So growing up i'm sure you've all heard your parents say, "Don't play with you food", but since we've been talking about going back to our inner child, i wanted to show some awesome pics that i found of people who play w/ their food, and do it well!

Unbelievable
So, I live with my best friend and a b*tch. It's now 4:52 and I have been home since 3, almost two hours have passed since I attempted to blog, before I was shockingly, verbally assaulted by my roommate. I came home from class, and was sitting with my friend in the living room, when our third roommate walked in with her disgusting dog. Now, the agreement was that her dog was not allowed into the rest of the house, only her room. He lives at her boyfriends place and this was the agreement we had made before signing a lease. However, she is disrespectful with no regard for others except herself, her boyfriend and her "boys" (their two dogs they treat like infants). She has not slept in our apartment once, by her own choice, and she lives out of boxes in her empty room here. So, about the argument...she attempted to tell us that she is not paying for internet or utilities because she is never here, because we have casted her out of her own home! Well, little does she recall that we came to this agreement about her dog last April!! I think its absurd that she thinks its ok to not pay for utilities or cable and internet, thats not how it works when you are living with roommates. She clearly CHOOSES to sleep at her boyfriends every single night. She expects us to compromise for her, but I don't want to deal with cleaning up after an animal, when I already have enough responsibilities to deal with. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't hate animals or anything but while living in a college apartment I do not want to deal with a pit bull, lab and kitten!! Her and her boyfriend are just consumed in each other and their friggin pets, and its highly annoying. I am sick to my stomach right now after the screaming match that just occurred, I can't believe this kind of nonsense is already happening and its only September! It's going to be a loooong year!
How do you.......
I'm sure someone has already asked this question on the blog before, but I couldn't find the answer, how do you post YouTube videos directly into your post? The other day my friend showed me this hilarious SNL skit of Tina Fey pretending to be Sarah Palin (they are twins!) and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton. I saw an interview on TV that said that Sarah Palin has actually dressed up as Tina Fey for halloween. I'm sure a lot of you have already seen the video, but for those of you who haven't here is the link:

It is HILARIOUS!!!
p.s. "I can see Russia from my house" I couldn't resist..lol.
Stride Gum!
So I'm sure you guys have all seen these stride gum commercials and if you haven't then you watch cause they are the best. My personal favorite is when the yam or whatever it is hits the guy in the stomach. I have probably seen it 50 times and crack up laughing everytime. I think these commercials are genius. They definitely have a whole campaign going cause before these couple of new ones they used to have the one with the people working in the company and then all the assembly lines stop. So this is just the next step. I love the whole van grabbing the gum and taking off. Its just hilarious. So here you go and enjoy just a little something that makes me laugh.
Bonus!
Some friends of mine in the band Margot West finally got some of their tracks recorded and are releasing a SP (Short Play). They've got their stuff up on PureVolume and MySpace. If you're interested click the image.
Goodbye Yankee Stadium
In my family-you have to like the Yankees. It's not an option. If I brought a Red Sox fan home-I'm fairly certain my brothers would fight him. Some people are just crazy like that. So naturally, I watched the final game played in Yankee Stadium on Sunday night (and DVR'd it too :)) Sunday September 21, 2008 was the final game at Yankee Stadium, or as New Yorkers know it “The House That Ruth Built.”For 85 years the Yankees have worn the pinstripes with pride. Winning 26 World Series Championships and hosting 37 of them, the New York Yankees have employed some of the greatest players to ever play the game. Bernie Williams, Paul O’Neil, Whitey Ford and Yogi Berra were just a few of the legends who made an appearance at the farewell game to Yankee Stadium.
Yankee Stadium opened on April 18, 1923, and fittingly Babe Ruth hit the first home-run that game in the new stadium. He was quoted before the game saying, "I would give a year off my life to hit a homerun today." Later Ruth was quoted with saying "God only knows who will hit the last." Well-now we do too. It was Jose Molina-the catcher for the Yankees.
Several other events aside from just baseball games took place in Yankee Stadium. There was the famous Muhammad Ali fight, the Billy Joel "Piano Man" concert, and several visits from various Popes to the field. This stadium holds more breathtaking, unforgettable, miraculous moments than any other sports arena. Games have been won at the last opportunity, records have been set and shattered, curses and dreams broken, but more importantly dreams made. The new stadium is literally just across the street from the old (I know-why build a new stadium anyways??). Hopefully some of the traditions that make Yankees baseball what it is will continue on, just on the other side of the road.
And in case you were wondering they did win their final game in the stadium :)
Creative people in the houssssse!
