Time Wasters Anonymous: Celebrity News Makes Me Feel Dirty
I just got my fill of all the latest goings-on with the celebrity world. I went at it for almost 7 straight minutes, indulging my seedy side with all the news about anybody who is anyone famous. Why do I even care? I think I don’t.
Maybe I’m just bored. No, maybe I’m a sick voyeur. In either case, whenever I see all that tabloid stuff (which now appears in all the non-tabloids as well), it kinda’ makes me feel dirty. It’s pretty trashy fare. I’m just glad you and I aren’t the ones making that sort of news. Or…do we wish we were? Let’s not go there.
I’m not going to name names, but you know who all the hunks and starlets are I’m talking about. So many scandals and relationship faux pas that it makes your head spin. Then harsh reality sets in: what the heck am I doing?!
I want to not care one iota. But, there I am back again reading all this garbage about some person I have no personal investment in, and who has none in me. Couldn’t my time be better served in much more productive ways? Why yes, YES it could.
I love the Internet, even when it sucks me down paths I’d prefer not to go. I’ve got so many hopes and dreams tied up in the Web. I want to be a blazing entrepreneur, a comedy writer, and a disrespected video nut (well, I already am, and I can’t seem to stop making some of the dumbest vid’s out there. But, it is too much fun). Oh, and by the way, do not ever give a man a video camera for a gift. You’ll very rarely see him again.
I think the truth is that I am a shameless self-promoting maniac. However, I believe that is what you must risk becoming if you’re ever to make a name for yourself. And maybe I’m just deluding myself. You can still become a raving success without anyone really knowing who you are. I guess my shameless style is just who I am. So, I have to accept that and move forward.
I’m constantly working toward achieving my every goal. And, I don’t appear to have it in me to ever quit. And as we all know, the journey always seems to trump the destination. And, it’s a fine fun journey I’m on, if I do say so myself.
Enough about me. Way more than enough. Except that if I can take this journey, so can you, my friend. The hills are alive with the sound of…endless opportunity. So, get out there and make it happen. All you have to do is determine what “it” is. And that you can do today.
