Labels

I am not a liberal in the political sense and certainly not in the moral sense. Nor am I liberal spiritually speaking as it pertains to faith. (I hope it never becomes a crime for standing up for what you believe). I am however liberal in other ways that might not be popular with some. I have always felt more comfortable being myself than belonging to any one group... and I admire those who are true to themselves though they are outcast (There was this man... about 2000 or so years ago...) Anyway...that's what I hate about labels.

I could not be labeled very easily for a particular market... nor could a growing number of people in the world. So many ad people simply don't get it. The world is changing as are the people in it. Many are saying these words silently but who is listening?

I am not a market - I am a brand.
I am not a demogragraphic - I am an individual.
I am not a consumer - I am a producer.
I am not a statistic - I am a person.

Living

A whisper is better than a Twitter.
Face to face is better than Facebook.
Beachcombing is better than Googling.
Galleries are better than Flickr.
Flea markets are better than eBay.
Surfing the waves is better than surfing the internet.
Talking is better than texting.
Pens are better than keyboards.
Laughing out loud is better than LOL'ing.
Emotions are better than emoticons.
Dinner with friends is better than social networking.
Living in the real world is better than living on a computer.
Being alive is better than being wired.

Yummy

Maybe not good for the body, but good for the soul.

The Real Life


I wonder if he knew how prophetic this book really was.

Time passages


If I could, I'd stop time so Josh and Em and I could spend more time together. They will grow up, as they should, and marry and have kids and migrate and prosper and get older and I will get older and we will only have memories. I just want to make some more memories before all that happens.