Hey homies!
You may or may not know, but I am heavily involved in the student organization Lady Spirithunters. Basically, we are a group of ballers. Haha.
Anyways, I am the current T-shirt chair and am having a total lack of creativity! We have an upcoming crush and the theme is Rubik Cube. It's a very unusual theme and I cannot, for the life of me, think of a clever tagline or quote to put on the shirt! I was thinking of having the usual info on the front "LSH Crush blah blah blah" and then a giant picture of a cube on the back. Only problem? I also want a clever quote on the back with the picture! The only thing I've come up with so far is "Can you solve the puzzle?" I'm not completely happy with it so refuse to settle! : )
If anyone has ideas of ANY KIND please let me know because I am up a creek without a paddle!
Thanks everyone!
LGBT Stereotypes in Advertising?!
I came across this article on adage.com. When most people think of diversity, they immediately think: ethnicity. gender, race and/or class. More and more ad agencies are recognizing the LGBT community as a target group, but are having a hard time reaching them.
I copied & pasted the article below, but the url link is there as well so you can view the videos they mention in this article.
http://adage.com/article?article_id=131168
Published: September 22, 2008 NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Race isn't the only diversity issue causing a stir in the ad industry. A letter being distributed to agency heads this week is calling out Madison Avenue for its stereotypical portrayal of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.
 |
| Ads like this one from Snickers were cited as part of a 'critical mass of things that have been followed by the media that are showing a greater awareness and the potential for change,' said Michael Wilke, executive director of Commercial Closet Association. |
The letter was drafted by Michael Wilke, executive director of Commercial Closet Association, a nonprofit organization founded in 2001 to educate the ad industry on the preferred ways to incorporate or refer to the LGBT community in advertising. The letter's signers range from New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn to Nancy Hill, CEO of the American Association of Advertising Agencies.
In the letter, the participants ask the ad industry to "re-examine any lingering conventional wisdom that LGBT stereotypes, homophobia and transphobia are considered successful approaches to selling products by actually testing it with general audiences."
'Critical mass'
In an interview, Mr. Wilke said the call to action wasn't prompted by any particular incident or LGBT-insensitive campaign but rather a "critical mass of things that have been followed by the media that are showing a greater awareness and the potential for change. I guess you could say I was looking to create momentum on those things."
Mr. Wilke cited recent ads from Nike and Snickers that were considered homophobic as part of that critical mass, adding, however, that the marketers' responses to those spots showed signs of limited progress. "More often than in the past, advertisers are taking [insensitive ads] down quickly when they realize they're not being well-received -- and not usually with an actual apology, just acknowledging things are not going well."
Michael Wilke
Occasionally, corporations will make good on advertising that's seen as homophobic by creating gay-inclusive ads, such as the "Lipstick" spot T-Mobile aired in 2005 as a response to its 2003 "Basketball" commercial, which was viewed as saying insufficient masculinity was socially unacceptable. But such corporate turnarounds are still rare, Mr. Wilke said.
Agency efforts
Some agencies also are starting to get more organized in their LGBT efforts. Three years ago, Havas' Arnold Worldwide established AMEN, the Arnold Multlicultural Employee Network, to create more awareness around diversity. Earlier this summer, the agency added ARC, the Arnold Rainbow Coalition, to "see some similarities between both of our fights," said Tiffany R. Warren, AMEN's director, referring to race and gender. "Generally when diversity is talked about, it really begins and ends with ethnicity. ... Hopefully this will be a sounding call to the industry to look at this issue seriously." Ms. Warren is also Arnold Worldwide VP-director of multicultural programs and community outreach and a contributor to Ad Age's Big Tent blog.
Katie Kelly, an associate broadcast producer for Arnold and the New York chair of ARC, said, "Brands are already asking: 'How can we start incorporating LGBT issues into our campaigns?'"
Mr. Wilke said he hopes the letter will create awareness of Commercial Closet as well as its signatories' assistance in bringing sensitivities to light. "We want to increase attention to both positive as well as problematic representations. The more attention given to them, the quicker responses we'll see by those companies."
The letter's signatories include New York Sen. Thomas Duane; New York State Assembly members Deborah Glick; Daniel O'Donnell and Micah Kellner; New York City Council member Rosie Mendez; Michael McLaren, U.S. president of McCann Erickson; Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer; New York City Comptroller William Thompson; and Tony Wright, CEO of Lowe Worldwide.
Long lost?
