You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

right there with you, quester. it's why i've been tuning out the news lately. it wouldn't be so bad if they could actually come up with new material, but no. it's the same crap over and over again...

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Here is the thing about Pope Death, MJ, and (sorry) Charlie wedding. The reason the networks cover it to death is not that people are clamoring for 24 hour coverage. The reason they give it 24 hour coverage is that a non-news news event is the cheapest TV that it is possible to make that people will watch., It ischeaper than reality shows, cheaper than talk shows. A test pattern would be cheaper still, and if people would watch a test pattern with commericals there would be a test pattern channel. But even if a lot of them grumble, most people will not turn off all Michael Jackson all the time. Or news flash: Pope still dead! It does not matter if people love it or are enthusiastic. If they turn it on, so the nets have eyeballs and ears to sell to advertisers, they don't care whether we would rather watch something else - as long as we don't shut the set off.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm catching up on the last 2 weeks of my tv shows and all the news snippits are about Terri Shiavo. I could share that with you.
