And I just found out that my buddy Vinny, one bad ass ad man, has a blog. Go check him out here.
What?
The holiday lull now begins and I turn my attention away from politics and toward my family. It’s during this time that I will sit at my in-law’s home in the middle of the woods and dream up 30 plans to make millions in 2009. I will have every intention of making these plans become reality as the New Year begins and as I take the first step, alas, I will be swallowed up by politics again.
It is a cycle that happens again and again. Once I broke that cycle and birthed Under The Power Lines. Maybe it will make millions one day. Until then I’ll just have fun and try to rock it as hard as possible. If I had a special power like on Heroes, I’d want the ability to teleport myself around the world. But I wouldn’t teleport back to Mexico quite yet. Maybe Venice. Isn’t that where the streets are full of water?
At this point I have no idea where I’m heading with this so I’ll just stop and stare at the computer screen, waiting for something dreadfully amazing to happen. Or I’ll wait until I find something more relevant than this to write about.
Has anyone read Pour Your Heart Into It? I like Starbucks. I like books. I think I’ll read it now instead of staring at the computer.
