Show me the money

Have had some random thoughts recently, and with an additional withdrawal from video games, just got me thinking. Why can't all commercials be this awesome?

Firstly, is Kevin Butler, imaginary VP of everything awesome dealing with the Playstation. All I have to say is it is the best campaigning for anything ever. The rest will speak for itself.

Part 2

And for reasons with no connections at all (except for being a hilarious commercial), Dead Space has been dubbed the scariest game of all time, and, as shown, your mom would hate it.

Guess my only point is, why can't all commercials be this awesome?

Thanks for indulging me.

Three Little Birds

So....I'm going to be honest, here. I'm going with the only idea i've had thus far in the past week for this paper half-heartedly, knowing it may fail completely. But, it's what i have, so here it goes.

The idea that I've stuck with is essentially optimism, or more of the lack of it in the world around us today. People today are, simply put, generally unhappy. My argument is essentially that yes, many people have many reasons to be unhappy, i believe that every person can find even more reasons to be happy that to be down with the doom and gloom.

Some potential view points are: that people often compare themselves to those better off than them, causing pessimism, while simply being content with that which you do have can bring even more happiness than those who do have more. Another viewpoint is that the media often says to us what we need or need to do in order to be truly happy. Although following can be quite appealing and enticing, often times you'll find yourself even further from "true happiness", where you were originally aspiring to be.  viewpoint may be  sound pretty broad, but just looking at the extremes in all areas, to gain a better appreciation, for all that they do have, especially in looking in what they actually made it out of.

Brain Stew

As many people already know from class, i find it very difficult to write without a topic, hence brainstorming isn't particularly of my liking, since it involves the perilous journey to Mount Doom, the black hole of no topic. So I'm just going to stir this stew a little.

I suppose many of my topics could stem from my work experience. I've worked retail for over two years, first at Gamestop in my hometown, and now at the Museum of Art here on campus. I've noticed many things, mostly dealing with people and their attitudes. Most of the time i think what comes to mind for me is just people's refusal to be happy. I mean, i know people are let going out of their way to spend money, but like, isn't it something you sort of want? Also, people's impatience with technology is something that's somewhat irritated me i suppose.

Like i said, this is the thought part of writing for me, so if anyone has any suggestions, please throw them down.

My Nucleus.

As you probably already know I'm Taylor Jackson. But there are some things you may not know. I'm from Taylorsville, Utah, there are five people in my family, and I am the oldest of two other siblings. I graduated with the class of 2010 at Cottonwood High School, in Murray, Utah.

As far as my scholarly aspirations go, I am currently in the pre-major for Animation, and will apply to the major after returning from my mission, leaving in August. With Animation, I hope to either work for a movie company such as Pixar, or a video game development company, such as Disney Interactive or Electronic Arts (EA). Beyond my academic pursuits, I plan to soon, as I said, leave for my mission in August, and upon return become a Resident Assistant in Helaman Halls. I currently work at the Museum of Art, and hope to remain employed there through the semester. Most Important of my aspirations are to continue living the gospel and a Christ-centered life, to remain worthy of the blessings of a mission, the temple and an eternal familiy.
