wolven7The 1/4 that I enjoy is "The West Wing." The rest can go fuck itself.
Why am I discussing my television preferences, you ask? Because there is a new show, on television that, by way of its sensationalistic crappary, makes me want to vomit on certain groups of people, while beating them to death with hammers and cricket bats. "Sports Kids Moms and Dads." An entire show about people living, vicariously, through their children's sports "careers." We are talking about children between teh ages of 7 and 16. Force, taunting, tormenting these children to do well. Literally with-holding love and acceptance, if these children do poorly. In Sports. I can understand and put up with a lot of shit, and i can understand the mechanism by which these people's lives fell down around them, but there are some things that I just won't abide.
And now I learn that there is some show, on MTV, called "I Want a Famous Face," where they don't actually pay for your surgery, but they stand by and chronicle it. I'm reminde d of something i saw, earlier today, on The West Wing. Joey Lucas (Marlee Matlin) tells Josh Lymon (Bradley Whitford), that numbers lie, all the time. That if numbers didn't lie, 73% of the people polled wouldn't say that they were sick of a sex scandal, while the circulation of any newspaper, carrying the story of said scandal, went up.
People say they detest these people... but give them shows and credence... Why?
In more pleasant news, this is Katie West : http://www.avolare.net/photos/self/
And Here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/diosa_en_disfra/
She takes beautiful pictures, with well-arranged subjects and frames...
No, i don't know her personally. I've only heard of her, through other people, one of whose judgements i trust, pretty well, 'cause she's always been pretty honest with me.
I'm tired of this world, so much, recently.
Let's change it.
