left brain right brain no brain

Once again I'm caught in the fight between my left brain and my right brain. I love numbers, metrics, analytics all things black white and absolute (ahem - not the vodka) BUT I want to be messy, creative, assumptive, out there and every color of the rainbow too. I've struggled with this since I was kid - and every so often it rages back full force. This is one of those days. I work in advertising, we have deadlines, people to be accountable to, clients to please. But I work in advertising - we have the freedom to craft the message, the strategy, the direction any way we like. Today - my worlds are colliding and not in a "new taste sensation" kind of way, in a "screw this, I'm better and smarter than this kind of way".

My first post

Wow - catchy title...I can't believe i finally jumped in. I'm a digital strategist who spends all day, every day, telling my customers to "embrace social media" - oh sure - i have a facebook page, a myspace page, I post photos online, I tweet occasionally and i read more newsletters and blogs than I can count on my own fingers and toes, my boyfriends fingers and toes and those of my three cats and a turtle (nice plug for my other new blog eh?). But - I've never blogged - I've commented on blogs - but never actually blogged. Suddenly, I don't feel like such a poser anymore. And maybe I'll sleep just a little better tonight knowing that I checked something off that 1000 things to do before I die list. Only 999 more to go - woo hoo! Lookout blogosphere - here I come!
