one of my favorite ads ever.
just thought i'd share.
so you don't have to zoom in, the red box says "4x4" and in the grey one "explore"
snap!

i don't believe it.

this week on 60 minutes i saw something that i have never really seen before and wouldn't believe it if you told me. i don't know if you would believe me if i told you.

what if i told you i saw someone that wasn't able to button their shirt, wasn't able to go to the bathroom on their own, blind, couldn't dress themselves, couldn't tell you what shape they were holding (couldn't tell the difference between a circle and a square), could not carry on a conversation, could not hold up 3 fingers...

but could probably be the best musician you had ever heard or saw? could play ever song they had ever heard on the piano. could play songs in different styles. could copy the sound of say ten piano keys pressed simultaneously.

i was completely...... floored! incredible.

mike falcone. harrison ford. mike falcone. harrison ford. harrison ford. mike falcone. which ones which?

it just never registered until the other night.
not so much in the picture below cause we all know harrison can't touch his elbow with his tongue (apparently it's impossible....which is nothing) but theres definitely a resemblance here. no?

impossible IS nothing

so i was watching the news today and there was a segment on funny facts. ONE of them was that it was impossible to lick ones own elbow. are you kidding me? (listen to me, haha like i can do it) i CAN'T do it. but i have witnessed it. here's your fact, BUSTED!

mike falcone. summer 2003. burn!

i've been trying to contact the reporter on the story but have had no luck as of yet.

my profession is becoming obsolete

hire some agency for thousands of dollars OR use the (drum roll)...

The Ad Concepter

no, really?

happy (canadian) thanksgiving.
yes. really.

"driving in reverse, dumb!" the non-driver

hmmmm. my first reaction was "what a dumb...... car." i really don't know how i feel about it. i understand what their trying to accomplish; it's kind of an exaggeration of those rear bumper detectors that let you know when you're too close to something. but i didn't think that driving backwards was such an issue. i understand the urge to make everything easier and don't doubt the "fully" automatic car is on the way but yeah, i don't know about this. i like the idea of the low emissions and the interior blindspot screens but i really find the 360 mobility redundant. can't back up into spots? can't back out of the driveway? i got news for you - you shouldn't be driving. period. blah!

i would much prefer a 2001 2 door volkswagen golf tdi. with low kilometres. and a p flo filter. and monster mats would be nice.

i shot chewbacca in the nuts

the last few nights i have been having a hard time sleeping. but when i finally do fall asleep, my dreams have been, amusing. last night i guess i was some sort of jedi. i was in a group of about 8 other people under command by this chick. i think it was barbara walters. basically, barbara (haha), turned us over to someother chick cause she was fed up or tired or something. for whatever reason she didn't want to be our boss and i guess the other group were our rivals. for some reason we thought they were going to kill us anyway. so we decided to retaliate. by the way, this whole thing took place in a super walmart. so there was a fight between our group and the group that we were turned over to, in this walmart, with a ton of people around, doing their own thing, casually dodging fire. it was pretty hilarious now that i think of that part. the guns we had shot balls of energy that basically stunned you and left you paralyzed. i remember clearly this one move i pulled on this one guy. i felt like dante hall dodging tackles. he surprised me from behind an aisle, him and his buddies, i'll admit that. but he missed, i dodged him. i faked being hit hopefully so that he would think i was done and go away. and let me tell you i did a damn good acting job, drool, limp extremities etc. so instead of checking me and leaving, this guy had to show how bad he got me and how disabled i was. he was going off to his buddy and he was so confident that he placed his gun in my hand. of course i sprung up, laughed, shot them both in the face (the neck more specifically) and ran down the food aisle haha. anyway, at some point, chewbacca was standing on top of an aisle shooting with some bazooka thing, and i somehow snuck up under him perfectly positioned to shoot him in the nuts. after a few minutes of laughing hysterically at my luck, i aimed and shot him square in the wookie spot. he mooooooooaned and i woke up laughing.

ps this has nothing to do with the picture. its just a photo my friend drew happened to send me a week ago or so. ha
pss at some point in the dream, i showed some lady that the toy car her daughter was sitting in was a remote control car and that she could now let her drive out in the parking lot because she couldn't get away. she was psyched.

scary but logical

bottom line, weather is crazy and you never know what's going to happen. its one of the most unpredictable things i think out there. it's really just one of those things that we can just say "hey, this is happening." or "this is going to happen." but really there's not a ton that you can do. i guess you can argue it's the same with most things but weather especially. you can guess, you can go by history and study but what's stopping a category 6 or 8 hurricane? hmmm.
