my aunt developed cancer on her esophagus a few months ago. she went and had surgery, and thankfully is on her way to a full recovery after being in the hospital a while. when she was in the hospital, our family got a bunch of the livestrong bracelets. i thought them to be a fad, but when a family member or someone close has cancer, you just kind of start wearing it. i’m proud of it. now here’s the thing….at the hornets game i went to friday night, i saw this kid with an adidas rubber bracelet on. i know livestrong means awareness for cancer, and i know the pink ones mean breast cancer, but what does a plain adidas bracelet mean? it means, to me anyway, that adidas is trying to capitalize on something for their own profits. i went searching on google tonight to find an example of this lack of originality and ended up finding these nike bracelets. why do companies have to copy off of things so blatently? i know the livestrong bracelets are getting popular, and that’s good. but i hope the people who wear them know the meaning behind them.

tonight i watched “win a date with tad hamilton”. i know i know. i thought it was good though, no matter what y’all say. sometimes i enjoy watching cheesy movies. just nothing with freddie prinze jr. :)
