What the Hell Does This Dream Mean???

Sorry for being so long. I haven't really been doing a whole lot lately except working. I haven't shot anything for my own personal enjoyment for a while either. Luckily I'm going to see Stephanie this weekend so I will probably shoot pictures of her or something this weekend. She got a new dog this week, but it looks like they're going to have to give it away already. His name is Hercules. He's a 1-2 year-old golden lab. Her dad picked him up from outside his friend Bruce's house. He's already snapped at Dana and Stephanie. The vet told them he was just trying to gain dominance over and that they should yell at him. Steph did yell at him and he cowered his tail between his legs. I'll probably get some photos of him this weekend.

I drank for the first time in probably 2 months last night. Obviously didn't take a lot for me to get pretty tanked. I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. I do have to see I'm pretty wierded out. This is the first time I can ever remember having a reoccuring dream. I've had this dream 4 times in the past 8 or 9 days. I always have a dream about me going out and getting drunk and the next thing I know I'm smoking again. I always say something to the effect of 'oh 1 cigarette won't hurt me.' It's actually got me freaked out. I haven't wanted to drink at all because I'm scared it will actually happen. Who knows, maybe the cigarette is actually representative of something completely different in my dreams. Who knows, maybe it means I'm gay. Wait...that's crabs...if there's crabs in my dreams that means I'm gay. Oh I need to find that dream book Dane Cook talks about.

Other than that, work is going good. I'm starting my photo essay with a student who works on a family farm this next week. The girl's name is Caitlin Allen. I'm excited to actually do this essay. I've never actually done an essay where I took longer than a couple of days to do it. This one should take me about 6 weeks. I'm also getting ready to post my ultimate fantasy league baseball team for 2006. As I tried to explain to Kman earlier, this team is based solely on numbers mostly. I have also been drafting what my personal fantasy team I would like to see in real life. Basically the difference is that in my personal team I would do things like choose Jason Varitek over Victor Martinez for catcher simply because Varitek is known as one of the smartest catchers out there. He analyzes each and every player on the roster. So things like experience count in to this one. It should be posted by Monday or Tuesday.

Superbowl Commercials

I actually did watch the Superbowl tonight, despite my lack of television watching for the past 3 weeks. I was glad to see Pittsburgh win. I don't really have any feelings for either team, but for some reason I just liked the Steelers a little more. I'm just glad football is done so we can all concentrate on the 'real' American sport. Baseball. Only 54 days until opening pitch.

I do have to give a run down on what I thought about the commercials during the game obviously. First of all, here's my top five in no particular order:
  1. Hummer Commercial: Giant Monsters
  2. Motoral Razor: Paper Boy
  3. Sprint: Locker Room
  4. Desperate Housewives
  5. Budweiser Superfan: Sheep Streaking
If you check out Ifilm you can watch all of them. It's obviously slow tonight and will probably be slow tomorrow because everyone and their mother will be checking it, including me, to play their favorites over and over again and assured they are wore out by the middle of the week and you won't even be able to stand the sight of it when you see it on tv the next week. Luckily for me I don't have network or cable.

Out of all of them I think the Sprint Locker Room one is my favorite. When the guy says his phone has theft deterrent and throws the phone in the other guys face I lost it. And then when he threw it a second time I literally pissed myself. (Just a little something for all you David Cross fans. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, go get David Cross' first cd 'Shut Up You Fuckin' Baby').

I do have to say this was the most disappointing Burger King commercial I have seen in awhile. I'm a big fan of the King. There just wasn't anything funny about the singing commercial. I hate musicals which is probably what prompted me to hate this commercial.

Sprint takes the cake for me for overall best sponsor this year. The other commercial they had where the guys couch catches fire was my number 6 commercial. (Mostly because of the Benny Hill incorporation). Anyone that hung out with me this summer knows that I had an obsession with the Benny Hill theme song.

Although Pepsi's commercials were moderately good, I hate their new "Brown and Bubbly" slogan. The P.Diddy Commercial was okay, but the Jackie Chan one was too cheesy. Well, time for you to give me feedback. Give me your top 5. Or criticize mine. Anything you want to do.

One last thing...I apparently missed a Coca Cola commercial on a bathroom break. The scarecrow one should be in my top 5, moving Sprint's no. 6 to no. 7 and kicking Desperate Housewives to no. 6 and therefore out of the top 5. So to review:

  1. Hummer Commercial: Giant Monsters
  2. Motoral Razor: Paper Boy
  3. Sprint: Locker Room
  4. Coca Cola: Scarecrow
  5. Budweiser Superfan: Sheep Streaking
There's my revised top 5.
