V-Day...A Rose by Any Other Name Would Smell as Sweet

Valentine's Day. A day that to many different people has many different names....

Valentine's Day. Singles' Awareness Day. Men Get in Trouble for Not Doing Enough Day. Day to focus on what you have, or what you don't have in the relationship department. Pink and Red Day. Love Day. Cliche Day to Propose. "You Better Call the Florist" Day. Day to Hook Up. Day to Get Together. Awkward Day for New Relationship. The Worst Day in the World to Break Up. A Day to Get Back Together.

No matter what you call it...OR what it means to you...it's all centered around love.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.

The Only Time We Really Look Forward to Commericals

It's funny because any other time we dread commercials. They always seem to come on at the most inopportune times. Like when you're watching your favorite television show, and just when a big moment happens and you're waiting to see what the next move will be, the commercials come on. UGH!

Except for one day. One day in all the year people turn to their TV to actually SEE the commercials.

Unless you actually watch the Superbowl for the actual game, you know what I'm talking about. The Superbowl Commericals.

Companies spend millions of dollars for less than a moment of your time on this day. And I love it. I love seeing the commercials that make me laugh, and ones that make me emotional. They are all very entertaining.

Superbowl commercials are the ones that are remembered for years. From the Budwesier "Frogs" to the 1979 "Mean Joe Greene" Coke commercial.

Even if they aren't successful in getting viewers to purchase their product, Superbowl commercials still get the respect of producing one of the most memorable commercials that will be the hottest topic at the watercooler. Oh and they serve as a refuge for those who are forced to watch the superbowl against their will.

I Whip My Kids Back and Forth..

She's the newest child sensation. It seemed like she appeared out of no where...and now she's everywhere. Willow Smith. Well, she certainly has the name of a celebrity's child. And that she is....the 10-year-old daughter of Will and Jada.

Willow has a hit song called "Whip My Hair", has starred in movies, and the Smith family has recently announced that she will be starring in a remake of the play "Annie". She will be playing Annie of course.

Whenever I see a young celebrity, and when I say "young" I mean under the age of 21, I instantly shudder. I shudder because it seems like every child star has the same old story. Think about it: Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears. Even Michael Jackson. You know how it goes.

And when I think about this, I think about Willow Smith's parents, who are also celebrities. They of all people should know how stardom can negatively affect a person. And yet.....here she is ladies and gentleman, Willow Smith.

So what exactly are Will and Jada Smith doing(they have their 12-year-old son in the business as well)? Some say it's all about making that money. They realized that they can make a lot of profit off of their dear, talented daughter. Who could resist? Well I say maybe they are doing it because they know how the industry is and they know how to protect their child. Maybe because they are in the business, they know how it works, and therefore know just how to avoid the negative affects it can have a child's life.

But....I guess we won't truly know until years go by and life runs it's course.
