More Cool Packaging

I've been really big on packaging lately because I think it's super awesome and I keep seeing interesting things in random places.
Packaging is the first thing people see when they are about to buy something, and I think it's super cool to have somethin unique to wrap your product in.

I recently came across these holiday Coke bottles and they are INSANEEEE!!



They look like ornaments aaahhhhh.
I just wanna hang em on a tree!

[The only difficulty is they may be hard to put in a cup holder, poop.]

Insights in the Strangest Places

Riding down the street earlier, I saw the stupid Wendy's sign and wondered why it's so old fashioned. Why they never really went modern and why they chose red as their main color...?

I mean of course there's all the obvious reasons but I want it there to be deeper meaning behind everything in life so I assume it's something....

Aliens maybe?

I don't know but it made me realize how crazy my mind is. Haha.

I've never in my life been this observant,
and I'm pretty observant so this is extreme.

I just think it's funny how everything gets so much thought now-a-days.
I'm going to go ahead and blame it on these thinking classes.
This so called 'gift' will continue to grow.

But it's a good thing.

BIG PEN BIG PEN.

We started selling these at work at Staples and I thought the packaging was pretty awesome. It's a big pen with a whole bunch of regular pens inside of it lol.

Simple concept but cool. The big pen turns into a piggy bank!

Neat-o! lol.

Mmmm, oatmeal.

This stuff is comedy gold.
It's cawled The Oatmeal and I can't stop clicking on this stuff because it makes me lol.
It's this cool website that has random lists and quizzes of random things in life that are obviously sarcastic... well some of them are pretty serious but it's all funny nonetheless.
One of my favorite ones was


Other funny ones include the 9 types of crappy handshakes and 8 ways to tell if your loved ones plan to eat you.

Haha!

While I was looking at this stuff I was thinking why is this so funny? It's just ridiculous and I applaud their efforts.

tadow!

AWNY

So I went to the AWNY Conference this week in in New York and it was quite awesome.
I had sooo many insights about advertising and life.

One of the things that were constantly talked about was our constant conversation about the change in advertising (and life) because of technology.
We're all getting so busy and multi-tasky with our lives, and DVR /TiVo is getting out of control, so traditional advertising is sooo not what's poppin' anymore.
Advertising is going straight digital and we're getting less and less time to get our word out.
So what we create is going to have to be REALLY good and 'sticky' as Scott would say, and people are going to have to remember it.
OOH (Out of Home) advertising is the second fastest growing medium in the world, guess what's first? I shouldn't even have to say it.

But anyway, overall the conference was off the chains and I'm more than glad I went!

Mashable.com


This website, might just define my life.
It's this cool bloggish site that has all the info on all that is social networking, technology and the internet. It connects people to Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, etc. Any website that's influenced by Web 2.0 and just life, interaction, and all that is sweet on the internet.
I realized that every topic on there was interesting and compelling to me, and they are things I care about.

SO. In life. I want to work with something like this. In the Digital/Interactive/Internet Marketing/Media field, I can sit behind a computer forever if I have to!
These things are what keeps me compelled, these things never cease to amaze me.
Which is another reason why I love to blog.
In here and all over.

This is my futureeee!!!

Ode to The Blank Page

Dear Blank Page,
Where do I begin...?
Cuz all I know is

you are not
a friend to me
you give me hopes
unrealistically
that call for action.
O,
how will I ever get
past this?
when you poke and pester me
with a
vengeance.

Such a bully you
know that?
when I see you I run;
get a ton of nerves and
butterflies
in my tummy, you
make me weak.

I wanna grab some
yellow paint and just
splash it in your center
like a summer day
in winter
out of the or-
dinary,
you make art
excessively scary,
cuz with this solemn swear
of hate
you carry;
a vengeance.

Look at me I'm
flippin' out
without out a clue
of my next move;
move,
on to the next one...

cuz even with the most ideas
and the most thought put
into it,
you stay still and
empty like
you have no soul-
and when you have no soul
I have no soul.

so tell me if I add
my spice and flava
to your abyss,
will you still haunt me
for the rest of my life?

And keep coming back
with a
vengeance?

Oh look, you
aren't so blank anymore.
