Shannon Logic:Symbolic Politics

I've done a ShanLogic on romantical type of advice before. This is my second theory... Don't take anything I say too seriously here, this won't be much of a controversial post, but my opinions are mine, yours are yours. 

I say this like I'm going to explain politics in the most controversial way possible, but the truth is this is the most basic way to explain politics that really makes sense to me. A lot of times politicians give out freebies while trying to get your vote. They probably don't choose the freebies or anything, a comittee probably does... But I feel like they can say a lot about a candidate and maybe it's something that can help you make your decision. 

So I think a reliable candidate would give something like a Chip Clip as a freebie. First off, it's an entirely useful freebie, potato chips don't always close easily and some people (I'm talking to you, dad!) leave the bag open and the chips get soggy or stale. Not only is it a useful item... But it's actually a very good solution to a problem. It just closes the bag and seals it shut. It doesn't give a temporary fix, the chip clip will last for as long as you have the chips. It closes it, seals it shuts and it solves your problem easily and without mess. 

Something I think that would be more unreliable is something like a fly swatter. Sure it's useful, but it isn't all that practical. It's big and hard to store. It's not a guarantee that you will actually swat the fly itself, and it will leave the mess at least of a dead bug, possibly you could break something while swatting as well. It's also sort of a waste of money... It's not like the candidate himself is spending this money on the freebies, he's getting money from fundraisers and whatnot. I'm guessing a fly swatter is more expensive than a chip clip and it isn't so sing anyone needs. You could easily kill a fly with a magazine or newspaper. Plus is that the way you really want your candidate to solve your problems? Just killing them! That's morbid and messy. It's not reliable. It's not someone I would trust as my government elected official... I don't like it! 

So there's my little theory on politics. I've seen other freebies like fans... Those aren't all that practical for long term use... But usually they're just cardboard and they hand them out at fairs. You may think the chip-clip guys would be bad because they encourage unhealthy eating habits, but I mean healthy foods go bad if you don't close them either. Plus I could really not give a damn about that in my candidates. Healthy food is gross and cookies and chips are delicious. I stand by that. Lol. 

BYEEEE!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Some Pretty Funny Mini Stories That Happened Recently

Okay... so I feel like I have a few stories to tell... a lot of random funny things have happened this past week or so and I just feel like telling them... so yeah. Hope these are interesting. The Penny Pincher  This actually happened a while ago. And some backstory: My mom and I babysit my niece on weekdays and my niece is a toddler- who is pretty easygoing- and I don't really mind watching her on my own...but somedays it gets a little long and it's nice to have 2 people there. Anyway she had to go to the grocery store to get a tomato sauce... and we like a particular kind of tomato sauce... some woman actually took that tomato sauce out of her cart and put the generic version in her cart because "this woman knows tomato sauce and this stuff is the same." It really wasn't the same at all... the type I think had diced tomatoes and that isn't what we needed for the recipe or something like that. The tomatoes were different and it wouldn't have worked wi...
