B = BOGO

Okay so B is for Bogo

For those of you who live on Mars Bogo is buy one get one free. Why is it that people go psychotically crazy for buy one get one free? Yay I can get two cans of peas fro the price of one so now I have to buy like 10. If you truly buy one perhaps you are getting your moneys worth but they get you to buy like ten so you have way more than you need but you got them free. You see it not only in stores but its all over the television. They have all there random weird sold on TV things. The things that you think are odd but might buy just because it seems like it could be useful and you'll use it once and forget about it. The consumers have to sell a certain amount to make quota so hey buy one you'll get a second one free of charge to entice you more into it. Like a person really needs two sets of easy chopping knives or two magic blending genies.

Why can't you get some good stuff using bogo? I want two SUV's here's my coupon I'll just be on my way. Since you bought this brand new Victorian house in a up and coming neighborhood you get the one next door free. Perhaps clothes are an exception to bogo being a good thing on occasion. Who couldn't go for more clothes


Payless goes BOGO crazy all the time but to them Bogo means buy one get one half off. That kind of ruins the whole excitement of bogo.

Under Construction

As many people have told me the best way to get better at something is to practice. So here I am trying to improve my writing skills. Here goes my alphabetical blog for 26 days.

The letter A
Atlanta/Alaska

The California Educational system

A conversation between three people sitting around the dinner table contains the normal chit chat and boring nonsense. Nothing out of the ordinary.


Jane: So I don't understand why were spending so much money in this war its not even our country and were not even profiting off of it at all.

Jill: Well yeah most do think we should take charge of oil we'd make a killing.

Jane: I know our tax dollars should be going to more important things like fixing up New Orleans in the state of Atlanta and all that.

Jack: What state?

Jane: Atlanta duh, you know where all that flooding and hurricanes happened not to long ago. I think the money should stay in the country with Americans.

Jill: Yeah I'm sure the state of Atlanta does need it more. What was the capital of Atlanta again?

Jane: Hell if I know I don't remember geography at all. What is it like Jacksonville that's ringing a bell somewhere?

Jill: Yeah that's for sure. Where did you get your diploma from?

Jane:The great state of California. The school I went to had some of the highest test scores you know.

Jill: They must hand out those to anyone who can write there name correctly or if that's true then you must have dropped those test scores way low because one Jacksonville is in Florida. Most importantly dorkess Atlanta isn't a state its the capital of the state of Georgia genius. I think you should open a map once in a while.

Not to long after the three are discussing vacation plans for the summer.

Jill: I was thinking we should just go camping all we need is some tents.

Jane: How about we go to Alaska its the summer not cold for 2 months?

Jack: We have to take the ferry because it's an island and you can't drive there. I could loon up the schedules right now.

Jill: ALASKA'S NOT AN ISLAND! We are never moving to California because the kids will have a terrific education like the two of you.

Jane: Isn't it ?

Jill: Genius sister genius brother. I will pull out a US map for you both to look at there's Alaska it is connected but its placed on the side of the map so you can see it. Were not going there any way its a three day ferry or like a drive from Seattle to New York City.

YOUR FUTURE WITHOUT AIU!!!!!

Okay to anyone still alive after my overally long gap. You ever go to dump your trash early in the morning and as you approach the dumpster you hear a noise. Oh well its nothing just a cat. You toss the trash into the air and you hear no landing sound but instead............



OWWWWWWWWWW


You jump and turn around and see a man coming out of the dumpster rubbing his head. You apologize of course and he says its fine. It is one of the dangers of being a dumpster diver. From then on you always listen when you toss the trash.



SOME WHERE OUT THERE!

Media Production Students Vincent Gavin and Benny Flores enjoy using the equipment as their time at AIU comes near its end.

The Adventure Home

How difficult is it to come home from school at eleven thirty at night? VERY!

