Granted, I’m still learning about life, business, and the world. But sometimes I think things are done backward. An example of this would be my experience with Groupon. I wasn’t really a fan. So I clicked the ‘unsubscribe’ button on one of their emails, and ended up here: http://www.groupon.com/unsubscribe . In my opinion, this simple ‘sorry to see you go’ site was a better, more entertaining piece of communication than anything else I experienced through them. I would’ve resubscribed based only on this…but then I remembered just how little I cared about any offer they sent my way.

Last year I posted my year-end review from WordPress. This year, they sent another, though it looks a bit different. Figured I’d share it for any who are interested. Happy New Year.

Recently I got an offer for a full-time job. I’m ecstatic. I can finally stop the pattern of moving from one sublet to another every four- to six weeks (as I’ve done the past 9 months) and have a home. Of course, I sold most of what I own before I left Chicago to make the move easier…so I’m moving into an empty apartment. And I’ll have nothing to fill it.

I had an idea for a television show. I know it’s only a matter of time before it actually gets made, so to plant my flag and protect my intellectual property from would-be idea pirates, I thought I’d publish the general premise of the show here on the internet. You’re all considered witnesses now.
Did anybody on the planet see the recent “Smurfs” movie? Or “Garfield” before that? Does it make me a bad person to hope movies lose millions of dollars when they just try to reuse popularity from years ago in hopes that they have a built-in fan base? Am I less of a bad person if I point out that movies like these, “Transformers,” and “Scooby Doo” are riddled with mind-numbing dialogue and lukewarm plot lines?
If you’re going to recycle a children’s fad as a movie, do it the right way. Like “Josie and the Pussycats.”
