How sweet it is
Don’t expect everybody will love your work. Rule of thumb is 35% will love it. 35% will hate it. And 35% will be indifferent. I know that adds up to 105%, but I’m a writer precisely because I’m so bad at math. My point is this: your job is to write, or blog, or design, or paint, or pick stocks, or whatever, for the 35% who believe in you and love your work. Forget about the rest.

pending transactions can kiss my behind
Pending transactions. I hate them. The banks make you believe you have a particular dollar amount in your account and then boom… your overdrawn. WTF. If you just immediately take money out of my account when I spend it wouldn’t that make more sense? But no these pending transactions trick you. Why is something I bought a week ago just being withdrawn from my account now? Very sneaky. I need to go back to strictly using cash. These plastic cards are dangerous folks. dangerous! #freelance problems

Check out my lovely hand-made headboard. Courtesy of Father Klose (http://saddlebums.tumblr.com/) Isn’t she a thing of beauty? Lucky for you he’s starting a little side business customizing headboards for the masses. Interested? Give him a shout at turbosteve84@verizon.net

Cash Cab has been cancelled! I repeat… Cash Cab has been cancelled! What a disappointment. Now that I finally live in the city I thought the odds of hailing the cash cab were that much more in my favor. Guess not. I prided myself on my ability to answer Ben Bailey’s random assortment of questions better than some of those idiots he picked up on the street. A dream has been crushed! Here’s to hoping they keep airing reruns.
This is G-E-N-I-U-S. Sometimes you just got to love advertising.
Marketing Campaign of the Day: A bicyclist in a sleepy Belgian town couldn’t resist when a giant red button caught his attention — it was just asking to be pushed. The dramatic fallout became TNT’s new ad spot in the country.

Imagination at its finest. I’ll watch this short film over and over again just to hear Caine say “cal-ka-la-ter” (calculator). So creative and imaginative. He is simply amazing. Sometimes I wish I could go back to that age and remember what it was like to be worry-free. When I would go to the arcade on the boardwalk in summertime and play game after game just to get enough tickets to win that cheap little prize that costs less than a dollar to make. Those were the days.

In honor of the Yankees home opener I bring you one of the best baseball movies. Ah yes, Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez. My first crush from one of my favorite childhood movies. It never gets old. Why someone tried to recreate a sub-par sequel I’ll never know.

morning fiasco
Moving into a new apartment is a thrilling process, but naturally it also comes with its woes. This morning was a fiasco. Woke up to bone-chilling ice water. After running the shower for at least 10 minutes, still no warmth. Proceeded with my morning routine sans shower. Flushed toilet and boom flash flood. Water coming out of the bowl all over the floor. No plunger. No mop. No luck. This kind of stuff only happens to me. It gets better. Manuel, my non-existent super, was not answering his cell phone. It was 8am by this point so that’s understandable I suppose. Decided to bang on his apartment door and demand his help for once. However the damage had already been done. I love my life.
In other news. The day did just get better. Not only did I have the most amazing piece of chocolate cake, but I heard through the grapevine that Ron Burgundy himself announced to the world that there will in fact be a sequel to Anchorman. Yes I repeat, there will be a sequel to Anchorman. Score! See for yourself :)
