All in all, life’s treated me fair.

Sometimes I’ve been lucky but most of the time I’ve got what I deserve.

I’ve recently passed half quarter that marks the tipping point of my internship period. 

As a sign of this I’ve seen a change in work tasks that I get and I’m now preparing to run along side, one of the agency’s gifted account directors. 

-“Life is like a box of chocolates”, you never know witch ones will leave stains.

Anyway, today is my birthday so please send one of the following gifts:

(Address included in portfolio)

 

-A job as a junior project manager / producer

-A RIB boat “Bombard C3” with at least a 25 horsepower engine

-A Rhodesian ridgeback puppy

-A Black Range Rover sport

-A pair of Apple sneakers

-A discount at the dentist

 

If not, bugger off and leave my thirty-year-old (axx) alone!

One had better do this, 

I'm Martin, I'm in London at R/GA and that's cool.

Coming to London, of course, a messy experience. Coming to R/GA, of course, difficult.

I spent my first one or two months feeling like a stupid, overgrown, fat kid, with greasy hands and a running nose, trying to understand what the grown-ups were talking about. They would talk to me, calmly, sincerely explaining the issues of a brief, where I could find assets for the task, how to deal with certain issues, trying to help me along; so that I could produce something for them, show them that I was good and could be trusted. They explained, so patiently, looking into my eyes, in search for that spark of understanding. And I would look back at them, blankly, quite unable to comprehend the purpose, ignorant of the techniques needed and, worst of all -completely void of the refreshing ideas, vigor and young talent I knew they expected.

They were calling my bluff, and I was panicking.

They haven’t thrown me out yet, so I must be doing something right.

I can see St: Paul’s from my window.

I hate my fried-chicken-man

I work with two clients, one of them is big in telecommunication and the other is big sportswear. One is tricky, and the other is challenging. I enjoy both of them.

I’ll stop now, and I’ll write soon again, now I know how to log into this stupid thing.  

New York, New York

Here I am sitting in the big light filled kingdom of Freedom + Partners drinking my Starbucks coffee whilst taking in the invigorating taste of a Göteborgs Rapé.
The cars passing over Brooklyn bridge in an eternal flow gives away sound like a distant thunderstorm and I'm thinking:

"Life is wonderful"

Ok what I'm really are trying to say is that,
I'm very happy I ended up at F+P where I feel I've grown immensly already.
The guys here are truly todays McGuyvers of the web. There is I guess almost nothing
they couldn't make happen on the Internet!
And furthermore Freedom+Partners has the coolest CEO ever, Mark Ferdman who plays the role as a mentor equally as good as Clint Eastwood played a whiskey drinking cowboy in Sergio Leone's western movies during the sixties.
Exept here we don't do the Ennio Morricone background music..

I´m not much of a blogger as some may have noticed but I had to tell you this little story.

Cheers from Nicolas Antoniades and NYC!

Hallå ja!

I have had a cold so i have not been feeling very well. Well now I'm currently doing a lot of things simultaneously and it's kind of tingle my belly a little bit. That or the fact that i found out what the best song I ever heard is called. I have heard it at some clubs before, like a funny song in between, with the reactions from the people at the dance floor; kind of similar to the reactions of "känn igen sorg för mig göteborg", or maybe more like "Michelangelo" by Björn Skifs. (the happyness of "känn ingen sorg för mig göteborg and the authority and nostalgia of "Michelangelo") Or well, I'm not really sure exactly wich this song its exactly like and I cannot relly figure it out now. All i know is that this song is fabulous. Everybody will love it! Impossible to not love it. Love it!

So there, I'm spreading the culture of Spain and everybody should embrace this piece. I want it to be the soundtrack to every party worth the name party. I want it to be played at Linda Rosings wedding! Will she marry Hugo? Hope not. Hugo is giving me creeps. I wish that she will marry the Gothenburger.

Also i want to recommend the SVT documentary "Jag vill inte leva det här livet". It's about a crew of GHB addicts. Really good. It gives you a fresh point of view of life, if you tired of photoshop, stupid vectors or puking gradients.

Farewell
