It’s easy to become a worry wart. Like so many people out there, I struggle with the common fears and anxieties that plague us when we’re starting off. Am I missing out on opportunities? Will I be ready when the time comes? Do I blow donkey balls? We’ve all got to stop being such panzies. …

I still think they’re kind of annoying
Apparently lots of dolphins are getting slaughtered outside of Japan. I don’t mean to sound completely heartless, but I still think they’re overrated. I petted one at Sea World once. Its teeth were scary and it just felt like rubber. Big deal – I have an action figure with the same attributes. Anyway, a bunch …

Sweet wallpaper design confuses insects
Another great print series from a Canadian agency today. This campaign was done by Rethink in Van City for Orkin Pest Control. This looks like a bad episode of Trading Spaces. Whatever happened to that show? Did viewers honestly get sick of watching neighbors slop primer on one another’s floorboards before gluing effing hay straw …

This blows.
This certainly isn’t true for everyone, but a lot of people whine. Like, about everything. All the time. It’s annoying. I can’t wait to be done high school. I can’t wait to be done college. I can’t wait to get a new job. I want out of this town. I want to go back home. …

Almost as good as being infertile
More condom ads, you say? Why yes, good sir! I dream of working on a condom account. You basically get to throw all social standards out the window – all for the sake of making a wicked sperm joke. Anywho, these print pieces come from the Buenos Aries division of Young & Rubicam. They celebrate …

This post is filler
I wanted to make a post tonight. I really did. I swear. But I couldn’t come up with anything. I browsed the ad sites and none of the new pieces really caught my attention. There was nothing of interest swirling around in my mind… So I refused to blog (kind of). If, for whatever reason, …

Jose Canseco wishes his daughter was an assassin
What happens when you give publishing tools to everyone? You get a bat shit crazy Jose Canseco! Awoooo! In a wonderful case study of social media monstrosity, everyone’s favourite juicehead went off on the Tweetosphere yesterday. Hilarity ensued. Here’s a sampling. Should have raised my daughter as an assasin she could have joined kickass and …

.PPP – Powerpoint Poo Poo
People are hilarious when they present. I had the terrible displeasure of watching myself on DVD not too long ago, and I just about cried. I do weird things with my hands. I say everything is “obvious”. I look like a knob. I thought I was way cooler. But we’re all in the same boat. …

Having fun with stationary
Above is the world’s greatest stationary set, produced for 13th Street – an action/suspense channel owned by NBC. My favorite piece is the face-impaling 4-hole sheets. Does a wonderful job of maintaining that corporate/professional feel, doesn’t it?
