rolling the boulder

As I have moved to a new town - by circumstance rather than choice - I find myself drawn to the theory of exile. I am the man rolling the boulder up the hill, not quite reaching the pinnacle.

Two years ago I went to the Miami Ad School Account Planning Bootcamp in an attempt to define my place in advertising. To me planning is the ultimate challenge. I love it because it is science and it is creativity - possibly the missing link between the hemispheres of the brain. At all times the lines are blurred. For you to have a truly brilliant strategy you must both understand the nature of the science of advertising (demographics, target markets) and you must understand how to communicate to people effectively; where you need to know alot about yourself and people. I enjoy it all the more because it is not easy.

The intimidation factor here is huge because, I feel, at 26 I don't know enough about anything to be truly good at something.

so here i am, a student of the world...yearning to become a teacher.
