Coke Vs. Pepsi

This drink is so good, I'm almost sure you can snort it.

  You walk into a restaurant, you sit down, your waitress says,  "Can I start you off with something to drink?" You say back,  "That would be delightful.  Can I have a glass of Coca-Cola please?"  She says, "Is Pepsi okay?"  You stand up and flip the table and yell back,  "God no; what kind of person do you think I am? I'd rather drink my own piss!"

Insistence!  Isn't it a great feeling?  Insistence is feeling so loyal to one product that you won't ever switch one for the other.  In this case, it is Coke vs. Pepsi.  I know...I know...you're thinking, 'why these products; they're practically the same thing!'  Coke just has more sugar and the can is red and Pepsi is blue.  Kind of like the Bloods vs Cripps.  But it's more than that it seems to me.

Coke advertising plan and way they advertise to me, just seems more real.  You can see that Coca-Cola is on top and Pepsi tries and tries to challenge Coke but Coke is so good at what it does, it's just way too hard to beat.

Coca-Cola was introduced in 1886...now that's a classic!  Pepsi trailed behind, starting in 1898 as something called 'Brads Drink' then switched in June 1903 to Pepsi-Cola.  Both companies were born in the United States.  Coke is sold in 200 countries around the the word.  We have Asa Griggs Chandler to thank for that, whose marketing tactics brought Coke to its dominance of the world soft drink market throughout the 20th century.

The famous Coca-Cola logo was created by John Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank Mason Robinson in 1885.  Robinson came up with the name and chose the logos distinctive cursive script that everyone loves.  The typeface used, known as Spencerian Script was developed in the mid 19th century.

Pepsi has some history too but I have no desire to look it up anyway.  I'm sticking with Coke and only Coke because that's the drink I want to see more often in the hands of loyal soft drink  drinkers.

Coke has great taste and I hope you think so too and just remember if you want to open happiness, just have a Coke because Coke is it!

It's All About the Tie

Dear uniform, you look terrible, stained and worn.  I hate you. Except for the tie, that kept it classy.

I went to Regiopolis Notredame Catholic High School. The only colour tie I wore was garnet and gold, day in, day out.  I can't say I learned very much in high school, but if I learned anything at all during my 4 years there, it was "dress to impress".

When making a first impression with a potential employer, it is always a good idea to dress to impress. His or her judgment will start as soon as he or she sees what you're wearing. Thats why it's always important to dress for a job interview even if the work environment is casual.

What are some of the proper dress codes you might ask? Well there are a variety of do's and don'ts. More often than not, interview attire consists of a suit, long sleeve shirt, belt, tie, dress shoes, little to no jewelry, neat hair and a portfolio. Some don'ts would be a t-shirt and track pants or having no shoes at all (hint hint cool dudes, flip flops are a big no.) Also, don't bring your cell phone, Ipod or chew gum.

Make sure you dress to impress. You never know who's watching.  

Knowledge Is Power...Point

Yes, St. Lawrence strikes again with an assignment using this program Powerpoint created by Microsoft. It is part of the Microsoft suite, and runs on Microsoft windows and Apple’s Mac OS X operating system.

Microsoft Office Powerpoint 2010 for windows and Microsoft Office Powerpoint 2011 for Mac’s. Originally designed for the Macintosh computer. It’s first name was “Presenter” and it was developed by Melody Ausin and Ruckin Forethought. In 1987 it’s name was changed to “Powerpoint”. Powerpoint was officially launched on May 22nd 1990. Oh I couldn’t wait, if only I was born earlier to study this program.

The projects that have been assigned to me on Powerpoint have to do with making a slide show for KCHC. I also have another Powerpoint that deals with Molson Canadian Beer, I have to present the products history and advertising pitches.

This program pretty much shows what your brain is thinking and transforms it into an image format. Its also a great way to throw a sales pitch, define something, show its perks or lead you to a location.

When someone’s presenting a Powerpoint to you, their serious! Its like proving your point!

iMovie, iKeiffer

Do mac screens give you a tan? I wish.

I sat in front of this computer for hours on end on this program called iMovie and I swear, this was no picnik.  Cutting, pasting, editing, importing, exporting, ing.

Long story short, I had my MCOM1 class at St. Lawrence College. My class and I made two minute videos about our first 14 days at this school.  Easy, eh? It was clear, this was going to be interesting.

iMovie is full of tools to make great videos.  Anyone can make movies! You have moving titles, themes, text. All of this is crammed together to make legit and impressive videos with such precision and to your liking such as my class mate, Tanya Trombetta.

You're in complete control of this thing.  Every click matters.  Believe me.  Down to the milliseconds  you go.

What more can I say? You have to see it for yourself.  So far, I'm lovin' it and I hope you see it the same way because this is the new age. What you see is what you get.  I <3 iMovie.
