Writers strike

I'd like to believe that I am not the only 'series buff' there is! I'm sure there's someone out there who feels my frustration. The writers strike is affecting everything good on tv, I mean just take a look; Heroes, Desperate Housewives, Smallville, Nip Tuck, House, Prison Break, Ugly Betty, The Tonight Show, to name a few. A friend of mine was telling me the other day bout how he wants to write a book so that, he wouldn't be so dependent on these series and the way make our blood pressure rise up. Thats on of the best ideas I've heard in a while. Why dont we all become writers and then, we'll switch our stories amongst ourselves. Then we wouldnt be affected by the writers strike.

The strike has been on since the 5th of November, one of the issues is more money for work that goes into new media, such as DVD's or online TV. Now, I'm one for equity and all, but why do people always crave more money.

More money brings more problems. Now they are asking for money from new media, soon they'll ask for money from shows downloaded on limewire or something. Well, this isn't my battle, so I think I'll go ahead with the suggestion given by my buddy...I'll write my own series or better yet, you write yours and send it to me to read!

End of year blues

We've come to that time of the year, where we are forced to look back and analyze our successes and failures during the year. Unfortunately, no amount of ifs can change the outcome of our actions, what we can do is to plan for the next year and try our best to stick to our decisions. Don't get me wrong...I am not an advocate for 'new year resolutions', I believe that they are just rituals or should I say rules that we make for ourselves, only to fall short and feel bad.

Let your resolution this coming year be no more resolutions, down with the practice of self dejection and pacification. Personally, I have taken my diary out and written down what I want to achieve next year, and the steps I need to take to get there. I'm stepping out of the blues...lol, I sure had a really blue year, but thats another story, lets leave that for the last weeks in the year, and I promise you a summary of my experience this year.

However, What is most important is that we have things to be grateful for, I believe that no matter how miserable life has been so far, there must have been days when you smiled, days when you laughed so hard that you farted and even laughed some more...those were the days.

I'm going to end on this note, make the best of today, cause that is really all we have control off. Stop worrying, stop contriving, let go of past baggage. When you go to sleep tonight, smile and say thank you for the opportunity to go to sleep at night.
