Listening to Kanye West always makes me feel better about how my life is going. Knowing what he went through and where he is today keeps me optimistic, even when I feel I will never find a job. His new video for “Good Morning” is living proof of the battle to get where you want to be in life. Check it out.

It really hit me today that summer is drawing to an end, as I noticed how little sunlight remained at 7pm. I immediately felt kind of depressed. After all, summertime is my favorite time of the year. But with fall approaching, I do have plenty to look forward to. Hoodie and bonfire weather brings a nice relief to the swealtering summer heat (although this summer hasn’t been too bad). I’m also looking forward to visiting pumpkin farms, Halloween and the changing colors. On the sports front, the Cubs will be finishing off their season and hopefully win the World Series, football season returns, and the Blackhawks will finally have all their games on TV.
I’m hoping a new season brings some new luck, mostly in the form of getting hired. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed having the whole summer to just working part-time with my Dad and living it up as much as possible. But I desperately want (and need) to get hired and start my career and the rest of my life. Let’s hope my unemployment status will fall like the leaves on the trees.

As one amazing Olympics has come to a close, I am focusing on the potential of another amazing Olympic games- right here in Chicago. I’m going to be volunteering in upcoming events representing the Chicago 2016 bid, and hopefully will get to volunteer some time as a marketing communications volunteer. There are a lot of concerns if Chicago gets the games, such as higher taxes- but I think the overall benefit for the city will far outweigh the few negatives. I think the Beijing games are proof of that.
First up, the Nike Human Race this Sunday!

As my own homage to the Olympic games, I present my limited edition Olympic branding of BrandonZeman.com. Why ‘Gold Medal Good?’ Well, that really relates to my job hunt efforts and confidence that I have the skills and desire to be the best. Now I just have to make it on the team!
Just to be sure, the images used are from the Official site of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. They are in no way being used to make money.

Finally getting up the pics I was able to take Sunday at the Dave Matthews Band concert at Alpine Valley. This was my first Dave concert, and despite annoying and drunk high school kids and the constant smell of pot, it was an amazing time.
