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!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
