Why "Viral Video" is Viral

Even money Carlos gets The Silent Laughs. Shouts to A-Wonner for the heads up.

Literally, Underground

This is why I moved to New York. More pics here. The next one pops off Sunday 4.23 @ 6pm. Last car on the uptown-bound 6 train from Astor Place.

Oh Shit, We Have a Blog?

Hello? Hellooooo? Anybody there?

Best Seat in the House

Ethrina sent me this. It's really fucking funny.

Jes, got your tickets yet?

What up fam?! Been busy with some bugged activities lately. I think the storm has passed.

INNOVATE / EXECUTE it's 2006!

Well, my company has a new banner up to help motivate the cogs for the '06. I was thinking we could start applying these same principles to the blog. No really, it could benefit us all. I mean, the marketing specialist that designed this banner is probably getting paid as much as my whole office, so it's got to be good stuff. Let's go over them together:

• Own & Ignite Authentic Development (Is that an image of a bomb? wuh? You want me to set fire to this building? Ok, I guess I could do that)
• Enhance a Culture of Service (This one is my favorite as it represents a subject from each race, gender, creed & has the token wheelchair guy....you can't be diverse without that guy)
• Elevate Quality Production (note the finger pushing the elevator button, that's just plain smart right there)

So we could all learn a lot from this banner. Let's innovate and execute while still kicking it up a notch, shall we? Good, good.

Two die of carbon monoxide poisoning

What a way to goOUT... If it didn't happen in Milwaukee, it'd be hard to tell if this was real or an Onion article.

Early

The annual spring ragga freakout doesn't typically arrive until mid-April, but I guess it's running ahead of schedule this year. Ready or not!

Get it, Greaser!

Great moment in crew history.

Found

Oh shit!, where you been, son? Just one question: "Can I get one of those fresh, young beers there player?"

Switch like the Wu Tang Symbol

Clan in the front, let your feet stomp! I'd like to make a documentary about Cappadonna. I used to think he was just a butt emcee, but that dude is fascinating -- that's my word.

Let's Gdansk

"Polka's taken a bad rap," Mr. Sturr said. "Everybody thinks it's for your grandmother or your grandfather. Everybody thinks of 'Lawrence Welk' — which was a great show, don't get me wrong — but it's not like that. It's very updated. We've Americanized polka a lot."

And for that, he's worthy of scorn. Look at this bastard! Polka Disco indeed.

Also, this just in from the *holy fucking shit* dept.

Dad, don't Read the Times Today

There's an odd string of words in there.

Party Like it's Your 10th Birthday

For those that slept, wake up.

FOR HIRE

Am I the only asshole that is greeted each and every morning with a 4' x 8' banner reminding me to convey a smile in my voice over the telephone? Sorry I've been away from the cake for a minute, but I've been exhausting all of my energy in doing whatever it takes to get away from said banner. Thus far, my only solution is to steal it while working late one night and stuff it into a dumpster. I need to get out of here. Piss on my soul.

Missing? Yes. Gone? No.

I aint forget youse. Just waiting for the crop of spring interns to come on board and get fluent/engaged. Turns out admin and blogging *are* mutually exclusive!

In the meantime, check out this song and video from Tom Vek. The snare and organ blend are indeed setting the fire in me (CC) lately. Ill video.

Headphone Jones

New music I'm feeling, on Ed's block and all over the city.
