Looking Forward

I am a huge fan of the new direction advertising is trying to take these days and finally looking forward to graduating. Lately I have been very uninterested in joining the work force of robots not willing to thing for themselves and forget the past. A few more companies are realizing that you don't have to be so traditional with their method and exploring more out of the box thinking, of course they are not American. I hate that most people in the industry just won't open up to it, but when I see a great ad that takes a different road it just puts a smile on my face. Advertising can be an art form and very attention getting without making you feel like it was just forced on you. This Audi ad I just saw made me love advertising again and pumped me up to stick with my personal style.

Fashion Police...Dress Carefully!

Ok, so true story, I totally forgot to post this super awesome piece of vintage fashion history that I found in my Grandfather's house over the holiday. The tag on it still makes me laugh when ever I think about it, just to funny.

My New Year Task

So its that time of the year again to make a promise to yourself that you try your hardest to accomplish but just seem to fall short. Like those wash board abs you always talk about having or to run a mile everyday. Well I tend to push myself on this task by asking what would be the hardest thing for me to accomplish and do it for one year, then try to keep it if needed. For example one year was to intake zero caffeine, this one stuck with me and I have been caffeine free for 10 years now. Two years ago I decided to stop smoking cigarettes and have still not smoked. So this year I decided to give myself the hardest task of all.......no alcohol for an entire year. Being that I come from a German family that drinks wine/beer at every meal and I am a social drinker when I hang out with friends. This task will be a hard habit to break, but lets see how it goes and I will keep you posted if I last.
So I had to end my year by emptying out my condo of all alcohol in one night.
It started with the beers.

and by the end of the night the alcohol was gone.

So the challenge has been accepted.
