So it's been a few days with a Black guy in charge. Aston Krutcher did not run out and say, "Punkkkkkeeeed!!!! I did not wake up to hear, "Authorities speculate the weapon was fired from..." I can stop writing that pain in the ass President-Elect, crap and come on out with Pres. Obama and be done with it. They took my race card. |

I only deal it to myself, when I can't find any other logical reason or excuse for the things that don't happen in my life, not happening. When nothing else makes sense I go to the Ace of Spades. At least that's the way I see it going for me. I won't be able to hide behind the bias of "The Men In The Grey Flannel Sheets" as Sandy Moore so richly describes Madison Avenue's chief executives. That scape goat is now a dog that won't hunt. What will I do, what will I do? I won't be able to blame them ignoring my resumes as being racially motivated. "It must be my age." I'll have to polish off some other obvious conclusions to come to. Or, "They just hatr people from LA," That might work. But, for sure, "Maybe it's because I'm Black." is dead in the water. Maybe that's a good thing. Maybe that's what I need to get me to work harder and think deeper. If I don't have these barriers to consider, maybe I won't give up after the fifth email with no response. Maybe it's the work that's not good enough and not the worker. Interesting thought. I hate interesting thoughts. They always make me think harder. This is all pretty esoteric mumbling since I'm self-employed. Nobody has responded to a resume from me in 15 years. My resume is far too scary. "Well first I worked for Berry Gordy and then I worked for Helmut Krone and Mary Wells. Well actually, both Mary Wells. And then Berry Manilow, Mike Becker and I created the longest running campaign in advertising. Lately? Let's see? President Barack Obama turned my White House Office of Creative Affairs proposal into the White House Office of Public Liason. That was this past Tuesday. Is that late enough for you?" No, a resume like that will get me absolutely nowhere on Madison Avenue. That's why I'm self-employed. I fully expect business to be better during the next four years. By business, I mean the ones I build, not the ones I work for. Big business is still fairly clueless about how to build their own business. That's why I started to build my own businesses. I was running out of clients who understood that everything was about to change so advertising better get itself changed as well. I figured they couldn't hear me because I was speaking from an African-American face. Then I realized that if they were stupid enough to regard somebody with my track record in that light, the concept of Neo Advertising was way beyond them. Way. No excuse. It's not me. It's them. They're brain dead. Oh well, back to work.
