Well, the most TV I watch is Phoenix Suns games. Well that's just the season, back during baseball I'd watch all I could and was very happy that Boston beat out everyone again. Now it's Suns though. Basketball is my favorite and I find myself clapping, talking and shouting at the TV. I guess I picked that up from my dad. I've watched basketball for as long as I can remember with him, and by the time I tried playing, it was a natural. It's one of my biggest loves in this life. I love PHX and watching Detroit Pistons also. I'm also excited to see what Boston Celtics can do in the coming seasons. I do like individual players also like Allen Iverson who plays for Denver Nuggets.
This post was not supposed to be about basketball ok, well the point is that during the games I always see the commercials and there are two that I really like. I hope you know which ones I'm talking about. I just like part of one, and it's a Bank of America commercial where everyone is looking through the "logo" or Bank of America symbol and they see what they really want out of life, and everytime I see the business woman look in there and she sees herself unloading a minivan of kids, she's got a raggedy sweatshirt on and a ponytail in her hair, I love that. I don't cry but it really touches me everytime and it makes me grateful, and it makes me think of my Aunt. She's my hero. She's about 45 and she's always been single and she's always worked so hard to support herself and I wonder if she looked into that logo if that's what she'd see. I was thinking and I don't really know what I'd see, most things would be the same, maybe I'd add a few things like I'd be the high school girls basketball coach, or maybe be in the stands when my kid is playing in the final 4 or something. I'd be at a book signing because I'd have written a book that had done really well and helped a lot of people, or I'd be in the studio really laying down all the music I've written with my family helping. If I looked in the logo I'd be shaking hands with Michael Jackson or Fred Rogers or some of my ancestors, people I really support and believe in. If I looked in the logo, I'd be buying a house for my Aunt, or dropping off gifts of food and money and clothes on doorsteps.
It's just a cheesy commercial right? But it's a pretty cool concept.
The other commercial is more comical. It's a southwest.com commercial. The one where the guy steals a finger full of icing off a Birthday cake in the fridge at work. The cake is a co-workers, and as he closes the door she's right there. He then begins to tell her about a new southwest deal /club. When he's done he wishes her a happy birthday, she says "Thanks for remembering" (he didn't remember at all, he saw the name on the cake) He licks his fingers as he walks away while she's still standing there in a bit of a shock, saying to herself "nice guy..."
It's hillarious if you see it. It's my all time favorite right now.
