The Andrew Diet

I think it is time for a cleanse of sorts.  Not talking like doing some juice fast or depriving myself of food or coffee.  Nope I'm thinking that for a short period of time...2 weeks maybe.  I am going to try a diet consisting primarily of fruits, vegetables, and lean meat.  And of course, I get to eat Chipotle a minimum of twice a week.  What's the point of living if I can't eat Chipotle?  It would be silly.

So I'm thinking coffee in the morning.  Fruits, vegetables, almonds, chicken, wine (grapes are a antioxidant rich fruit), and the occasional tortilla wrap.

Doing this for a few reasons.

1. Been tired lately
2. Sleeping like crap
3. Eating too much fried and/or processed food.
4. I could lose a couple  pounds.
5. Too much wheat in my diet.
6. Want to get back into racing shape
7. Beer (as much as I love it) is rather high in calories.  A couple week break will only grow our love for each other.

Should be easy.  Eliminate corn syrup, most wheat, and beer.  Boom.  I bet I lose 6 pounds in 2 weeks.  Not trying to go all psycho crazy with this just a couple weeks of better eating.  Oh, sushi.  Gonna allow sushi too.  Cause that's the good stuff right there. And soy beans.  And soup.  Soup is cool. Why not chocolate a couple times a week.  And cookies, those are OK, in moderation.  I think.

Yeah, we'll see how this goes.  By day two I'm going to be dunking a deep fried Oreo in a Guinness while eating a chocolate bar.

I think I'll start on April....sometime in April.

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...
