My first accident.

At 5:53am this Thursday morning I experience my first accident. It is nothing I am proud of as I consider myself to be a very good driver. I was driving to work when I was attempting to switch lanes when a large SUV decided he wasn't going to let me in and be cut me off. Cut me off to the point where I had three choices; hit the guy in front of me, hit the guy cutting me off or hitting the brakes. I hit the brakes.

As I hit the brakes I slid out of control making first contact with a parking sign which knocked off my front bumper, then finally came to a stop as I found myself in my car which spun into the fence of a house right off of greenwood ave.

I guess I should be lucky that no other party was involved and that I wasn't physically harmed, but I am now carless until I find out what my car is worth to fix.

Moral of this story is to drive safe and it's better to get somewhere a little bit late rather than not getting there at all.

And by the way I hate this damn snow.

Leave Tiger Woods Alone

Earlier this morning I was watching ESPN as I regularly do in the afternoon, and saw Tiger Woods addressing the scandal betwen he, his wife and all the girls he had relations with. I couldn't help but think to myself, who cares?

We look at athletes as role models in this country, but why?They aren't out there saving the world or taking part in government issues, they are out there doing what they do best, competing as athletes in there sport. We put these athletes on pedestals, expecting them to never do anything wrong. We seem to forget they are people just like me and you and people do make mistakes. But unlike the everyday blue-collar worker these athletes face temptations, most likely on a daily basis.

With the media being the way it is today, with coverage on every little detail in peoples lives, the privacy will no longer be granted to these athletes. It's unfortunate.

What to do...Thousands of Feet in the Sky

I just recently booked my flight for Spring Break '10. Destination: Los Angeles. My 21st birthday is March 6th and my flight is for March 17th, so I will be able to go out legally while in LA to bars and have a few celebration drinks. I'm not a huge drinker by all means, I am more a social drinker than anything and enjoy a beer here and there, but I will take exception that weekend and party it up.

I'm faced with a dilemma though. I am a horrible flyer. I envy those people who could go on a plane and sleep the whole ride there. How do they do it? I have to be up and alert as to what is going on around me, but by being up the whole ride, it takes a lot longer. So I have recently started downloading some music for my 6 hour flight to LA, in hopes that it will but me at ease on my trip to LA, yet steadily move time along.

This past summer my sister, my mother and myself drove to Ontario, Canada for a wedding. In the car I downloaded the latest season of the HBO show Entourage on iTunes, to put on my iPhone which worked perfectly. The only bad thing about that, is the video takes up more battery than the audio does, so I don't want my phone dying midflight.

So I'm a pretty big music fan, mainly hip-hop, rock, alternative, and some country (Zac Brown Band) being my favorites. I have downloaded the Zac Brown Band cd "The Foundation", as well as all the Eminem CD's, since I lost them all except for "Encore". I also downloaded the Jay-Z pack, "The Blueprint Collection", to add to my music library. So it's safe to say I have about 1,200 songs on my iPhone. BUT I NEED MORE!!!!

If you guys want send me some suggestions of some good music and I will likely add it to my iPhone.

Super Bowl Sunday, Commercials or The Game Itslelf?

As we come closer to the biggest annual television event, The Super Bowl, the debate is brought up, are you watching it for the game or the commercials?





When multi-million dollar companies know the volume of an audience they're working with, it becomes a prime time to advertise. We have seen classic commercials on Super Bowl Sunday, the GoDaddy.com commercials, hilarious beer commercials, and there is always that one commercial that stirs up controversy, that everyone Monday morning is talking about. No other show or program on television gets viewers excited to see commercials, like the Super Bowl is able to do. And the price tag on these commercials is not chump change either. I believe the average price tag on a thirty second spot is a million plus. These commercials don't star the guy from the ShamWow commercials either, they usually have big names involved. I read on Yahoo! this morning, the 'The Situation', from the MTV show, The Jersey Shore, is in a commercial with Peyton Manning. Say what!? You're combining the biggest name in reality television in 2010 with the biggest name in the game on Super Sunday. You will never see a commercial like that during any single prime time show.

BUT, as an avid football fan, I am always going to look forward to the game and have the commercials act as just a plus to the game itself. When you think about it, the hype around this game is unlike any other sporting event. These players that will be playing for both the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts, dream about this game since they were little children playing in pee-wee football. Now, on this Sunday for 60 minutes, they will give every ounce of blood to win this ONE game. They know they will be playing in front of thousands at the stadium itself, plus the millions viewing at home, so the excitement will be there.





You also have arguably the best quarterback of all time in Peyton Manning, playing against the newer superstar in Drew Brees. Fireworks are bound to happen. The guy manning the scoreboard has to be ready as these teams, hopefully will light up the scoreboard. Those two guys alone are enough reason to tune in Sunday.

I believe the Colts are going to win because having Peyton Manning on the field is like having a coach out there. You give this guy a week and he tears apart defenses week in and week out. Now that he gets two weeks to figure out this weak Saints defense, it should be lights out for "Who Dat" nation. Although, I like the story behind the Saints with the whole Hurricane Katrina, and what a championship will do for that team, I feel as if they've accomplished enough on just making it there. Prediction: Colts 34 Saints 27. It'll be a damn good game.

So I'd like to know, what are you looking forward to more the game or the commercials?


Also, what are your favorite commercials from past Super Bowl Sundays?
