What I heard the other day...

So..

I was watching TV the other day.. As I do..

Because really..

It is so GD hot in AZ that during the day.. Unless you want to deal with some serious swamp ass, you stay inside until the sun goes down..

And even then.. that is debatable..

Anyway,

I was shocked by what I was hearing on TV.

Have we become so desensitized that we do not become offended anymore by what the writers are putting into these shows?

Due to this,

I did some serious thinking over the weekend. What happen to shows like Alice, The Dick Van Dyke Show, The Dean Martin Show.. Even The Muppet Show.

To me, I might only be 32, but those were good shows. Funny, you could relate to their situations, you could learn something from them.

They had a lesson. They didn't need to swear or drop the N word. They were just funny and relatable.

Don't get me wrong, I did have a Bridezillas marathon yesterday.. But I think that was to ensure that if and when I ever get married, I don't treat my friends and family like those women did.

And I have seen my fair share of reality shows, crime drama's and what not..

But in thinking about it..

I stopped watching those because they are depressing.. and really.. If I wanted to be depressed.. I could watch the news.

I think that it is time for a change in the world.. And this starts with one person.

I think we need to start learning again. And being kinder to one another.. It only really takes one smile to change someones day. Which by the way.. can COMPLETELY freak someone out. Which is kind of fun to take them out of their self absorbtion and back to reality for a second.

With all that I have been thinking about the past 2 days.. I have decided to take classes through my local city and learn something.

Socialize with more people on a like minded level and move away from the TV.

Time to get back to what reality really is and not what they show (scripted) on TV.
