It might be madness.....but its kinda genius.

     Im going to be honest here, the only newspaper that i've picked up more than once is The Dundalk Eagle. Now, ive got copies of The Tennessean, The Niagra Gazette and The New York Times but those are just collectors because I thought it would be cool to save a copy from some of the places i've traveled too. My family has had a subscription to The Eagle for as long as I can possibly remember, I don't remember a time that we didn't have one lying around. If it wasn't sitting on the table in my way everyday I dont think I would have ever flip through it. That was untill I started working at a local marina. Every year The Eagle runs this awards competion for local establishment and everyone goes frikin nuts. We are supose to "campaign" for our snoball stand for " Best Deserts " by handing out papers to every customer and hounding them with our desperate attempts to charm them into voting for us. Really? These competitions have gotten so outta hand that people have been cheating and ballot stuffing just so they can get a piece of paper in a frame saying that the good 'ol people of dundalk think they are the best....again .....really? Dont believe me? Here check it out .Eagle Awards: old faves, and some ballot stuffing 

     Although the whole award thing kinda gets on my nerves because ive been "competing" in them for the last 5 years....I must say that it is a very smart idea from the newspapers perspective. All these businesses buying stacks of them to cut out and hand to thier customers and persuading them to buy more and have each and EVERY family member fill them out.....the sales during the summer have to be phenominal!!! I wonder if they even care that people are ballot stuffing? I mean why would they, they are still making a shit load of maoney off of this thing. I think every newspaper shoud take a look into dundalks way of bringing in the money and maybe this ^ (thats an arrow head pointing to my handy graph) wouldn't be happening all over the country. Looks like dundalk didnt screw everything up.  

See we all know that this isn't real...and just a scene from the new movie but I almost bought it. Good way to sell a magazine? Or is it just lying?

Due to the sucky government and them blocking the interent the citizens took to the streets... did u know that it was the biggest riot since the 1970's?? I didnt......

Honestly, i feel bad for celebrities. If i had the choice to become famous i dont know if i would be able to committ to a lifestyle that had such a high price to pay, such as sacrificing ALL of your privacy. I think its sad the the only entertainment that americans buy is gossip about our favorite celebs that we all know isn't real anyway. When you are in line at the store and you see all of these different magazine about the same people...to me its boring. It makes me think that everyone is starting to become the same. The same drama loving, blissfully ignorant breed of humans. And the thing that scares me is that I actually want to buy them! What does this say about me? So I buy one. As im flipping throught them i cant find any information that i find useful or interesting at all. its kind of amazing how people have forgotten all the important things to read about and be caught up in. I forgot. I have been much to involved in whats going on with Kristen and Rob to know that in Egypt the president blocked the internet... like Twitter and Facebook from its citizens? Can u just imgaine if something like that were to happen here? I asked my family memebers if they knew what was going on over there and the only person who had any idea about the situation was my mother. I guess that as you get older the things that interest you change a little bit, because i couldnt find one person who didnt know who Kristen Stuart and Robert Pattinson were but my mom couldnt careless who they were. So i guess my generation has to wait till we get older in order to have an intellegent conversation. I have to admit that im guilty for all of these crimes on not caring but i think its important for me to make an effort to be more aware of these things that are occuring all over our world, beacuase how are we supose to help if we dont know there is a problem?
