Great minds...

When you just do it...

Great minds...

If everyone's different isn't everyone the same?

Great minds...

Which is better? You will be the judge...

Coca Cola

Pepsi

Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?

Most days I would just smile or maybe even like this picture. But with all that's happening in Israel these past few weeks I find it both infuriating and frustrating. Our country is now in turmoil regarding the LGBT members' rights to using surrogacy as a viable solution to becoming parents and on the other hand the new law defining Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish people while disregarding all others.

Looking at this picture one can see enormous hatred or total ignorance and a closer look shows a poster with the commandment Thou shalt not covet.

That may suggest an edited picture, but with my deep understanding of the religious sectors here I believe it is genuine. Because the sad truth is, there is one thing in common with most of our society, and that is ignorance, which of course goes both ways.

I choose to see ignorance and still hope there is a chance for change and that we're not taking the same road Europe took 70 years ago.

It's a new dawn it's a new day it's a new life for me... and I am feeling good

Wow, that was long, both the title and since the last time I posted anything. But a lot has changed in my life. After 7 months of some R&R of sea and sun I am back on the saddle working again (mixed feeling of course). Plus I moved into a new house and... Got a brand new electric scooter (my last one was stolen). So a lot is different and new, but still a lot is the same. I am still getting excited everytime I have a new presentation for a client, which is great. I guess that means I am still doing what I love (although what I love the most is the beach). I feel I have a chance again to influence people, both clients and end users with creative ideas and design. I believe that if you use these two, creative thinking and great design with respect and social responsibility it can actually improve the world. No, I don't see myself as a crusader all of a sudden, but I feel each of us can do something to better themselves and their surrounding, even when it's only advertising in my world and the only change it makes is a smile, that's fine by me.

Confession

Forgive me guys for I have sinned, It's been 3 months since my last confession.
Well, I have been neglecting my blog's duties, but for a good reason. I left my 5+ years long job and started my 6 months (so far) vacation. I think this was defiantly one of the best moves I've made in my life so far. I am actually living for the first time in a very long time (not that I have anything to complain about). I am going to the beach, coffee shops, I am meeting friends, greeting my kids as they come home from school and basically have a lot of free time. I started learning the art of tattooing and even took a trip to Lapland to catch the Aurora Borealis, a long time dream of mine:

But... There is a down side of course, in order to have fun and maintain quality free time, one must have enough money, and that means WORK. So I am reluctantly starting to think about going back to work :-( It's basically a catch 22, you stop working in order to have more free time and more fun, but free time and fun both coast money, so you have to go back to work in order to get more money.
So you think to yourself... I Will get a job for a year or so, leave again and have fun again, right? Wrong... As you grow older you realize that no one is waiting for you with open arms as they used to anymore. So... I have decided to look for a job in which I'll have the most fun, the most international traveling and the most money of course.
Hold your fingers crossed.
