SuperBowl Commercial = Super Let Down

For as long as I can remember the Super Bowl was about football, and of course the 2.5 million dollar commercials. However, the past few years have been of dissapointment, the football games and commercials. In hopes of a new year, and possibly new commericals I was hopeful for all of this hype as a turn around for the once famous 30 second spot during the Super Bowl.

While eating my riblets and sipping on a Mountain Dew watching the Colts burry the Bears, I was not entertained by the commercials once again. Nonetheless, there were a few in which I manged to laugh outloud to.

It just goes to show that "normal" people, like you and me, who have just as creative ideas as those making six figure salaries can create a commercial and connect with people. Doritos was one of those companies who took the challenge into the public, and produced a quite entertaining commercial. Chevy also produced a car commercial, which was the college student winner, and I think that was my favorite of them all. But I have to give credit to the dot.com website, Career Builders.com, for their creative comparison of "surviving the work week." Sometimes you just have to go out to that far limb, and I think that is what they did. They succeeded in me being anbe to remember the name of the site, as well as what the slogan was. So props to them.

Regardless of the poor commercials, I was still happy that the Colts finally won a SuperBowl, that the first African Amercian NFL coach has won a SuperBowl and we are making strides as to take our own peers creativity and put it to the test during one of the most watched hours of television.

Juice Cleanse

As promised, here is my blog post on how my 1-day juice cleanse went. I know, it's a little late, but my school schedule has been crazy...and it was Grape Stomp this past weekend. To say I'm a little exhausted is an understatement. But regardless, I'm back at it, tackling another week, and doing another cleanse as we speak. As a disclaimer, I did this cleanse on my own and was not compensated for doing the cleanse. I am not being compensated for my review of the cleanse. The reason I wanted to do the cleanse was for one, just to try it out. My other reason was the fact that I've been stuck at the same number on the scale for almost a year. It hasn't changed at all, regardless of all my changes. Even with my exercise this summer, it hasn't fluctuated much. I also wanted to see if by doing a cleanse would help reduce some of my headaches. Lately, they have been getting out of control again. I had read a little bit on how to prepare for the cleanse by eating mo...

Serial Swiper

In the world of online dating it is a swipe left or swipe right. Swipe right means you're interested, and a swipe left means no thanks. We all judge. We judge based on pictures posted to a profile. We judge based on the information provided in a profile, or lack there of. We judge on their height, their profession, and sometimes whether they have any pictures of themselves without sunglasses or a hat on! Right now, I'm a serial swiper.  I've been open to dating and dating for at least six months now, but only got online with the famous dating apps a few weeks ago; Tinder and Bumble. Maybe I'm really still old school about how dating should be, but I feel like if you "match" with someone, the guy should be the first one to reach out and initiate a conversation. Now, if you are unfamiliar with some dating apps, there is an app Bumble, where if you match with someone, the female has to make the initial contact. However, after that initial contact, I still think t...

USHL and NAHL Faceoff

This is my first story- and one of three about sports. Enjoy...... USHL & NAHL Face-off Ice, snow, and blustering winds don’t keep these fans away from a hockey game. SUVs, trucks, and mini-vans of all sorts fill the parking lot. A line of 50 people stretches from the ticket window out to the sidewalk. It’s game time at the Coliseum, for the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. But the Force is coming into town, and plans to heat things up. Hockey isn’t something new to the Fargo-Moorhead area. From little mites to hockey elites, this town is filled with hockey. Currently, Fargo is the host to the North American Hockey League team known as the Fargo-Moorhead Jets. With the new Urban Plains facility planning to open its doors for the 2008 season, many people worry the Jets are going to be grounded. The Urban Plains Facility will be the home to the Force, a United States Hockey team elite tier 1 team, will likely blockade the hopes of the Jets continuing next season. T...
