This video made me actually cry. I know I'm, ridiculous but how amazing is it that this hospital was able to pull so many people together for such a great cause. I first saw this on, I believe, dateline. They had some b-roll playing.
The video started because the glove company was going to give a portion of the proceeds to breast cancer research. Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon took it upon them selves to go above and beyond. They made this video to promote the sales of the gloves. And HEY it worked! They got onto ABC dateline. I’m sure that created buzz. The hospital looked great and so did the glove company.
My oh My
When searching stunts I came across this....

This is a video from Quinnipiac University. I went to QU my freshman year. Its so awesome that they did this stunt right on campus. The greatest was seeing peoples reactions. Hearing people say "come see this", affirming that the stunt worked. I am amazed at how still these students stood it almost seemed fake.

The dating game
Okay so what’s the deal with the whole dating game. And I say game cause sadly that is what it has become. There are winners and losers. People who are bad at it. Good at it. Learners and coaches. It’s honestly sad. What has happened to courtmanship. Loyalty. Honesty. Virtue. Have we become so vain and self indulged that we cannot fathom caring for another person? Has the world jaded us so much that we cannot trust another person?
After speaking with one of my girl friends she mentioned that dating has ceased to exist. No longer does a guy work to get your number, take you on a date and get to know you. Now, guys want you to kiss them AT LEAST when u first meet, give him your number then get to know him. Call me old fashioned, but that doesn’t fly with me. Being single for the first time in college is frustrating. Every guy wants to get in your pants and when you deny it they are magically gone. Guess I’m going to be single for a while!
One of my other girl friends had gotten fed up. She has turned to technology. Signing up for eharmony and zoosk, both are free online dating sites. Here she must weed through profiles to see who has potential and who looks “shady”. Now the question is, how does a picture and a few questions about a person tell you anything? I could go on there put a picture of a model and answer the questions according to what I thought men would enjoy. Going farther with that what if a man with mal-intentions were to do the same. I would never be able to meet up with someone I met online. I would need to travel with a “crew” at all times. To me that just sounds like a horror movie in the making. “Girl meets boy on online dating site. Boy turns out to be 50 year old mass murder. Girls body found in shambles under the bridge!”.
The other thing is people have to actively go out at sign up for these sites. Post a picture. Answer a bunch of questions. So you tell me pro or con? I guess a guy on this sight is not just trying to get laid; He is being proactive to being committed. But why not find someone in person? Then there is the awkward cyber getting to know you. There is no chemistry. No non-verbal cues. No slight touches of affection. I mean what is the guys got a voice you can’t sand but you don’t know until its too late because the computer has been your only source of communication.
I don’t know. I don’t think I will be up to speed with this whole online dating thing. But please tell me what you think because I’m now ranting.
