I'm not even going to try and excuse my complete lack of "blogginess" lately. It's totally lame and I just have my own spazziness to blame.Sorry.
I'm also not going to do some obnoxious catch-up on the past 6 weeks. Nope...I'm just gonna keep on keepin' on (shout out to your Mr. Pugsley!)
Seeing as I can never actually sit still for that long (see mention regarding spazziness above). So what's my latest notion? Well...it's really two things.
Number one - become extraordinary. Normally I'd say this is just me overcompensating, but this time it's TOTALLY for real. The Big O was kind enough to grant me a Green Card (well...at least the dough and resources necessary to get one). So after a little chat with my lawyer, turns out I need to be a little more awesome to qualify (the visa is called Extraordinary Alien - man, don't you just love the titles of these things). So what do I have to do? Thankfully, it doesn't involve creating crop circles (although it's nearly as daunting). In the words of my dear lawyer friend I just need to...
- Win a Cannes Lion
- Get promoted
- Win OTHER awards
- Did I mention a CANNES LION????
UUugggghhhhhh. Seriously, what more can I say about that. All things that are ESSENTIALLY out of my control. So I've been gettin' busy trying to be more rad. I judged the Caples (awesome, hangin' with international CDs from everywhere and anywhere) AND I also judged the Summit Awards (a little less fancy, seeing as it was an excel spreadsheet with urls emailed to me, and I did it at home on my laptop). Whatever...an award show is an award show. AND they need a photo and bio (weeee). Yes, I'm a media whore!
But that only accounts for one strain of spazziness...the second one is a wee bit more academic. You all know (if you know me at all) how much I love taking courses. WELL wouldn't it be cool if you could actually GET something out of all that learning? And Poof...the Masters notion was born.
Tonight I went to an information session at NYU for their MSc (yeah, Rich has one of those, he nearly died when I said that's what the program awarded) in Integrated Marketing. Goood times! It sounded pretty cool. The only drags are
A) it costs a crap load and
B) you have to take this standardized test (a GRE or GMAT to be specific).
We all know I ain't no math genius (hell I can barely spell for Petes sake!) I figured I'd just take one of those prep courses and then BLAMMO after googling that, just GUESS how much it costs??? $1300 FOR REAL! That's practically the cost of one credit of this #@$%^& degree? WOW!!! Apparently I'm in the wrong business!
Anyway, now you're essentially up to date. I'm still spazzing out, still working and still surfing (although I'm thinking it'll start getting pretty cold in the next few weeks).
I'll try to be a little consistent with my posts (I also promise this is the last time I apologize for being crap at posting!)
KEWL BEANS! Good chattin' with you all. Don't worry, more spazziness to come!