Five years ago I did the most spontaneous thing I have done in my entire life. I had just broken up with my first boyfriend, my high school was a ridiculous bore, and basketball season was over. Then I found out that there was one seat left in a student exchange program that my school was going to participate in. So, I called my parents at work, made my dad come down to the school with $200, put in a request to renew and expedite my passport. By the end of the day, I was officially going to spend a month living in Yerevan, Armenia. With people had never met, in a place I had never heard of.
We started the trip about 3 weeks later by spending 3 days in Moscow. It was beautiful, I wish I had my pictures from there, but I'm sure you believe me. For a group of 16 year old naive Americans, it was equally scary. They had warned us all about this before we went. We must've had 4 "culture shock" awareness workshops in those 3 weeks before we left. "It's not better, not worse, just different," they told us. I honestly thought I understood what they meant. But to tell the truth, I forgot it all as soon as I got off the plane. Russians are just different, being from South Florida, we were all so used to seeing the smiling faces of strangers. But in Russia, we knew we were not welcome. Every time one of us was to smile of giggle, it was met with a frowning face that seemed to say "get the hell outta here." None of us understood what we did that made people hate us to bad. If anything, our experience in Russia brought the 12 of us closer.
Armenia was completely different we were welcomed with open arms! It's not really something I can give justice to in writing. I'm not that talented. They loved the idea of having us there, and I've come to believe it was for two reasons. First of all, because America is so different and has such a big influence on the rest of the world. I never really understood this until then, but America is truly a diverse country. They don't even have black people in Armenia. Im telling you that me being tall and black was the most FASCINATING thing for them. I got more attention there than I've had in all the rest of my life put together. For the record, semi celebrity status is pretty damn cool. People legitimately thought I was Naomi Campbell. I heard things like "my friend's sister's cousin knows a black woman!" At least twice a week, some guy on the street would randomly buy me flowers. Needless to say, I grew to LOVE my time in Armenia.
My best friend Nina and I were probably the most embracing of this experience (to be fair, we were the ethnic ones, so they treated us like Queens, that made it easier), so everyday was an adventure. They took us to about 30 schools, and each one was equally excited to have us. Every once in a while, we would get tired of doing it, until one day when we drove up a mountain for three hours to a school in the middle of nowhere. One woman in particular was so perturbed that we had never heard of there country until then. At first we were upset, after all, the United States is (was) a superpower, and its huge on a map. Of course they knew who we are. But she brought up a good point, maybe the reason people don't like Americans is because we tend to be so self absorbed. I don't even think she meant it in a demeaning way, it is reality. Sometimes we get so caught up with our own problems that we never take the time to think about what's going on the the rest of the world. It's like, if they are going to spend so much time learning about us, is it so crazy for us to take 5% of the year to learn something about another culture? I honestly think Nina and I were the only ones (only students) that really listened to what this lady had to say. And I have to tell you that I am so glad we did!
I made relationships with people on the other side of the world, and I balled my eyes out when we left, because the chances that I could ever see them again were slim to none. The people we got closest to were Xachik (ha-chick) and Gevorg (gay-vorg). They took us everywhere and made us try so many knew things. One day, I'll bring in my photo album for you all to see. Well it's five years later, and I am still in contact with them. Not a month goes by that I don't think about them, Grand Candy, hiding from a military revolt, or making wishes on doves and trees. Today was one of those days, and I decided to share it with you. Well guess what? I just checked my email, and this is the email I got from Gevorg...
"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. you remember me? Hey you remember I promise you to come to USA, and so I`m here and not far from your stane, exactly in Alabama. I came to wark and travel and maybe one day we will see each other. If toy want you can give me your phone number and addres. :)))" 
He is the one on the right, he barely knew any English when I left there.
I am the happiest girl in the world today!! I'm nearly in tears. Best day ever. I highly recommend that everyone try and find an opportunity like I had. It changed my life!
Simple Beauty.
I guess what I'm saying is that in life maybe we need to embrace the simple moments. For example a moment I'll always remember happened to me about two years ago as I was riding back home from Live Oak. I was coming up to the outskirts of Tallahassee and there was a lot of construction and traffic was congested. I remember though that it was a great day for a ride; the sun was out, the sky was blue, puffy cumulus clouds littered the sky, and it was warm, but not hot. Now it bears mentioning before I continue that I am a people watcher especially in traffic. I think it's funny how most people think that when they're in their cars nobody else can see them. Now it was o
When Bars Fight Back...
Usually you hear of bar fights between two people, but what happens when the second party is the bar itself? Last Wednesday, I attended a fraternity crush at the Painted Lady. The theme was Guys in Ties, Girls in Pearls...harmless enough right?
