I feel confident in the direction that my career is going. I know it's still early days for me and the marketing, But things are going well. I think that as long as I continue to build my portfolio, More opportunities will continue to come my way. With that being said- there is still alot of things that i need to learn. I only have the most tenuous grasp of graphic design, for example. I dont know how to use adobe illustrator at all, although i can use adobe photoshop somewhat. Honestly, for most design projects for my clients, I use gimp or fotor. And that's a serious problem. In addition, I can't video edit. But wait, there's more! I know S.e.o. tactics, and I know about backlinks, listings, etc. I can run a social media campaign, and i'm aware of metrics, and even the more complex analytics programs such as sem rush. But I am missing something very important in facebook business. so important and i dont even know how to set it up. I think i ...

My baby's Full name is Carmenita Darling Minako Delgado. Which is alot, I know. You see, she's named after all the grammas in the world. Carmenita was my wife's grandmother Darling is my grandmother's name Minako is my best friend's gramma's name. I know it may sound silly, but we are extremely close with her, and the rest of my friend's family. That's alot of names, right? We're mexican but even to me it seems like a mouthful. Life has been a little difficult with the new baby. It also coincides with the time I've started my marketing company, So between her and work- I have hardly been able to sleep or eat at all. It's only as of a couple days ago that she began sleeping through the night and that is truly a blessing, especially for my poor wife. We took her with us on a psuedo-vacation to cedarburg in which we went antique shopping, wine tasting, and gramma visiting. We stayed the night in a lovely bed and breakfast and ...

I love the oldies. I mean the REAL oldies, not the crap they play on the radio these days. When i was young, my parents would take us on road trips around the country on family vacations. and as we'd drive, we'd listen to the oldies. the beatles, elvis, roy orbison, jackie wilson, the temptations, ccr. buddy holly, guess who, all the greats. I had a tape player with some zwesome oldies tapes that i wish i still had. suffice it to say, i listened to them so often that as a child, i was renowned for my rendition of "When a man loves a woman" by perry como. Also, When i was a child, and indeed all throughout my life- I suffer(ed) from terrible insomnia. So, I'd stay up late and call the local oldies station to request songs. Sometimes the dj's would play my call on the air, and I would get a huge kick out of that. Until one day a dj said something like "hey kid, why aren't you in bed???" which is perfectly harmless and funny, but as a...

There's a real sweet lil catto that lives in the woodpile in my yard. She's honey gold with a severe limp in her rear left leg and when i first saw her, she was so thin that her ribs could be seen. I've been feeding her religiously every day, sometimes twice a day- and she always eats every last morsel. sometimes she'll sit on our porch and look up at the door. but if i open the door, she'll run away. this leads me to speculate a couple things. first of all, shes likely a runaway pet, or a cat who's owners simply discarded her. She obviously associates a doorway with being inside, and being inside with comfort. She's obviously very smart, to make such an association. To me it also means that she has been watching us enter and leave the house- to even know that it is a door; and the entrance to shelter. It also leads me to hope that because she is interested in the shelter of the house, she may in time become comfortable with me, that she may gr...

It started when I used to do promoting for "The Dive", a music venue that my friends and I ran when I was 21. I would go out and organize a "street team" for promoting our place. making connections, handing out flyers, setting up popup events, networking, etc. Not knowing that this was actual solid guerrilla marketing tactics. I didn't really know much of anything. Except that I liked going out there, making connections, and finding ways of generating interest. Fast forward all these years later. I knew that because of my criminal history and facial tattoos- if I were going to be in the marketing field I would most likely have to forge my own path. I had made my own bad decisions in my life and if i were going to rise above them; I would have to work even harder to make up for them. I had the idea of starting my own marketing company- but since it would just be me, I figured i would have a hard time getting clients. So, i came up with  https://www.ren...

In the last blog I expounded upon the origins of my love of fitness. Through the example of my father, and a natural aptitude, i enjoyed decades of long distance running, until, not a year after running my ultra marathon- i required knee surgery. The timing of course was no coincidence. Training for my ultra-marathon was unbelievably grueling, and I did myself a disservice by only training up to 40 miles. Meaning that by the time race day had come, not only was I running at competitive speed- but I also had to run 10 miles further than i ever had before in my life. The Surgery BUMMED ME.   NOT FUN. I sat around and got too skinny because I refused to eat much- in fear that I would get fat and sloppy, since I wasn't running or exercising. I got depressed. And weeks later, when I was actually able to get around, i started hitting the weights, I had done alot of weight training in my life. although my focus had usually been running. But now i focused on the weights with a pa...
