The Greatest Love the World Has Ever Known: An analysis

Well, its Valentines Day, almost. I’ve actually had a few nice ones in a row since I am happily co-habitating with someone I genuinely like. But as usual for me this time of year,  I start thinking about the lack of reasonable romantic role models in the world at large.  My family didn’t provide one. And come on… don’t we all want to see  a functioning hopeful model? Read more

RE: The Super Bowl: How I tried to win a million dollars last year

Posted February 5th, 2010

Okay, I know it is The Superbowl on Sunday but I don’t watch any sports. There. I said it.  None. Nothing. And I am fortunate enough to now live with a man who shares my lack of interest. (In fact, just last night he said to me “Who is playing this year? The Monkeys versus The Coconuts?”)I also never enter contests. Never ever.  But for some insane reason last year, when I saw that there was a contest that was about winning a million dollars by making a Dorito commercial, I was moved to  try and win. I thought “I can’t be the worst person entering this contest. And maybe I will be one of the best!” And thus, in the throes of a delusional headwind,  did I make a theoretical Dorito commercial that would have aired on the Super Bowl broadcast last year  had I won a million dollars. Which I didn’t. Read more

A week or so ago I posted an idea I had of making myself a corporate montage. At that point I was still thinking of trying to compete with GE or AT&T or Standard Oil, image-wise. But now I have  decided to try out a more honest version. Quite frankly, I think I may be breaking new ground as I doubt Exxon or Merrill Lynch have even considered going in this direction. Here is what my corporate montage really should be. Read more
