THIS IS THE CARD I CREATED TO SEND OUT FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR.

W. Somerset Maugham

"It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it."

The Re-Up

A COMPILATION ALBUM TO PROMOTE EMINEM'S NEW ARTISTS

Pamela's Single

I was channel surfing today when I heard the shocking news: PAMELA ANDERSON FILES FOR DIVORCE. Needless to say I was impressed that her marriage to KID ROCK lasted four months but am disappointed it didn't result in any unauthorized homemade videos being released.

Junkie

Over the past week I have eaten a box of Oreo cookies, a bag of barbeque chips, a $30.00 bag of M&Ms, and any left over Halloween candy I can get my hands on - so if you need to reach me I’ll be at the gym.

Licking

As winter is fast approaching or appears to have arrived I have a piece of advice: buy some chap stick and if you do purchase it, please don't put it in the bag that you don't carry with you and spend the rest of the day licking your lips.

REALLY GREAT CONCEPT & CAMPAIGN CREATED BY THE AD AGENCY TAXI.

Salma

I just watched AFTER THE SUNSET starring PIERCE BROSNAN, WOODY HARRELSON and SALMA HAYEK. The movie was pretty entertaining but what really kept me glued to the screen was SALMA. If you want to see some great assets then I highly recommend this film.

Weird Al Yankovic

I was watching the comedy network a few days ago and saw WEIRD AL'S live performace of AMISH PARADISE. I laughed all the way to the computer and was able to find his parody of LOSE YOURSELF - COUCH POTATO, which was very impressive. I truly believe this guy is a genius.

Swindle

THIS IS AN AWESOME MAGAZINE FROM SHEPARD FAIREY

Ralph Waldo Emerson

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty. to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

Virgin

Sadly this is the first time that I've seen the full live performace of LIKE A VIRGIN. The kiss is impressive but if I were MADONNA I would have laid a longer kiss on CHRISTINA instead of BRITNEY.

Steve Jobs

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Winner

I hooked up with my buddy JAMES on Saturday evening. We had planned to watch CASINO ROYALE but the movie was sold out so we rented THE BREAK-UP instead. The movie was hilarious and didn’t have a typical Hollywood ending and if you ever get a chance, I recommend checking it out.

After the movie JAMES and I played a game of NHL07. It was another thriller, JAMES took an early 3-0 lead but I came back to win 7-6 in overtime. I’m currently leading the season series 4-2 and for some reason more proud of that than anything else I've accomplished this year.

Heck to be honest that’s the only reason I’m writing about that night - just so I could mention the fact I won!

Bruckheimer & Scott

The last film JERRY BRUCKHEIMER (producer) and TONY SCOTT (director) teamed up the result was ENEMY OF THE STATE, a 1998 slick suspense film. Now eight years later their new film DEJA VU starring DENZEL "don't mess with me" WASHINGTON comes out on November 22. Click HERE to view the offical website and trailer.

Kramer

I just saw the offensive and disturbing video of MICHAEL RICHARDS of SEINFELD fame going postal on two hecklers at the LAUGH FACTORY comedy club in HOLLYWOOD. To view the video click HERE and to read his public apology click HERE.

Figure It Out

Erik

Click HERE to view the impress print work of ERIK VERVROEGEN, creative director of TBWA PARIS I just hope one day my body of work will be half as impressive.

Dirty Look

Names

My sister and I have a hate/hate relationship and she claims it’s because of my huge list of nicknames for her.

For the past twenty plus years she has hated the following names: pudgy, biggs, tubby, chubby checks, TC (triple chin), OW (over weighty). chub chub, big poppa, big fella, big boyy, notorious p.i.g, lil fat and piglet.

Now for some reason she thinks of them as insults while I think of think of them as terms of endearment.

Christopher Reeves

"I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles. "

Parody

Now I admit I'm a KANYE WEST fan and I think he's one of the hardest working producers around and right up there with the best of all-time. But even as a fan I can still enjoy this hilarious PARODY by CARLOS MENCIA.

GREAT POSTER CREATED FOR THE HURRICANE POSTER PROJECT.

Bookmark

If you plan on having a career in marketing or plan on starting a business any time soon then I recommend you read THE LITTLE RED BOOK OF SELLING by JEFFREY GITOMER and GETTING EVERYTHING YOU CAN OUT OF ALL YOU'VE GOT by JAY ABRAHAM.

Jacques Plante

"How would you like a job where when you made a mistake, a big red light goes on and 18,000 people boo?"

Punjabi

I've seen some great dancing in my day but this guy takes the cake. I've never seen someone so big dance so poetically and his final move is jaw dropping. Check out this VIDEO.

Theposterlist.com

I LOVE THIS SIMPLE AND CREATIVE POSTER SITE.

Stuck

I was walking by a store the other day when I heard AKON'S hit single SMACK THAT playing and that song has been stuck in my head ever since, heck that’s all I've been humming since I started typing this post.

Helen Keller

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."

Lemon

I was walking around at CHAPTERS the other day and came across this awesome new magazine called LEMON. It’s produced by the same guys that created GUM. The twice annually published magazine isn't as cleverly packaged as GUM but it is visually stunning and definitely worth a look.

Ivanka Trump

THE DONALD FINALLY MADE SOMETHING I WANT TO BUY.

Magic

Check out this VIDEO of cool majic tricks - personally I love the stuff this guy can do with money. Thanks to JAMES for the link.

Aries Spears

If you love spot on impersonations like I do then you really should check out this VIDEO. ARIES SPEARS does an awesome PACINO, DENIRO, STALLON, SNOOP DOGG, AND JAY-Z on DEF JAM COMEDY.

Departed

Yesterday afternoon I saw THE DEPARTED with JAMES. Overall I give the movie four stars. It featured all-star performances from LEONARDO DICAPRIO, JACK NICHOLSON and MATT DAMON. It also had some wicked one-liners and some really great suspense scenes. The film also had a great non-typical Hollywood bang-bang (literally) ending. Check it out in theatres or when it comes out on DVD.
