God, not this again

In a week dominated by the extraordinary news out of Cleveland, concerning the three young women liberated after a decade’s captivity in a suburban basement, one quote stood out for me. ”For Amanda’s family, for Gina’s family, for Michelle’s family, prayers have finally been answered,” FBI special agent Steve Anthony told a press conference.

Sorry, how does it actually work again, for religious folk of all descriptions? What is the model? Is it that your god allows such terrible things to happen, but the belief is that if enough people fall to their knees and ask him to change things, he becomes an interventionist god? I pose this as a serious question. What evidence is there that it does work?

Nothing worked today. Not a thing. Any electronic device in my possession was cursed. Doomed to fail. Weird.

This is what happens when you open your mouth. Meaning, I met Shane Perkins in January this year at the Tour Down Under. He told me about his invite to race in Japan, and I thought that would make for a very cool story. I told Luke O’Shea, then Marketing and Brand manager at Onitsuka Tiger, who I had formed a relationship with via producing the Sydney Bicycle Film Festival. He (being a champion) loved it and pitched it up the line. They (also being champions) backed the project.

And now we (Matty, Davros and I) find ourselves in Japan for the second time this year, with unparalleled access to Shane, and behind the scenes of the national Japanese Keirin racing competition.

So next time you think about opening your mouth, keep it open.

This place sweats with greenery. Ridges block the horizon like shreds of ripped paper. And like a setting of an old Kung Fu film, vast concrete structures are home to a curious race of people practising a single craft. Keirin. Velodromes lie within sunken craters. Each as old but as functional as a neglected tennis court. They look like your old school does - old, but working with the memories of decades painted in the colours and shape. Space is vast. And with the peeled eyes of a tourist, nothing is ordinary. In the beginning there is an idea. Usually fuelled by an assumption, desire, or some unfinished puzzle, the trip begins. It becomes a reality only when the flight is paid for. It’s still an idea though until the 430am taxi to the airport. And sometimes even the airport in another land still looks like yours. But soon enough, that teardrop you now see on your phone, is where you are. And nothing is the same.

My candle burns at both its ends; It will not last the night; But oh, my foes, and oh, my friends — It gives a lovely light.

The outdoors is in, but alot of brands have jumped too soon. While a single or double strap looks old and cool, it’s actually friggen frustrating to open and close. This stainless steel one though from Montana based Knapp Sacks looks alot easier to use.

Cheap too on his site where you can also custom. Not sure about shipping to Oz but.

I need something that’s not FB or Twitter. Something that people look at to help ideas grow, or brands visit to see what opportunities exist.

Idea Gallery is starting, but something needs to be online.

And brands need to leave strategic plans and the one agency model for there are too many opportunities that can reinforce their values living outside of a slogan.

Right now I’m thinking of doing a nap time shop for August at UNM. Who can help?
