So I haven't posted on here in awhile, been doing some adjusting to my new home. I had scary night #2 about two weeks ago, which I almost called the police on. I was watching a movie when I heard two people arguing in the hall. One was telling the other "you better not come back, I'm gonna stab you n****!" Then the door shut and I heard him muttering under his breath after the other had left. The next morning there were gang tags on one of the windows. I guess I do live in the ghetto...
I have recently noticed something crazy about advertisements. I was searching for a costume on Amazon, to see if it was cheaper than the stores. Later I was on a networking site and an ad for Amazon popped up, with the exact costume I had searched! Tonight, it was even more crazy. I was instant messaging someone about various interests, and they mentioned that they were getting in line early to get the big rig toy at Fleet Farm the following morning. After refreshing the page I noticed on advertisement for the doorbuster prize that this person had just mentioned. Creepy, huh?
I went to a Meetup a week ago and one of the girls in this Meetup works for online advertisements, and she said that this is common. It's all computerized, but this is why you get coupons at Target that likely is stuff you are interested in. For example, I have an electronic toothbrush and buy my replacement heads at Target all the time. I swear my Target card keeps track of this because every time I go through the checkout I get coupons for Sonicare products. I also buy a lot of clothing there so I get coupons for clothes too.
It is so weird to think that somewhere out there is a huge database that has all your information about your shopping habits, preferences, and likes. It is kind of nice, though, because then you get coupons for stuff that you buy anyways. It's a lot easier than trying to clip coupons in the Sunday ads, which is usually all for junk food anyways. Speaking of which, I am going to start a juicing diet within the next couple weeks. I am not going to go hard core, 3x a day, no meat or dairy, but I am going to juice at least one meal a day. I talked to my brother, who has tried it with his wife, and they are going to help me start by showing how they juice. Anybody else have any experience with this? I'm getting mixed reviews, a lot of people saying it's either too time consuming or that it's not good to do unless you consult with your doctor. I'll have to see how it goes.
