Choosing Not to Speak

Someone once told me that in order to get something done, "you have to put a Nike sign on it and just do it". So in effort to follow one of the greatest ad campaigns ever, Im just doing it.I got my first freelance job developing copy (advertisement) for a marketing agency. Yes I am scared as shit.

As I've said many times before, I started this blog to work on my writing, and to develop the ability to write long copy ( or long pieces of advertising). My educational background is in business -marketing and finance- not writing. Yet being that I go to a technical school, we focus on the analytic side of things, and less on the creative. This can be seen as a set back for an aspiring copywriter. However, I am not one to let silly impediments such as "writing" get in the way of me achieving my ultimate goal. What is that goal you ask? Its simple really, I am going to become the black Eddie Bernays.

[ for those of you who don't know who Eddie Bernays is, go get a clean sock, get but naked, and press play (below). You will find that this man - the nephew of Sigmund Freud- was ingenious. Evil. But absolutely brilliant none-the-less. He reminds me of a fucked up version of G from Holy man ]



One may ask why I have this desire to control the masses through propaganda, and ballyhoo? I have a simple answer for that as well. I hate to be controlled. I'd rather give up my morality and drink the blood of iron deficient children in Cambodia, than be controlled by the media (By the way there is this new app for the I-phone called Twitterfon. Ridiculous!). The media is so powerful that I don't think I can avoid it unless I become a total recluse, and I don't plan on missing an episode of Mad Men or Trust Me for any sanctity for my soul, the opportunity cost is to vast.Which for me is unfortunate, therefore, I say if you can't beat em, join em.

So yea, after I finish my whole bid to take over the world through advertisement, I plan to go to Jupiter and build an ice hotel on its rings. It will be called: Since when did Jupiter have ice rings?
