A few of my favorite things

Actually, one of the many things I strongly dislike are commercials. I will admit that I watch way too much tv, and most of it is trash, but I feel that I need to keep up with my celebrities. I am no where near the level of Perez Hilton, but I do admit that it would be a dream job to blog about celebrities and actually be famous because of that. (Dear Perez, SHOULD you happen to come across my blog, do you need an intern or assistant? I'll be greedy and let you know this upfront: I won't be doing the work for free, but really any salary would be appreciated. Shift-comma-3 Megan).

Back to the topic, which I never actually got into yet before I went off on a kajillion tangents. The thing I hate most about tv is the amount of commercials. Since when is it ever acceptable for a person to have to flip to their 8th station of choice to actually find anything BUT a commercial on tv. Thanks heavens for DVR because these days I just don't know how I would survive, but I do have a few commercials that are faves of mine:

1.) ipad

I just love the music. Unfortunately, this snipppet does not show the person playing about the piano notes on the ipad, but one day I am going to sit down at my piano and learn that song. I play close attention to this commercial, and I know which notes to play, so I don't think it will be too hard.

2.) Reebok Easy Tone

also love the music (song: Mickey Smid "Shake It Up"). I just think it's such a catchy little tune. I also think in real life I would get along with the characters of the commercial because I LOVE having dance parties by myself in the middle of the day no matter if I'm on the beach, at work, on the phone with my friends! I just love to dance!

And... just so you all know here is the commercial I hate:

It's just so stupid. Dropping your shoes is not at all dependent on how fast it takes an app to download on your phone. Also, you should note that the dance directors are right in front of the girl without the iphone when she drops her shoes, so I think they could have easily taken note of her dropping something. Also, it would probably be more likely that the girl without the iphone WOULD land the spot after her audtion because she auditioned at a less prestigious company. Ballet technique is not at all dependent on how fast it takes an app to download on your phone. Also, I can sympathize with the woman in the audience wishing SHE was the dancer on stage. The dance world is a very hard world to break into, it takes years of training, and natural talent, and every dancer wishes she could be principal. So really this commercial is just plain stupid because few can relate to the main character and really none of that shit that happened is dependent on how fast it take an app to download on your phone.

So merry christmas and sorry if you're confused by my ramblings, but hey the blog ain't called Real Life Ramblings for nothing!
