# 2 Grand Reasons to move out !

As i have finally understood the importance of a blog and how serious / important it can / should be, i tranform all the great values and awesome spirit in to a Brand New Wordpress blog. (Not that i could not do it here, just the feeling of moving forward will be emphasized in this way. At least in my own  head)

What?
Therefore from 18 of november 2012 i will provide you with even more awesome blog, that will direct you in the amazing world of advertising, creativity and to my weird, extremely funny thoughts of random facts. So putting all the info in more logical / understandable way.

And all this just to make all my friends (i'm that sweet that i call all the blog readers my friends without even knowing them yet) lives more fulfilled with joy, happiness and a great doze of inspiration to go out there in the big world and kick some butholes.

Why?
#1 Because i believe that one of the greatest things you can do is to help people around you. And this will be my way of doing it for now.

Whooaw, what a great, wise and helpful man i am.

#2 Because i would like to be a great blogger, and learn how the f*ck to attract people in this great world of Internet to look at me, my messages, my great work, and give me feedback so i could guide myself in the perfect way to create even more awesome stuff. (excusing statment for the overkill of the word "awesome" I have watched to much of HIMYM lately)

This is the selfish awesome reason number two why.

I think this image nicely explains this next step of creating a new blog. It will be a long, exciting  journey with a lots of unexpected actions ahead and mistakes to make (that we will learn from). Hopefully you will join me for this ride.

How a lonely dinosour went to the disco !

Or the theme is actually "Advertising in old times" (refering to the votes in the motivational faceboook group -- http://www.facebook.com/monkeyhasbanana p.s. doesn't matter it was only one vote)        but i wouldn't write the topic in the title to prevent all the "topic readers" from leaving this awesome blog sooner then they should.

Don't you miss the old times when commercials was something that you would actually look at and not be afraid of or just skip them as fast as possible.
(Yes, i was not born at that time, but i have seen more adds then you probably ever will and i do have a great understanding of how is adds working .. have to show a bit of my cool side here)

And with old times i wouldn't go too far behind like with egyptians having their sales announcments written on a piece of papyrus... Let's stick to 50's to 60's a few decades after the tv was made ( thanks to John Logie Bard ) but before the cable television was invented. The times when you wanted to skip the commercial you actually had to get you fat ass out of the comfortable chair that was smelling of sweat and food left-overs and press the damn button and then go all the way back to the chair and hope that there woulnd't be another commercial any time soon.

Commercials / commercial television as such was carried out in the early 50's so that's the start of all the yet-seemed to be-innocent started to jump and the tv show's were mainly sponsored by one company therby ending up with the sponsor nearly "running" all the show only until few years later until "DuMont Television Network" come up with a great idea to sell the advertisment time to multiple sponsors and ensuring to have the show more or less as it's supposed to be..

Continuing with geeky stuff here

Only ten years later in early 60's companies really started to invest some serious amount of the damn dollars to reserach the consumer behavior and action towards a certain product or service.
So my mom also didn't escaped the time of people staring to be in influenced in a serious way in certain direction into buying / visiting / consuming all sorts of things and crap.
Just thought you would like to no some facts about my mother..
So from that time on, continuing with the explosion of cable tv and the MTV, to "dot com" boom in the 90's with all the companies going online to the "gorrila marketing" which is basically a stickers and graffitty type of a advertisment and is more for small businesses.. lets just say that "McDonalds "
wouldn't prefer this type of a marketing strategy.

For the ending part-
As every fashion trend, new style of pants or a brand new t-shirt has already been popular, it has just repeated from the history. Light blue straight jeans was so 80's and is ok to wear now again. The advertisment has already begun to turn back in the times when everything seemed to be nice and harmless and smoking was healthy, at specially for woman.
Only now the people have gotten way smarter and are asking too many question and looking for too many answers about everthing including "the thing" they're about to consume, and have a tv'remote that can easily skip the add in no time.

So the add guys have to push more on the emotional side by creating commercials that are not only great advertisment strategies employed in a piece of video but will grab your emotions by the balls.

And i love it.


p.s. a great example of a great add here. Not an old days one though.

Hallelujah

Or how ever you write this mighty call, but after 7 more visits my awesome blog will have be seen 5000 times. This is something incredible. Why how, and why people do want to read this pieces of uncontinues, random and not always sense making posts.
So i admit that i've pretty much failed writing this blog as a one solid piece of a certain information to keep to maintain the blog as great source of valid information and endless well of inspiration.
At least that's how i would define, what the blog is meant to be in my case.

