I Could Care

I love looking at the Gadgets I can add to this blog. Stuff you see to the right of this like Parenting Tips, The Puppy Of The Day, etc. And the stuff below the blog. I put in stuff I like to see because I actually do log into this blog at least every other day.

So one of the things I could add is a link to something called Men's Lifestyles. It gives the male viewpoint on stuff like sex, politics, life issues, etc. And I was going to add it, but then I thought,

I could care, but I don't.

I did once, when I was dating. And I do care about my husband's views, irrespective of whether I think they're stupid or not (most are not). But Men as a whole. Nah. I just don't care. Maybe I will when my son gets closer to being one. But not yet.

Unfortunately, I am starting to pay attention to the issues of senior citizens since every day I get closer to being one. That's a bit scary.

So All They Do Is Knock Each Other Down?

I was watching the Super Bowl yesterday for two reasons: 1) We were invited to a party & other than watching my kids, there was nothing else to do (plus I'm on Weight Watchers so I was avoiding the snacks). 2) Since I used to be in Marketing, I have a mild interest in the ads.

I've never been a fan of football. I mean, people get really hurt and a lot of money is spent on stuff that is purely for the amusement of others. I suppose it is a diversion, but not one I see any sense in.

Anyway, after all these years of tolerating football in my house (husband is a huge fan of Penn State and the Raiders with my son following in his dad's footsteps), I actually watched the game. I get the fact that the goal is to get the ball over the line or between the goal posts (whatever). But I also realized that for some of the players, their goal was to run until someone knocked them down. So they'd take off at full speed until someone hit them and they went BOOM on their tushies. How is this different from what some toddlers do?

From a commercial standpoint, some were amusing. I liked the fetching horse. I liked the Doritos commercial. But I was surprised, considering how early the game was on and the fact that a lot of kids watch it, how salacious and violent some of the ads were. But then again, football itself is violent.
