I always hate the feeling in trying to make your new place feel like home. I remember when I moved to Bloomington…I hated it. It never felt like home, then about the time when I was comfortable with it and starting to really enjoy living on my own I decided to move to NYC. It took me about a year to fall in love with NY. At first I hated it…I was scared to drive, I was scared to do anything really. The apartment was so small. The lifestyle was just different. I missed my family and my friends and wanted to move back. Now after being here for about 4 months I feel like I barely know Chicago. I miss ny. It’s like some days I just crave it. It makes me wonder what Chicago holds.

People in General and God
So not so long ago I came up with a weird fictional religious creation theory. What I mean by fictional, is that I thought it might be fun to write a story about people who believed in this religious creation theory and how it would effect our lovely civilization.
I’m sure there are books out there that are like that. For example there is probably someone out there who has written about a world in which all the people adopted a single religion and the problems something like that would cause.
Well my idea is more of a different take on that.
The idea is basically you have this guy who one day comes up with this crazy theory on creation. This guy is no scientist and is the furthest from a theist as you can get.
So out of the blue he has this Creation Theory and he starts to talk to his friends about it. The religious friends think its nonsense and the atheist friend tell him its interesting but they wouldn’t want to bothered by it.
Anyway as the story goes he decides to put his theory out on the Internet. Immediately millions of people start to argue about validity and blasphemy.
Not too long after this occurs, the most unlikely event happens. God visits Earth, and informs everyone that the theory was right and god had just been waiting until someone blogged about it before he’d make his grand appearance.

To The Annoying Person On My Block…
Please learn how to properly use or control your car alarm. Every day this week a certain car alarm has went off during the night. Anywhere from 11:30 pm to 7 am. And last night to be exact 4:31 am and 7:01 am.
I don’t really know how this is happening because it sounds like just one of the regular annoying alarms that goes off when you accidentally hit the panic button on your keys. It’s just BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. And it’s pretty much parked right outside the bedroom window. It’s not like a huge truck went by and set off all the alarms on the block, cause that only happens with the touch sensitive ones really. So honestly, really either your car is messed up, you don’t know the buttons on your key thing and when you try to lock it you hit the panic and can’t turn it off for like 10 beeps cause you’re an idiot, or you’re sleeping with your car remote and keep rolling over on it and hitting the panic button. ?????
IT IS ANNOYING! Seriously if it was just one beep, fine, I could deal with that. It might not even wake me up. But 9 or 10 beeps?! What could you possibly be doing that you can’t turn it off?! Get it freaken fixed.
And the past few times it’s happened I’ve tried to get up and see which car it is but I haven’t figured it out while I’m pissed and stumbling around in the middle of the night. Maybe just to check if it’s a touch sensitive alarm I will go out and touch every car parked in front. And if I find it…EVERY TIME…I walk by this car I will set it’s alarm off just to be annoying so maybe this person will get rid of it.
Blogging the blogverse. Why the hell is it so important?
Is it just me or does the advertising world think that blogging is so amazingly important. And yet haven't realized that only people in the industry are reading. Blog Blog Blog. As if gaining readership is so darn important.
The line is "we do social media because everyone is doing social media".
It's all a joke.
Media
I see it slowly unraveling itself. All the intricate words and weaves that the advertising industry has given itself are slowly falling apart. Ratings used as currency. More than 80% of all the people who use it as currency know that its really worthless. All a big scam to make money. Money over something imagined. Only because it is the best thing that we have to go on. Newspaper companies so huge that they have spent billions of dollars in circulating their articles around the world. And slowly its all falling apart.
This economic downturn is destroying the advertising and marketing facade. Millions of people are loosing their jobs because the upper level crust know just how meaningless they all were to begin with. And now, with technology coming to a point where it is slowly wearing away at that small grasp that advertising still holds on society, all the old ways are becoming more and more unprofitable.
The only people who will emerge victorious in the advertising industry are the ones who are able to move with technology and embrace it, understand it, manipulate it, and use it. Sorry print, you’re just a few more steps away from extinction. Sorry old Television advertiser, you’re about to be outdone by some crazy new interactive web 3.0 advertiser who has a better understanding of the psychological behavior of the new WebConsumer or HybridConsumer. Everything will be connected to the Internet soon. The bubble may have burst in the early days of the web craze, but it has evolved into something completely different. And will continue to evolve. Those who try to stay away are only clinging to the last vestiges of a life style that is no longer as profitable.
We are all outside. But we’re only starting to realize that we are just inside an even bigger box now.
