seasonal evidence

if it werent for not being able to find a legit parking space in breck for lunch yesterday or perhaps the 15 minutes to drive down main street or even more, the 400+ covers we did for dinner last night which is another story in itself...the sure sign that the tourists have finally arrived here in the mountains is the activity of the local law enforcement...as i left the brewery having skipped on consuming my daily beer i headed down the street to have one drink at johnny g's passing two cops with flashing lights, driver standing outside the car...as i left 10 minutes later a semi appeared to be pulled over in the middle of street so i headed the other way onto the interstate...on the opposite side of the highway another vehicle was pulled over and as i came up onto a semi their was a patrol car turning into the emergency turnaround, i slowed a little as i was 10mph over...getting off i decided to hit up wild bill's for a second and last beer as i needed to check my mail at the post office anyways...leaving there i picked up my mail and headed down the hill to my whole in the wall passing another set of flashing lights...i made it to the condo and go figure i could not find my keys...i figured everyone is getting pulled over and ive been lucky so far but i cant get into my place so i head back to the post office and on the way back up the hill i see the cop sitting idle on a side road until i pass, here he comes i think and sure enough he pulls in behind me tailing close like all asshole five-o's do...i make it to the top and he turns around, phew...its only been two but who knows and i dont wanna find out...finding the keys i head back the long way around figuring he's still sitting on the same drunken drive stretch making it home without seeing any further evidence of tourists or law enforcement.

targeting love

part two of my new expo on internet advertising...the first one featured myspace and this second one is just as intriguing...





okay so we've seen ads everywhere for true.com as mentioned previously but this one i found while searching for some lyrics to the latest "new found glory" album...now if not familiar with this band its pop/punk and everything that goes along with that, i.e. troubled relationships...so was this ad specifically targeted to this band? or the lyrics in the song...

"This is the future, can we save it?
We've done things no one thought we could do"

or

"This is my relapse that I've succumb to
I went through things no one should have to"

i dunno but i know the answer to the advertisment...not so much.

as trump might say

i hate the fact that most of my blogs lately have been about work but i think thats about all i know these days...today, yet another interesting day...in short, i fired an employee...first time, sorta, for that one but it went rather well...no details just the subject...in other news on employee behavior, i had the joy of dealing with employees mad at each other for various reasons, oh the fun of being "in charge"...meanwhile and finally off the topic of work i got to go out with nick two nights ago and since itd been so long we all know how that goes...bottom line, the next day hurt which included nick puking out the side of his pickup on i-70 as he drove to work and myself blowing a .03 around 2pm...no more details required.

the breakup

im not so sure how well this blog is going to come off but im going to write it anyways...

the other day i read a friends blog and heard the same theme for the millionth time before i even read one sentence...we all hear it over and over again when relationships are on the rocks...go on guess...figured it out yet...ok here it is, "but we've been through so much together" and this is often followed by something of the sorts of how "we are so much closer now" having been through hell and back times ten...im not an advocate of breaking up whenever shit hits the fan but i am an advocate for reason in conjunction with emotion... continual denial of reality and situational ignorance never works in the end for any subject matter...

society has told us in movies and fairytales that everything will work out, from cinderella to how to lose a guy in 10 days to edtv to shrek...there are plenty more examples of "getting back together" in the entertainment industry except for the one i watched last night...the breakup...girly movie some might say but its vince vaughn's twist and a nice mirror of reality i think it actually was for a chick flick...if u havent seen it im going to spoil it for you right now...they dont get back together, period.

now i could continue to write examples, reasons, emotions on this topic but im going to leave it off here because those who understand my mode of thought on the matter need no further explaination and those that think in the manner im describing ought to consider how cliche their life is...but who am i to know anything, ive never been in a serious boyfriend/girlfriend relationship but the funny thing is, these mentalities also play into our life relationships with friends and family, so take what u want from this, agree or disagree, but in the end, cheers because we all faulter on the tug between emotion and reason, reality and realitytv.

the big o

opportunity...thats why im here. in a random twist of circumstance and change my position and responsibilities at work have yet again switched...the drama is nearly gone and im psyched for the season to actually start...im not going to post the details here on everything but just to say things are finally starting to fall into place and my reason for being here is being solidified more and more...the gm and myself conversed over what we're here to do...in reality its alot of work...but in forsight its for a chance to do something big, to be apart of something big...its going to be a challenge but thats why i entered into this industry, to learn new things by facing the hardships along the way...and im ready, lets go...
