The greatness of advanced technology. HA!

"Life is a bowl of cherries" - yea right, maybe for the male population. Todays dating scene with regard to "rules" of  what you can do and what you cant do have totally been pushed aside, and now with the oh so wonderful advance in technology the genius cell phone now comes into play. 

Funny isn't it,  a great technological advance can cause so much drama. But its not just the cell phone being able to take pictures or videos but also receive text messages. Which i am sure cause lots of problems with couples... as a text message is a conversation that is silent and private. Also you can reach that contact at any time of day - which leads me further into this blog.

So as I was saying about the dating "rules" changing I am sure you can see what I am talking about... How do you set those rules, are you going to play that possessive girlfriend/boyfriend and demand to know everything and everyone they text? Or you can play that not a big deal and let them have their privacy and you know that if they want to share their text they will... with this role you can assume there is nothing that the other person would be hiding. 

So this leads me further to wonder if you have that kind of role where you give the person their privacy but then you notice the secrecy that is then being established by the other person such as guarding their phone, taking their phone when gone to the bathroom, and most of all when you ask who you are you texting and don't get an answer and then the next morning you ask again and they say a friend when normally if it was a friend they would tell you- no questions asked. Also when your boyfriend isn't a big texter but all of a sudden in a 5 hour period develops into one that should wave some flags. 

Maybe the conversation isn't indecent and completely harmless why act like it is then? If you have a relationship which you believe is trusting and open to each other why be secretive and sneaky... However when this other party (opposite sex) is texting your boyfriend/girlfriend and letting them know that they are still in bed.. and just woke up after texting them till early hours of the morning.. well that holds alot more then just simply texting someone. 

I am sure a large portion of the population aged 21 to 26 can agree that you dont text a member of the opposite sex who you know is taken telling them that you are still laying in bed and just woke up with a provocative manor/tone. 

ALSO, on top of this the other party keeps asking about their girlfriend and how they are living together as if prying to get the details on the relationship... especially asking how their girlfriend is when they dont even know her... to further discuss this topic.. I am pretty sure sending this member a picture of her half naked body follows under the topic of "are you fucking kidding me!" especially when an excuse comes to follow with some lame reasoning.. let alone this picture was saved to the phone. ALSO... before that picture i believe that calling this person to wish them a happy new year would be far from normal.. oh but apparently this person is a true and meaningful friend... yeaa bullshit!.... This blog is literally just a rant. But anyone reading it im sure has felt some insecurity with some kind of technological advance when it comes to dating.... so Life is a bowl of cherries... sometimes you just bite into the really sour kind or the really sweet kinds.

Producers are getting smarter!

It has been brought to my attention while watching TV one night last week that the producers are getting smarter and seeing a niche area with reality TV - and actually doing something useful with it.

Now we all know how the times changes and so do peoples perception and ways of communication; however with the influx of reality TV among audiences - with regards to all audiences the response has been huge. There is a new reality TV show which I think will make a difference in the way people see each other and the way communities respond to other communities around them. 

The show is called Secret Millionaire. It is critically acclaimed and award winning. The primary objective of this show is to provide a "birds eye" view for a week into cultures that the millionaires not necessarily aware of or maybe judge the people in these areas too quickly. At the end of this week, the millionaires will give $125,000.00 to a person(s) that they believe are in need and will use it with good intention to provide a better living situation - mentally, physically and emotionally.  

For this type of reality TV show to air and make an impact on society especially considering the economic upset/recession and also the time of year... it may make the christmas season a less advertised holiday and ultimately giving the a real meaning to christmas... other then being bombarded with extravagant gifts. Not only is it a great time of year, but as I previously stated about the economic upset/recession it is a reminder that instead of living or dreaming of a life style that the life and family and friends you have are more then the desired lifestyle of these millionaires. 

In that same thought, I am sure that the majority of the millionaires that sign up to do this TV show have worked their way to where they are and understand most trial and errors about life and the falls ones will take to achieve, they just got lost and now are getting back to what is really important in life.

For now take care!

Job searching or hunting - however you want to put it - is difficult. I have recently relocated from a small town to a city - i love it so far.. but in search of a job.. has been frustrating. In my search I have been interviewed by some interesting people... One person particularly. 

I am a graduate student of an Advertising & Marketing strategies 2yr program. 

While searching online- i love jobbank.gc.ca for job searching, i came across this position for advertising consultant position with a local community newspaper. It seemed promising and I was excited. The next day my boyfriend and i went to the location... well let me tell you... this was the most sketchiest unprofessional place i could ever step foot in.

The front of the newspaper office looked like it had been abandoned, it had a meaningless painting in one window with a tiny web cam facing out towards the street and then in the other window were old computers and parts.  As i opened this so call newspapers door to enter there were pea green office cubicle walls, old office chairs filled with old newspapers, computers and there were leaves from the fall all over the floor. This lady came out assisted me and directed me to this room in the back where i met this particular person who calls them self not only an employer but probably if you were to ask him he would say a "genius" of some sort - FAR FROM!. 

This room was in the dark with a single light - when i thought it wouldn't get sketchier.. it definitely did!.. I handed him my resume and cover letter- he looked over it, don't think he read it though. So we continue with the interviewing process. He asks me what i have been doing for the last couple of months, I say since graduating serving at a restaurant/pub while i job hunted. He actually laughed!.. he asked me other questions and i answered... he asked me where my bf works and i said well GM and his response was " well you guys aren't far off." ARE YOU JOKING ME!? were my thoughts... what gives this person a right to judge if we are financially "far off". But i stayed positive thinking maybe if i could just get my foot in the door something else will come up. So he asked if could come back the next day. I said sure, we set up a time and that was it.

For a minute i had relief, after a couple of weeks of job searching i might just have something. 

The next day, i go in... training day.  So first of all when I get there, I was asked if i brought a pen and paper... um no.. I don't usually carry around notebooks. 

This newspaper claims to provide 4 media outlets. which in reality provide 2, with stems from them. Print and Web.  Print is distributed in Flyer form and newspaper, Web is in 2 forms Online newspaper and Internet Radio.

He then gives me papers with information on the newspaper and the medias, we have conversation and each conversation we have all i can think about how big this guy thinks his ego is.  

I will not go into all details of the "training process" because i would have to start writing a novel, but it was far from what i would considering training...more like bullshit and a waste of time.  I will highlight certain aspects that are absolutely laughable. 

Laughable conversation #1

My question about the measurement of reach or how to get numbers for listeners in the durham region for internet radio.

                 ---response>> "that doesn't matter, you don't need that."

              * anyone in advertising would laugh at that.. are you kidding me! OF COURSE you need                  that.. any client with a brain that works would want to know this information.. 

Laughable conversation #2

What's the meaning of adverting.? 

My response - to ensure that a message is being communicated in a media outlet to encourage action. 

-----His response--- NO! its to make you buy things. end of story. 

* HAHAHAHA are you really serious!? this is the point where i was frustrated and fed up. I was starving and just wanted to be out of that place... so I argued. No point it was a waste of breathe!

AS you may or may not understand the mentality of this certain individual but it is quite clear that there are more then a couple screws loose. However, over the last week or so I have been quite entertained by the response he has achieved online. THANK GOD I am not the only one who thinks thats his mannerisms and way of thinking are completely insane.
