I am an adult, really

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Welcome back!

I look in the mirror and think, “I am an adult, really.” However, I still see a zit staring back at me.

I thought that type of thing would stop when my teenage years were gone. NOPE. it hasn’t. It makes me think of all that people go through for acne treatment, and for a while I was thankful that i didn’t have that problem.

Now, I have a zit, again. It ain’t fair. I know that it is life, but it ain’t fair. My van looks like it has had trouble with zits. A little sanding and a paint job would take care of that for the van. People can’t be treated the same way, though. A zit. I have a zit.

Hey Advertisers

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Yes, it is time for me to gripe about advertising again.

I have a few favorite shows that I like to watch. It get me that I am watching the show, get into the mood of the show, the next thing that I hear and see involves LOUD noise, nonsense, and irritation.

That is not the way to sell items, ideas, opinions, whatever. The television networks used to say that the commercials were not at a different volume level. How wrong they still are. When you have to turn down the volume suddenly during a show, and when the show comes back on, turn the volume up again.

The sudden change in volume really kills the mood of the show. I do not like advertisers who do that, and it makes me decide NOT, I repeat, NOT,to buy their product. Isn’t that self defeating in the purpose of the commercial?
