I have ADD so bear with me, back to the economy stupid, George Clooney is superb as the terminator in the nation of cap-and-trade downsizing our employment base for the greater globe,  in a land where the california smelt trumps feeding the california immigrant workers and farming community, Clooney is perfect as the perk junkie addicted to frequent flying having travel down so much that arriving at his destination looks cooler than life in a Hal Riney spot directed by michael bay (its morning in america).   which makes for the perfect set up like Harry Reid trying to hug Nancy Pelosi ,,,,,,it just becomes uncomfortable we find out that he is the smoothest terminator of a firm that comes in and downsizes companies and making it as cool as Obama made trashing private aviation.   But our protagonist faces the iPhone generation and meets his Nemesis who takes the personalization from business communication face to face and suggests no more travel and no more face to face firing because like talking to a real doctor all you need is a screen with a nurse on the end.

the metaphors are unbelievable the girl who initiates the termination via video conference has a fiance who called off her wedding with a text …our hero who has been a slut for the perks of traveling all the time downsizing and moving our workforce offshore uses his travel as his “high” his distraction of the obvious and as do numb himself from the personalization of firing the rust belt the auto industry, the oil and gas employees he is gratified to have perks like eating carrots imported from china,

at the end of the day this movie has a left turn about jobs in america and Reitman slaps us with a growing company niche of downsizing

Cameron has such a knack for tying the ramifications of todays ignored situations and showing us the results,   Like todays’ government run VA hospital’s our protagonist Sully’s (i.e. birther, global warming skeptic, all around and dumb marine because he is military and not raise in a blue state so thus capable to have opinion) was apparently in a war in Venezuela and lost the use of his legs and his government-run health care’s protocol did not allow his legs to be restored there is a great back-handed slap saying only the rich people left in america’ alluding to the Cadillac plans the general motor’s UAW extracted from Potus or a member of Congress had the coverage for those kinds of elite procedures.

Forward  to the year 2514 where the lines between government health care baking and transportation are all under the same roof literally and again the corporataztion of the green moment has morphed into corporate greed faster than   Al Gore’s 2514 dollar handshake.  So the government greeners are looking to force an alternative energy policy onto a perfect utopian society where they are allowed to take energy from there natural resources in a culture  more primitive than  Oklahoma even they even give you a  firearms safety program taught my hotties that is so good  the NRA should take this concept viral.

the society is rocking along with its little free markets and natural resources and there are good animals and bad animals and a duck’s unlimited philosophy of saving the species they are quite primitive though if they kill it they grill it.  this primitive society was founded much like the united states all are free to worship and connect to there belief in a higher power and when the scientists on board the alternative settled sciencers mothership like hacked emails off of a soviet server they even become enlightened.  But the society stands up to this global governance force energy and rationed health care because you can only get good legs again like if you move to Nebraska in fact they try to force the society from there Nantucket to and like bobby kennedy jr saying no to wind farms off martha’s vineyard  the show courage not to let government run there  backyard

I hope this new year will bring the marketing departments of companies nation wide to start moving again.

I hope consumer confidence will get people traveling and purchasing again that no more staycations are in our midst.

peace and blessing

David Goetzl writes on the top time shifting trends with some interesting data

A mass amount of viewers of AMC’s “Mad Men” watched it in time-shifted mode. But the 58% increase in DVR-enabled viewership on average did not make it the most time-shifted show so far this year.

Some Friends came to my studio wanting to christmas portraits and even i had my professioanal jag on caught myself and shut down and shut up and what proceeded was truly magical.

The Portraits where for Women and there children from a Center for Domestic Violence, And the courage of the women and these kids that wanted to do this photography was simply amazing, with out the worry of the medium the message was so beautiful to watch, i relegated myself to just stand back and sit in the bleachers and the courage these women had to face just to get hair and make up done and to get in front of a camera took all they could muster which is in stark contrast of stituations i have been where people race to the camera want to direct the camera and be in front of the camera it brought to focus what one art director told me after shooting a national commercial when i asked him what he thought he said that well maybe it will be good enough so people don’t change there channel.

So Again the favor of using my studio was such a blessing for me in this holiday moment of how lucky we are.

You are more than your virtual identity
«Virtual life» is an – often – abused term used to describe the whole of one person online activities. But as media communications let our second/online/offline identities overflowing into real life – and vice-versa – the distinctions between the real and the virtual are becoming, more and more confused. Which is virtual? And where’s the real? Beyond all those questions only a fact remains: that our privacy, our profiles, our identities, our relationships, they are all – fake and/or real – entirely exploited for a sole purpose: to be sold as a product. But are those lives really worth to be experienced?

Pass away. Leave your ID behind.
Rather than fall into the hands of their enemies, ancient japanese samurai preferred to die with honor, voluntarily plunging a sword into the abdomen and moving the sword left to right in a slicing motion. The name of this form of ritual suicide is Seppuku (切腹, “stomach-cutting”). Among the important people who committed seppuku there are Azai Nagamasa, forty-six of the Forty-seven Ronin (1703), Takijirō Ōnishi , and, of course, Luther Blissett.
As the Seppuku restores samurai’s honor as a warrior, in the same way, Seppukoo.com deals with the liberation of the digital body from any identity constriction in order to help people discover what happens after their virtual life and to rediscover the importance of being anyone, instead of pretending to be someone.
Hacking and parasiting one of the most popular social networking website, Seppukoo.com deactivates one’s user facebook account, driving people into one of the most radical chic user-experience: the vir(tu)al suicide.
Suicide networking. Infecting the social.
As viral marketing strategies have been exploited by corporate media to make profit connecting people all over the world, Seppukoo playfully attempts to subvert this mechanism disconnecting people from each other and transforming the individual suicide experience into an exciting”social” experience.
With Seppukoo in fact it’s not important how many friends you have, but how much you may influence them. Induce your friends to commit suicide and rise up the Seppukoo Rank!

Resurrections. There’s no death where there’s no life.
Suicide is a free choice and a kind of self-assertiveness. Unfortunately, Facebook doesn’t give to its users this faculty at all, and your account will be only deactivated. This means that any information regarding you and your friends, will be strictly preserved by facebook authorities in order to keep your virtual life alive for the eternity.
That’s why you won’t need any superpower to come back to your virtual life after death: just a simple login, and your life will be completely restore back.
Still hesitating? Let yourself be conquered by Seppukoo as you have an honour to save yet!
Don’t waste this opportunity.
