RedBox Promo Code for September 15th
Okay, so I don't know if anyone actually takes advantage of my random weekly RedBox messages, Eric said something along the lines of 'what's a RedBox?' a while ago, so allow me to explain a little better what these promo codes are and why I keep posting about them… So, every Monday I’ve been posting a goofy looking 6 digit ‘promo code’ and telling everyone to go get a free movie rental, but seeing as how I haven’t gotten any sort of confirmation that anyone is taking me up on my offer, here’s the deal. The official answer given by the company to Eric’s question is as follows:
Redbox (full name: redbox automated retail LLC--sorta like Throckmorton Automated Monkeyshins III) is the leading renter of DVDs through automated kiosks in the known universe. Redbox continues to revolutionize, scandalize and reorganize the DVD rental industry as it expands its red footprint inside McDonald's restaurants and grocery stores such as Smith's Food & Drug Stores, Giant and Stop & Shop. Don't be surprised if redbox shows up in other locations, either.
So, basically it is an automated DVD rental machine that allows you to rent a movie for a night for $1.00, with each additional day you keep it costing another dollar. To take advantage of the codes I keep posting all you have to do is go to any Redbox, there is one outside of the McDonalds on the NW corner of campus or you can go online to their website Redbox.com to find a more convenient location, and browse through the movie selection, add the one you want to your ‘shopping cart’ and then before checking out press the ‘Enter Promo Code’ button on the bottom row of the touch-screen. You have to swipe a credit/debit card to set up your account and so that they can charge you if you decide that you can’t bear to return the new Brad Pitt flick. You have to rent the movie by midnight the day, Monday, that I post the code and return it by 9:00 PM the following day, Tuesday, to get the free rental.
Now that I’ve gotten that outta the way, here is the Promo Code for today, Tuesday September 15th: 2THS48. Feel free to e-mail me Michael.Whitfield@Drake.edu or Lanthimus2@Yahoo.com if you have any questions.

Get a degree and don't kill anyone
I think that as a person goes through life, their goals change in relation to their situation at the time. As a child, the majority of us weren’t too concerned with making sure that our 401(k) plan was diversified enough for retirement, the more enjoyable aspects of life and having fun were our primary foci; snowball fights, Legos, and cartoons were the most important things we knew. As we grew older, our world got smaller and we began to focus more on school and trying to figure out what to do after high school. Now, the point after high school, our goals deal with life after college, whether this means grad school or finding a job in the ‘real world’. I can only guess what my goals will be 5-10 years down the road, but I would assume I’ll be settling down with a lady crazy enough to want to be with me til death and I’ll be thinking about children at some point. After the kids are done with college and I’ve got grandkids on the way, I’ll probably be looking at a house on the beach someone tropical. And at the very end, I’ll be looking back on my life and preparing to meet my maker.
So, I guess the goal at the end of it all is to be able to look back with fond memories and hope for eternity floating on a nice fluffy cloud next to Gabriel. But, saying that looking forward to death is everyone’s goal seems a little depressing, so I’ll focus more on the goals I’m currently dealing with. Independence is the goal that I can say without a doubt is my top priority. I’d like to be able to provide for myself before I decide to bring anyone else into this world that I have to provide for. I think that independence is a goal that is manifested in different ways throughout life; as a kid we want to be independent enough to spend the night at a friend’s house without too much supervision, as a teenager we’d like to be able to stay out until we decide to come home, as an adult we’d like the responsibility to own our own house, and eventually we all want to be independent enough to not have to work any longer.
As far as a method or approach to reaching independence, I’m not too sure if there is a universal path to follow. Based on my definition of independence, living on your own without any supervision, I’d recommend getting an education and not committing any felonies. Neither of these are needed to live on your own; plenty of people live comfortably without a PhD and even doing 15-20 in the big house doesn’t prevent someone from living on their own after being released. An article put out by the U.S. Census Bureau back in ’02 pointed out that the average lifetime earnings for someone without a high school diploma was about $1 Million, whereas a high school graduate made $1.2 Million, Associates Degree $1.6 Million, Bachelors Degree $2.1 Million , Masters Degree $2.5 Million, and Professional Degree $4.4 Million. This is not to say that money solves all your problems just that it makes it a lot easier to deal with them. I think that the whole ‘not committing a felony’ thing is kind of self explanatory; not too many people consider themselves independent while behind bars. The bureau of Justice released statistics in 2002 dealing with the re-incarceration of former inmates which said that over 50% of those released in 1994 were back in jail within 3 years, not good odds.
