Updates

So lately I have been getting razzed by a few friends bc I dont update my blog as much as I used to. I understand their frustration and appreciate their dire need for my witty commentary, but here is the thing my blog is a mix between personal experiences and stories and cool and interesting things I or others have done creatively. My buddy Andrew Garlock has mastered this mix blogging art, leaning more towards the latter part of my criteria. But I will say I appreciate his blog and hope to soon have mine up to par with his, obviously keeping true to myself and my interest. Please check it out here Andrews Blog.
Lastly I hate it when people don't leave comments. If you visit a blog and read a post leave a comment. It not only helps the blog your reading but also gets your name out there as well, thus creating more visitors to your site. Its simple blog etiquette and something that really gets to me. I know you read it so make a comment. Having said that I know that I am not the best at updating and have lost a lot of readership bc of that but feel as though this should be said not just for my blog but all blogs out there. I jokingly give people a hard time about it, but its kinda true. I still love you, kinda... don't take that to the bank.

So here is my pledge for those friends that have vented their frustration. I will do my best to update my blog once a week if not more. This is not only good for me but hope it fulfills your cravings for my word vomit.

Here's to Life

So for the past two weks Mike Morris, Billy Reano, Tommy Currit and myself have been clocking in countless all night hours to creating the most amazing TV commercials for the Utah Tap Project. I have blogged about this before but in a nut shell the Tap Project is a campaign put on by UNICEF that asks patrons at participating restaurants to donate a dollar for the tap water they would normally get for free. 100% of the proceeds go to providing water for third world countries and saving thousands of children's lives. Of all the things I have ever been apart of I feel most proud and satisfied with these spots. Congrats to everyone who was apart of this. Mike your skills are inspiring and I love you. We have seen this all the way through and I think its something we can all be so proud of. Here's to your guys. p.s. Shout out to Logan Tanner for the amazing copy in all the spots. He is the man

Is he Serious!!!

Joaquin Is out of control!! You have to watch this. I was uncomfortable the entire time. Its hilarious but its one of those funny moments where your waiting for him to be like...ha just joking guys. LOL this guy is crazy!

Funnies EVER!!

Recently I have been looking at some of the work of the agencies I would love to intern at over the summer. I recently stubbled upon these hilarious gems done by DDB. I don't know how old these are but I think they are pure genius. I haven't seen something this fresh and original in a while. They were aired in Germany for a time and then were pulled from the stations so the consumers would search them out via the web. I hope you enjoy them, excuse the language for those it would offend... those Europeans.





To see others like Pulp Fiction, The Shinning, and Titanic go to DDB's website or check them out on YouTube. The mentioned ones I believe were made specifically for DDB and VW. enjoy!

Ode to Zune

Well they're hitting their demographic at least.


You tried so hard to be so hip and so cool but the reality is your just a clunky awkward tool.
The time has come to throw in the towel, just be a man you machine so foul.
Keep your head up high you had some great features, like sharing music with all 10 other Zune creatures.
Don't be ashamed its not completely your bad, it's just compaired to the iPod your clueless and sad.
You know the boy who gets picked last at school in the gym, hate to break it to you, thats you, your him.
Christmas' when you would be open with glee were the fake expression of kids who really just have to pee.
I'm sorry to break it to you so honest and mean, this is suppose to be a celebration to an inferior machine.
So here's to you my wannabe friend, for sticking it out to the short, unsuccessful end.
Maybe there's a comeback some time soon, but let me save you from looking like a failed baboon.
Keep it in the warehouse all dusty and dark, and think of something original with a little bit of spark.
Adios bulky Zune you fought a good fight, you can go down with a smile knowing you gave it all of your might.

Dance Dance Revolution: Eyebrow RemiX

Enjoy the pure rhythmic sensation!!!

Up and Running

For those who havent heard from me yet, my website, cpr-design, is up and running. It is my first time coding with XHTML and styling with CSS so go easy.

Its a small sample of my work that already needs to be updated and better laid out. As a matter of fact I already hate it and am doing a redesign right now, so bookmark it and check up on it whenever you get the time. This is what I am going to be doing for the rest of my life so those of you who feel a part of my life enjoy it, comment on it, give advice or feed back.

Have fun!
