OK, I’m not sure if I could pull off this look, but these canvas messenger bags are freakin’ awesome.
They were available at superherostore.com, but they’ve since sold out.
In the event that they do become available again, I’ll probably buy all three. They were listed at $29.99 at the time.
Sorry, but I felt the need to write these down. Oh sure, I don’t know the capitals of all 50 states, but I’ve got my jingles memorized. You have to admit that as far as marketing goes, these jingles were money well spent.
They say a man should always dress for the job he wants,
So why am I dressed up like a pirate in this restaurant.
It’s all because some hacker stole my identity.
Now I’m in here every evening serving chowder and iced tea.
Should have gone to freecreditreport.com (yee-hah!)
I could have seen this coming at me like an atom bomb.
They monitor your credit and send you e-mail alerts.
So you don,t end up selling fish to tourists in t-shirts.
Well I married my dream girl, I married my dream girl,
but she didn’t tell me her credit was bad,
so now instead of living in a pleasant suburb,
we’re living in the basement at her mom and dad’s
No we can’t get a loan, for a respectable home,
just because my girl defaulted on some old credit card,
if we’d gone to FreeCreditReport.com,
I’d be a happy bachelor with a dog and a yard
Well I was shopping for a new car, which one’s me
A cool convertible or an SUV
Too bad I didn’t know my credit was whack
cause now I’m driving off the lot in a used subcompact
f-r-e-e that spells free
credit report dot com baby
Saw their ads on my TV
Thought about going but was too lazy
Now instead of looking fly and rolling phat
my legs are sticking to the vinyl
and my posse’s getting laughed at
f-r-e-e that spells free
credit report dot com baby
So check out my new lunch box, which will be replacing the old Godzilla-themed pack that I’ve been using since FOREVER.
I’ve had my first meeting with the new Publisher at The Star and my first impression is quite favorable. He obviously wants us to be more nimble/quick to market, but that makes sense when you consider the pressures that the journalism industry is facing today. He’s tough - but fair - and my spidey sense telling me that he’s going to be a great long-term leader for this organization.
As for whether I’m a director, a VP, etc … it doesn’t really matter because the mission is still the same - to help The Star expand and solidify it’s digital presence to insure that the great people of the city of Indianapolis will be served.
In the end, titles are really about money, and The Star has always been fair to me.
Marvel.com is looking for a Senior Producer / Product Manager, and it might be a good fit for me. It’s a management position (ten people) with a lot of responsibility/accountability - and it sounds like a blast. I’d definitely like to talk to someone there to get a better idea of the day-to-day responsibilities involved to see if I would enjoy it.
The toughest part is just getting an actual interview with Marvel, who I’m sure will receive a veritable boatload of applicants. The question I would ask though is how many have my ambition, drive, sense of humor and incredible people skills. Gosh, I’m so humble right now, aren’t I. Look, if I can make friends with a mugger, surely that demonstrated I have people skills, right? For those of you who don’t know me, I once took a mugger to dinner. Seemed like a better idea than getting killed.
Plus, I need to shake things up in my life and I need a new challenge other than journalism. Don’t get me wrong, things here in I&D are exciting, but if I had my druthers, I’d move to NYC in a heartbeat. I’m sure it would take some work to see the wizzife on the idea, but I think she could be talked into it.
Plus, I could probably save money on comics.
OK, off the soapbox.
