What You Get for Waking Up in Vegas

I am listening to "Young Forever" by Jay-Z and reflecting on the past four days in Las Vegas. Three words: best vacation ever. Multiple softball championships, stupid bets made, gallons of alcohol drank, and new friends made...I can't believe that there is a better way to spend a week.

Also, I don't believe that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas because my back is still spazzing and my hammies are killing me. Totally worth it.

As much as I would love to write more, it is probably not appropriate. So ask me, when I'm not so exhausted.

This is my team, the co-ed, men's and city champions. Awhile back, I wrote a post about how much I loved to play the game. It asked, "what is more fun for a child than being the hero?" You know what? Scoring the winning run in the last game in extra innings, cutting up the back of your leg, and jumping up and down in jubilance with your team. THAT is fun, even when you're 24.

Because I dislike Twilight,

and I think this is funny but never posted it.

A small portion of my day has been researching the "digital space" for tiny tidbits of information that could (ahem, should) be appreciated across clients.  I found these and wanted to share.

This is a word cloud, filtering out reoccurring words from Wikipedia's article on social media.  Thank you Wordle for making Wikipedia even more dummy proof.

Then here is this winner with its warm up music, which makes me want to present to a conference room full of head scratching marketing directors. In a pair of breakaway pants.

I admit that some of these terms and buzz words are overused, underdeveloped and totally boring.  Whatever it is, it's real.  Social media should not be a challenge, but an appreciated asset that compliments existing plans.
