It's time for a blog with some random thoughts....hope it doesn't turn into one of Larry King's old columns with such doozies like "I love the taste of white chocolate"...or something like that.
For starters, nice to see Dennis Rodman honored by the Pistons tonight by hanging his jersey in the rafters. One of the great all-time rebounders in the game, Rodman was a remarkable player who didn't need to engage in the on and off court nonsense he did. Being great at his craft should have been enough...
Rodman was part of the early heyday of reality TV, which is really no better now than it ever was. In fact, it is even more pervasive and in some cases, sicker than ever. Girls getting pregnant as a means to possibly make it on an MTV program about the subject is truly disgusting. If they are making some money off the show, it doesn't appear to worth the mess their lives have become.
Maybe I'm getting tired tonight but that Brawny ad for picking up messes strikes me as funny as the cartoon logger sings "call on me brother...when you need something strong"...like I said....may be getting tired here.
My friend, Deb in California is NEVER tired however and I always appreciate her wise comments and wise cracks for that matter. She agreed with my changing channels blog in which I lamented about how NBC is Channel 4 in New York, but 3 in Sacramento, for example.
"What is equally frustrating is the advent of cable and satellite television. If you switch providers, the channel numbers sometimes change. So, you don't even have to move anymore to experience having to learn a new set of channel numbers...just switch your television provider. What frustrates me more than that though, is the time thing. My favorite shows are on at a certain time. If I go to the Bay area, they are an hour earlier. This has nothing to do with the time zones as we are the same here as the Bay Area. Again, it's a cable/satellite provider issue. Wouldn't it be nice if they just kept things the same? I think they like to confuse us on purpose. LOL!"
Good stuff Deb...keep those thoughts coming and we'll blog again Saturday!
