Some funny stuff going on. A few months ago one of my attorneys was concerned that someone else put in an application for our trademark in Japan and this company according to our Japanese lawyers was called Agree Inc. After doing the research and not finding any information they realized that it was a matter of accent. What he was interpreting as Aug gree inc was actually a pronounced Japanese accent saying Ugly Inc. So this whole time there was...

I bought a book called " Strengths Finder 2.0". Very interesting concept. Instead of trying to change weaknesses you try to work with your strengths to accomplish goals . Not only your own strengths but also strengths of coworkers so you can make them and yourself more productive. After you purchase the book you are allowed to go online and take a test to access your 5 greatest strengths. So of course I had to take the test. The Clifton...

Painful opening the logs this morning. The bars did so crappy. Urgh. afer opening 3 logs that were mediocre I went to the San Antonio log to boost my spirits but low and behold, they sucked last night too. Last night I spent 3 hours creating a visualization poster boards. I cut out pictures of dreams and goals I want to accomplish this year. It made me feel better. Putting my thoughts out into the universe. Coyote Ugly Casino here...

Thank god for Denver, San Antonio, and Nashville! Their numbers were awesome last night. Unfortunately the others did incredibly mediocre. Jackson has 101 fever today and is home from school. Both of us have been off and on sick for the last 10 days. I am wondering if our immunities are down and getting various illnesses or we just haven't rebound from the last sickness? He had two tests today I hate that he is missing them but I can't...

What the hell? The first email of the day is about a lawsuit! As a psychological study I would love to figure out what type of people are drawn to suing people. As an example of what I am talking about: I remember being very young , probably 7 or 8 and going down an escalator in a department store with my mother. My sneaker was caught in the escalator as it moved and I was able to pull my...

This is my favorite corporate  picture.

September 21, 2009

I may own a great company and come off very secure and powerful but when it comes to my picture I am just as insecure as everyone else. I had to laugh at Lee's last email because it was like a patient parent trying to speak logically to a child: "Because I'm the art director, that is how communication normally goes. As good as you are about business, you are very difficult when it comes to your picture. It's hard...

What a freaking morning. It's been a pissing match on all sides of every issue that's come up! We pay a contractor the contractor hires a subcontractor. We pay the contractor but the contractor doesn't pay the subcontractor. Now there is a lien against us. So are we supposed to double pay because the contractor acts in a shady manner? This is absurd. We took a new corporate picture a few weeks ago. Lee keeps on sending me photoshopped pictures...

Thank god for Nashville and San Anonio because they other bars did crappy last night. There is a bar that is trying to open up in San Antonio and they went on tv and trashed us. Lesson 1: doesn't matter if its good press or bad press it's still press. So a warm thank you for giving us free publicity. I was going to say something nasty. But there is no need. When you are number one everyone comes after...

Well the good news is that I am not contagious. Went to the doctor said I had flu but I am suffering more from a sinus infection now. About a month ago I went in for a " you are officially over the hill" physical. I had everything done, from top to bottom. When I went in today the doctor said " I know you feel like shit but all your results came in and they were not just good...
