I recently updated my five year plan. I’m not a big fan of five year plans- too much committment – but mine was about two years outdated and in need of some serious revisions. Anyway, when comparing the “old” and the “new”, there was only one item that stayed the same… qualify for the Ironman […]
Tonight, I asked the twitterverse, “Do you settle because you want it now, or do you wait for perfect?” The answers I got back ranged the gamut from “waiting = not living life to the fullest” to “nothing is perfect, settle now” to “wait for perfection.” First, the twitterverse is right, nothing is perfect. But […]
For the last week, I’ve been playing around with WordPress and considering switching. Although, I still can’t decide if I’m ready to mix pleasure (the blog) with business (the freelance stuff). Several hours later, I’m almost done re-formatting all my posts, but still have the majority of my freelance stuff to import. But here’s the […]
No matter how good of an idea you think it may be, below are some of the things you should NOT do while drunk: – Call, text, IM or contact someone of the opposite sex. Trust me, if it’s that important/cool it can wait til the morning when you’re sober – Same deal with emailing, […]
Ladies and gentleman, mark your calendars. Today I signed my first one year lease. It’s not 100% official, but the paperwork has been turned it.

As a BDA, your #1 function is to make your Client’s life easier. Ultimately, that is your singular goal. Even if you suck, completely screw up the campaign and drive revenue into the toilet, if you make a Client’s life easier they won’t fire you. AND, if you truly are making a Client’s life easier, […]
For the last few weeks, I’ve been contemplating switching from Blogger to WordPress. Last night, I gave WordPress a spin. It’s cool and really easy to add extra pages, meaning I could potentially integrate some of my freelance portfolio into the site vs. having different back ends to toggle between. However, when it imported all […]
A few years ago, I got a tiny, discrete tattoo. Shocker, right? Anyway, one-sixth of it represents dreams let go of. At the time, I was ready to let go of the biggest dream I had had to date. It had broken into a million pieces without any possibility of being able to pick up […]
I’m a little concerned that pigs will start flying and hell will freeze over. Just a few things that crossed my mind in the last few weeks: Signing a year lease. In fact, I took it a step further and actually considered buying a place if the floor plan I liked wasn’t available for rent. […]
