Yo Verizon is WRONG for this one.
So clearly I get a kick out of watching Verizon go at the iPhone but this might have pushed it to the limit lmao.
But yeah this is too great. One of my favorite things is advertising is when someone makes a big joke or parody out of something well known.
All I gotta say is I hope Verizon can live up to going in on the iPhone or else that'll just be an EMBARRASSMENT. ahahaha.

Human Joystick
Thought this was pretty awesome.
I know there's alot of this kind of thing is pretty common now with the whole Wii thing and the eye-toy with playstaion and everything.
But the concept of having the whole theater work together to play this game was amazing and interactive and it connects the people in the theater even though everyone might not have known eachother.
Team efforts!
SN: It occurred to me though, what's with this creepy futuristic music that's always in ambient videos? Lol it's cool but wwhaattt??

Album Cover
Just something I've been working on.
It's an album cover, some crap I made up of course, but an album cover nonetheless.
Not really done with it yet though I don't believe.
But anyway, I let this rose that this boy gave me rot for like a month. And it stayed in tact and didn't fall apart or anything, and I'd been planning for the perfect rainy day to do the shoot. I took a lot of pictures of it, but of course I wish I'd taken more.
Yeah man.
This is cool.
[[SN: I felt like a full blown emo kid while taking these pictures lol.]]

Man that's a big gummy bear, wtf.
So I randomly came across this website of the most AWESOME products.
Vat19.com
(If it wasn't so expensive I may have ordered something lol.)
But anyway these people push past the ordinary and go for the different and unexpected; cool if you will.
But I thought it was worth noting and checking out.
Here are some of their sweet ones I came across!
This is a 16oz heated travel mug that can be plugged into your car or computer's USB port to keep drinks warm. Wtf. lol.
The world's largest gummy bear. Nothing more to say. And yes, you can eat this thing. lol.
Pencil and notebook SOCKS.
A USB hub that looks like a tape! Just freakin' sweet man.

Early Inspiration.
I randomly just discovered the uh, first ad I ever did in life I believe. It's really dumb lol. It wasn't published anywhere but myspace in my photos... but it was supposed to be an ad nonetheless. lol
Junior year in high school, I came up with this company that you call if you want to kill yourself.
It was a joke lol.
But I wrote an entire ad for it. I forgot it but I remember it was hilarious, and from then on I knew I was supposed to be in advertising. I even wrote a jingle, I think I remember that though. LOL.
1 800 I'll Kill
for when your friends have got you
against your will,
so if youre feelin' suicidal
and you're gonna gauge your eye out,
or jump off a building,
or hang from the ceiling,
pick up the phone and call us!
LMAO.
I had people in my class that knew this stupid song, gladly took a picture doing the hand thing (it's supposed to be the finger gun as a phone), and asked me to do the whole all the time commercial just because.
It may not have been a great idea, but it was an idea, and I been crankin' out ads since before I even knew I was meant for it, and now one day I'm going be doing it for a living.
Oh life.

"I think I annoyed them, I got on their nerves..."
Wow.
This guy.
My friend sent me this weird YouTube German commercial yesterday. And apparently it was "lmaoaoaoao loloololl lls ahahahahaaahahaa!!!11!1!!11!" funny.
I clicked on it and watched it. The whole 2 minutes and something. And I didn't laugh once. I actually thought it was kind of sad.
See, in advertising they do/should go after people's emotions. Whether it is making them laugh, feel sad, feel compassion, feel... SOMETHING.
But it's just funny to think about how different people react to advertising in different ways. Not only can it come from perspective alone, but how a person is feeling at that moment, or your environment, anything can influence your feeling towards an ad.
I was enlightened by this. Just thought it was worth noting. lmaoaoaloamaao lol lol. -__-

