My thoughts continued

Did you ever have one of those moments where you thought to yourself  "What were they thinking?" I usually have these moments every time I watch television, particularly when it's Reality TV. 

    To clarify, I am talking about the kind of "Reality TV" that distorts the image of person so much that people begin to think this person is exactly like what they have seen on a particular tv show.

For instance, let's call the participant "Contestant X". Now Mr. X has just agreed to appear on a show called: "The Next Great Celebrity" or something like that. 

     The show would include doing dangerous stunts and eating disgusting things like insects all while being filmed living with crazy people in a large and well put together house.  Everything goes smoothly for the cast members and producers with Mr.X doing whatever they want him to do. Until, Mr. X  looks at the episodes that feature him.  In these episodes, he is potrayed as someone as rude, sloppy, and generally mean to the other contestants.

    When Mr.X  figures out what's going on, he promptly tries to get out of the competition by breaking all the rules in his contract. This would include showing an actual television "Master Control" and telling everyone what truly happens behind the scenes. Sometimes he wouldn't even show up when a "feud" was supposed to start.

   This would cause him to be let go by the production company and he would ultimately be sued for "exposing secrets".

Sound familiar?

This kind of thing is what would happen to anyone who would dare try to expose reality television for what it really is, A way for producers to entice unsuspecting people into supposed fame while making them look so incredibly stupid for the sake of ratings.

It may seem like I am just criticizing but I am just calling it like I see it. However, if  I wrong on any of this, please inform me in a respective way through the comments section.

My thoughts

I have always wondered what life would be like if people learned to accept another person's opinion. I am noticing this trend in both in the entertaiment industry and politics where if you disagree with an opinion that most regard as fact, you are treated as an outcast and consequently ridiculed.

   What is sad is that our society has gotten to the point where arguing about who's opinion is right and who is wrong seems to be an obsession for just about everyone involved.

Sometimes, I wish that we as a nation could go back to a time where you could have a decent debate. After which, you and that other person would agree to disagree , shake hands and go their seperate ways.

It doesn't have to be like this but unless we learn to accept another person's opinion, it will lead to more screaming matches.


   There are days when I look at the news from CNN snd MSNBC and I ask myself "Is there a place for journalistic integrity, and if so, where is it?"

It just bothers me that there are people that work in those organizations are so willing to characterize their "opposition" in a demeaning fashion. But when they are presented with actual facts, they are either speechles or they would resort to childish name-calling.

Will things ever change?

Only time will tell.

You know what grinds my gears

Today, I am going to talk about one of the many things that frustrate me in a post called "You Know What Grinds my Gears."

You Know What Grinds my Gears:
  

    People who do not listen to what another person has to say regardless of the information presented to them. For instance, let's say if you were to tell someone that the sky is blue and the other person said no because they were told that the sky is red.  You, being generous, try to show the other person the reasons why the sky is blue through science. Yet, that other person continually persists that what he/she heard was right and that you are wrong because that person heard it from someone who claims that he is smarter than anyone.

    So, being the bigger person, you figure that it's better to just walk away from the "conversation" rather than argue with an idiot who simply wants to prove that he/she is right all the time. Frankly, I think that either walking away or presenting the facts as they are is a much better alternative to getting into a screaming match with someone who just wants attention.

If only other people would get the message,  but sadly, it seems some people would rather spend time fighting with another person until that one person gives up.

Oftentimes, I ask myself  "Whatever happened to having a decent debate where people could just talk about the issues and offer solutions in a calm and pleasant manner?"

Then I ask " Can't we all just get along?"

My life, thus far

I have always been told what I was or was not able to do. From the moment I was born, most people were convinced that I would never be able to walk or do much of anything due to my premature birth.

Since then, I have proven people wrong about what I could do.

Now that I am in college, I am hoping to graduate with my associate degree so that I can start on my career path.

    I am confident that I'll make it.

What my goals are

I didn't think about what I wanted to do with my life until now. Animation and video games have always been hobbies that I have enjoyed since the age of 2. Now I would like to be apart of either industry... If it's possible.

introduction

 I am a well-versed and semi well-traveled young man with some cultural flair who only wishes to make my mark in the animation industry and/or the video game industry.

I hope to be an inspiration to future animators and programmers who want to create the next great franchise.

I am sort of new to Blogger, so please forgive me if I seem nervous.
