Monday is for Lovers



Love is the most vulnerable situation and state that i have ever experienced. The place that your control has no bearing and what happens to you could be the most suicidal attempt ever created. Yet we live our lives in the search of it and all factors contribute to its hopeful prosperity.

Utilizing their fan base, athletes, and brand awareness they are maximizing the web advertising stratosphere to meet the next generation of Nike athletes. No matter what industry you work in, fashion, technology, or payment processing you can take a marketing queue from the mega sports wear giant Nike.

With over 10 million views, Write the Future became the promotional buzz during the FIFA 2010 World Cup. Take a look below:

If a photo is worth a 1,000 words than a video like this must be worth 10 million.

We Cry by The Script

New song currently on rotation: We Cry by The Script

One of the most important parts to being an inspired person is having ambitions. Woman wanting to change the world in any way they can is the definition of my pursuits. So here's my fav verse from the song that gives this idea a shout out.

Oh... Mary's ambitious
She wanna to be a politician
She been dreaming about it since she was a girl
She thought that she'd be the one who could change the world
Always trying to pave the way for women in a... man's world
