I’ve mentioned over and over my struggle with disconnecting. Removing myself, if only for a few moments, from the online world and allowing myself to experience the world that’s actually around me — instead of viewing the world from my iPhone portal.
In a lot of ways I think it’s been a defensive mechanism to moving [...]
When I was in third grade, I was in a performance called “When I Grow Up….” and while I’d like to say that I got to pick my ensemble for the concert (which at the time would have been a glamorous movie star with a big feather boa and sparkly jewelry….okay who am I kidding, [...]
There used to be a time when you could break up with someone, and you could keep it under wraps while you deal with the emotional side and heal privately. You got to chose when you told friends, and not them finding out before you (because your significant other clicked “cancel relationship” on Facebook to [...]
I’ll admit, I’m mostly a Craigslist hater. It just always seemed so shady, and every experience whether it was selling furniture (like my bed which is probably one of the saddest stories you’ve ever heard so I’ll spare you the details) or looking for roommates, it was just always….well subpar.
When I moved to New York, [...]
It’s hard to go anywhere without being inundated with placards, posters, t-shirts or signs that proudly proclaim on business storefronts “follow me on twitter.” Just seems a little too passive and a lot too vain for me.
As a social media marketer, believe me, I get it. There is perceived value to the number of followers/fans that [...]
After attending my first official New York City Social Media Mixer last night (Digital Somethings at Roger Smith Hotel), it got me thinking – I’m really bad at meeting people.
It’s not that I don’t engage. It’s not that I don’t have conversations, or feel a connection with a lot of wonderful people at social functions. [...]
Sometimes I get to a point where I can’t clear my head, and it effects every part of my life. It prevents me from sleeping. Eating. Laughing. Learning. Growing. Thinking. Even makes me have trouble breathing as more and more e-mails/DMs/IMs/texts/voicemails go unchecked. Information overload to the MAX.
I’ve reached this point before, but unfortunately last [...]
So as I mentioned to you a few weeks ago, that I was taking a position with Digitas in New York and I’m happy to say that I started this Tuesday as a Senior Associate working on some incredible consumer brands, that I’m super jazzed about.
This is more specifically exciting for a few reasons:
I get [...]
I’ve always loved the idea of New Year’s. It’s your chance to wipe your life clean, and resolve to start fresh and shake things up with a new diet plan or gym regiment. I love new years because of the hope that it provides, and the idea that we as people can evolve and change. [...]
Last night, Seattle’s 107.7 The End’s twitter account stepped into what I’d consider unforgiveable territory, they profiled and discriminated.
But it wasn’t just that tweet. They argued back and forth with their followers about their beliefs. Here’s more of the conversation:
The station claims their account was hacked, and they do not agree with the sentiments, and [...]
