Wow, I never knew you could buy children over the internet.
9. Do you drink?

Hillshire Farms Rant
You may have seen the following commercial before. It is very prevelant on Hulu.com, If you haven't seen it, watch it below now.
Watch it? Good. That leads me too...
100 Reasons Why This Commercial Is Stupid by Justin Rose
1. The kid would get sent to the principals office for standing on the table.
2. No lunch table at an elementary school is that diverse. Little kids are inherent racists. You know it's true.
3. A pudding cup does not hold more value in lunchtime bartering than a bag of cookies. I know this from experience. Every kid had a pudding cup. They go for like a nickel each at Walmart nowadays.
4. No little girl alive would trade a pony for a sandwich.
5. No little boy alive would trade a sandwich for a pony. He'd be teased to no end.
6. No asian kid that looks THAT shrewd would trade all of his Halloween candy for a sandwich. He'd invest it in his 401K. Or fatten up for sumo wrestling.
7. YouTube Commenter Observation (Screen name IUDFR): "Wut the hell he gonna do with a pony."
8. No little kid could eat that sandwich. It's taller than they are wide.
9. YouTube Commenter Observation (Screen name PGHAUNG1): "It is the big chinese boy that has eaten all the ham that made him bigger and cuter. His strong arms and big cheeks show why he loves the meat."
Okay that wasn't really a reason it was stupid, but I found it hilarious.
10-100. NO LITTLE GIRL WOULD TRADE A PONY FOR A SANDWICH.

Words Of Wisdom-ish
Some thoughts I had recently.
1. I don't think there's anything harder in the world than admitting to yourself that you've lost a friend.
2. I find it funny how excited people are to reinvent themselves when they move to a new place. I find it sad they can't see that they're just fine the way they are.
3. As a kid I always dreamed of being a star athlete. I know now that I'd much rather play pick-up soccer with friends on a lazy Sunday afternoon than play in a Super Bowl.
4. I'm almost 19 now. Adults ask me all the time, "What do you want to major in?" or "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I used to tell them I wanted to be a writer, or a lawyer like my Dad, because it sounded better than saying, "I don't know." But I don't think you can know what you want to be at this age, really. You haven't experienced enough.
5. I think people gossip because they don't think they can be good unless someone is worse.
6. In my experience, the people that give the best hugs are the people that only give them when they know you need one.
7. Try to be the best person you can be every day. Don't use your energy to convince people that you're a good person. People will think what they will. You got to live your life so that you're proud of yourself.

How To Survive An Bear Attack
Bears are scary. They live in the woods, have a lot of teeth, and are just generally unfriendly animals. The exception being Smokey The Bear, who is quite polite despite being a little confrontational. Anyway, if a bear were to attack you, what would you do?
That's the question which was posed to a Montana woman the other day, as she watched her dog get mauled by a 200 pound black bear that had wandered into her yard (full story here).
So what did she do?
She threw a zucchini at it. A 12-inch zucchini, to be percise. It hit the bear on square on the head, and it fled from the scene. Neither the woman nor her dog were harmed.
This proves something about life, I'm just not sure what.