Well half way through the night, I went into the bathroom. While washing my hands, I saw the entire mirror start leaning towards me. Before I knew it the mirror had shattered at my feet, my purse and phone were strewn about. The manager and bouncers rushed into the bathroom and asked how it happened. One of the fraternity boys rushed me out of the bathroom, and took me into the guys bathroom to clean my hand off...I didn't even realize that I was cut. The EMT on staff came to clean up my finger and told me I didn't need stitches; instead, my compensation for the night was one free drink! Did I mention drinks were a dollar.
Thankfully, the next day I already had a doctors appointment, because my finger was still bleeding. The doctor told me I would need two stitches tops. Yet, four stitches later I survived!
An Inconvenient Truth more convenient.
I am in no way a tree-hugger. Granted, I'd like to have both arms around the tree, their just too busy carrying plastic bags and water bottles.
With as much information out there I actually am still a bit skeptical about the whole gloom and doom, global warming thing. Yes, I think we as a society are harming the earth, but I also think that some of the so called “effects” are simply earth’s cyclical nature. I mean have you read the article on livestock producing more greenhouse gasses than transportation? http://talk.livedaily.com/showthread.php?t=558643
But that doesn’t mean that I still don’t try and do things to be more eco-friendly, like recycling (unless I can’t find a recycling bin) and turning off extra lights (except when I forget.)
I think most people are like me and try to do their little part. For instance, my sister has a fabulous eco-stylish baby boutique, Little Speckled Frog. Yes, this is a shameless plug, but hey I’m an Ad major!
Anyways, she recently showed me new search engines that are "green." Apparently, a white background uses more energy. The search engine, The Green Spider, actually lets you choose the color of your background and thus how much energy you want to save. The spider kind of scares me but it gets the job done. This is just one of the many companies everywhere that are making the switch easier.
My favorite eco-friendly innovation has got to be the new concept cars. I ran across this Honda concept car. The PUYO is a "small, four-passenger zero-emission electric car powered by Honda's proven fuel-cell system." It's completely weird looking. However, the British have an awesome hydrogen fuel cell car, LIFEcar.
Al Gore, I'll gladly do my part to help the earth by driving this car.
I'm a little confused
Let me see if I have this straight.....
* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're "exotic,
different."
* Grow up in Alaska eating moose burgers, a quintessential American
story.
* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
* Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well
grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the
first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter
registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as
a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator
representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the
state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the
United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while
sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and
Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real
leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people,
20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then
you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking
executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while raising
2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real
Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your
disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a
Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including the
proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no
other option in sex education in your state's school system while your
unwed teen daughter ends up pregnant , you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate lawyer who gave up a position in a
prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city
community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values
don't represent America's.
* If you're husband is nicknamed "First Dude", with at least one DWI
conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until
age 25 and once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of
Alaska from the USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.

Visualization
I am taking "Stretch and Relaxation" for one credit hour this semester. I honestly didn't expect much out of this class, but it has completely blown my mind. My teacher use to be a professional soccer player in Asia, amongst other great achievements. He implements a lot of Eastern meditation and visualization practices with us, as well as many more. To be honest this teacher weireded me out a little because he is SO happy, relaxed, and filled with joy at 8 in the morning. I am a very critical person so visualization and meditation is something I would never believed to work as much as it does. I can feel my negativity in a lot of things evolving into positivity simply because my outlook is changing. As graduation approaches I have been stressed out, overwhelmed, and going a bit crazy. It never occurred to me that happiness and peace will simply come to you if you wish for it. I always expect the worst, so I am satisfied when it turns out better. That's a horrible way to look at life. I have learned that I need to be more positive about everything. Your positivity will rub off onto your surroundings and positive things will happen to you. I know I must sound like Dr. Phil or something but I have been reading a lot about visualization and the chakras system. As a new chapter in my life starts I want to do things a bit differently. I don't want to be stressed all the time, I want to have more joy, I want to be excited to wake up in the morning, I want to release some of the restrictions I have on myself so I can be more creative. I really believe that a change in your positivity can change a lot of things in your life for the better. As creatives we should be treating our minds a little better than we do, after all that is what we rely on. Below is an article on visualization, just a little food for though...

Sister Love
Andrea's post about her sister really made me miss my little sister, Soraya. Well, she's not so little anymore. She's in her senior year of high school. We're only a few years apart. And even though she's younger than me, I swear she' so much wiser, and smarter, and cooler than I am. The best part is that she would say the exact same thing about me. Cheesy..I know.