First off, they decide to close the onramp to the freeway onramp you depend so much on. Not to mention you have NO sense of direction even with really dark signs all around. So you drive around for a while until you think you see a familiar street that will get you back to the safety of the freeway so you make a sharp turn. You were WRONG; you end up down a very dark street and decide to turn around in an apartment parking lot next to a dumpster. As you are trying to back out you think you see a ………….. HAND STICKING OUT! Your terrified until you give it a second look, it was a plastic bag. Either way you find the freeway as quick as you can.

Your night doesn’t end there as you are trying to change lanes you see something shiny fly rite next to you. It’s a PLASTIC BAG following you. After thinking, it’s a conspiracy against you, you continue on your journey. You reach a freeway that at this time is always flying and is until you see brake lights come out of nowhere, a sea of red. As you, approach all cars start pulling over to the side and you do to just to be safe. Two cars totaled each other. One of them is blocking two lanes and the others hood is on the ground and people are standing in the middle of the freeway. Everyone is pulled over on their phones you assume calling the police. You could to but there were already a lot of people doing so you continue on.

Finally, you drop of your fellow adventurer at her house, you see five cop cars and a fire truck the park next to where she lives, and you approach to see why. A car is on fire in the park.. Too much of an adventure for one night so you head home in one piece.

Beware of Barking People, Baby Medicine but not Drunk Drivers

Okay so it’s an ordinary day in El Cajon and you decide you need to go to Rite Aid and get some baby Motrin. Sounds simple enough what could happen. You get to the isle and in the spot where the baby Motrin is there is a tab that says please see the front desk. Weird but okay you go and ask about it and the clerk says sure and unlocks a cabinet behind him. When you go to pay for it in cash, by the way he asks you for your driver’s license and continues to write down the numbers. You ask why did he need your license and he says that there is drug in baby Motrin that could be made to use to make Methanphedime. He says that they are required to keep track of anyone who buys and to see if there is a pattern with anyone so the cops can bust people on it.

Okay if that wasn’t weird enough walk to your car and start it up okay no big deal. As your car is starting up a dirty looking man is running towards your car………

BARKING. Hell you ain’t gonna stick around to see what he tries. Your foot is on the gas so fast your tires squeel.


A few nights later you get home from school its almost midnight and your start doing work on the computer and you hear a big BOOM. A few minutes later you hear footsteps coming up the stairs and someone banging on your neighbor in the next apartments door. Its some cops asking if they own a white truck parked on the street, they answer yeah its one of theirs. They tell them its totaled a drunk driver hit it. That truck was parked right in front of your Dodge Neon, the car you owe more money than its worth and have thought about paying your sister to lose it somewhere and call it stolen to collect the insurance money. It would be a blessing if it was destroyed. You go out and ask the cops what about the neon in back of the truck. They tell you the driver barley missed it and its fine. You check and it was inches away and there isn’t a scratch on it.

Okay here is a few random car incidents that I know of at this point in time.


1. You’re in the car with your friend who just got their license like two weeks before what could be better finally one of you is driving and you have a way around. You jump on the freeway to go when all of a sudden she yells at the top of her lungs and swerves into three lanes. Of course there is five of you squished in the backseat only made for three. You all panic and you realize what she freaked out about. A deadly plastic bag came right for her. Later that night on your way back you are all deep in conversation include ding the wonderful driver and as she flies right through a stop sign you all panic once again as you see a car come inches from the front of hers. She slams on the brake everyone holds on tight and the car that almost killed you all drives away cussing up a storm and like nothing, she continues the conversation like you all didn’t almost die. Unfortunately, as the years have past this persons driving skills haven’t improved much.

2. Your driving along on the free way like you always do going maybe a little under the speed limit on the lane closest to the off ramp when all of a sudden a cop on a motorcycle comes up right next to you going really fast. Then all of a sudden, he does a 180 on the freeway and heads the opposite direction towards you. Before he can hit you, he goes into the emergency lane and drives by you again.

3. Stupid people are those guys in back of you when the freeway shuts down at eleven at night constantly honking at you. “Excuse me I didn’t know you were waiting let me just start the freeway just for you”
