Each day, when beginning the 3-7pm show on KKFM--I look through the weird stories we get at the station, coupled with some surfing of the net and odd TV features I may have seen that morning or the day before. WHY? because let's face it...we need the distractions. The Gazette is running a series of articles on the struggles and strains of the economy.It is very well put together with stories so far on foreclosures, and the unfortunate" going out of business" stuff that is plaguing the local retail scene. It ain't fun readin'! Look, down the road I think we are going to emerge from all of this stuff--it is complicated and painful for all of us right now. That is why we look to the "Octo-mom" or "crazy chimp lady" for distraction, and maybe some laughs here and there. American Idol continues to be the empty calorie dish of TV..we know it is not good for us , yet it momentarily satisfies!
Reality shows abound on the cable channels for that same reason. Paul Blart Mall Cop makes huge dollars over Academy Award nominated more serious movies. We lose ourselves in the intricately woven fantasies of LOST, we still watch Dancing with the Stars , we wonder what "Brangelina" was thinking about when Jennifer Aniston was on stage. Distractions are not a bad thing right now! don't feel guilty..ENJOY!