FAIL - SHARE IT! That's one of very many things i've picked up from the awesome/wise man Gunter Pauli.
So i did. Now what?
Having the new awesome determination. Write a blog posta a week. Make it nice, beautiful, reasonable, informational, and filled with a lots of very smart-ass words that i wouldn't use on a daily bases.
Changing theme/subject/socks on a weekly + you all have a great chance to make a suggestion for a story.
Either it's a question, "why does horses do not like to drink dark beer" or you would like to find out "how will the raising taxes influence my new: hamster-wallpapers-for-elderly-houses business" just drop (or better try to write it) your issue at my awesome motivational facebook pag or drop a comment here in blogger.
http://www.facebook.com/monkeyhasbanana

Will start with the first blog post from the 7th of October by choosing the coolest topic. In case of only one subject suggested i'll choose that one and i will personally send you a thank you letter for saving this new awesome experiment i've started + a nice surprise! Aaand a might even a picture will be taken and posted with the lucky awesome person.

Soon there should be incredibly nice stickers - available free for all the contributors.


WHY DO YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

1. You have the chance to see how this awesome media is connceted and how greatly it works all together.
2. Because I said so.
3. You have a chance to learn how to write a blog post by a given topic. (By looking at mine)
4. There is not so much interesting stuff going on, on facebook anyway.
5. You can save an online attention starving person from hunger.
6. It's just awesome to engage in everything new and super cool.
7. Your mother will be even more proud of you.
8. It will inspire another people do amazing things like this.
9. You do not want to read anymore of the reason of "why?"
10. Hotdog does not tastes so good with only mustard in it.
11. You are a great person.

For all those cool people with short memory: http://www.facebook.com/monkeyhasbanana
Write an idea. Get a present :)

And the duck says peace !

And once again

A small return, a tiny victory, or more like a success of unrolling a blogs string from the clew of my yet unstructured / random but awesome life.

I can image this blog becoming something more of a Forbes magazine or any other once-a-month self-called fancy magazines.
From the covers that are to be in frames. Paragraphs filled with wisdom that just sparks throughout the words. Eeach page takes your and moment just to see how wonderful it's not only by it's cotext but also looks.

There. That could be my blog in a near future.
More of a weekly made updates about the extraordinary huge amounts of work/experience and fun i've manage to compress into 7th given days.
Only i would need an assistent with ability to write/speak in english and take nice pictures (and would work for food or even better. Would accept salary as a big and warm "Thank you" at the end of Every week).

Oh, yes and also you should have a great ability to find go-card. Cause that is one of the reasons i live.
To collect them and put up on my wall.
So far it looks like this:
So far so good, but never enough. As Steve Jobs would say: "Stay hungry, stay foolish" and i am pretty hungry when it comes to these cards.

As the great musician (at least the Blue print 3 was a great album) Jay-z would say. "I don't be in a project hallway talking 'bout how i been in a project all day."
So for some nice work, will let you know as soon as the wind blows.

p.s. Couldn't come up with anything that funny for the last sentence, or even something that would make sense either.

Expensive cutlary.

A lot of great things ruined, overtaken or more like overwhelmed with (stupid) bullshit. This time talking about the wonderful internet universe.
Starting from the twitter that was originally made for a simple and great purpose, for people to exchange with short, important, valid messages has grown into some your mini-blogs, extremely often life updates about shit, they themselves don't even care.

12:22 "Going to the shop to buy some cerials"
12:25 "Will probably buy the crunchy color rings"
12:31 "My dog just made a funny face"
12:43 "Back from the shop, but forgot milk"

Ooooh my goodness. How, why, why would you even do that? It is "meaningless or without practical value" quoting the urban dictionary for what does "stupid bullshit" means.

But it is everywhere, and nearly everwhere is sending all this crap information forward and forward.
Facebook, blogger, youtube, so many "news" sites, and a special site for this crap- 9gag that at least gathers ajority of this junk in one place. Damn. It just frustrating when you have to (cause i am such a cool person and that's the only reason) spend at least 8 hours a day in front of this screen, and facing all this crap daily you seem to get only dumber and dumber, by being nearly drawning in this useless piles of information.

How would it be possible to not get in contact with all this unpleasentness or reduce it to minimum?
That's smells like a life-time project to somebody.
