09/02/2008 Entry: "*^&% marketing"

well, my internet has been in and out of my house, thus the lack of writing...

saturday i went to the beach, yes, again. i'm becoming quite the beach bum! :) sure, our beach is not a tourist attraction, but it is so peaceful...like i've said, god surely lives there...

ok, i have two stories i must share...

so here I am sitting in a chair, reading a book, but destiny has grown impatient, and will not stop begging me to go run with her in the water again. at this point, i've run a LOT! this same scene has already replayed itself more times than i can count...still, i set down my book and go for another run! she's skipping and getting more excited the closer we get to the waves. i look out at the vastness of the ocean, and stop. it was a moment. once again, the same god, painted portrait reminds me...of my creator...i look around and i'm happy to see parents spending quality time with their children, lovers embracing, people swimming, running, people just being kids....then all of the sudden, it happens...

the waves stop singing. well, not entirely, but they are interrupted by the sound of....an engine???? i look in the sky and this airplane has this massive banner attached to it. i would tell you exactly what it said, but then the people advertising would win :) so, basically it says something like, "watch our tv show. it airs at 7 p.m. tonight!" i have seen this before, but for some reason it hit me much different...

i thought EVERY SINGLE one of these people out here are here to have fun, and whether they are aware of it or not, the beach is their great escape from the cares of this life. the seawall is behind us, with all of its billboards, advertisements, and flashing lights...the endless ocean and serenity lies before us...i thought, "can't you just leave us all alone for just one freaking afternoon?" i mean come on! i could see it so clearly...here are all these men in suits and ties sitting in some high rise, around some big fancy table discussing marking ideas...the regional marketing team for galveston complains that all the people are at the beach having a good time, they aren't buying their product!! they conclude money should be spent in another town to further advance their image...plus there is nowhere to advertise in the water! the boss puts down his cigar, and sends a cold, hard stare down the table!!! he then yells, "you fools!!! go get some guy to fly a plane above the ocean! oh! and attach a huge piece of paper to the back of the plane that says, 'BUY OUR PRODUCT' !!!"

Are you freaking kidding me?? i couldn't believe it....i wanted to scream to the top of my lungs "leave us the freak alone! WE ARE HAPPY!!! we don't care about your commercials, your tv stars, or the scripts that you write to make us all think we're missing out on something!!! WE ARE HAPPY!!!"

...then destiny jumped on me, putting a nice claw scratch all the way down my entire leg! it woke me up! it was like she said, "hey idiot! you're wasting your emotions, let's go play!" so off we went for another insanely satisfying run!

well, that's one story..and since i accidentally wrote so much, i will share the other tomorrow :)

love. saradelight*
