This semester I'm taking a prerequisite class (for the advertising sequence) called "curiousness". Fortunately for me, well kind of, the actual creator of the class happens to be my instructor. His name is Mark Fenske. When I first saw this guy, I thought it was a joke that he actually worked in the ad business due to his appearance and his Jim Belushi-like stature. And yes, he looks just like Belushi. But I was quick to learn that appearance really doesn't matter over quality of work, whether past or present. I'm about four weeks into school and the fourth week taking his class (every Tuesday) and almost half of the class has been called out, whether be it humiliated or asked to stand in front of the 150 students and get bombarded with personal questions. I'm still waiting on my turn. He says it's good for you...and I believe him. Today in class he gave out his website, or more-so a blog, markfenske.com to the class in which I just got finished looking at. I was pleasantly surprised. It's really nice to find out that one of your instructors has been in the business for years. There's nothing better to learn from then that. I delved into his writings about advertising on his blog and was impressed that so much insight, and witty writing i'm gonna add, came out of this guy. Apparently he's a big deal in the ad world. Shit, just google the name Mark Fenske and you'll know what i'm talking about. Yes, again, he's the Jim Belushi looking guy. To conclude this ego ebullition on Fenske, I just want to state out that for the first time, in a long time, I can easily say I am truly inspired...and by a teacher of all things.
