Overview
Here's the extra goodness.
Me
I have a pretty strong stomach. I am loyal. I find most things very interesting. I have a long attention span when I get excited and a short one when I am bored.
Cher
Cher is a hairstylist and an amazing mother to our two cats and great best friend.
Seth
Seth is my best friend and brother. He is a great art collaborator and smart cookie.
Mom
My mom is compassionate and full of love. She works at the post office.
Dad
My dad is a loveable goofball with a heart the size of a pumpkin. He is passionate about playing hockey.
Slider
Slider loves tipping things over. His back legs don't work and yet he can do anything he wants.
Nicky
Nicky is loving and quite nervous. He is very sweet to his brother.
These are the counties I grew up in.
The four counties that constitute my "hometown micro-region" are Ontario (the county I was born and raised), Monroe (the county my parents were raised and dad was born in), Livingston (the county my dad did two semesters of college in and still holds the competitive diving record), and Wayne (the county that Cools Shade, a kid that played soccer with the prescription sunglasses, lived in as well as the home to Alpine Ski Racing Olympic Medalist Diana Roffe Steinrotter).

These are a few of my favorite places, things, and brands from my youth.
Rossignol Skis - I loved my 7sk skis. This was naturally before I was taught to dislike the French.
Umbros - This soccer apparel was off the charts cool.
Stouffer's French Bread Bizza - see above Duncan Hines description.
The Wizard of Clay - Always thought this was a cool name for an artisan operation.
Pontiac Transport - I had new Minivan envy badly, when GM release a minivan it blew my mind.
Arby's - A life long exploration of Royal Crown Cola, Regular Roast Beefs and Homestyle fries. What exactly is Jamocha? I know... thanks to CHER.
Post Consumer Thoughts
Applying post modern ideas to post modern ideas becomes bleek and irrelevant quickly.
Everyone will be a post consumer soon.
People will only care about the actual product and possibly about the opinions of others and experts.
This group of people and communities will be a good source for a new iteration of the Unique Selling Proposition.
Advertising will continue to lose its effectiveness unless it sees itself as yet another source of possible information in a network of sources of information.
This will be difficult for the traditional heirarchical models to reckon.
Small, responsive shops might stand a chance.
I believe that in 2042 computers will eventually be a liberating force (aggregated) instead of an oppressive force (aggregated) in our lives.
