Day 214

Happy Sunday everyone! I think and hope you all know that it is not any normal Sunday, today is also the first day of February, which makes it very special. Today is national freedom day!! No, it's not a "bank" holiday, so next year when its on a Monday, you can still make that deposit. National Freedom Day celebrates the day the Abraham Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment, which outlawed slavery on this day in 1865. And the only president from Missouri, Harry S Truman is the one who made it a holiday.

Ok, so today is also the day some guys beat each other up and like half the country watches it. But I'm pretty sure most people just want to watch the ads. They are the awesomosity for the day. Here are a few of my favorites.

"1984" - Apple Computers - This is awesome for several reasons. One, it introduced the world to the best computer ever, a Macintosh, and two, it is credited as creating the phenomenon of "Super Bowl Commercials". It was the first to create a production out of a television commercial. Enjoy:



Budweiser's tribute to 9/11 - Awesome because it makes me want to cry every time I see it.



Finally, a commercial I think you might see later today (if you watch the game). "Tips" - CareerBuilder. This is awesome because it is the evolution of advertising. They spent probably $3-$5 Million to get it on TV, may $100,000 or more to make it, then upload it to YouTube for free and get another 300,000 people to watch it before it even airs. Here ya go:



I hope you all enjoy the day and the game (if you decide to watch). See you tomorrow!!
