mum and i share the same birthdate. in a way. X number of years ago on the same day, my life began – my foray into the world of advertising. some may say, with a cynical toss of the head, that i actually commemorate the day my soul died. but i’m feeling optimistic at this [...]

reasons i hate suits

warning: broad, sweeping, uber generalisations ahead: they have low IQs you know how it is when they come back and say they “don’t get it” but only because they’re looking at it from a REALLY RETARDED CONSUMER STANDPOINT? it’s a fucking lie. these forest gumps who only have enough electrical pulses in their brain to [...]
