Web 2.0: I Submit.

music: Sound of my shitty hotel's dying AC
mood: Categorizing your mood is for 12 steppers.

Its been a long time since I posted on this, college to be precise. Zoom to now. So I am an "Internet Marketing Professional" which apparently takes no skill, a little common sense and just enough drive to impress people that have no clue what you do with useless buzzwords and stats. Or maybe I am just such an elitist and rock so hard that I can't imagine how easy this crap is. Doubtful.


I am currently at a conference where potential vendors pump you full of information about services that are exactly the same as the next guy's just with a different cute little meaningless photoshop trendy agency logo. And I listen to these people... or pretend to as im checking out the bleached blonde girls from that startup San Jose firm flaunting tanned legs 2 booths over who are selling a goddamn e-commerce platform somehow... which I would seriously consider going with if their "customer service" matches the marketing. Anyways, I guess I don't really listen to what 95% of these vendors say, I'm just talking to them to get a "gotta-talk-to-em-all" pokemon-like sticker to complete my entry form for the free Caddy CTS. That fucker is mine BTW and if someone else wins it hes getting a wobbly conference chair to the back of the dome and im stealing the keys.


For being such an internet junkie and having a career that only encourages it, you would think I would be a facebook, myspace, twitter, linked in, digging, del.ico.us fan and advocate. Well to be honest I've resisted for a while and I broke down. Im joining the ranks of the social media army, which may ultimately lead to an abrupt end to my career if im not careful... but whatever, whats the fun in that? Its finally gotten to me. So I guess consider this the beginning of my entry into the "blogosphere"... God that is so fucking lame. Maybe I will write about that later... screw it, I sense AYS will become more of a "rantosphere" as far as I am concerned. Who knows. Anyways, im out of enegry for this half assed commitment for now.

Inspiration?

music: Nine Inch Nails - Starfuckers, Inc.
mood: Content

So after helping people setup their daily web2.0 apps over the past months, I've dabbled with the idea of getting back into doing mine since well.. why the hell not.

I haven't blogged in probably 3 years or so and I will be determined to not make this one a complete boring sack of ass. It will be clean cut and get straight to the good stuff (bad stuff) to keep the ADD kids happy.

Here we go:
In: Perkins Eastman | Out: Geek Squad
In: Arlington | Out: Manassas
In: Twitter | Out: Facebook Status
In: Pendulum | Out: Amy Winehouse
In: Hookers and blow | Out: Your face.

I am in the process of starting a new project that involves my love of food and my ability to create words that confuse people into wanting more.

Lastly, you should all check out Muxtape.com because it probably won't be around for much longer and its quite amusing to see how awful people's taste in music is. I love it. There is also the Last.FM Playlist down at the bottom left. If you click the big Play button, it will shuffle the songs and play the full versions but if you select one, it only gives you a 30 second clip.. I have no idea why. I will be updating that playlist on a weeky/bi-weekly basis with whatever songs I have been listening to the most of and think you should fuckin' hear.

(It also took me like 45 minutes to hack up last.fm's embed tags to make it fit properly on my site without looking like shit, hooray crap html skills)
