"A snob is anybody who takes a small part of you and uses it to come to a complete vision of who you are. That is snobbery. And the dominant form of snobbery that exists today is job snobbery — you encounter it within minutes at a party when you get asked that famous, iconic question of the 21st century: ‘What do you do?’ The opposite of a snob is your mother."

My name is Rob Gould. I'm a single, urban dwelling Gen X ad geek. I'm a new media junky and an art world dabbler with a considerable appetite for news and pop culture in all forms. I like to talk. Some people like me. My personal house of urban angst currently migrates between Portland, ME & NYC but has traveled with me over the years to Boston, Burlington VT, London, San Diego, Rockland, ME & Santa Fe. Much like a Gulfstream with tasteful decor and a vast insecurity complex. You can find me on Twitter @bobbbyg. You can also find the professional (and very serious) me at www.bobbbyg.com.
