An attempt to ramble after a night of heavy drinking, by Nate Okun Feb.2008.

When taking on a night of drinking it is important to bring with you three things. The first of these things is a simple pen. A pen is a must for all drinking binges because you never know what little peaces of wisdom will fall from your booze soaked lips. A pen is also good for giving random strangers information about where you live, and what time of day is best for harassment. The second thing that should be taken with you is a notepad. Although there is a known correlation to how dirty the bar-napkin is to how cool what you wrote on it must be, there are many ways a bar-napkin can fail you that a notepad will not. First bar-napkins are not a reliable writing surface; they rip through, get soggy, and can be mistaken for mere trash. If you must use a bar-napkin then make sure you fold it carefully and put it in your wallet. You will undoubtedly forget you wrote it and may discard it yourself if you just stick it in your pocket. Your best bet is still the notepad, not a big notepad that could be used for collage biology classes, but a small 2 x 3 notepad that fits nicely in your pocket without creating unsightly bulges. If you happen to be the bag caring sort you will certainly be happy with a small notepad as well, but be sure you can clip your pen to it because many wonderful ideas have been lost during the pen-bag rummage.

The third thing that should be carried for true drunk-thinkers is a micro recorder. Digital or cassette is fine, however in this new day in age digital is better because often they can double as music players or even cell phones. Most of you probably just made face thinking about wiping out a recorder during a night out with friends, but allow me to explain. A Drunken ramble is like a delicate flower. It is only good as it keeps going, if you are interrupted, by a trip to the bar, or bathroom it is likely you will come to a screeching halt of self doubt. The same can happen in the attempt to write ideas down. Stumbling over spelling, or even a turn of a page can really jar your through-put. Use your cellphone and be discreet or best yet barrow your friend’s cellphone, call your own and leave your brilliant ideas on your own voicemail!

It is a  new year once again, and in honor 2011 I have revamped my website with a WordPress blog. I am quite sure that no one will read this except in archives, but as with all things a beginning is the first step to getting any where. For anyone who does happen to stumble on this page I will explain a little about what I intend to write about: I am currently working as the Marketing Manager at The Purple Feather so A lot of what I will be talking about for the next 10 months or so will be marketing and graphic design projects and ideas, but that will be mixed in with a smattering of photography and gadget tidbits. I am also interested in a series of ‘false advertising’ posts these will be just small posts with images attached, they will be mostly funny little quibs not much longer than a tweet. speaking of twitter you can find me at @Pinholepirate you can expect that I will tweet any posts I make as I go. Thanks for reading what i have to say, and stop back in soon!
