Sometimes the truth hurts but so what? Saying nothing (in my opinion) only perpetuates simplemindedness. With the increasing popularity of the internet/reality television and the antics “I've” witness when it comes to wanting to "be known" or make it "at any cost" - I absolutely agree with Miss Mary (above) and also feel that today's "Generation X" is in DIRE need of intellectual stimulation. Of course the internet has most definitely revolutionized the way we connect with each other and the societal benefit from this convenient method of communication has been nothing less than astounding. However, the biggest and most disturbing behavior I have observed as people connect & engage in discourse across these social networks (ie; blogs, chat rooms, facebook, myspace, (twitter intentionally left off as I refuse to create the mind space for that mess) etc.) a laissez-faire attitude toward general civility has been fostered and common courtesy and a general respect for others is slipping past while more and more personalities that fit the psychological profile of a high school bully or psychotic sociopath have gained prevalence, and I have absolutely no problem stating I have a problem with that, particularly the anonymous nature of the internet. I truly feel that it is increasingly desensitizing people to the impropriety of uncivil behavior. As always Great Blog TJ and a great topic...there's so much more I "could" say TJ…but since you know I can't think of a way of doing so without being insulting (especially when it comes to Twitter) I will digress ;-) Preach TJ, definitely feeling this one and do not be apologetic if you offend.

I complain about the mindlessness of TV today all the time. Then I get talked about for watching shows like 30 Rock, Boston Legal and Keith Olbermann. I never apologize for my neccessity for real intellectual stimulation and let's face it, that will never happen watching anything on BET, MTV or Bravo. Twitter has become like being back in junior high and high school where everyone does what someone else is doing so they can feel a part of the crowd. Good thing, I've been labelled a loner and an independent because we OFF that! I agree 200%! I complain about the mindlessness of TV today all the time.

This whole obsession with watching other people live their intimate lives on television has become quite ridiculous. As is the strong desire so many people have to be watched. I've never been exhibitionist or into voyeurism which is what these shows have really become. I don't think it's so much about if we can get deeper. There are plenty of quality programs out there to be watched that spark creativity, challenge intellect, and expand your mind. I believe it's about what people choose to watch.

LOL I cut off my cable a few months ago after almost kicking the screen in after making the mistake of watching Black In America 2. I was also inspired by someone I know who never watches TV but always seems to keep abreast of what's going on...Now do I get up everyday, sip my green tea/chai and faithfully read the NY Times from cover to cover or online, no...but I do manage to keep up..and as an added bonus, I am totally amazed at the time that has become available to me for all sorts of other interesting pursuits of happiness as a result of not wasting precious minutes viewing the idiot box, increasing someone else's ratings, and thereby padding someone else's pockets... oh yes, we all can definitely get deeper, stronger, smarter...every single day... and thus, move ourselves a little bit closer to our Creator given potential.

What you watch on the tube speaks volumes about you. Like you said, "all in moderation". It's cool to have a guilty pleasure, but you really shouldn't have too many that have no substance. I feel ya!

I have written many a cathartic list. :) Why are people tripping about Kanye? Give somebody (anybody, hell - me) a bottle of Hennessey and they will act a plum fool. Manners often go out the window when people are intoxicated. We all learned in kindergarten to stay in your seat and speak when its your turn. Kanye and Lil Mama forgot. (At least he was drunk. She's just batshit crazy.) Shit was ill but there are a million other truly newsworthy events happening in the world. I need Teej's poetry in my life! I had "Can It Be So Simple" stuck in my head on Tuesday. It was one of *those* nights. I'm praying that things smooth out, love. I am. You're right though, it is just a valley. We all have them but while we're there life can definitely feel flat, miserable, and intolerable. You are love and light. You'll rise to the top. Melancholy lists are sometimes a must!
