Election Night

Election Day.

I have a few thoughts.  None of which really matter. 

1. I had to vote absentee and it sucked.  I actually enjoy waiting in line to vote (let's not get fucking crazy here.  10-15 minutes is cool, 3 hours is insane and a problem).  It may be the same part of me that likes jury duty.  It is part of the American process.  I embrace it. 

2. I wish I were in NYC tonight.  There is just more going on. 

3. Election Day should be a national holiday.  It is shameful that it is not.  

4. Donald Trump could win this thing. 

5. I got Sling TV to watch the election results.  It keeps cutting out and the NBC option is only "On Demand"   Not cool.  

6. How can you call a state on 2% of the vote?

7. I think Brian Williams is great.  I just don't know if I believe that he was in the room when Donald Trump won the presidency. 

8. Chris Matthews does not like Brian Williams.  

9.  It will all be over soon.  

10.  Did I mention that Donald Trump might win this thing?  

11.  I have to go to the DMV tomorrow.  Pretty sure I will not be happy with my government no matter who wins the election. 

12. I could be up late. 

13.  Please let this be over tonight. 

14.  I think I have enough beer.......

15.  Wish I had NBC.  Love that Lester Holt. 

16.  Where can I get myself a pair of those Lester Holt glasses?

17.  The DMV tomorrow.  Fuuuuck. 

18.  I could use a haircut for my license photo.

19.  Hey there Ohio.  You Trump lovers you!

20.  Hey there PA.  You Trump lovers you!

21.  Jeez....what's up with all this Trump love?

22.  Florida.....what about all the old people from NYC?

23.  Sooooo we are going to vote orange tonight, are we?

24.  I wonder how long until TRUMP is on the front of the Trump House (formerly known as the White House)

25.  Sort of surprised at this one.

26.  Bed time.  DMV in the morning.

27.  Let me just clean up these beer cans first. .......

28.  I am not going to allow this to ruin my day at the DMV tomorrow.  I just won't!

29.  There's about $1.35 in empties here!  WINNER for the night:  Andrew J. Goodnow

30.  Loser for the night: if you are a Shipyard Pumpkin Ale or, ya know, America in general.

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...
