smiley face

Hello there. Welcome.

So I'm kind of weird because I'm always seeing faces, shapes and letters (but mostly faces) in every day objects as well as architecture and nature such as rocks, trees, clouds, etc. (I think Bret is sick of me pointing these out to him, actually). This may be one of the reasons I tend to attribute human personalities and feelings to inanimate objects, but that's another story....

I know there's some weird name for this condition but I can't remember what it's called off the top of my head, anyway I have it bad. For example, I remember seeing a witch's profile in the branches of a pine tree outside my window growing up that used to scare me so much I wouldn't sleep. Most of these "sightings" aren't scary though, usually just intriguing. So I was pleased to see this very creative and well executed commercial by American Express. It's not new so I'm sure most of you have already seen it (and perhaps, like myself, was so distracted by the images that it took you at least five times before you realized what was being advertised), but it's good to know that there's other people out there like me. I thought I'd put it up here so you could get a peek into how I see the world.


My favorite is the yellow plane at the end. It looks so cheerful.

Okay, we are so alike. I also LOVE this commercial and do the same thing (seeing faces everywhere). And the plane at the end is also totally my favorite. They had to recognize how cute he was and therefore secured his placement at the end.

I have never seen this commercial before...but I loved it. I tend to do this same thing while using the facilities. The swirls on bathroom floor tiles can be quite the little masterpieces. I guess my creativity is a little heightened in my most vulnerable moments...
