If the year 2000 would've been anything like the year 1950 promised it would be, what would our "I always say"s be like?...

starting a new feature. I grew through the 90's alternative music era, thus I have the DNA equipped with a neverending supply of potential band name/ album titles. disclaimer: use at your own discretion, but drop me a line if you do (for my own sick satisfaction) thx!
band name/album title of the week(ish):
Molotov Cockatiel
OK, so some stuff has to be subconscious... A nice color scheme, splashy font. Maybe you didn't even realize it. Could also be a coincidence... lotta design in the world, bound to be some overlap...
but...
I jus...
...k. REALLY? the design/layout/scheme for the billboards promoting depressioncanbefatal.org is so completely mirror to YOOHOO that it both delights and horrifies me every time I see it.

Maybe cranky overworked/underappreciated designer? Maybe impoverished artist (chocolaty yoohoo is a source of calcium, but cheaper/keeps longer than milk)? Or maybe just another person wearing too many hats within the organization? All I know is that suicide should not trigger my sweet tooth. I haven't been this distracted on the road since I was first introduced to the Dodge of Burnsville dealership logo...


Shammy new year! man that leap-second has me way off today. I keep thinking, 'feels like 12:01:37 when it's really 12:01:36'. As you can see, this X-Mas I was gifted the strength to absorb all of the problems of this world and finally move ahead in '09.(thx A-...Void!). Should be an interesting 365 comin' down the pipe- News can only get better, or at least remain interesting...calling our times 'historic' is how you justify trudging through all the guano long enough to make it out of the cave and tell everyone how bad it stank, right? For me? I'll keep swingin': lotsa' tattooing as usual, more greyduck:volume of roars convention stops and news to come, and lotsa' new art in new forms on the way.
in 2009, 'we'll say WOW every time'... seems like just yesterday we were 'applying directly to the forehead, applying directly to the forehead, applying directly to the forehead'. Good to see we've come so far...
