MBA

I've always wondered what those MBA graduates are up to. I mean, besides coming up with corporate jargon like "synergy" and getting paid a lot more than me. Well here is what the MBA's at Raytheon are up to.

"The Raytheon red is evolving this year. The new red reinvigorates the Raytheon brand and provides additional richness and boldness that helps further distinguish our marketing and communication materials and our messaging from that of our competitors."

Wow that's exactly what I thought when I saw the new logo.

Here are the new guidelines:

PMS: 186
CMYK: 0,100,81,4
RGB 206,17,38

This is serious. Enjoy the logo:

CHAROLLAIS (Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France · Goat-P)

I've dined at some of the finest restaurants in Philadelphia including, Fogo de Chao, Ruth's Chris, Cuba Libre, Brasserie Perrier, and Striped Bass. I've been using the wonderful benefits I receive from Uncle Ray to help me out. And while I've had some amazing and expensive culinary experiences (including the second and third best beef I've ever tasted) I found that for only 20 dollars, I could be filled with more delight. "Tria". It's a wine cheese and beer cafe, of sorts. It's got more of an old pub feel with none of the frat party. They are open late (1:15am - I freaking love you already) and have the finest of simple pleasures. I started with a cheese called "CHAROLLAIS (Saône-et-Loire, Burgundy, France · Goat-P) Dense, rich pate center with a crinkly almond colored rind—tart, intense, and beautiful." It was served on a little wooden platter with honey and some bread. As I took in this wonderful cheese I listened to Keane, U2, traditional Celtic music, and Jimmy Hendrix. Could life get better. It did. For my meal I had a 3 cheese and sun dried tomato toasted-panino along with Reed's Apple Cider Ginger Brew. After weeks of living in Philadelphia, I found my slice. It was a warm night tonight and it hints of Spring, my favorite time of year. I smiled the whole 2 blocks back to my hotel. Haven't done that in a while. It's been one month, and it still sucks.

It sucks to loose your best friend.

I Thought We Were Watching For The Commercials

I thought commercials were the real reason that we watched the superbowl. I certainly didn't watch it to see Peyton Manning getting his panties in bunch every time his mother wasn't around to protect him. Well this superbowl was a real let down on the commercials. Sprint had one for their broadband internet cell cards called "Connectile Dysfunction". But here is a commercial that I kinda liked and it reminded me of Tobias.

I Triple Dog Dare You

So DeEtte and I have this strange tradition. It was borne of sleep deprivation, an overload of school credits and caffeine. It involved a trip to the 711 and a dare. Since then (ocationally) when we are at a 711 we each buy the other the most disgusting thing we can find in the store. We've eaten everything from spicy vienna sausages to pig skins. This time we took things to a new low. Sardines in olive oil and "Fancy Feast" chicken and liver cat food. I ate the sardines and DeEtte ate the cat food. It was far worse than we thought.

Racist Rain Man

So there are a number of interesting characters down here in NJ. The other day I went to the break room to get a snack. A medium sized ubiquitous looking guy was busy talking to himself when I'm came in. He was getting ready to eat 3 little boxes of Wheaties all at once. So he was an older man, wearing a blue lab coat (like most of the blue collar workers here). Ok, not funny. See the trouble with being at the top is that people tend to think you are pretentious. Anyway, so he begins talking about a sports player he likes. Now I don't know sports so we will call him Bill. "So I...I...I really like Billy, see, billy is great see, billy is great...yeah. He, he knows how to play. yeah. he's a white guy. I like hi.m. That's why I bought my wheaties...yeah...cause he's on them. Yeah...I like him because he's a white guy. You don't get many white guys anymore....yeah. I used to like (insert name of some famous player) tooo...yeah...he was a white guy..... He was really good. " No joke.
