Burden









Isn't it the most descriptive word humanity has ever invented?
When I hear someone saying "I'm carrying a burden", beyond letters I feel his pain, I hear his scream, I see his silent cry.
Humanity tried to draw feelings on walls, write them on papyrus, play them on instruments, and tell them in audible sounds. But I believe that amongst all feelings, "burden" knew how to become the widest understood imagery.
Is it because humans are all fine through that, they feel each other when they hear it? They demonstrate compassion by understanding it? Is this word what's gonna be the only common fine line between all sapiens when other species will come and document our past existence?
Anyways it's a pure human invention. Exclusivity that only can register.
To be continued.

Brief me, pleaaaaase!

"I need a break brief" "Brief" is becoming a word to kill for nowadays. I just have to say " give me a brief " to trigger a raffle of weird looks from my interlocutor, and sometimes it goes like " but we're discussing now! "... well, I can let go and get an affirmation that our discussion IS the brief. But truth doesn't take time to show up: " why don't we do a promotion or offer something? ", or " can we say some other message? ", or some other person comes and tell the team they were wrong in their approach, and that a brief would be re-written...! I would have loved to be the cool dude who helps you leave on time, but it's not up to me.. when it starts becoming a habit, and the cool dude is not that cool if one day he calls halt to the bad habit, then you should know it's for the sake of the client, the agency, the artists, the creatives, and the industry centennial learnings. Some might d...

"Out of sight"

I've just watched the best 5-minute anim and it made my day, a Japanese one about a blind little girl who lost her dog guide for a while. It inspired me one thought: "we become creative only after closing our eyes to the outer noise and focus on our internal voice. Only then we can isolate a different perspective of the world, not like everybody else sees it, not like we are told to see it, but how we imagin it. How would things look if we see them through only our creative mind? Anything could happen then, and that's the impossible and magic world of creativity. Then only, "Resist the usual" or "be different" or "think different", will make sense. I would say that it's good to plan our plan according to real data, in a real world and to fit perfectly in the tangible and conventional world, but we should incept this plan creatively, in a borderless world of no limits. How many times you were faced with an "a...

Pains of Birth

He screams. He cries. He tries to see through but sees nothing.  A cold sensation spreads over his skin. Chilling matter goes through his wide open mouth and stings his lungs before he exhales again another scream.  Giant creatures standing there scare him. They are unproportionally bigger than anything that could fit in the world he was living in till very recently. His world was comfortably dark, cozy and warm. Constantly fed through the cord tied to his belly, he didn't even have to worry about chewing anything but his thumb.  He cries as the will to go back to his comfort zone, fails him.  Those giants were holding him and anyway, he couldn't move in this totally new, unknown world.  New rules apply. He has no idea what's ahead, and he doesn't know whether he should trust, or not, the new nature, the new present, the new valiants tutors.  So he screams.  He kicks.  He waves his fists around in all directions.  Little did he know that noth...
