obviously i’m not shy about my obsession with Mad Men. So when I found this site, and it’s profound life advice, I devoured it all in one sitting, and just have to share it with the rest of ya’lls.

or is this really racist?
so i was sitting home, alone, wallowing on christmas day.
between random messages from my ex, and the obligatory call to my family back in boston, i was having my heart ripped out of my chest watching the lakers snap the celtics winning streak.
as the game ended, and i was wiping my tears, i missed a call from my good friend and laker fan joe navran, who, in his usual graciousness, wanted to wish me a merry christmas.

While browsing around the internet I was directed to this website featuring a brand new internet browser, this browser offers something that no other browser does. It’s a browser for the African American population. Now, I’m pretty much one of the whitest people out there, so I can’t pretend to understand issue of race on its full level, but I didn’t realize that the internet needed a new browser specifically for the African American population.
More specifically I’m confused on why this is the job of the browser and not something that could be accomplished by building a website that can be accessed by any browser. I just hope that suburban white high school kids don’t start downloading this in an attempt to boost their “street cred.”
So I haven’t posted here in a really long time. What better time to start up again when I’m selling something! That’s right! I put up some screen printed posters on my new little online store thing. Check it out, tell your friends, and maybe even buy some prints!
in august i shot a short film. my plan was to submit it to film festivals, become wildly famous and inundated with financiers begging to fund my next picture.
obviously, one of my main targets was the sundance film festival. unfortunately, i had only the roughest of rough cuts to submit when the deadline rolled around, so i submitted it as a work in progress. (this sentence is designed to convince myself that this is the reason that i was rejected, thankfully, and i’ve sufficiently convinced myself.)
today i got the rejection letter. and while slightly disappointing, the blow was softened by the ginger, darling caress of the way it was written.
i have no illusions that this is anything but a stock e-mail, but I really appreciate the effort they put into writing it. see for yourself!
so if any of you are planning on breaking up with your girlfriend or boyfriend via e-mail, i highly recommend your using this as a template.
we’ve all been watching this…
