Pampers Won Me Over With Their Commercial, So I Wrote About It

Hi there! I’ve been posting every day since January 1, 2020, which I can hardly believe myself. Back then, I had no idea the streak would go on for this long. I had no idea I’d be able to come up with enough things to write about. I write about relationships, movies, politics, current events, but I started gravitating towards TV/streaming commercials for two reasons: 1) The ads are good in one way or another and 2) the music. It turns out that people are as curious as I am about music that plays as the soundtrack for a commercial. For instance, one recent post is about baby diapers. I have very, very little experience with diapers but I watched the entire commercial because of the song. I liked the song enough to post about it that day.

That’s sort of the process for my posts, I guess. If it grabs my attention, I’ll write about it. When I woke up that one diaper-post morning, I had no idea I’d be writing about Pampers. I’ll be totally honest, there are a lot of days like that… where I wake up without any idea for what I’ll post. I like the challenge of posting every day because on those “unknown” days, I’m forced to think about what interests me or what I think might interest you. It’s a great way to keep from getting in a rut or a daily routine of going through the motions of being an adult. Work, groceries, chores, etc.

So I guess I’m thankful for diapers, but not in the same way at all as a parent whose baby just had a blowout.
