i know you...
And maybe you are really thinking of some pain-free, free-range pot-luck you went to last weekend or the earth's depleted ozone or the desperate need to stop cruel product testing on animals.
make all the dust that you can
The Lost Boy started life as a simple guerilla campaign to pitch myself to other agencies. The situation was/is that I am (to quote an ex-CD) 'an interactive whiz' with a 'good conceptual eye', who is 'very capapble in many areas'. The idea behind The Lost Boy was a series of 'lost boy' posters that'd talk about me, as having been 'last seen as an interactive designer who went looking for an advertising job and hadn't come back home'.
All in all, it looked and sounded like a good idea — a series of posters all over town, a 'bogus website' (at http://www.the-lost-boy.netfirms.com/) and maybe a milk carton with a 'lost person' sticker on it that could be sent to the recruiters.
With every passing week, doubt started to creep in and holes were beginning to show with this idea. They say a weak conceptual idea is like a pavement - doubt, like water, will find all the cracks. And it was discarded 5 weeks after I had written it down on a napkin at The Wine Hut.
There was another problem, too. The more I thought about The Lost Boy idea, the more it seemed like it was manifesting itself from the shocking low level of self-confidence that i was was facing and The Lost Boy was reflecting it.
I couldn't go on with it anymore, so I moved on to trying to think of other ideas. I had to move forward anyway, because there was no turning back.
holding it back sometimes just makes it worse
most of the information about clearances and classification relates to the united states government classification systems established by the director of the central intelligence agency — utilized under executive order 13292 (amending eo 12958) issued by president george w. bush in 2003; this executive order lays out the system of classification for information handled by the united states government and its employees, contractors, and industrial firms, handling classified information. the desired degree of secrecy about such information is known as its sensitivity. sensitivity is based upon a calculation as to the damage to "national security". the united states has three levels of classification — confidential, secret, and top secret. each level of classification indicates an increasing degree of sensitivity — top-secret being the highest, and confidential being the lowest. if one holds a "top-secret" clearance, one is allowed to handle information up to the level of "top-secret" (thus, secret, and confidential information). if one holds a "secret" clearance, one may not then handle "top-secret" information, but may handle confidential classified information.
it was probably simmering for a long time and it exploded today morning
i didn't mean it. it wasn't directed at her anyway.
