The newspaper

i think it is sad that the newspaper is slowly falling away. i prefer to read out of the newspaper than online. i am online more but when i am online i don't usually check the news that often. i like to look through the news paper and find out what is going on. also, what is in the newspaper is usually more interesting because online they have every single that happening in the world and i'm not always interested in that. i also dont like when the paper tells me to go online to read the rest of the story. i hate that! it's like reading a really good book and finding out the last pages are missing. it's so frustrating! i would love to see the newspaper take another run but sadly, it's probably not going to happen.

Target

i love target. they have a bunch of cool nic-nacs. they have a good selection of things and interesting things to look at. i think one of the other reasons i love it is because they have a lot of red and i love the color red. interestingly, target sells more giftcards than anyother company. i find that surprising since you would think places like wal-mart, malls, or best buy would sell more because people go there a lot after the holidays.

Wal-mart

grrr! i hate wal-mart. it is a terrible place. i hate walking in it because it always feels dirty and the people there are just plain, well, weird. i always get a weird feeling that i cant explain when i walk inside. i hate the fact that they are killing american jobs by shipping the jobs overseas just so they can make money. also, they sell everything so low and people don't make enough money that they have to go there. it's sad that they do this. their stores are too big too. everythings all of the place and it stinks going there because you go to look at a couple things and end up having to walk everywhere and try to find it. i try to avoid going to walmart whenever i can.

Shopping Carts

I work at Kroger and am a bagger. i like the idea of shopping carts but they are no fun to push. it is hard work. for some reason, we are not allowed to use an automatic cart pusher so we do it by ourselves. it is also no fun to do when it is freezing cold out. the thing i hate the most is when people leave them far out in the lot or when they leave them in between cars instead of putting them in the corrals. i mean is it really that hard to walk 10 feet to put it in a corral. i dont think so. it's also no fun when people just keep handing them to you when you walk by and already are pushing about 9 or 10. it gets tough pushing them once you reach about 8 carts. hopefully people will figure out what to do with their carts but in the mean time we must live with what they do.

Warped Tour

I'm sitting here anxiously waiting for Friday to be here so i can find out the bands for this years warped tour. every year hundreds of people go out during the summer and go see many bands all day. it is a lot of fun and there are always cool things they have to do on the side. it's fun going to see your favorite band and being around a bunch of people that are all pushing to get closer. warped was started in 1995 and featured a lot of punk and ska bands. it has recently kept ska bands but has added a lot of hardcore bands. it was started by Vans, a extreme sports gear maker.

Bejeweled!

I have recently become addicted to Bejeweled. It is a puzzle game that you put 3, 4 or 5 jewels in a row and they all make different amount of points and special abilities. You can play it on popcap games our there is a facebook version. the facebook version allows you to compare and beat friends' scores. it's more addicting for the fact of just getting a high score rather than beating friends. i have found myself sitting here playing it longer than i had expected. it is a good time passing game.

Green Zone

I am so excited for this movie. I love Matt Damon and the makers of the Bourne movies are excellent as well. Matt damon seems to be taking on a lot of roles and he has been fulfilling them successfully. He is a very good action actor in my opinion. He is very good in the Bourne movies and i like that they use real action rather than green screen when shooting.

Twilight.. no thanks.

I hate Twilight. Everyone was talking about it a few weeks ago. i'm glad they've stopped. they were so annoying! i don't see how people can like it, especially guys. i guess it is aimed towards girls, but i don't see it being better than a lot of the movies that are for both genders, especially comedy's. also, Edward is NOT attractive at all. i don't see how people think he is. new movies that are coming out are going to be a lot better than this. people shouldn't waste their money on them.

Lego Advertisement

I like this advertisement because it sort of symbolizes what Lego stands for. They make toys that kids build things with and using this style of advertising can push there point across. this advertisement would catch peoples eyes. i think it is very cool and Also, every kid grew up with Lego's. It was one of the many things kids loved to play with. Every kid wanted to make the biggest random looking thing they could or recreate a real life object. They have expanded their horizons and now have different types of movie themed creations out.

Hot Wheels

Every kid loved having toy cars. To me Hot Wheels were the best. My brother and I had a huge collection and always played with them. We used to love going to the store and looking at all the new ones. The most expensive one that someone bought was $70,000. It is interesting how they make them. They use the blueprints for the real cars and then give the blueprints back to the car maker and then use their observations to make the actual car to 1/64 scale. Mattel, who owns Hot Wheels, bought the rights to Matchbox in 1996 and became the biggest Die cast car maker.
