Just a little rambling

Some thoughts for Feb. 14, 2013......

If you are a cop you should be physically fit.  Not the guy who walked into the coffee shop just now and could not bend down to get an item from the open air cooler.  The job is to serve and protect, not eat and sit. 

What is this Harlem Shake thing?  I have seen it.  I don't get it.  Looks like a flash mob on crack.  No really, it is stupid.  

Harlem Stew, on the other hand, is delicious and can be found at Red Rooster in Harlem. 

I really wish my parents taught me how to throw a knuckleball.  Cause I would enjoy Spring Training right now.  You know, getting paid to play a boy's game in warm weather. 

So the Olympic sprinter with no legs allegedly shot his girlfriend.  You would think he would be happier, you know, overcoming all those obstacles and all.  Having a model girlfriend despite not having legs.  I should think he would treat her better.  

Speaking of the Olympics - no more wrestling?  What's that all about?  Oh, yeah.  Money. Enjoy the ancient Roman sport of golf though.  

I was running really well and then this week I was terrible.  Oh well, no use crying over milk that was spilled, we'll just bump it up next week.  

Please 8 pound, 6 ounce Baby Jesus.  Please let me get an apartment in the city soon.  Very soon.  I dislike this commute.  So. Very. Much. 

Time for a new lap top.  This one no longer plays sound.  I don't like that. 

I wish more people would buy My Sober Year.  Those who read it seem to like it.  

Reading six books right now.  Maybe I should focus on one and finish it.  That would make far too much sense. 

How about this weather?  Phew.  Makes you want to live in Siberia.  Oh, wait?  It doesn't?  OK, Moscow, a cultural center.  

I need a vacation.  On a beach.  One where I can wear a Speedo.  Ok, I'm joking there, but I want it to be an option.  

I think I lost my favorite hat.  That would suck.

My taxes are going to be a mess this year.  I am scared.  Why can't they be more simplified.  It isn't a Republican or Democrat issue, it is an IRS issue.  

I shaved.  Oh yeah...loving the naked face feel.  And really hoping the beard grows back fast.

Save the Pandas

Let's get this out in the open.  I love Pandas.  They sit around all day eating bamboo, climbing trees, rolling around........pretty much enjoying life.  I dig that.  If everyone in this world were more like a panda it would be a friendlier, fuzzier place.  But alas, we humans do not resemble the Giant Panda.  Therefore, perhaps, we need Giant Pandas to remind us of how simple life can be.   (OK, I'm only speaking for myself here, but Pandas are simply a cool animal that I enjoy going to the zoo and watching for an hour - or however long they let me stand at the Panda reserve) So that is why this news report is so very upsetting to me: http://rockcenter.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/21/16964074-are-giant-pandas-worth-saving?lite&ocid=msnhp&pos=1 The idea that we need to be putting fewer resources into the preservation of the panda species.   I have some arguments here: 1. What would you rather save?  A lizard?  Liz...

What Is the World Coming To?

I have been working on a huge project at work.  I could tell you about it, but I will wait until the ink is on the page before doing so. My point here is that I have been able to be creative with how I plan a huge event.  Rather satisfying to create a concept and work it through.   You know, better than cubicle living. I hung out at an ad agency last night.  I wish my company had beer taps, free food, a pool table, and bean bag chairs.  No really......that was amazing.  Was also able to have an hour long strategy session around my event - while drinking free beer.  Yeah, so that didn't suck.  At all.  In the least.  In any capacity.  Whatsoever.  I may ask if they need an intern. Bought tickets to a Brian Fallon concert.  He is the lead singer for The Gaslight Anthem.  It is in the middle of New Jersey.  I have no clue how I will get there, but I will manage.  I mean, how tough could it possibly be? ...

Follow Up Emails - Marketing Rewards Program

A few years back I was working on a customer loyalty program.  Frankly, the idea and intentions were excellent, but what we quickly realized was that we put in place WAY too many steps for a person to join the program.  We lacked the technology to have a one step enrollment process.  You live and you learn with stuff like that.   Anyhow, the process and the amount copy I wrote for follow up emails made me think....what if a company actually wrote what they wanted to say to customers who weren't visiting the store or utilizing their rewards card.   I created Gorilla Guns.  Welcome E-Mail Thank you for signing up with the Gorilla Guns Weapons Rewards card!  We are thrilled you have selected Gorilla for all of your weapons, ammo, and gadget needs.  Remember, your rewards card entitles you earn free ammo for every third gun you purchase.  We thank you for choosing Gorilla and look forward to putting our sites on you! The Te...
