Grammar and spelling are important, people

January 20, 2009

Tweet Words are important. Homonyms in spoken language are easy to understand, misusing them while writing makes you look like a fool. Also, quotation marks are used to denote quotes. Piqued is a different word than peaked. Complement and compliment do not have the same meaning. Quotation marks are used to denoteâ€“shockâ€“quotes. Confusing there and [...]

I ran 13.1 miles yesterday. For fun.

January 19, 2009

Tweet I’ve always wanted to run a half marathon, but I’ve never been a runner. Sure, I’ve run to train for other sports, I’ve run as punishment while training in those sports and I’ve run to get in better shape, but I’ve never competed in any sort of timed race. This was my first and [...]

I just want to dance…

January 19, 2009

Tweet I LOVE stuff like this. Would be a great idea for an improv everywhere type of stunt. We could block off a busy intersection after a game, hit up mill or break out in the middle of the convention center.

This is what I do in my free time

January 14, 2009

Tweet Read. I read everything from cereal boxes to blogs to receipts to lyrics. I read a lot. One thing I don’t read all that much is kontaktmag. Why? Well, I write it. Not all of itâ€“we have plenty of talented writers that only need my editing skills to be greatâ€“but I my words all [...]

You cannot create a viral video!

January 13, 2009

Tweet I’m job searching. I’ve been job searching so long that nearly every job description is starting to sound EXACTLY the same. Still, some things stand out, especially in the marketing field. …”create viral videos,”… Listen, I know those companies are trying to sound with it. I know they’re trying to sound hip. They are [...]
