advertise this!

I was thinking today about what I should do with my advertising degree. I am really in to the prospect of design more specifically web design but I don't thing my schooling will cover much of that. I am also facing the challenege that I want to believe in that which I will be advertising. I don't really want to advertise soda, or fast food, or sell an image that makes people doubt themselves. Rachel was talking the other day about how she hopes that someday we can open our own public relations and advertising firm. She talks about the fact that she thinks she could do all the things being done at her work this summer. That would be preferable. I would love to work from home and entertain clients. However, I also realize the importance of experience and will probably need to prove myself before such a venture. Could you imagine? I would love to make a comfortable living so that we could do pro bono work for non-profits or other charities and organizations we believe in. We will see.

I think my sense of humor fell out of the car and was run over twice. I am noticing the complete lack of humor in what I have to say, yet humor is something I value a lot in life. Everything is so serious. When I reread what I post I bore myself and that ain't good. I notice the blogs I like most include quirky, rediculous events that happens in one's daily life. Stuff that isn't innately funny until you make it that way. This ,big picture, meaning of life stuff is truly a drag. I thought college and living on my own would loosen me up I've grown more uptight save going to a foam party and actually dancing. Who the hell saw that coming. While I may never be innovative enough to think up "nutcam" (that's for you kim), I need to walk the fine line of fun-loving and responsible, being careful not to lean too far one way or the other until I fall on my face. It always comes down to balance. If I were to ever tattoo a word on myself it would be balance.
