My Neighborhood



Ridgecrest California. Small Town in the dessert of Southern California encircled by the Mountains adjacent to the Naval Air weapons station China lake. The neighborhood I grew up in was more middle class I was never rich nor was I poor. Ridgecrest was modernized town. I wasn’t surrounded by the urban area with the hence of it being "dangerous" It was more peaceful and really quite, but that’s just how the town is not much goes on. Kids in the area are usually always are occupied with the outdoors we were surrounded by dessert and mountains there were plenty of things to do.

I am who I am today because of the neighborhood I lived in. Even though Ridgecrest was a small town it was easier for kids to get hooked on things they shouldn’t such as drugs at a early age. I kept myself busy by staying interactive with sports and choosing the right crowd of friends. So I’m proud of where I’m from and how I grew up because I learned how to respect everyone and always remain positive no matter the outcome.

Monkey See Monkey Do?

 Advertisement's are everywhere nowadays and its easily brought to your attention weather its from commercials ads, cellphone ads, or just the simple billboard ads. Usually ads that come to my attention are the ones with an attention grabbing slogan or the ones that just have the most airtime, you know the ads that are everywhere? I see advertisement as "Monkey see monkey do", You ask why? well simply because most advertisements are modeled by top superstars across the world, so having these famous people model there ad is only going to make there fans want to go out and buy there product.  The ad up top is known as "Proactiv" as of right now it is advertised by the worlds top RnB Singer "Justin Beiber". His image is impeccable so his fan base will go for the product.

Like I said before, the ads that come to my attention are the ones that have the most air time or the attention grabbing slogans. In this case its "Allstate",All state is the nations second leading Insurer There slogan is Allstate stands are you in good hands" That slogan will forever be in the back of my mind, The model for the Allstates commercials and the slogans are so succinct that "Allstate" might be in your mind when choosing Insurance. So when im finally searching for insuence im pretty sure im going to go with Allstate.
