Tired at Work

Who wouldn’t want to wake up, play 18 holes of golf, grab a Corona and head to the beach cabana until your six o’clock date with a few pina coladas and fresh crab legs? How sweet life would be. But, the modern man knows that sunday night marks the end of the weekend debauchery and the beginning of the work week grind. There isn’t enough Starbucks in the world to help me through the first two hours of Monday morning, but here are a few sites ( IndiaTimes and eHow ) that offer an alternative Monday morning panacea.

” make sure you finish all the dirty work on Friday itself. Keep Monday for a fresh start. That way, at least there’s one thing less to bog you down on a Monday. Now that you know how to chase your blues, have a very happy Monday, remember the weekend’s just five days away!”

Spirit of the BrandNo guy wants to admit the first time he actually wanted to take a trip to Crate and Barrell or Pottery Barn on the weekend to check out the merchandise. There comes a point in time when an old couch, a Playstation 2, and a shadeless lamp just don’t tie the room together as well as we had originally thought. This realization typically has some underlying correlation to the female species, but I won’t get into that now.

Some people say that everything is art, and art is everything. I couldn’t agree LESS! I have seen more bullshit art living in New York than I care to ever see again in my life. Some people got it and some people don’t. Spirit of the Brand…now these guys are artists.

“The Spirit of the Brand program was created by people who genuinelyunderstand what it means to be artists. We actively seek out designers, performers, musicians and other creative souls from today’s street culture who collectively define the bong spirit.”

Now get this all wannabe trendsetters and “genius” marketers out there. These guys speak to this generation better than any Brooks Brother’s Ivy MBA.

“Other companies often try to influence trends by creating ad campaigns full of illusionary lifestyles and fictitious hipsters. Whike they lump together one group of vague stereotypes, we know that that our consumers are both more intelligent and uniquely individual than any clever ad exec could ever invent.”

That’s right guys, when you are done with the hooch the bottle will look good and smoke better. Now thats what I can funtional art.
