Every time I turn on the TV lately, I see this Nike commercial. It’s really no different than every other Nike commercial, except in the background, Rock And Roll Ain’t Noise Pollution by AC/DC plays.
I didn’t really notice the song until I found myself walking around all day singing, “Rock ‘n’ roll ain’t noise pollution. Rock ‘n’ roll ain’t gonna die”.
It was kind of awkward at first. Mainly because I couldn’t figure out why that song was in my head, and also because I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t get it out.
Apparently its ridiciously hard to get a song out of your head that you subconsciously hear 5 times a day. Who would have thought?
I saw this sign on the door of a gas station today that read, “New Year New You! Budweiser 12 pack bottles $9.59″.
I’m at a loss of words for what to say. However, I think I got the point of what I wanted to say to you.
*Update
I guess perhaps this wasn’t as clear as I thought it was. To clear things up, what I meant was, I thought it was extremely odd that the beer sign started with “New Year, New You!”. Generally when this expression is used it’s somehow for self-improvement. I thought that an add for beer on a sign that makes reference to self-improvement was kind of wrong. To me it said, “Make yourself better this year by drinking lots of beer”.
That’s what I thought would come off with this post.
Yesterday I woke up at 5:30 and got ready. I left my house at 6:20 and drove for an hour to get to work. I worked all day until 4:00. I then drove an hour back home. I had time to eat some cereal and change cloths before I left my house at 5:30 to go to class. I had class for three hours and then stayed an extra hour to work on some homework.
When I actually got home a little after 10:00 my brain was fried. I was totally worthless. All I could do was lie on the couch and watch some Tivo. After I dozed off a few times I finally went to bed at 11:30.
Talk about a sucky day.
I had a salad today for lunch. It was a decent salad but way over priced. I got it at a snoody grocery store by where I work. Their salad bar is set up so that you get charged you per pound. If your not careful and put a few too many pieces of fruit and some cottage cheese, you could end up paying $10 before you know it.
Although I’m getting close to being broke (Friday is payday) I didn’t really mind the price so much today. I was a little more perturbed at the lady in front of me at the salad bar. Apparently this had been her first trip to the salad bar, EVER. Well if not her first time, then pretty close to it. She honestly did not understand the concept of how the salad bar works. You start on the side with the lettuce and work your way down. It’s simple.
This lady however, was all over the place. She got her lettuce, moved down, got some mushrooms, came back up, got some carrots, move back down, got some cheese, moved back up, got some hard boiled eggs, etc. All the while, I’m standing next to her waiting for her to get out of my way.
I’m a salad bar pro in case you didn’t know.
Not having much time and being hungry I slowly started working my way down the bar every time she would move around to add something new to her salad. She eventually had to circle back around me to continue to fill up her salad THE WRONG WAY.
Sigh…
Sometimes being a gentleman kind of puts me at a disadvantage. Had I been a little less educated and not so nice I would have said something to that stupid woman, perhaps even kicked her in the ass just for good measure.
I’ve recently learned a few interesting things about google. These are some small things that might make you life easier.
For these to work just go to google, type what I have written, and enjoy the simplicity of it all.
Need a definition? Go to google and type:
define: any word you need defined.

Need a phone number? Go to google and type:
phonebook: whatever you need the number for followed by a city or at least state.

Need movie times? Go to google and type:
movie: your zip code

Did anyone actually find this helpful? If no, was it just too nerdy?
