Job hunting... Everyone has done it, everyone has struggled with it; or at least you should at some point. I don't say that to be mean, but there is something about looking for work that is different than working itself. There's the extra stress in addition to the things that you have going on in your own life that I believe motivates you to try to find more work. You look for the different things that you know you are able to do but you also get rather upset in the fact that you aren't being picked up. I am currently trying to find new work (if you haven't already figured that out) and it is driving me a bit nuts since I am applying constantly and... Nothing. However, I still believe that you should have that time of looking without finding anything. I have the background, the picture, the samples, and all those things put together but it's still difficult.
There is a lot of talk about the Superbowl and Chris Evans vs Chris Pratt. I am very impressed with their personalities and how even though The Patriots won, Chris Evans is going with Chris Pratt to Chris Haven in Mass, and they are also going to Children's Hospital in Seattle. I think it shows the integrity of both of them and I am really impressed with them both.
I'm still trying to get back in the groove of writing a blog again. Writing an ad or a report or anything along those lines and I'm fine, sharing my thoughts out loud is entirely different.

It has been quite a while since I have done anything blog related so I figured starting up again would be beneficial. I think it is also a pretty good time since last night was the Superbowl which is without a doubt the biggest time of year for commercials. However, I heard on the radio this morning that for a single :30 second spot it was 4.5 MILLION DOLLARS! That computes to 150,000 per second. One second of airtime would pay off all of my bills which would be fanTASTIC! It was a year that a lot of people are saying was a flop in regards to the ads. Go Daddy got a lot of flack due to their first ad they put up online which was this puppy that the woman said she just sold. There was another one for First Bank being able to transfer money to another person without an ATM but it made it so this little boy couldn't get the puppy in the back of a truck. There was one for Fiat that also had viagra worked into it that is being called awful but I thought it was rather amusing. I had to turn away the TV since about a quarter of the ads were for The Blacklist which isn't really something my three year old son should be watching.
Now, I know a lot of people just watch for the commercials but if you watched the game it was really good! I am a Patriots fan so in the second half I was getting kindof down until the Pats got a touchdown to bring it up over the Seahawks. They would have lost it if Butler hadn't gotten that interception however but it was a close game. Not sure I entirely agree with giving Brady the MVP but he did get four touchdowns, I just think it should have gone to Gronkowski or Edelman but I will get over it. It was a little interesting however since my son wanted The Seahawks to win and was very upset when they didn't but I think he took it as well as he could have.
Below is the link to all of the ads from this year's superbowl.

That is really all that is going on currently, but hopefully I can keep up with this.
