eat salt

i’m really glad i passed “sweet 19″ as quickly as possible. 15, 19 and 21 seem to be the really problematic years when kids think they’re smarter, better, hotter, stronger (and more misunderstood) than the rest of the world. it’s teen angst at its best. and most annoying. still, some people never seem to grow out of it, especially all those aspiring creatives who imagined our industry is some red-carpet walkway to fame, fortune and glamour.

then again, this is a sweeping statement (hiding within its depths a disclaimer).

i’m not sure i could still be all guilt-ridden and anti-establishment seeing as i’m in advertising. how much more in the system can i get? i’m wholly immersed, stuck all the way up its hairy, sweaty arse.
