Eat. Sleep. Shit. Advertising.

One: Two: Three: more weeks of school. Not technically, but I have no intention of being at school after the first week of December because I hate it and I need time to focus on the Christmas party. Less than a month til the party and still no DJs! WTF! There's no one to blame but me, I haven't had time to source out local DJs. Ideally, I'd be going to every party in town to find the right one because I'm that anal, but instead I've been leaving it to production companies to sell me one because I'm that busy. =(

I have huge projects due in the following two weeks, and I'm being very picky which classes I make the 1.5 hour commute for. At least my plants are happier because I'm at home to water them every day. At the beginning of the program, the coordinator told us that we have to EAT, SLEEP, AND SHIT advertising (a phrase we normally use to mock him), however the reality is that this program forces you to EAT, SLEEP AND SHIT ADVERTISING. I'm constantly confronted with ad ideas that are so lame in retrospect I'm embarrassed to even have those thoughts.

For example, this morning this guy Peter was trying to open one of those Del Monte fruit cups without spraying himself. In my head, I was picturing a Del Monte commercial where he sprays himself and a sexy Mexican fellow comes by and licks the juice off his face. Fruity. Del Monte Fruit Cups.

WTF! That was so gay on so many levels, I don't know what's wrong with me! This is why I don't want to go into advertising because I fear the risk of one of these retarded ideas gets picked up and I have to feel responsible for releasing another unecessary, unsolicited, bad fucking piece of advertising into this world, and I don't think I could live with that.

On the flipside, I think I'll have some ads produced by next week which I'll happily put up for you all to see. =D I did a photoshoot for my bicycle campaign on Monday, was outside for 3 hours straight in 0*C weather. The pictures were great, but the lighting was very very bad. And there was no way to fake summer anymore - all the trees are bare and there's leaves on the ground. It would've been better if the pics had been taken over the summer. =(

Peace out 4 now.

there's an email from me to you sitting in the draft folder because it's sooo long, so don't think i've been abducted or something... i am alive! just have A LOT to tell you! BUT, i had to post a comment in here because i REALLY liked your ideas for the bike ads because they were good... in my oh so very esteemed and obviously blindingly brilliant opinion at least. and the del monte ad is fun-nee...as long as Rick doesn't get tooo involved in the super gayness of course (how realistic is that? hmnnn).
