In this first commercial, breaking February 17, for Verizon’s FiOS TV and Internet campaign, Jerry Bruckheimer’s boy, Michael Bay, is seen hyping his own over-the-top obsession to blow things up. From The Rock to Armageddon to Pearl Harbor to Transformers, Bay is all about blowing things away and that’s the central message of this campaign: Verizon blows away the competition when it comes to internet upload and download speeds.

Bay is all about commanding things to be awesome and he has a lot of fine commanding his mini-explosions in this ad. If you’re a fan of his work and big Daddy Jerry Bruckheimer’s (we admit we are fans of both) then you’ll love the goofiness of this commercial. And that damn theme music. Jerry Bruckheimer started it back with The Rock, Armageddon or Crimson Tide in the mid-nineties and it’s been sending chills through us ever since.

I’ve been waking up at 5:30 a.m. for three years straight and the hardest part isn’t the discipline – it’s realizing that the quiet hour before anyone needs me is the only time I actually recognize myself

I grew up in the 1970s when nobody asked how I was feeling and honestly, I think that’s why I can sit with discomfort in a way my own kids never learned — because I was never taught that every uncomfortable moment required immediate intervention

I’m 77 and the hardest part of retirement isn’t boredom or loneliness. It’s sitting across from my wife at breakfast and realizing we spent forty years building parallel lives under the same roof and now there’s nothing between us and that fact.

A well-timed silence does more damage in an argument than any sentence ever could — because words give the other person something to fight against but silence gives them nothing and a person with nothing to push back on is forced to sit with what they just said and that’s where the real reckoning happens

Nobody talks about why so many retired people suddenly care deeply about things that seem trivial – the garden, the bird feeder, the perfect sourdough – but psychologists say these aren’t hobbies, they’re the first projects in decades where the only metric of success is personal satisfaction
