Starting a new job is always filled with excitement and apprehension.  You can never be too sure what to expect once you’re actually working with, or slaving for, a company.  In most cases the picture in your brain never quite matches the real thing….like the menu pictures at Burger King.  While there are a few occasions when the circumstances are actually better than expected, most situations involve a realization that there are cracks in the façade.  Continue Reading

In the sixteen years that he hosted The Late Show on NBC, Conan O’Brien usurped the former Governator’s fictional character as theee Conan in the entertainment industry.  Steadily developing a cult following over the course of his decade-plus at the network, his dedication to NBC paid off in 2009 when it was announced he would be the successor to the throne of late night, The Tonight Show.  However, it wasn’t long after his crowning (ha ha….crowning) that the 6’-4” redhead darling of late night became the recipient of NBC’s version of the shirt-over-the-head career sucker punch of a lifetime.  Continue Reading

I’m not much of an artist and not much of an art aficionado either.  But when I received a call a while ago to come check out Shepard Fairey mid-mural, I knew I would regret skipping out.  Prior to showing up I was only aware that he was the mastermind behind Obama’s “Hope” poster, but considering how ubiquitous that image was during the elections I figured it would be time well spent.
