products that define me as a person.

I was at the good ol’ Cub foods last night, really itching to find that perfect product that defines me as a person. Not just any item will work, mind you, as I am constantly on the lookout to make that “deep” connection with companies and their products. I want to have a personal relationship with the items that I use in the consumeristic world that is my life, because if I cant have personal relationships with other people (not true), then why can’t I have personal relationships with all the wonderful companies out there. I mean they have my best interest at heart, so I decided a long time ago that if its printed on a box, it is most definitely true.

I needed something to cover up my leftover meals, and for baking cookies , and keeping out the aliens from my brain. So I scoured the store, searching for that PERFECT product that can truly define me as a person, and lo and behold, I found it.

awesome aryn

I feel more like a man now.

Last night, President Bush pontificated to a national audience to commemorate the five year anniversary of the September 11th attacks and it did not take long for him to segue into his politicizing of the event.

Bush quickly brushed off the actual tragedy and clumsily transitioned into his status report for this ‘difficult road ahead.’ Delivering his stock catch phrase keywords about ‘spreading freedom’ and ‘struggle for civilization’ and ‘fighting to maintain the way of life enjoyed by free nations,’ he had an odd crooked grin, almost as if he thought he had never uttered those ‘brilliant’ words before.

I can’t say I am suprised by his typical cookie-cutter theatrics- why should we expect anything different? There is that pesky mid-term election coming up in November. But despite all the bad press and sinking approval ratings, the president confirmed we are in fact, um..winning the war on terror: 4-2 in the bottom of the fourth. But I might have been distracted by the ESPN sports news crawl at the bottom of the screen.
