Advertising is just like flirting! If you want to find someone you got to make it a point to put yourself out there! That is what I did today! This morning I got up and wrote www.humanpuppet.com (probably a thousand times) on the back of some scrap paper. I then cut all the paper into strips and now I have environmentally friendly business cards. After that I watched “The Ellen Show”. I pictured myself dancing next to her, threw my hands up in the air, and screamed! I just know it’s going to be amazing to dance with her.

Then I thought about my Ellen song I’m working on, then about my ex-girlfriend Miss Serene Rivers and how great she sounds on my track. Then I got sad because she lost faith in me and my project. It’s so frustrating taking on a project like this. But it’s also amazing! Whenever I start to get discouraged and think about all the people who make fun of me I just envision the thrill of finally pulling it off. I get this overwhelming feeling of peace when I picture the day I’m standing next to Ellen. The joy of being able to say I told you I could do it! I told you that with enough confidence and determination greatness can be captured. That’s what keeps me going, that idea that one day I’ll capture a dream, one day I’ll dance with Ellen DeGeneres, one day I’ll be a role model who can speak from experience when I inspire people. No matter how difficult, tedious, and down I may get on myself when things don’t work my way, I have to keep the vision.

So after dancing in front of the TV for a bit I ate lunch with my dad! Another frustrating experience. I know he loves and supports me, but he thinks my project is weird!

I had a meeting today with ITOLDUSO! That was pretty cool! Nothing makes me happier than talking with other young people who are taking charge of their own lives, doing things their way! The meeting went well and I headed out to inktank and chatted up with an artist friend of mine who is drawing me a picture of an Angel Ellen! (GOIN TO BE BAD ASS!) I then walked around Cincinnati handing out my eco-friendly b-cards!

While at inktank my friend Jai All Day who is the founder of Cincinnati’s Conscience ran around (and stole) my red feathered boa! Just something about being around her makes me happy! It gives me faith in the city, lets me know that it’s ok to be different, ok to be ambitious, and cool to laugh at jokes about cannibalism.

With that I leave you all with a question…

“Is it abnormal to be happy your not normal?”
