Sorry. It’s been a strange couple of weeks and it is only getting stranger.

Anyways, I felt it was my duty to draw your attention to a particular part of the internets called the Davey Dance Blog.

Davey Dance-BLOG. A project started while traveling Europe during Spring 2007. Armed only with an ipod and a Canon PowerShot, Davey picks a location and a pop song. Then Davey records an improvised dance.

You should check it out. Here is his latest video…

For the rest of his amazing videos, you should look at http://fishel.tumblr.com/.

Polaroid.

You did a crappy job this year of making commercials that made me laugh. They were not funny and at times, downright weird. Carlos Mencia? Cavemen? Things dancing that shouldn’t be dancing? We’ve seen all of that before. Give me something new and exciting.

Highlights, you ask? E-trade with the baby stock trader. Cute. The Coke ad with the balloons chasing the bottle of Coke balloon. Stewie vs. Underdog and out of nowhere comes Charlie Brown. Also, Amp energy drink for using the guy that played Donkey Lips from Salute Your Shorts in an ad where he jump started a car with his nipples. For the record, the ad itself wasn’t that funny but how can you not love Donkey Lips?

Please, next year, make some better ads. I will need them to comfort another loss by my pick to win it all.

By the way, Patriots? You suck.

  • I found out that I am now half of a college graduate. I got an Associates Degree in Business Management
  • I got a real job. Like, really real. Like in an office with a computer and a desk.
  • I bought a video camera. So now I can do things like this….

I put up some songs and you listen to them if you want. Maybe comment… whatever. If you’ve never had the privilege of attending an online mix party, feel free to visit these previous versions (Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3) and give them a listen.

I think you should be able to find a theme with this one. Thats not why I put them up… it just happens to be what I am listening to at the moment. A lot of these songs were on the playlist before whatever happened, happened.

So that explains where I have been for the last three weeks. I am still not really sure where to go from here but I suppose now is as good a time as any to start putting myself back together and for some reason I picked this as the place to start.

In between now and the last time we spoke I have grown another year older. I celebrated by quitting my job. I have been out of work almost two weeks now and while I am enjoying staying up until all hours of the night and waking up at noon the need for money has crept its way back into my life.

I started out the new year on the right foot… literally. After taking a nap on January 1st, I woke up to find my glasses were no longer on my head. After not finding them on the couch I got up to start looking. Well, I found them. Under my foot. Broken. So I spent the second day of January getting new glasses. Kelly at Lens Crafters was most helpful in not making me get another eye exam and just replacing my old prescription but it was still expensive.

The glasses change will be documented in the photography project I am working on. It was decided that I should take a self portrait a day while I grow a beard. Other than that my desire for photography is nil. Sunsets, nature and architecture as an artistic medium no longer interest me. Hopefully something will stimulate me soon.

I hope your year will be a good one.