Litter Fun
Richmond is a polluted place. But hey, every where is.
But one thing I noticed is that it's really hard to walk down the street without seeing some trash.
And me being the weirdling I am, I just love to look at it; figure out what it is; where it came from.
Because the thing is, every piece of litter has a story.
What makes me lol is, if someone else sees it, they have no idea why it's there; nor do they care usually.
But I do.
My crazy mind always causes me to generate ideas on people's litter... why, I don't know. But I thought I'd share some of my randomness.
It was clearly too late to go to the liquor store.
711 it is.
"I'ma get a Red Four," said Shelly.
"Mayne, you know that jank is mad nasty , and it ain't gon do nothin' but give you a stomach ache," Wanda said back.
Shelly pulled the Four Loko off the top shelf. "But hey, it's gonna get the job done, how I'ma ever tell Jon how I feel today without this stuff in me!?"
"Well whatever," Wanda said.
After buying a couple drinks, they went back to Ashley's house to finish getting ready and pre-gaming for Have a Nice Day Cafe.
At approximately 11:17pm, October 10, 2009, Toya pulled up to Wanda's apartment building and called for them all to come across Grace street to where she was parked.
"Wait a minute! I'm not done with my drink yet!" Shelly screamed, stumbling in her new magenta heels.
Well then you gon hafta chug it on our way downstairs, Ashley said on her way out of the door, "Come On!"
They all rushed out of the building down the stairs, as Shelly struggled to finish her drink before they got to Toya's car.
"Ahhhh finished!" Shelly said as she took her last sip and a seat.
"Don't leave that empty can in my car!" Toya shouted.
Kenneth is weird guy.
He only has a few select friends and an interest in bugs. One of those kids who rides his bike to class and acts like no one else on the road exists.
Last night he went to Mcdonald's with one of the only friends he has, Laura, who happens to be his first love.
"I love me some Quarter Pounders, Half-a Pounder, POUNDER!" he dorkingly said to her with a smile on his face.
They continued to enjoy their time there, and he paid of both their meals with the money he makes working as the guy who dims the lights at the Landmark Theater.
Sitting at the table, they encountered a moment of silence, so Laura took out a few ketchup packets out of the bag.
"Eat Ketchup!" she yelled and threw it at him.
He laughed and decided to keep a packet in his pocket, you know, for sentimental value.
The next day, he decided he was going to finally tell him how he felt about her.
"I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it!" he wrote in his internet journal.
10 minutes later on October 15, 2009 at 3:23pm, he got a call from her.
"OOHHH guess what, Kenneth, Joe finally asked me to be his girlfriend!"
He was speechless;
Desperate for a way out.
"That's great, Laura," he eventually said trying to sound enthusiastic, "I gotta go."
He immediately got on his bike and felt like riding to the end of the world.
Wearing the same jacket he wore the previous day, he discovered the packet he saved and threw it on the ground, angrily.
Joe happened to be the one who stepped on it 26 minutes later.
It was Lisa's 20th birthday. In the middle of the 2 birthdays that really mattered, but her friends wanted to make it matter.
"Let's get bout 4 Lil' Ceas Pizzas! Get drunk, act a fool!" one of her best friends Nick said.
"You know I don't drink, Nick," Lisa said sternly.
"You will next year, even if I have to pour it down your throat!" he said laughing.
"That's what she said!" Sheila added out of no where.
They all laughed hysterically.
The next day was the planned party. Nick went out with some of the people who were going to the party and got pizza, 2 bottles of cheap Vodka, and a six pack of Sprite.
"What's the 6 pack for Sprite for?" Lisa asked while they were all walking home from shopping.
"For yo non-drinkin ass, and for our chasers duuhhh," he said.
She laughed out loud. "Noooo why only 6?"
"Oh cause we ain't got no more money in the party fund," he giggled shamelessly.
Theo, Jenny, Larry and DeeDee claimed their Sprites quickly.
Lisa went to pull off the last of the two for herself and Nick, and didn't know what to do with the ring holder.
"These things kill whales!" she said.
So what!" as he knocked it out of her hand.
Now, for the fun part.

