The Superbowl is the media's biggest day. Company's are paying millions of dollars to spend 30 seconds advertising their product. They come up with the most outragous and hilarious comercials for all of America to see. With it being the most watched event on television, it makes sense. Not many people watch the superbowl for the game anymore, it's more of a group of friends sitting around to watch comercials, which is something that every other day we hate seeing because its interupting our program. So what makes the superbowl the best time for the ads? Baseball and the world series have been around longer than the superbowl. Baseball is America's pastime. Yea football is the only major sport with a one game championship, so I guess I just answered my own question.
The people that only watch the big game only for the commercials are the people that bother me the most when watching it with my friends. Im actually interested in the game, so stop talking during the superbowl. It bugs the crap out of me when I can't hear what the commentators have to say. So, if your gonna watch the game for the commercials, don't ruin it for those who want to actually see and hear the biggest game in all of sports, the superbowl.

The best show ever!!
My all time favorite show is FRIENDS. I have all ten seasons on dvd and have seen every episode. It makes me laugh hard, and I have become addicted to it. When I say to people that my FRIENDS is my favorite show, they usually say that its a cool show or they just plain don't like it.
There is a character on the show that people who did watch the show associate me with. Joey. The funny, yet not so smart actor who loves food and women. Take out the actor and sleeping with women, and yea, I can see where they get it. Joey just happens to be my favorite character, so I think its awesome that I remind people of him.
What is so awesome about him besides the women and comedy, is that he is always there for his friends and willing to do anything for them, even though he might not totally get what the big picture is. I like to think that I am like that in a little way.
But overall, I strive to have a life like the characters in friends. I even try to put a little comedy from some of the episodes into conversations. Not just jokes, but facial expressions, movements, and sometimes undiscribable noises.
So the best show in the entire world has a hug impact on my life even though its been five years since the last show was aired. I know that I am not the only one affected by some kind of media. For some, its music. Others, its movies, internet, or books. But they all play a small part in who we are, especially in todays world. It has changed mankind. For better? I don't know, but that is something I see when I look at myself and FRIENDS. I see it with people I know and love that grew up in this media generation with me. They are all affected in some way, shape, or form from their favorite media. This is just an obervation that I had. But I could be wrong. Im just a Joey. Clueless, but always there to say something on his mind.

Lost
Why does ABC's tv show LOST interest me so much when I have more and more questions every episode. I believe its very intense but it confuses me sometimes, especially when I forgot things from last season that they reference to this season. I don't have a great memory at all, I am not a great thinker, and yet Im hooked to a show that makes me think a lot and recall different event from previous seasons. Crazy huh?
But thats life, especially my life. I am not good at football and other sports but I feel that I have a great passion for these things. Sometimes I can't talk real well yet Im a media communications major which requires clear speaking. Ive got to broadcast a Malone football game and will be doing some basketball games this year, and if I am not the greatest at these things and I know it, why do I love to do this things soo much. It makes me wonder if I am doing what God wants me to do with my life.