This is one of our favorite places, Bill Baggs park in Key Biscayne. I remember having family BBQ's there when we were younger. I also remember making up stories and scaring the hell out of her, especially after sunset, when it was pitch black...oh we had some great times here.
Another Anti-Creative Encounter
So I have to vent again about the Anti-Creative Movement and all it's evil followers.
I have a real problem with working in a place that has strict...and ridiculous...uniforms. I've never went to a school that really had or enforced uniforms, so I've only had to deal with this in my adult life.
My first and longest running (to this day) job naturally has a uniform requirement. Black blazer, black bottoms, suitable shoes, and look neat. It's very reasonable. It upholds the purpose of having uniforms. We look professional and can easily be identified as employees of the company. But at the same time it leaves room for individual creativity. We can wear different tops, different shoes..you name it!
And my job at the elementary school is also very reasonable. We have shirts that we have to wear...and that's it. We can wear whatever color and type of bottoms and shoes and whatever. All that's required is that we wear the shirt specific to that day.
Now my third job...which I do adore....is downright ridiculous when it comes to uniforms. On game days we all have to wear this blah polo with blah khaki pants and blah sneakers. Its no fun. But just when I thought that was bad, I was introduced to the mandatory uniform for regular shifts. I have to wear black tux pants, high collared black button downs, a yucky vest, and hideous kitchen shoes. I honestly feel like Aladdin. And while laughing about it that first day, my boss felt the need to comfort me by saying: 'it's okay everyone has to wear it.' Big mistake. That just showed me how ridiculous everyone looked and how unnecessary it is to have to wear something so specific. There's no room to be creative with your own looks. Just wearing it makes me feel like a mindless worker. So to fix that I've been doing extra unique things. Like wearing crazy curly hair or really funky earrings or wearing my name tag somewhere different, or doing something cool with my hand towel. There all very small details....but they help me feel unique when the job is forcing me to look just like everyone else.....
Having trouble being creative...
This is the first time since I began blogging for this class a year ago that I honestly can't think of anything creative to write about. Maybe my mind is wrapped up with thoughts of my other classes that do not allow me to be creative. I have a lot of work in my other classes, which could be the reason that I am having trouble blogging. So, in order to help myself figure out a topic, I decided to google creativity. I've always been a huge fan of quotes, since they tend to give me motivation, so I am going to list some quotes about creativity that I discovered.
"To live a creative life, we must lose our fear of being wrong."
-Joseph Chilton Pierce
"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun."
-Mary Lou Cook (This quote reminds me of our World Famous class!)
"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly."
-Henri Bergson
"I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it."
-Pablo Picasso
-This quote also reminds me of our class. We have discussed in class how most classes inhibit our creativity, but in WFCS II, we walk into an environment in which we can flourish creatively every time. Here it is:
"There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish."
-Warren G. Bennis
Well, I hope some of you are motivated by these quotes. As I said, quotes definitely help motivate me and push me to be as creative as possible everyday. See you all in class tomorrow!
ahh wait
ok the other website is kinda ghetto, but this one wreaks of nostalgia... go here!

let's bring sexy back...
Hey guys!
ok so I know we're baller, you know we're baller... but i think it's time to let Sierra Vista AZ know we're baller we are! I think this would be a really fun class project (maybe we could do it to practice 6 hats!)
My mother's good friend is the a head editor with the Washington Post (sports section), and she's obsessed with our class! She is one of those "random and important" Tom keeps telling you is reading our blog (She started last spring) when i asked her to view our final presentations, and she was blown away by everybody's (i believe "incredible" was the word she used) Anyways, now that your ego's are exploding, I wanted to share this e mail she sent to me and get some feed back... i say let's do it, but check it out, maybe we really could be WORLD FAMOUS! watch out AZ! 
"Hi Carrie!
A very good friend of mine, Tom Reardon, is a City Council Member in Sierra Vista, AZ.
http://www.ci.sierra-vista.az.us/cms1//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1208&Itemid=791
He is also working to promote the centennial of the Warren Ball Park which was built in 1909 and is one of the country's oldest parks. This centennial will certainly get state-wide attention -- possibly national interest due to the history of this park and the millions of baseball fans. http://www.warrenballpark.com/
This might be a fabulous opportunity for you and your classmate for the "creative class" or as a special project that would certainly set you apart from the rest of the pack. As you have come to discover, the advertising business is exceedingly competitive -- only the best survive...the rest sell shoes at Nordstrom!
I have copied Tom on this email so you can discuss interest, explore feasibility and potential.
