Do I have to wake up? Can’t I just stay in bed? I want to hide away from all the pain that is outside my door waiting for me. Everyone knows. It’s all his fault, you see I knew that he couldn't be trusted. I just fell for him… He had some sort of charm to his personality. He could have handled it better. Brad was just in it for the attention. I knew he never really loved me. I feel like an idiot and now it has ended in me hiding from society. What is my family going to say? Am I even going to have a family after today? My grandmother will probably have a heart-attack. My mother, God knows how she will react. She might send me to a gay rehabilitation camp… If those exist. My dad really is the wild card here. He could make my life harder than it needs to …show more content…
He needed a ‘distraction’. Wanted to use her for some fun. You know he cheated on her. He kept coming back every time.

I asked him what he was going to do about Sophia. He just sat there with a blank face. Obviously thinking of something to say that wouldn't hurt my feelings. He was certainly unsuccessful. He replied with “I don’t know, Maybe… Well I think I should stay with her… But I mean you know how I feel about you” I guess I was so in the moment that I completely forgot about that fact that he would be cheating on her. I just wanted to feel the way I used

Old Spice Commercial Analysis

Most of us have likely seen the Old Spice commercials featuring Isaiah Mustafa, AKA “The Old Spice Man.” The specific commercial I’ll be referencing starts off with confident Mustafa wearing nothing but a towel in a bathroom as he describes how “anything is possible” when a man wears old spice products. Mustafa shifts from bathroom, to a sailboat, to a beach and ends the commercial on a horse. All this in one continuous monologue without breaking eye-contact with the camera. In spite of the…
