Random Crap…

In my latest installment of who gives a crap thoughts you never asked for, I’m just gonna spew out whatever comes into my head at the time. Today I am wearing my Mets shirt because we just landed the big fish pitcher who may lead us to baseball’s holy land. As I write this I am enjoying one of my guilty pleasures, the show Nothing but Trailers on HDNet. Thanks Mark! For some reason I enjoy watching commercials for movies that I will likely only see on the TV I am watching the commercial on. Besides, it’s better than every other channel bombarding us with election commercials full of sly wording and misleading promises. I really don’t like any politicians as they give me no reason to trust them, but we must pick one. Election garb or the daily update on the mentally ill also known as Brittney Spears. She has created so much attention for herself we’ve all forgotten about Jacko the Wacko and his daily escapades. What is our obsession with such things? Why do we care so much for those who entertain us outside of the entertainment itself? People often use athletes and celebrities as role models and I don’t understand why. These people are rich, mostly beautiful and most often not very bright. Personally, I think actors are highly overrated. It is well within every humans abilities to pretend to be someone else and say things we memorized an hour before that someone else wrote. At least athletes and musicians have skills, talents, and abilities that truly are unique. For the most part, they are also smart enough to keep out of the limelight. The real celebrities should be considered the directors, editors, and more importantly the writers. Without the writers, even Meryll Streep would be another unknown pretender. Now I’m just an outsider looking in, but this is just the impression I get. Movies and TV is fun and I enjoy it as much as the next guy, but we put too much importance on the people involved and it sends them into lifestyles that are not healthy.

That’s enough crap for now…go Mets and go Islanders!
