Introductions et. al.

Hello,
My name is Canaan Merchant and I like to watch commercials. I'm also a 22 year old (as of 2009) english student at George Mason University. I don't have many hobbies but I like to listen to music, play it when the opportunity arises, see if there is a wikipedia article about every little thing I come across and urban planning. From time to time I'll write about those things, this is my blog with which to indulge in my vanity after all, but mainly I want to talk about commercials. I think people often look past commercials and disregard them merely using them as a break to pee or get a sandwich. I instead have asked "why do I have to bored during this time? Can't there be a way for me to engage with these commercials that goes beyond me seeing what they are trying to sell and and me simply buying it?" This then, is my attempt. I'm going to talk about the commercials that I watch and I'll try to see if there isn't anything more to discern. This blog is meant to be light hearted though. I'll mainly write about what I think is funny and not about sticking to the man that is Corporate America (Though I think by exposing the absurd I'll probably be a little subversive like it or not). So if you're looking for a friend to rail against the evil capitalist empire with then I'm probably not the best candidate. That said I hope this can work out and we can begin enjoying commercials. Whether advertisers like it or not.
