...or even talking about...since we are on the topic is any news worth it??...
day 101...
so i totally went on yahoo to see if there was something worthy writing about or what was trending at the moment; literally here were my choices, how the stock market fell again --> depressing; how pres. obama did this or that & how mitt romney is now the strongest candidate for the republican party --> blah, blah, blah; how janet jackson is skinny again --> people don't hold your breath she'll be fat just like me next week (janet, i love you, but we have the same issues); how some woman decided to say that she had cancer in order to get her dream wedding --> yes i just typed that; i am actually surprised there is not something trending about justin bieber --> gag me hard core; however if you are wondering melissa's ethridge's ex, wants more money --> cause the 23K/mo. she is receiving now is not enough; and among other things, how the arkansas football coach got fired b/c guess what he f---ed up --> SHOCKER...
yes this the 21st century, and this is our news...everything is so depressing or who is f--in' who over, really...and it keeps getting worse...you know why, because majority of society wants to read this crap; we get sucked into who kim kardashian is screwing or how awful things have become in today's society...so what does this cause people to do, to act increasingly more like morons...b/c there is a possibility that they might get a headline in tomorrow's newspaper...i am not saying it is all our fault nor am i saying it is all the newspaper's fault, we are both to blame (i am pointing my big fat finger at me too)...i just want to read something good, well i want to read it on the front page; not on the 5th page of section F...
...we have begun to glorify bad behavior or focus on the negative...& we stopped focusing on the positive...before you jump up my a*# for thinking nothing bad happens or that we shouldn't talk about bad events; there should be a balance or at least the good should out weigh the bad...
what i learned from teaching that can be applied not only to the news, but to everyday life --> always start with a positive & end with a positive...if you give the most attention to the undesired behavior than that behavior will keep occurring while the desired behavior is ignored & then it will eventually decrease...people want attention (hell, look at me, i am 30 yr old nut job who is writing a blog everyday, HELLO can we say desperate for attention)...people like attention...so let us give attention where it should be...
remember -- positivity breeds positivity...
NOW GO DO GOOD and then spread the good news ;)
PS -- check out HAPPY NEWS!
