The Foot Has Officially Entered The Door

After years of wanting and trying to successfully break into freelance design in PDX, I have finally done it! O.k., so maybe I have not tried as hard as I should have. And maybe I was a tad bit scared of succeeding. And maybe I did not push myself as much as I wanted and needed to. But no more! Nope. Never again, because it is not such a scary place after all. In fact, it is fun, and thrilling, and productive, and just plain awesomeness all around. So yes, I am declaring it so: "The foot has officially entered the door" and man does it feel good.

What Do You Wish Would Happen By The End Of The Day?

On the ever elusive search for a creative job, one always stumbles upon Weiden + Kennedy. To some, it is the creme de la creme of advertising design. A place, which if ever you could break into, would foster the greatest ability and mind, set you on your way for life and allow you to have a little fun while doing it. I thrive for an environment such as that. I dream of the day when I not only get to walk into one of their many offices world wide, but get to walk in as a payed designer working on some of the raddest campaigns known to man. Yes, I have decided that a job at Weiden + Kennedy is what I am after. And when I want something, I get it. This is no exception. Give me a few months, and I will be there!!!

The video below was something I recently found on the New York's office blog. It raises an interesting question that I think most of us do not even think about throughout are mundane and repetitive days, "What do you wish would happen by the end of the day?" Towards the end, a dude poses the idea of thinking that in the morning for what you would like to happen. Wishing is irrelevant. Doing is everything. I think I might take that to heart! Enjoy.
