I think way to much....
Current Obsession: City Of Villians.....LOVE this MMORPG. Come on...it's so much fun being a bad guy...ah...girl...a bad girl. lol Fully customizable and you get a costume...I look like an evil Ulala and it's fantabolous. Yeah you heard me....FANTABOLOUS!
Currently trying to beat: Destroy all humans. I'm about halfway through. Amazing game though. I can't wait for the second one. Hysterical...think Mars Attacks meets Jack Nicholson. I also still have to beat ICO. If the last boss level wasn't just so damn hard. Then I can play Shadow of the collosus. That counts for MGS 2. Before any puking and Snake banana action happens I still need to see Naked Ryden dammit.
Excited about: Other than Snakes on a plane? Trailer Park Boys: the movie. I need this damn movie to come out in the states. I need to see the continuous story of a man and his love of pepperoni. Oh...and Bubbles on the big screen is just WAY to cool. Randy on the big screen....not so much.
Listening to: Jazz... I've been going through such a Jazz kick. Ella Fitzgerald, Glenn Miller...etc. I dunno. that'll probably change next week but for right now I can't get enough of it. Also the Jersey Boys soundtrack.
Funniest story of the week: I'm going to hell...a nun tried to cut in line and when I pointed that out to her she looked at me and was like.."But I'm a nun" when i refused to allow her to cut she huffed and said "you much not be Catholic" to which I laughed (12 years of catholic school thank you very much) and she left the store saying "That's ok...God looks after his own" So she wants to cut the line and I'm going to hell. Oh well...
Worst saddest moment: Kid around the age of 10 walks into the music department and askes me if we had Green Day cd's. I took him over to the section and asked him which one he was looking for. He told me that he was looking for their first cd, Dookie. I handed it too him and then realized that I actually remember when that cd was released. Not only that I remember when the cd's before that were released...their indie stuff......God I feel old.....
I've come across a quandry..
I was watching TV (that's always a great way to have a story started....."I was watching tv one day"...At least I didn't start with "I was drinking the other day and I got to thinkin..." that's when you know to run) and I realized something. Why are mundane items advertised? I can understand if something is new and improved or if the company has put out a new item. I can understand advertising that so that people will know these new products. But I can't get it through my head commercials for things like toilet paper and toothpaste. I don't know about anyone else but I think that there doesn't seem to be brand loyalty anymore like there was in times gone by. At one time brands actually ment something and people were very strict about what they bought. I think nowadays more than anything people will buy what's on sale moreso than what brand is there or what product had the coolest commercial, at least for daily inconsequential household items.
If that's the case why don't companies advertise how much cheeper they are than the compitition? And even if, for example, there is brand loyalty (I myself to indeed fall prey to this...colgate is the only toothpaste in my bathroom and ketchup and mayo of course will always be Heinzs and Hellmans) why do you need commercials? Are the people that are on the fence about their products that numerous? I would think that I don't need to know about Colgate or any other brand that might exists because more than likely I'm gonna buy Colgate anyway. Now don't get me wrong. I love the commercials for snickers, Milkey Way (Why so blue Panda Bear?) and the new Sprite but it's not gonna change my mind when I'm in the mood for a Pepsi. I'm not gonna suddenly start buying sprite because their commercials were cool. Hell I'm gonna keep buying RC of course! Mwhahaha Soda companies...you forgot about that brand didn't you? No one advertises RC cola anymore and yet I buy it because I like it the best. No other commercial is gonna make me curious if I'm not in the mood for it. That goes with candy too. I know what Snickers taste like. Or Twix. If i'm in the mood for either of those I will eat them reguardless of their commercials. The point is that for mundane things a commercial will not change my mind. So why waste the expensive airspace for it?
I think I'm more of a psych major than i like to let on....I'm so damn jaded...
