People who read my blog know that it's been at a stand still and that I love to write but have had a very exciting life and sometimes it doesn't allow me the privilege of contributing my time to the art.
I was using my blog as an outlet for one of my classes last year. That was exciting... ... ...
Anyway, school is almost over. I have started on a new path. TV, as much as I don't like to be on it, as much as I don 't really watch it, seems to be my future regardless of how much I avoid it. I recently began working a TV business...thus thrusting me into blogging about TVs. The irony.
If you would like to see that blog, visit http://pickettandsontv.blogspot.com . That's Nika's little brother.
Other adventures I would like to embark on include writing a book and possibly launching a recipe website that I have put a few thousand hours into. We shall see. The TV shop requires a lot of time and this semester is looking like it will be a doozy. Pray that I finish it all by May or I might be stuck for another semester. I just want to get my bachelors!!!! :D
Once again I am going to be posting interesting finds on here again, only I am a little bit more educated these days...I think...or so I've been told. I did just turn 30. :/
Thank-you anyone and everyone who happens upon my little blog. :D Have a great night!!!

Gawker.com
Gawker.com was probably one of the funniest sites I have read in a long time.
Initially, I thought, oh great, here is another gossip blog. The layout has a main photo and a few photos of people who subscribe to it on facebook. So...it was looking sort of shoddy.
The stories are refreshing though. Different but refreshing. The type of language used is a lot more readable than the everyday news jargon. It was full of humor.
Advertisements on the site were minimal but relevant to the audience at hand. Pepsi was a sponsor.
Overall, I liked Gawker.com. It was a bit unordinary.

People Magazine
This is a gossip magazine.I hate this crap. Vomit. Spew. Barf. Hurl.
Can someone please get me an i.v. drip? I am losing all of my fluids.
It's just a bunch of crap people think is news. I am not even going to waste my time.

Yahoo!Sports
The photo choices exhibited by Yahoo!Sports were pretty interesting. Every face had an intense emotion. It's like the photographers really focus on getting a great moment.
The photos were then placed so that headlines surrounded them, drawing your eyes to the headlines as they left the photos. Great tactic!
Advertisements that were placed on the page were geared toward sweaty athletes and their fans. Fitting.
Dove and UConn were examples of advertisers.
I liked this site because of the lively photos. They did a really great job.

ESPN.com
The layout of ESPN.com is very bright and colorful. There are lots of reds and the main leading photo is one of women basketball players. I liked that.
Obviously, Pepsi is a huge sponsor for this website, as there were tons of Mountain ads all over the place.
The site covers a variety of sports genres, NASCAR, NFL, NBA, NHL and so on, catering to every sports fanatic.
There were commentaries, radio stations and games for interaction.
The site was good in my opinion for the type of information it relays.
