"say what you want to say. say what you need to say..." ~ john mayer

i've been told i should write a blog. this is me writing a blog - mostly about nothing. well...at least nothing that's mind-blowing or life-changing. furthermore, there are no rules and no limitations to this blog. lawd only knows i've never been a rule follower! i suppose in some ways that this is my opportunity to just say what it is i want and need to say, and for those of you who know me best...i'm probably not going to apologize for it.

if you've ever just wanted to unload, vent, bitch, moan and whine about life and how much it sucks kaka, and not care to be judged while just putting your feelings out there...here's your chance. or perhaps you want to tell everyone what blows your hair back and what a great day it is to be alive...bring it on! (i haven't always been a pessimist)! wink-wink. nudge-nudge. so read on my fellow bloggers!

It's NOT All in the Packaging

don't think i don't understand or realize how trivial it is to bitch about commercials but anyone who knows my television viewing habits knows how much i absolutely friggin' HATE them! and yes, i do realize i'm a victim of such wretched commercials only by my own choosing but i shit you not, when it's commercial time i flip the channel, mute the television or take the opportunity to run to the bathroom, grab another beer, whatever. in fact, my ex informed me that i was the only person he knew that watched two or three television shows simultaneously. (and i'm not talking about picture in picture). but i so loathe commercials that this is why i developed the habit of watching multiple television shows concurrently. also, another reason why i idolize the inventor of the dvr! gawd love ya'! i am completely at loss without mine. boo for me.

commercials are LAME. just in case you haven't had the pleasure of seeing kotex's latest and greatest advertisements, let me take the time to educate you. apparently, kotex is now attempting to convince the world that tampons are cute. or at least the packaging is. WTF. seriously?! go fuck yourselves, kotex. tampons are not cute and it doesn't matter what kind of package they come in...we still know that there's a fucking tampon in there and the frivolous wrapper that they come in is not deceiving anyone. not anyone over the age of four anyway. i don't really fucking care what the wrapper looks like, i see it for about two seconds before it goes straight into the garbage. so quit wasting your money on making tampon wrappers cute and advertising that they are cute because they're not.

here's an analogy if it helps. putting prada on the fugly little, hairy elf thing or whatever the hell it is from "lord of the rings" does not make it cute. clothing amy winehouse in vera wang does not make her cute. think of the ugliest person you know. put the most stinkin' adorable, red patent leather dolce & gabbana handbag over their head. we know that the person hiding in the hot ass bag is still fugly. now put a paperbag over their head. guess what?! still ugly. do these ugly people still serve some utility in life? probably. (i don't know the ugly person you're thinking of). my point is that kotex, tampax and every other delusional tampon-making company should just even stop with all the bells and whistles when it comes to the packaging. cause no one really fucking cares. making a tampon wrapper cute doesn't solve all the other issues involved when it comes to being in misery, (however often that occurs for every individual woman). so unless the tampons come with free alcohol don't even try to market to me anything other than the fact that they're just tampons.

again. i hate commercials. and stupid asinine kotex tampon commercials that tout how cute tampons are, only furthers my point about how fucking ridiculous and idiotic commercials are. again. i miss my dvr. gawd! break-ups suck. (he got to keep his dvr and i got stuck with basic cable). guess i should put down the vodka and invest in the dvr package with the shitty cable company.
