Move over Mustaches!

The mustache is making a huge comeback these days and im not completely opposed to it. As a matter of fact im actually sporting a a semi-stache right now...its for the halloween costume. But this recent trend boom has left the me feeling sorry for the true sign of masculinity...the beard. So hears to you, men with beards. I honor you.

Prop 8 Doesn't = Hate



So a lot of people are posting about prop 8 right now so I thought I would jump on the band wagon. So here's the thing I have many close friends that chosen to live an alternate life style. I have never looked at them or treated them different. As a matter of fact I feel as though they are some of the most genuine people I know. Due to this prop 8 frenzy I have heard a lot of negative things said by BOTH parties and I just dont get it. Why do differences in people always lead to hate or slanders? I understand that we all have different opinions and lifestyles but why does that have to come between us?

This whole prop 8 conversation has really caused me to look at my views on my own life and those around me. While I understand what voting YES on prop 8 stands for I also feel as though we should allow people to live the way they chose. I feel as though we are dictating the kinds of lives people need to live in order to be considered normal. I know this comes as a surprise to some, but I have quite moderate views when it comes to politics and a major part of me is all about letting the individual chose for themselves. Its their lives. How often do we want to be left alone in making decisions that make us happy.

Now Im not writing this to get a ton of responses (that would have to constitute in people even reading my blog period) that are driven towards educating me on the situation and future repercussions if the majority votes NO on prop 8. I am well aware of what is being "speculated" of what is to come. I write this to let everyone know that there has been a clarion call by the prophet to stand up for the traditional family and vote yes on prop 8 and I intend to answer that call.

The point of this blog was to illustrate the fact that just because I believe in the traditional family, its values, and all that the FAMILY PROCLAMATION stands for, I do not hate nor see the reason to cut down others lifestyles and choices. I really wish the best for everyone and their lives pursuits. This is how life is and is going to be as long as we are here, so lets put away the swords and daggers and work towards a better life for everyone.


*I never get preachy or spiritual this was a really weird blog post for me but it has been on my mind a lot. Feel free to tease and make fun of me.*

Concrete Jungle



A few of us were lucky enough to go to NYC for a week to attend advertising week. It was such a fantastic week. The seminars we went to were alright, nothing too fantastic, but the agencies, McCann Ericson, Wonderman, Renegade, Naked and Wieden Kennedy, were amazing! I learned so much about the industry and what type of agency atmosphere i could see myself in. There is just so much we did and didnt do, but it was the trip of my life. Enjoy!
