Peter Forsberg is Old News

In other news tonight, I have a crush on JJ Wrobel, a Richmond Renegades hockey player. He's a pretty great guy except that he seems to be a Minnesota Wild fan which probably means it wouldn't work out anyway.



However, unlike other hockey crushes I've had in the past, I've already met him. Plus, I didn't have to wait in line for hours upon hours to see him for 10 seconds. I totally got a whole half hour with him. Peter Forsberg may be all Swedish and have Stanley Cups under his belt, a Mercedes custom made for him, but his name isn't nearly as fun to scream during a game. After the game on March 9th it's skate with the players night. I've almost already got tickets. Who's with me?

ADD and Country Music

It seems as though I cannot focus on anything for more than a few minutes. I find that my ADD has significantly increased as a result of the Adcenter. At every moment I find something else to do besides advertising. During my meetings today I accomplished the following:

finding five of the same ad in seven different magazines
posting those five ads on the Adcenter walls

Please help add to the collection. If you are from outside richmond please send me the following ad if you ever come across it. I'll send you baked goods of your choice as a reward. This is the ad:














As a side note, I used to only listen to country music late at night and now that is the only radio station I play in the car. I've realized that country music is like bad ads. For example, "She thinks my tractor is sexy" is equal to "There's a better way to attract a lady." Perhaps, I am creating crappy ads these days because I'm listening to the bad ad radio station. I think it's NPR from now on.

Also, I am going to focus all my attention on creating an entire wall of armani code ads.

ProFlowers

Today I had an experience with ProFlowers. They came in the most wonderfully packaged box. I'd get these flowers for the design of the box alone. My flowers aren't in bloom yet, but this is what they are going to look like in a few days. Also, they smell fantastic. I sure do like flowers. I don't really care about too much but it sure would be nice to have a greenhouse at my house. I recommend proflowers for your flower needs because they made me want that greenhouse even more today.

Say Goodbye To The Following When You Say Hello To The Adcenter

a. eating 3 meals a day (there is simply just no time for three unless one is a "power" meal)
b. being able to do only one thing (multi-taking rules my world. im eating dinner while writing this. it is 12:02am)
c. finding time to color coordinate my closet and all those other weird OCD things I do
d. filling carols up with gas.
e. calling my mom (i promise i'll call tomorrow mom)
d. read the weird book i started over break. (i allow myself to indulge in 5 pages at most every day)
e. not being able to keep up on engaged and underage on mtv (what a bummer)
f. go for a walk
g. shower (i forget to take one most every day)

I have to go to bed. I have to be at work in 5 hours.

This May Explain Why I Haven't Seen Many Movies


Erica texted me today asking me about a Porky from the movie The Little Rascals (1994). I got to thinking about how much I watched that movie from 1994-1998. I'd say in total I've seen the movie at least 25 times all the way through. I have never watched any movie more this one not even some of the classics like: Blue Crush, FHE's The Velveteen Rabbit, or The Ewok Movie.

I believe to be the culprit as to why I never advanced my movie watching eyes to anything but this movie. The only thing comparable to how many time both Erica and I have seen it is how many more times we have quoted it. I bet that if I put the movie on tonight I would know at least half the movie by heart.

As a side note, Bug Hall got hot. Not Teddy Geiger hot, but hot.

Comments Demanded!

I demand comments on the ad to follow. (even if your comment is that you have no comment)

If you can't think of a comment here are a few to choose from:

•tor, do you realize you've used a rooster instead of a hen in your ad?
•why pearls? this chicken seems more into diamonds than pearls.
•have you considered how this ad might offend the chicken community?
•tor, you seem incapable of properly shadowing below a chicken. work harder next time.
