It’s getting ridiculous

Normally, I don’t pay attention to the craptastic, poorly animated advertisement banners that flood virtually every popular website on the internet, but upon logging on to Myspace, I see this little piece of work:

I find this astounding. There’s Britney, captured in some still frames of her oh-so-infamous 2007 VMA performance. It’s amazing to me how, not only did she perform at the VMA’s a few weeks ago, but she also managed to juggle her baby at the same time, and bounce him around her head. I mean, how could you not notice?

Okay, enough sarcasm. No, I don’t in any way condone Britney’s actions (not that I even really care), and yes, she has really made a mess of her life, and her children are unfortunately suffering from it. That said, I think it’s pathetic the lengths advertisers will go to in order to make you click their ads. Come on…by clicking this ‘ad’, I’ll magically win 2 iPod Nanos? For free? You don’t say! Does anybody even fall for that same old bait and switch routine anymore? I would’ve thought that the hopes of ever winning anything from clicking an online advertisement died back in the 90’s…early 2000, tops. Along with Britney’s career. Funny, I may find this ad annoying and repulsive, but here I am blogging about it, showing everyone that it does indeed get some kind of attention. To money-hungry, greedy advertisers though, all publicity is good publicity.

In case you haven’t already noticed, today has been a pretty bad day. The first day of my period is always the worst…mood swings, irritability, headaches, cramps…you name it, it happens to me on this day. I cried earlier because I was so upset about Dylan spending the night with his grandparents. A few minutes later, we were laughing and playing in the living room. Strange, I know…

Ugh. I worked a double shift yesterday, so that is also playing a part in my bitch fest. It’s the first double I’ve ever worked, and it kicked my ass. By the end of the night, I was basically limping to the car. Everything from the waist down just…ached and throbbed. Hips, thighs, knees, ankles, feet…everything was just burning and aching - with good reason. I’d been on my feet all day long with barely any time to sit down. Needless to say, I couldn’t wait to rush home and get into the medication. Am I really going to have to work doubles every week? Looks that way, at least until someone else can get hired on. I’ll get used to it, I suppose.
