I'm going to start this posting thing called #ithinkitsamazing

Usually not too gung-ho for BET(TV network). Or their version of TRL, 106 and Park. But they are doing something every show that caught my attention. They start trending topics on Twitter at the beginning of their show and they read some of the tweets on the air.

The silly thing about all of this is, most of the people tweeting their trending topics don't even know that's where they came from. Personally, I found out a few weeks ago noticing a trend of a random appearing common-interest hashtags like #RUkiddingme and #thatsnotcool in the evening, around 6 when the show starts. By making it a trending topic, they get all of Twitter involved and start a social media revolution of some sort.

I must say that they have just about mastered this social/interactive media and TV thing.

Pizza w/ Auld Lang Syne

Sometimes I get discouraged about my work and what not because I am a sensitive artist but;; if I randomly disappear from here for a few it's because I am creatively drained. Smh.

Been going innnn on Pizza Fusion of the past 2 weeks and me and my partner can't seem to get it together. We've been trying but I guess not hard enough, ugh. And it kills me when I feel like I've done what I can, and then I run into a creative block. Smh. And plus this snow has been blocking my life and making me lazy. Ugh. I gotta get back on top of things.

And it doesn't help that this song is stuck in my head and won't go away;; it's making me sad.






**This has been a life update.**

My Biggest Inspiration;; I'm such a sucker for love.

I was on the internet like a year ago... maybe like 10 months, I don't know July maybe? And I came across this beautiful piece... everything about it is just amazing.

And then I let a boy see it, majoring in graphic design, we both talked about it for like 30 minutes goin innn on why it works so well. The diagonal, the colors, the tattoo on her foot, everything. We didn't even know what it meant or what it was, it was just simply beautiful. I believe I fell in love at that moment. (I'm such a nerd... smh.)

The boy and I, we put so much emphasis on our passion for design that one day we fell apart. Timing is bad, but all of our art and observation was so good.

It goes to show that some things can never work.

But I do still love that boy, and this piece. Therefore they both will always be a part of me.

Soooo.... I art direct frozen yogurt?

Alley Graffiti

Graffiti always, how you sayy... intoxicates me.
I can never stop wondering what it means...
who did it... what kind of person they are... why they did it...
it's just a lot of mystery to this kind of art...

anyway I discovered this in the alley [of course; my favorite place to find art] and decided to share.

Interactive Observation: Qdoba

Got this random e-mail from Qdoba Mexican Grill talking about playing MASH? From middle school?

M-ansion
A-partment
S-hack
H-ouse


So I click on it and it's this awesome intro about playing the game and a bit about the food. The point to play was to get a coupon for a free meal, and apparently it's random each time you play.

I was amazed that most of it wasn't about tacos and what not, until you get to the end. But they had a bunch of characters, cars, and jobs that were semi legit just like the old days when you picked your own.

But overall it was a pretty fun activity and I got a lame coupon at the end for a free drink with purchase.

But the best part about it was that I got to play again, and Qdoba was responsible for that, which will always stick out in my head... *INSIGHT*

I'm coming up with something like that in life. I learned about this in some class I've been in; that you don't want to always push a product so hard into what you want to make fun an interactive. It's got to be just enough.

CP+B, Interns, life

Thought this was funny.
I happened to come across it on AdFreak and just looking up things they talked about with Crispin Porter and Bogusky involved. But anyway their last year's summer interns made this rap video for fun.

Kind of disappointing thought because I ain't see one black person -___-; I prolly could have hit a killer verse in that song. I'll hand it to them though they did good.

I wonder how much of a chance I'll have at the big time being a black female. I want to be HUGE and I'm not going to stop until I get there... I keep figuring, in these kinds of things, in advertising, in target markets and what not, there is a need for a black voice right? So I have to fit in SOMEWHERE. And I will.

Hopefully this internship [MAIP] happens.
Oh yeah, I got to the interview stage guys. My first baby step to a big time name in advertising,

'Nance and them.'
Oh yeah, I went there.
