I remember an Old Spice commercial from a few years ago that, quite frankly, was a great piece of art than any of the movies that have ever won an Academy Award. This commercial starred a man so talented, so iconic, so downright amazing, that no piece of hardware could be given that would give him justice.
Hail to the King, baby. You know I'm talkin about Ash himself. Bruce Campbell. A man who can only be described as 'groovy.'

Some of you have probably never seen Evil Dead, and it's 2 awesome sequels, Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness. Do yourself a favour and give'em a watch, you will no doubt start screaming THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK for no particular reason and you probably won't trust your own hand again, and you'll probably spend hours looking at youtube videos of the cast of Evil Dead: The Musical singing Do the Necronomicon. But that's neither here nor there.
Experience is a funny thing. Cynics out there would probably say that people can be easily lumped into categories, and once you figure out which category somebody belongs to, you can predict exactly what they'll do in any given situation.
Is this true? I hope not. I'd like to think people are more interesting than this. I think it's fair to say that people act according to their prior experiences. And I'd like to think that each person's experiences are so unique that it makes them less predictable, not more. The minutae of life fascinate me. What small things affect who we become? My favourite moments in conversation are when somebody says something about an event in their life that may seem insignificant, but when you put it in the right light, explains more about them than when they share a seemingly much more traumatic or earth shaking experience. They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but as Bruce Campbell claims, experience is much more telling.
Of course, could we expect anything less from the man who gave the world the greatest advice ever?
Say it with me. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart!
