Effect & Cause

Wow, the middle of June has come and I am amazed that we are halfway
through the year.I am amazed that I haven’t written since May 23rd.
My last entry was talking about the expectation of the new White Stripes album.
It was released (officially) today – all I can say is “Simply Amazing”.
They are superstars. I have listened to the CD three times through and
have not gotten bored at all. Could this be their “Color & the Shape”?
Anyways, I cannot recommend this album enough. GO GET IT!!!

Work has been draining lately. We had a HUGE pitch last week, in which
it took the whole company to get involved in it. We will find out this
week what the result is. On top of that, one of the clients I handle –
Yamaha, is in the middle of deciding on their entire 2008 campaign
(2 Brochures, POP, Advertising, Commercials, EVERYTHING).
Needless to say, I am a busy boy.

So busy, that I lost one of my freelance clients. Major Bummer!!!
I need to go through my client / potential client list and make some calls.

The new car is (still) awesome. I enjoy driving it everyday. This weekend
will be the first road trip in the new ride. Going to The Police / Foo Fighters
show at Dodger Stadium on Saturday. LA is always such a blast. Maybe go
up early, do some shopping, etc. This is the first in many summer concerts –
Police / Foo, Chris Cornell, Less than Jake, Rock the Bells w/ RATM,
The White Stripes…

Since I have been making work a HUGE priority, not much social time.
I am single (again) and actually okay with it. Dating is always fun &
I look forward to it. The flirting, the meeting new people, the socializing –
all of it is good. Met a few nice girls that seem to want the same thing.

Since my last entry, there was the annual Memorial Day BBQ & Croquette
tournament at the Compound. Chuckles dominated the weak field to crush all
that opposed him. Actually, Chazz was a close 2nd but had to leave to hang out
with his new chick.
