FedEx Kinkos

I just saw this ad online for the first time. It is everything I’ve learned about cliché Super Bowl ads. It’s hysterical. I don’t if I could have truly understood the irony and humor had I not studied advertising at all. BBDO has done an excellent job for FedEx, which at first, would seem like a company that would not be all that exciting to work for.

Bush booed at 2008 Nationals home opener

I am so disgusted and angry that this happened. I can’t believe the lack of pride and rude behavior of these fans. They should be ashamed. The president of the United States is a person that we chose to lead us. The majority of the people in our country wanted him as our chief. It doesn’t matter if we all don’t agree with him. There should be a national pride and affect for the man. He is just a man. A lot of my disgust comes from the thought of how Bush felt while this was going on. Imagine being honored to come out and throw a baseball for a game, and having the people of your country boo at you. Baseball is supposed to be the great American sport. The fans and people there are supposed to represent great American people who are fans of this American past time. But they go and show complete disrespect and humiliation of our president. I can’t believe the nerve. It was completely rude and unnecessary in all respects. Most of those people wouldn’t have booed if they knew the president could see them doing it.

Final Four is Here and Money is on The Line.

March madness is coming to an end and the final four have made it to the semifinals. American basketball fans and players live for this time of the year. Many of my friends have put money on their favorite teams. I don’t understand the fun in the betting process. The men that I have been around who have money on the games have to sit through the whole game wondering whether they will ever see their money again. The people that have placed bets are not necessarily the wealthiest people. They can’t afford to put a few grand on the line, but they do it anyways. The only justification for the madness is the possibility that they might win big in the end. The problem is, the chance of predicting who will win the whole tournament is really unlikely. Teams are prone to upsets in the playoffs. For this, it is way too stressful and risky for me. I will never be a gambler. Watching money being taken from me with the chance of no return is all around frightening.

Showering is Wasting away my Life

I work out just about every day. I feel gross after my workouts so I shower. I still shower every day when I haven't worked out because I'm so used to doing it most days, it doesn't feel right to skip a day. Sometimes the last thing I want to do is get in the shower. I hate it because it takes so long and it would just be easier if I could instantly be fresh and clean. I figured out how much of my life showering is really taking.

On average, a shower takes me about 18 minutes. This includes shampooing, sometimes conditioning, soaping, shaving, and washing my face. This doesn't include the time it takes to dry off, apply lotion, and clean ears. This means that I spend 540 minutes a month, or 9 hours a month in the tub. With this, I figured out that I spend 6480 minutes, or 108 hours, or 4.5 days a year in the shower. Four and a half days of every year of my life have been in the shower. 90 days!

Not to mention, most of the time I blow dry my hair right after my shower. It turns out that blow drying takes up at least 2.5 days of my year. I could be making substantial changes in the world during this time.

The Closest Ones to Me

I've realized in the past couple weeks that the people that truly love me always will. I have gotten in the habit of taking this all for granted. I find myself taking out all my frustration, anger, stress or pain out on the people who care about me the most. I have caught myself being outright mean to my mom and my boyfriend. It may not have even been them that got me in the bad mood. I know that I am doing it and I can't stop. I will start picking them apart and I will turn into a negative little witch. I'll bitch and complain about anything. I don't know how they can be around me when I am being that way. It's really just a matter of loving me for all of me. There aren't that many people that I can say have put up with all of me. I am thankful that they still love me but I hope this habit doesn't turn against me before I can fix it.
