Commericial Housekeeping and I wonder....

I am back. On the news front, you may notice that I have decided to shill for the man. I got nothing against the man, and have no trouble shilling for anybody, provided they put down the money. That is why I tend not to wear anybody's brand or logo on my body where possible. As I see it, you want me to be a walking billboard for your brand AND I have to pay top dollar, an inflated retail price to show that I am "cool", "hip" and "with it", then you need some psychiatric help. Your break with reality is apparent. I do not PAY to advertise for somebody else. Is it just me or is that perverse. Pay to advertise for some company, especially one that merely slaps its logo on goods manufactured in a third world country, or China or India, for pennies.

I am no socialist/Marxist/communist, and I do not begrudge a company for doing this, if they can get away with it, and obviously they can. I just refuse to participate. I march to my own drummer so that I can call the tune. I will pay that price willingly because I know that I am true to who I am and I can live with that.

Anyway, please feel free, fuck it, I implore you to click on the ad links in this blog whenever you visit. I want to make some money, there is no shame in that, and besides I am not imploring to do anything beyond click the advertising links, you do not have to read or buy (I love click throughs for that reason). That being said, if I only get paid for you buying, then I will rethink the whole ad thing and try to come up with another way to monetize my writing here. That is a story for another day.

That is all the commercial housekeeping for today. I did have one thought, though, if grape seed oil is made from grape seeds, olive oil from olives, canola oil from canola seeds, then just what is baby oil made from? Makes you wonder, doesn't it. I was thinking that if put my new nephew in a cold press, we may gets some, not much since he is tiny, extra virgin baby oil. I am sick but I have to share that thought with my brother, he would enjoy that one.

That is it for the week. I think I posted every day this work week. I may or may not post on Monday as it is Victoria Day up here. It is our May long weekend, much like Memorial Day, next week, is the one for all my American friends (and those who dislike me, too, the day does not discriminate, but I do). Have a great long weekend to the Canadians and great weekend to the Americans. Ciao!
