Advertising

Isn't it amazing that every time of the year when there's a special holiday like Christmas and Easter adverts are everywhere. Mostly now during Easter they target the children with all sorts of chocolate goodies then as soon as they see the advert they look at their parents as if to say buy, buy me, then at Christmas it's all sorts of toys that again the children want to replace toys that they don't play with anymore and again they look at their parents saying will I get that from Santa, it's a terrible shame that the advertisers target children but it's big business and the more adverts for the children to see the more money the businesses will make which in a way makes sense for them, spend on adverts to reap the financial rewards. There's advertising everywhere, on tv, internet, newspapers, all sorts of media and it's not only aimed at children, shops advertise their products so parents can choose which shop is the best and cheapest from everything like food and drink for the holiday period to new home appliances and cars, there is no exception to the means that advertisers will go to to get a bigger slice of the pie, which is ok to a certain extent but in the end it becomes boring as the same adverts are in front of you all the time and it's as if the advertisers are brain washing you to buy their products. The companies that benefit the most are the ones whose adverts are on the media the most and are seen by a higher number of people, I know that these people have a job to do and are quite clever at what they do but in the end the ordinary people end up the worst off financially and mentally with the constant words of I want that from men, women and children, wouldn't it be nicer to go from shop to shop and decide for yourself than being bombarded by adverts, I can understand both sides of the argument and it's up to the individual to make up their own mind as to what they buy and where they shop not to be forced into it, ordinary people have to think about what's financialy acceptable to them maybe one day I will have to advertise if I get enough followers but for now I don't have to. What do you think am I right or wrong, just think about it and make up your own mind.

Luck

Luck, do you believe in it, like finding a four leaf clover, a bird shiting on you, is that going to bring you luck or do you just make your own luck? Some people have so called luck by winning the lottery, winning on online gambling or winning on the stock market, are these all attributed to luck, good question but if you think about it everything that you bet on is controlled by a computer or little balls spinning around in a plastic globe, you win, is that really luck? How do you define what luck really is, I'm not sure but I think you make your own luck. For instance I made my own luck by going to a cafe and meeting my wife who worked there, I made my own luck during the war in Croatia by doing what I had been taught and stayed alive, my wife and I were lucky enough to have three children when there are other married people who can't have children, are those examples of luck or destiny? In a way you could say that it was my destiny to get married not just luck, which is it ...

T+L

Well at long last it seems that there may be a break in our heatwave, last night after the temperature hitting a huge 40 degrees it started to thunder and lightning but did the heavens open for rain to fall, no only a few spots, I could probably drink more water than fell from the sky, at least it's a little cooler 19 and set to rise to a reasonable 35 degrees which is a bit more bearable. It's Sunday the end of the weekend and again it seems that my wife and I will be on our own, my youngest daughter and her fiance are going here and there to visit his family and I'm not sure if my eldest daughter will be here so it's going to be a weird Sunday but peaceful. It's going well for Ukraine from looking at all the media as Ukraine is still taking over more of russia and blowing up bridges so the idiot can't resupply his troops and he is also bombing his own country with missiles, what a shame the ordinary people who so called voted for the puppet master are having t...

The other foot

I bet that the president of Ukraine is now extatic when the shoe is on the other foot and the idiot in the Kremlin is getting a right good kicking. It's been so long since the people of Ukraine had something to be happy about and not feel miserable every day. They may be still losing their homeland little by little every day but I now think that perhaps the tide is turning. The incursion into the russian motherland which is the first time since WW11 is an early Christmas present after all the suffering that they have endured physically, mentally and the bodies of their loved ones coming home from the front in boxes. Now it's the turn of the russian people to be upset and experience what the ordinary people of Ukraine have for so long. The Ukrainians have gone on the rampage and are taking russian soil not inch by inch but mile by mile, now there's a sense of jubilation among the people of Ukraine and the mood of the ordinary people of Russia has turned against the puppet ma...
