Police

I drive a solid amount to work and back 5 days a week. I interact with a lot of drivers on the road each day, some good and a lot terrible. Either the speed limits need to be upgraded/changed or there need to be more police on the road to monitor and crush the speeders and over aggressive drivers. There are way to many drivers tailgating and cutting off yours truly on the road. It makes me seriously consider becoming an officer so I can bring justice to the road.

Is it really necessary to pass to the right of me only to get one car ahead? This situation occurs everyday, never fails. May its a personal problem?

Marketing Lies

10 bucks for 10 pieces of chicken. This is not a good deal KFC. Americans are smarter than ever when it comes to spending money. We are seeing new "deals" everyday through commercials, billboards, and in stores ads. Some of them are good, but they are not heavily advertised. 10 bucks for 10 pieces of chicken is one. The average American will never spend as much money as it did in the 1990's and early 2000's because we are now aware that our jobs could disappear in an instant. Unfortunately we will continue to see ads offering deals such as KFC's chicken bucket. It really is not a deal, just a clever way to word a promotion to make it seem like you are getting a nice deal. My fellow Americans... don't fall for bad marketing.

Kid Voices

Every time I hear a kid voice advertising on the radio I am forever reminded of those annoying Subway commercials. Even when it is legitimately children advertising for a company I can't help but think it is a joke. Those Subway commercials are so annoying portraying adults as childish and whiny when a colleague has something they want but cannot have (Subway). So although Subway now has the most food outlets in the world, they also have some of the worst ad campaigns.

Triple U

My advice to the world... do not get drunk. I am tired of the negative effects of alcohol which far outnumber the good. You might think this is coming from a person hung-over from the previous night. That is incorrect, it is coming from a person sick of dealing with friends who cannot make wise choices when consuming beverages with alcohol.

Journaling

The best way to learn from yourself is to write about yourself in a daily journal. Writing out four sentences about your day is a great practice. The daily things that a person does are interesting and often hilarious. I began journaling in December of 2009. I hesitantly but honestly tell you I have done a terrible job of writing everyday. The times that I do, however, I'm extremely grateful for because I look back and know what I did, good or bad. I know from journaling that I still make the same mistakes, just not as often. It has helped improve myself, seriously. It's never too late for a New Years resolution. I'm looking forward to reading what I am doing now in 10 years. Makes sense right?

Lets Be Honest

How many times have you heard fast-food companies describe the products in their food as "All Natural."? The answer most certainly is too many. What does it mean? To put it simply, nothing! The terms "Natural Foods" and "All Natural Foods" have no legal definition. The next time you are looking for a truly natural product, check to see if it is USDA organic. Lets be honest and not try and trick the customer, sound good?

RED

When you see the color red what comes to mind? The first thing you think of has emotional attachment to you. It could be your favorite shirt, favorite cola (coke), or your favorite bands album cover... you might also think of something hot. Random examples yes, but hopefully they show you how powerful color is to each human being. Red is the hottest of the warm colors, which, means it has powerful meaning. When human’s get angry or embarrassed often times their faces grow red. Emotions get the best of us and cause our blood to pump a little faster. It can give away how we are feeling. Most often the color red shows power. This is one of the few reasons why it is on the flags of so many different countries. Red it an attention grabber; showing dominance and power. It is also a color that shows love. Next time you are in a need of a new color for you wardrobe, think about red.