Is this even legal?!!
Verizon Wireless rips off Apple and slaps AT&T in the face so hard;;
I feel as though it might not be legal... lol.
Is it ethical? lol.
Clearly a world championship fight.
[[Gooooooo Verizon!]]

Ambient Media
In class today, learning about ambient media and about to be doing a project on it, inspired me to research some and I must admit that this stuff is pretty awesome and epic!
I was excited to look at it, and come to my own definition of it without looking it up word for word. What I came up with is that ambient media is message that is saying something by not just saying it, but changing people's perceptions on things by turning something ordinary into something extraordinary. It's about making statements boldly and not being afraid to overstep boundaries; it's about it making a person think about something more than they normally would; it's about getting people to say 'wow that's friggin cool'; and it's about interacting with the consumers!
But yeah. Anyway, here are a few coolnessness things I found.
SCHWEET!

S0B3R.
Got a vanilla Coke by my side --
chillin.
Me and my vanilla Coke.
We go together like water and glue
and you
just sit there.
with your beer and your malt liquor
and your hands on your head,
laughing
without a care in the world.
I'm one of those new age girls;
with that new age shit
got my new age bitch
asking me questions i can't answer
right away
because I'm fad-
ed.
because i'm jad-
ed.
lost in a moment I can't find my way out of
because my vanilla Coke and I
become one once again
and i once again
feel illegit.
Sometimes i feel like I
can't be alone
on my own.
But I can when I feel like it.
and I like it--
This guy
all on my jock,
my dude, you ain't worth it
back up and find a new one
I ain't
Tha one

I'm too new age for you
and my mind is dancing in circles

my dude?
I've fallen and I can't get up
she keeps talking
and I can't shut up;
and now I can't hear...
"what's this disney channel shit you always listen to?"
he seems to say to me
"i don't know man,
it's just sweet"
I said back.
He don't know me like that,
not forreal anyway.
So until I meet
something sweet
like this vanilla Coke number 2.
or 3.
4 maybe.
I can't control
this feeling maybe
I should slow
down
and examine what's around me maybe
I
can't,
or I won't.
Cuz this vanilla Coke and me
we
go together like oreos and
orange juice.
I'm so loose
forgive me now,
for I am lost in my shadow
once again
and I
once again
am done and over.
Got bored and intox and wrote... lol.

Food... mmm...
I was having a conversation with my friend who is seeing/talking to/dating/idolizing(lol) this Jamaican Rasta guy, who definitely has different values and views on life than we do. (We all smoke every now and then but you know. lol)
But anyway she was telling me about how he's a vegetarian and only sees eating as a way to nourish his body and doesn't really care about it. And she went on to explain that she didn't know what do as a date with this guy.
Now that's so funny to think about.
Us as American's we don't even realize it, but we kind of center our lives around food.
It's a social thing, an emotional thing, a fun thing, a cultural thing, and just everything to us!
If you go out wit your friends half the time what are you going to do eventually? Eat. Family? Eat. Boyfriend? Eat.
And we're also EXTREMELY greedy. I mean have you SEEN the plates they serve at the Cheesecake factory my gawd they're huge!
And when we cry, we run to ice cream and sweets, when we're happy and want to celebrate it's like 'hey! let's all go out to eat!' It's somebody's birthday, where's the cake?
Just a bunch of connections we have to this stuff.
And we eat it for the taste, not because we need to. And half the time, heh, probably more than half, it's something that's not so great for our health.
So next time you eat, do it cause you need to not because you feel like it!
...okay now I'm hungry.

Oh Baby put the bottle down.
Does it make me an alch if every time I see side walks like this, I think of a drink?
Haha, there are mad random sidewalk shapes in this alley I walk in every day and I can't help but notice every nook and cranny I walk on. The bottle one is my ultimate fave though clearly.
But overall, there are some pretty terrible things back there and I just get weird feelings and smells and vibes I get from that place. It's pretty creepy but it gets my senses going.
SN: My camera phone is pretty great.
