I couldn’t figure out what to put up for today’s article.  I wanted to put up last weekend’s drinking stories that have put me on bedrest for the past 2 days.  But the stories aren’t quite done yet and my body hates me from no sleep last week and I’m not witty when I’m sick.  Therefore, I’ve decided to post my commercial that was on Kare 11 last week.  Going into the commercial I was hoping to do well or at least average.  I think I do below average after watching it a couple times.  But, the reason I’m posting it is to provide entertainment (albeit the highest level of unintentional comedy).  Try watching it a couple times, you can’t help but laugh at me (not with me).  Many people in the past week, have said things like good job or you sounded good.  Maybe they think that, but I’m my own worst critic and I know I didn’t do well.  I could blame it on the fact that the whole thing is an impromptu or the fact I hadn’t even thought about what I was saying87.  But, when people have personally told me/texted/facebooked me, they have all said good things, and I don’t fucking believe them.  I honestly think everyone is being sarcastic88.  So, the point of my website is to provide entertainment and I have never been above poking fun at myself.  Watch it a few times I guarantee some laughs.

Two quick things to note after watching the video.  For the record the company Ekornes uses the word ergonomical all the time, so it was not me trying to sound smart.  If you read my blogs, you know I don’t use big words to sound like some sophisticated douche.  And, I will give myself credit for something, my quick adjustment/unbuttoning of my suit coat, which was trying it’s hardest to choke me out during the commercial.

Side Note 87: This reminds me of something that always bothered me in high school and college.  You know when you are on your way to a test and your friend tells you he didn’t study at all, when you know god damn well he’s been prepping for weeks.  See, I was always the kid on the way to his accounting test telling the truth, that I honestly had not studied and expected to fail.  This is how I felt going into this commercial.  I didn’t want to practice or waste time practicing things that I don’t even know I’m going to be asked.  Instead, I’ll just wing it and see how it goes, which is what I did.

Side Note 88: My personal favorite text comes from H-Bomb.  “Oh my gosh…I wish I could have that video constantly streaming throughout my day…I might put it on my ipod.  Aids is funny that’s f-ing hilarious.”
