Ahh, Home

I’m leaving the city for the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania tomorrow. I will reunite with many things I left behind when I moved to New York: space, my bed, my bed, my bed, my Ma & Pa.

The Future: I see lots of Bs in your life. Could be people whose name begin with B, or Boston, or a bee. Or maybe you need to let it BE.

good luck,

My coworkers took me to Pattern Bar for tapas and drinks tonight, a good-bye of sorts. Four days left of work. Mannnnnnn.

On Saturday I had the pleasure of having my very first NYC outdoor food market venture aptly enough in Williamsburg. Cleverly named Smorgasburg, this Brooklyn Flea Food Market had a diverse range of foods. I sunk my teeth into a Cemita’s taco de lengua and a tasty beef bolgogi bun from We Rub You, lounged on a grassy lawn with a friend, and ended my food venture with a refreshing blueberry peach pop from people’s pops .

Our Original ‘Mad Men’

In west on 08/14/2011 at 3:08 pm

It would have been legendary adman Bill Bernbach’s 100th birthday tomorrow.

Bernbach is the founder of DDB Worldwide and is regularly hailed as one of the original ‘mad men’: an expression that was barely remembered by the wider populace before the hit television show but is now the go-to phrase for describing any significant ad figure of 1950s or 60s. Bernbach’s talent towered over most of that time, and he is widely acknowledged for leading the creative revolution in advertising. He is also credited for introducing the idea of the creative team structure, still dominant in most agencies today, where copywriters and art directors work together in two-person teams.

Everyday someone’s loved one, somewhere in this large vast world, is lost. Let’s take  a minute to embrace our loved ones, embrace our life, and be grateful to be in the now.

The Future: You fall. From a great height. There’s no way to prepare for this. It might be the best thing that’s ever happened to you.

good luck,
