Pumping Iron with Clowns

I'm at the gym the other day. Pumping iron. Getting all huge and jacked and ...oh, hold on, I'm training for a marathon, scratch that. I was getting my cardio in (that sounds far less macho, but whatever)

I get done sweating for the day and go to the locker room. Standing at the sink splashing water on my face when a guy walks in with a suit on that is all comic book characters. Super heroes mostly. But it is a suit. Full on pants, sports coat....suit. I am tired and live in New York so I don't think a whole lot of it until he busts out a tube of lipstick and starts going all Buffalo Bill style. I sort of look over ... give him the once over. He looks back at me and says: "It's OK, I'm a clown." To which I responded, "Oh, didn't even notice."

My question: why is a clown using the gym locker room to get ready for a gig? That upped the creepy factor by about 4.

Clowns are weird. Never liked them.

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? ...

The Trump vs. Clinton Dilemma

The Trump vs. Clinton Dilemma is an American Dilemma I have always been into politics. The board game "Hail to the Chief" was my favorite growing up. (At the age of 11 I could name all 50 state capitals. Today.....Hold on, let me try. Tell you in a second......43. Respectable, but an exercise that led me to kick myself over forgetting the capital of New Hampshire.) I love political dramas like House of Cards and The West Wing (another reason I should have known the capital of NH). When I was in college I majored in Political Science and nearly went to 50% of my classes. On Sunday mornings I tend to watch Meet the Press. You get the picture I am painting here. I enjoy politics. And I'll even tell you my political views. I am a fiscal conservative and liberal on most social policies. Our tax code is completely broken. Immigration is a problem that can be fixed with cooperation and better border enforcement/let's ...

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...
