who was the marketing genius behind marble top soda bottle

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramune

Ramune is widely known for the distinctive design of its bottle, often called Codd-neck bottles after the inventor,Hiram Codd. They are made of glass and sealed with a marble; the marble is held in place by the pressure of the carbon dioxide in the drink. To open the bottle, a device to push the marble inward is provided with the bottle. The marble is pushed inside the neck of the bottle where it rattles around while drinking. Two little glass nodes inside the bottle allow the drinker to hook the marble in place while drinking.

People trying Ramune for the first time sometimes find it difficult to drink, as it takes practice to learn to stop the marble from blocking the flow. In the new version of the bottle (2006), little slots were added to the cap where the marble was originally held. This allowed the flow to not be obstructed if the marble falls back into the cap.

Ramune is one of the modern symbols of summer in Japan and is widely consumed during warm festival days and nights. Empty bottles are usually collected for recycling at stalls where it is sold.

crime doesn't pay


By the end of the video if feel so sad for the guy. It is actually  kind of depressing to see how this guy fails so easily.

aesthetics shaman vs. esthetics researcher

she said, "what do you want to be when you grow up?"
i said,"i dont know, how bout you shut the frack up cause i'm a pimp, yo..."
she smack me in that face. i told her "i dont love you any more." i cry myself to sleep that night. that next morning i felt better as if the sun was extra bright and glowee. i skiprd breakfast because it was almost time for lunch anyway. i started walking to my studio. there is a forest between me and my studio, so i take my machete every time, incase i have to defend myself against the creature that live in that forest like squirrels or raccoons, never mind. natures little ninjas.  so i'm half way to my studio , it's an awesome studio with a cool leather couch that is nice and worn in with a cold beer( rolling rock extra pale,  i like the horse on the bottle its silk screened) waiting for me, when i see,with my peripherals, something dark and black following me in the bushes. i don't remember if i yelled.  i didn't stick around to find out what it was . i run . i moved through the trees and undergrowth like the dude in apocalypto. i never found what that thing was. i think i was the coocooy, he is the mexican boogie man.

the short answer to the question ,"what do i want to be when i grow up ",is: i going to be twenty three on the twenty third and  i know is that all i know is that Isaac newton had already discovered gravity , Einstein what all come up with the theory of relativity , and Jean Mitchell Basquiat was already hanging out with Andy Warhol by that time they were twenty three. i guess im just a late bloomer.


 im kind of like a "jack of all trades master of none" but more like a "Renissance man" in that respect. Shut up.  Boom! for real.

Dicipline Time

i have been experimenting all semester with my work , and now that my review is getting closer it's time to start finishing what I have made intuitively with a little deliberate action.  
being deliberate, for me, takes effort and discipline.  It's not very fun and it's difficult. An intuitive way of working will only take you so far.  
i aspire to be or express many ideas in my work, but i can do them all i one piece or in one series.  it's will only be expressed at the end  when i die and someone sees the my life's work in its entirety.
