Letter to Charms

Dear Charms Lolly Pop Corp,

I am just writing to inform you that you are selling an inferior good to the public. No one like grape flavored lollypops. Make that grape flavored things in general. Well actually i do love a nice green grape, but not the purple ones. They have seeds. ew. But If you only sold Cherry,Watermelon, and Strawberry, and i mean sour apple is ok i guess. There is always that one kid who secretly loves Sour Apple. But if you eliminated Grape and replaced it with another flavor, i feel like your company would do much better. 

Or is it just that fact that you cant think of other flavors? because Lolly pops have been around forever and i dont think you have been brainstorming of a better flavor for 100 years. Just change Grape and replace it with a Cream Soda flavored lolly pop and that is that, because no one dislikes cream soda in small amounts, yes its a little sweet, but not if you just have a little. like a few licks. 

So thats my words of Wisdom today, Eliminate Grape, and save the world.

Day One

So i have never really written a blog before, but it seems like the cool thing to do at this point in time, a little conformity never hurt anyone, so i thought id make a blog. 

With this being the first day of my second year of college, a lot of things are going on. So i thought id take some time out of my day, grab a nice cup of coffee, and record some of the things i have seen on my first day back in Baltimore. 

So i made the trip down from Boston to Baltimore yesterday. And traveling anywhere with my family can always lead to some....how do you say......"interesting" experiences. For anyone that knows my family they could attest my mom is like Mother Theresa while my dad is like Charlie Brown...haha. So as i get on the plane, i sit down in my window seat, post up, grab me a refreshing fresca from the incompetent flight attendants, put on my Sony headphones, and enter a new stream of consciousness as i indulge myself to the "words of wisdom" of Matisyahu. My dad however gets stuck in a middle seat, crammed between this huge guy who doesnt stop coughing and sneezing ( for the record my dad is the king of the germophobes and feels like the swine flu is going to end the word. ) so this flight i alternated between watching an episode of Sailor Moon (ya thats right Sailor Moon) and laughing because of my dads inability to sit next to anyone who hasn't been sterilized. Overall it was just a really crazy 90 minute plane flight. 

This is just the first of many blog posts to come; tomorrow i discuss my thoughts on Airport Security...
