When my Norton anti-virus alarm comes up on my computer and tells me I'm in danger, I get a sort of thrill. I know I'm doing something wrong, therefore...I feel dirty. I feel as though I'm exposed and living on the edge in danger...with the virus...and its intentions to do me harm...yet, I do not renew...I forge ahead and risk it all opening programs, closing them, all with disregard to the warning that I'm "at risk". They're very serious about it, those Nortons. I admire their tenacity f o r sure! Yet, I wonder how much fun they're truly having. Anyway, I hope they get out in the sun time to time. There's lots to see and do. In my backyard, currently, the South American hummingbirds are at one another. No, really, there are full out hummingbird wars going on back there. I love those little guys, I just hate to see 'em fight. I'm gonna talk to 'em later.
So, I haven't blogged in a while. Thought I might have forgotten how. Then slowly it comes back to you. You realize that if there can be such a show made, then aired, all about tanning, you have to get out there and socialize a bit more with people and let them know that there is definitely more to life than this...tanning show. So, this blog is serving a few puproses, ok, firstly......if you know the NOrtons personally, go meet them and ask them to dinner, they seem to have nothing better to do than to point out other people's dangers and inadequacies and make them feel bad and dirty, take them to dinner and love them, the NOrtons, show them there's fun to be had, even by them. Secondly, hummingbirds have frustrations just like the rest of us. Theirs may actually be worse. So, take this opportunity to listen to the little guys in your life, stop ignoring them, give them some more sugar water and let them know you see what's going on and yes, you care. Nextly, the tanning show. You don't have to watch it, or understand it, I don't think one can understand it, so move on, don't try to make sense of why anyone put this show on the air, it's ok, there are people who think this is quality television, you don't have to have them over for Thanksgiving dinner. And I'm sure their nice folks, but come on people, let's be part of the solution to quality, not the opposite by adding to the shallow trash that just keeps coming at us....relentlessly...unapologetically. You don't have to wonder how some people get paid to do this. You can only hope that one day your own talent will be discovered and placed upon a television set...but please, make it a good talent. Be part of the answer when searching for your entertainment and choose wisely. If you don't we may all suffer for it. It's up to us really isn't it. I was totally afraid of that, myself, I'll try to do my part. Until then, be well and get out there amongst it all. peace n love, Jennie (ps, new record coming soon, very soon, very very very soon!)
