Spread IE Hate.

Starting with this hilariousness I just saw checking my email.

Hiatus

I would love to sit here and type that I haven't been writing. But I have. Just not here. But who am I kidding I always come back.

There's just something about going back and looking at the things that once made my brain's cranks start tunring; and then they make me feel like that all over again.

I see so many inspiring things every day that I should post; but it just doesn't happen. I think about it; but the busy-ness of my life gets in the way. But I'm kind of tired of that.

I need to learn to make much more time for myself and my passions.

Writing. Advertising. Hooping. Social Media. Internet shit. Music. Love.

It's my desk at the Martin Agency. 

It's been a long time coming but I'm finally here. Assistant Media Planner. Dream job.

Been here for about a month and a half and it's everything. 

Social Media: It'll Always Be Fresh.

Look at MySpace.com. When I was 16 years old, it was all I could think about, all anyone could talk about, and the life centerpiece of everyone around me.

Now, Myspace is just a blackhole of internet space that keeps trying to open up.

Sorry Myspace, but there are 30 million more social media sites that are doing new things, and 30 million sites ahead of them that haven't even been dreamed of yet.

You'd think people would be shaken up by the new concepts that get introduced over these years, months, even days. But technology is never-ending. I get sucked in every time I hear about something new.

Now, just like most, I don't really like change. But I'm forced to take whatever life throws at me and that includes social media.

With the world going mobile (Thank you Insta.), new video apps are being introduced and they come with their own sets of rules and attitudes.

Most recently, I've adapted to this SnapChat phase. It's a cool little app that sends mutual users videos and pictures. The catch is: the messages disappear forever into the internet world after 10 seconds.

I know, I know. It makes no sense; that's what I said after the first day. But now that I've sent more and more Snaps, I'm understanding the culture of it and who, when, why, and how to use it. Yet, I still have a lot to learn. For starters, I just learned that you can send one message to more than one person at a time.

What's the point of it you ask? That's the thing. It's something only YOU can understand. You make it your own. Just like music, TV, and everything else that requires an opinion, you just have to try it to find out.

Signing up and adapting to a new social network is almost like getting a new job or hobby. Oh hey 2013.

We can only love it and live it. And send spur of the moment videos with scribbles on them.

Clarity, VMFA

I visited the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts on Saturday afternoon and for some reason I can't get it out of my head.

It was just an overall wonderful experience. I had been there twice before: once for a school project, and another for a wedding. I can definitely say that I took it for granted both times. 

Something about it made me feel... Relaxed and at peace... Grown up... Cultured... I can't even explain it. All I know was that I was inspired. 

I took time gazing at the 18th century American art, the 21st century modern art, the Pre-Colombian, and African parts of the museum. I felt like I was somewhere else. For some reason, when I stepped in that museum, I didn't think about anything but what was in front of me. And I'm a thinker, so it takes a lot to get me out of my element like that. 

The fact that I can remember the experience so vividly says a lot. It felt... Almost therapeutic... And inspiring. I like to blame all the feelings on not being in school anymore. I don't have history classes, or art classes. So my interests were just that - interests. And I loved it. I will definitely go back.

My spa day. 

Okay I'm done rambling. 

Love this Disney ad!!!!
