Me? In Advertising? Maybe...

Hey All!
I know that know one reads this but I think I'm actually going to make an effort to keep up with this blog. Every few years I start a new journal or notebook and I keep up with it for a few weeks and then I either get too busy of I lose interest. So maybe if I am typing and not writing it I'll make more of an effort. Because frankly, I think every is more inclined to do something if it is easier.
I was watching youtube today and I am subscribed to the vlogbrothers and John Green (Who just happens to be one of my favorite authors) does videos every once in a while about current news stories and he had probably the most ingenious way to keep people interested in the news. His video today was about the 30 year civil war going to today in Sri Lanka, while interesting in itself, became even more appealing as he was applying creamy peanut butter all over his face while discussing it. Not only was it interesting to watch but I could see how it could captivate audiences who are more inclined to pass over a news story because it doesn't apply to them.
Who doesn't like a guy with peanut butter all over his face?
on other news, I have been listening to this podcast created by Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier. Now, I already love anything created by Kevin Smith (with the exception of Jersey Girl good try Kevin but not quite there.) but I find this podcast extremely interesting. It is basically an hour of Kevin and Mosier bullshitting about a whole range of topics, from clones to a kid from the make a wish foundation whose last wish is for Mosier to kill a homeless man. Every minute is interesting to hilarious.
All right, this post seems to just be a huge advert for Kevin Smith and John green. I promise I'm not in advertising. Although it does seem to be a natural career move for me at this point.
Also, I seem to write a lot more eloquently than I actually talk. I say Y'all and whatever much more than an average person should. However, at least I get my point across.
My first real blog. Let's see how this goes shall we?
