Working in the Advertising industry I find my self sitting at home watching TV and when a commercial comes on I like to critique it. It is very rare that a comercial stands out and I can say “hey that was a great commercial” I was surfing youtube the other day and ran across this video and thought it was pretty cool so I thought I would share.

My submission in the “Submit Your Desk” contest hosted at TheWonderfulNoise.com.

Well here is my desk.

my desk

This was taken shortly after I moved to my new apartment. My workspace actually takes up an entire wall. I guess when you have yes count them 4 monitors on the desk and 3 PCs 1 Mac and a Game cube all running on the same desk one might say its a multi-taskers paradise. Sitting on the desk from left to right a 21 inch Dell LCD then 2 19 inch Samsung LCDs and then the 7 inch LCD in the front.

And There It was

On an average Saturday last weekend I was headed out to take my dog for a walk. What did I find sitting in my parking lot. A Ferrari, It was parked there sparkling there with its majestic beauty. I honestly did not know what it was until I was walking my dog behind it and saw the huge Ferrari Letters across the trunk. I quickly walked into my apartment told my roommate who didn’t believe me and grabbed my camera.

Ferrari 1

Fer 2

You just don’t see a Ferrari parked out side of an average Overland Park Apartment complex on a regular basis.

The Ferrari has more meaning than just a cool car setting in my apartment complex parking lot. First off I lived in Turin which is known for three major things: Movies, Cars, and the 2006 Winter Olympics. Turin might be considered to be the Detroit of Italy. I was able to tour the Museo dell’Automobile and if you ever find your self in Turin (Torino) Italy please stop at the museum its amazing.

The second thing about this car that grabbed my attention was the front license plate. It is from Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. I was able to attend Philmont two times once with my dad and the second with my dad and younger brother. If you are a scout or scout leader I strongly urge you go. It was the best time I have ever had. It was challenging both mentally and physically. It truly tests oneself.

So To end this post look carefully at what is parked in your parking lot. There might be a vintage Ferrari parked out there.

Why Parents Drink

I am not sure why my mother forwarded this email to me however I think it migh be because I am just as honrey as the kid is in this story.  And Yes Mom I remember the time that I hid in the circle rack of cloths at Venture and u had thought I had run off.

A boss wondered why one of his most valued employees had not phoned in sick one day. Having an urgent problem with one of the main computers, he dialed the employee’s home phone number and was greeted with a child’s whisper. Hello.” 

    ”Is your daddy home?” he asked. 

  ”Yes,” whispered the small voice. 

   ” May I talk with him?” 

 The child whispered, “No.”

 Surprised and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, “Is  your Mommy there?”

    ”Yes.” 

  ”May I talk with her?” 

    Again the small voice whispered, “No.”

Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, “Is anybody else there?”  

  ”Yes,” whispered the child, “a policeman! “

 Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee’s home, the boss asked, “May I speak with the policeman?” 

  ”No, he’s busy”, whispered the child.

“Busy doing what?”

 ”Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman,” came the whispered answer. 

   Growing more worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, “What is that noise?” 

“A helicopter” answered the whispering voice.   

 ”What is going on there?” demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive.

 Again, whispering, the child answered, “The search team just landed the helicopter.” 

    Alarmed, concerned and a little frustrated the boss asked, “What Are they searching for?” 

  Still whispering, the young voice replied with a muffled giggle: “ME.”

Ok so I have been watching these to guys do some incredible work. First off there is the guy who owns www.themilliondollarhomepage.com where he has sold 1 million + dollars worth of advertising all to help fund his college education. It started off as what people thought was a scam or maybe even a flop but it worked and now hes rich. The second site is http://oneredpaperclip.blogspot.com/ where this guy started with 1 red paper clip and has traded it for a house. Ok so he didn’t trade it straight across the board. He started off with the red paperclip progressed to many things including a party to go, a snow mobile, a Cintas cube van, a record deal, and finally the house. To see what all he traded for go to his site.
