No More Creativity and Imagination on TV

It has recently occurred to be that the art of TV is dead! Flipping through channels to find something decent  to watch on TV is impossible these days. especially, with birth of reality TV. I remember a time, when cartoons were important to a child imagination and way of expression. Now it seems as kids are forced to grow up way too fast, because of adult content and themes in today's world. Look what today's shows have to present, Jerry Springer, Maury, South Park, Family Guy, these shows have serious implications on how a child views and sees the world, because they feel that they now they don't have to respect and listen to authority. The parents have a hard time controlling them because they are not around to supervise them to see what they are watching on TV. I remember Thunder cats in the 80's was the thing to watch after school, and how my friends and I couldn't wait to go home. How about family oriented shows such as Different Strokes, Jefferson, Facts of Life,Three's Company and the lesson one can retain from watching these programs. Now we are force to listen to sex. drugs, lies and gossip, because these are the only things society values, that we can teach our children. I find it hard to believe, especially in a world  filled of  gifted writers,editors  and producers. Are you telling me, there is no such thing as creativity and imagination left? If that's the case, why don't we  have a reality TV show about  inspiring writers editors, and producers who can produce a great show. To counter the garbage and nonsense we are forced to watch these days, only because people find gossip and meaningless talk entertaining. If this  trend keeps up, I am sorry to see what to be made of the next ten years, as art and imagination is evaporating from today's world, leaving the imprints of what we had in the past. Which was creativity, imagination, escape, fun, and enjoyment.

Creative Ways To Ring In The New Year

This  upcoming New Year, give your standard goals a twist by focusing on what really matters, rather than the words of all those mad-hatters. Try a resolution makeover this year. Thinking outside the box can help turn old patterns around. Free your mind and lighten your life. By thinking outside the box your mind will be free to roam and do the things you love, instead of focusing on the things you want and wish you'd had. Try to focus on activities you truly love to do. Try to learn something new everyday that will help your progress your growth as a human being in the ever changing world where ideas and information are  now easily accessible to you. Don't get caught up in the materialism of world, which will add o stress and depression, remember money comes and goes, but your health is your longevity.Spend more time with the ones that care about you, and less time around  the people that belittle your goals and ambitions. Quit those hazardous things that are bad for your health and take on more physical exercises, like nature filled adventures. Remember the world  is your domain, and here for you to explore one time, so travel and venture out to the shores, hills, valleys, peaks, etc. Take up hiking, fishing, mountain biking, rock climbing, etc,  things that will help your health and boast your confidence, and direct  you to a better and healthier living.

Act Now! Act Fast! New World Order Is Here....

A global crisis, without an end in sight, there are going to be many things to consider, as new changes are going to be in store, if we the citizens, don't act and protest to our local and Federal governments about the concerns at hand. Not only in the United States, but the entire world, which is going eradicate the middle class even more so, leaving those who have it, and those who don't. Take a long  and hard look on whats going on right now, our rights, liberty, privacy and freedom, are slowly being taken away from us, but our rights to defend ourselves still exist, as we need to demonstrate and speak out on these political concerns. We have rights and liberty as citizen of this world, to express the concerns and wrong doings, to make right again. As citizens of this world, why are we not entitled to live and voice the way we feel, as they're slowly injecting the poison that is about to corrupt this world and change it to the way we once knew it, and make everyone on edge as this new regime called the New World Order is going to govern the way they look at the world. The plans and foundations are already in place, just check around you, but its us, the people who have the right to live and express our concerns and do something about it. We must come together and form a United Front, otherwise the home we once knew is not going to be the same home we're going to remember,as everyone is is going to be in survival mode, doing what they have to do to survive, while the bigger heads upstairs are going to be  there laughing doing what they want, imposing their will, taking away our beliefs, standards, way of living, losing  our morals, essence and political views on life... Check out these video links and get a better prospective on whats going on.... Remember stand up for your rights, because your entitled to it.... Start the Global Revolution Now....
