Elizabeth Warren, rising.

I generally can't stand the battle that always seems to rage between good and evil (or democratic and republican or however you look at it) but you absolutely have to watch this video of Elizabeth Warren. I don't know how anyone, including fuckheads like Rush Limbaugh, don't see the crystal clear fairness of this. Watch it here.

FiOS line, by FEiGENSON

You may have seen (or been annoyed by) the line "FiOS, A NETWORK AHEAD" in about a bazillion places over the last few months. TV, Print, Web, I even saw a freakin' Cessna 5,000 feet in the air dragging a huge banner with those very words. I wrote it (along with about 375 other Verizon lines) when I worked at McGarryBowen in 2010. Then I left. Then Verizon bought it. Funny how that works. It's my fourth 'famous' tagline in this thing I'll call a career. Maybe I'll dig up the others and post 'em. Maybe you'll remember being annoyed by those too.

Have you even heard the word 'blog' lately?

It's been a while. 11 months actually. I used to post on this thing fairly frequently, then less frequently, then never. But then, as Facebook and Twitter have taken over the world, blogs have become so two years ago. I will say though, yesterday I snooped through some older entries I wrote and I miss the useless entertainment. Unfortunately, a lot of the older links are no longer valid, and I don't have the time or patience to go in and re-route them. Anyway, here's a pic of a recent acquisition, and one of the many things I've been busy with in the past year; 17 inches of beautiful, sexy, two-toned tin. You will not see another one of these 50-year-old cream puffs for a long time. Maybe not even until my next post.

Droid2, in stores now.

A nice little spot I wrote that'll run in the Verizon stores until it's outed by whatever's next.

Holy S*%t

I guess I've always been a closet James Cameron fan, I really don't know. I thought Terminator (well, T1 & T2) were just terrific. And Titanic was not exactly a bad movie if you have a pulse and even the tiniest place in your heart for history. My expectations for Avatar were low, even with all the hype. But it turned out to be one of the most exciting, most moving movies I've seen in recent memory. Okay, the story itself is pretty tired, but who cares? Most pop music uses the same four annoying chords, and people still get all goo goo ga ga over new songs. Would you have wanted some complex, convoluted plotline like in Lost or Twin Peaks? Half the people who watched them never understood what the fuck was going on. For a movie that was marketed to the masses, it's hard to argue with Avatar. The story was genuine, it had more than its share of unique twists, and the effects and realism were beyond phenomenal. I found myself talking about the movie for days afterwards, and while I'm not going to go kill myself (as someone who saw the movie actually did) it is indeed a place I would want to visit and maybe never come back. I can't recommend this movie enough.
