Ogilvy on spec work: “We have prepared nothing. Instead we would like you to tell us about your problems. Then you can visit the other four agencies on your list. They have all prepared speculative campaigns. If you like any of them, your choice will be easy. If you don’t, come back and hire us. We will then embark on the research which always precedes the preparation of advertisements at our agency.”

If eternal return is the heaviest of burdens, then our lives can stand out against it in all their splendid lightness.

Just watched “Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening” last night. So good.

I can’t eat peanuts I don’t have teeth!

Strolling into the Windward Farms market, I was approached by a hungry homeless man. When I told him I had no cash, he asked me to pick him up some bread and bologna. How strange. The place doesn’t sell sandwiches, so I bought a bag of trail mix for him. I handed it to him and he promptly replied, “I can’t eat peanuts; I don’t have teeth!” He lifted up his top lip to show off his toothless gums. “There’s a store right there that sells sandwiches”. “That’s mexican food, sir”. “Right past it. It’s a market”. I couldn’t back out now, so I caved in. I walked across the street with him and let him have a small shopping spree. He ended up with a big pack of hot dogs, a block of cheese, and some baked potato chips. He wished me a Merry Christmas and ran off, leaving me standing on the corner with the bag of trail mix.

2009 seemed to have gone by so quickly for me. Time started flying the second Use All Five was founded. It’s difficult to step back and think about how much myself, and the company has grown in the small amount of time. I’ve decided that I need to take the time to get back to posting my thoughts, stories, inspiration, photography, design, and anything else that I stumble upon. I haven’t posted since 2008, so I decided to put together a list of what I’ve been up to this past year.

This year I:

Moved to the beach
Reunited with my father in Australia
Ate meat for the first time in over a year
Gave my mother away in her Vegas wedding
Started a family of plants
Finished “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” in a week
Managed to get everybody I know obsessed with “It’s Always Sunny”
Was so happy Rachel found my long lost 35mm camera
Designed a record cover
Actually thought Pete Campbell became a strong and likable character
Learned about Michael Jackson’s death over twitter
Went to Lacma 5+ times, Moca twice, Moma, and Legoland (childhood nostalgia)
Watched every major Tarantino film
And I started to follow basketball
