Reality TV

Reality TV. When will the madness stop. I was flipping thru the channels and its all over the place. I gave it some thought. Whose reality is? Its not mine. I'm not dancing with the stars. I'm not Americas next top model. I'm not a survivor in China although I survived living in Brooklyn. I think with all these so called reality shows we as a nation are losing touch with reality. We got kids shooting kids. Babies having babies. Adults drugged out. Women sleeping with 20 different men and don't know who the father is. This is crazy! Art imitates life. Now we got Youtube and all the craziness that goes on there on a daily basis. We are far gone people. What is reality? At times I think we all took the green pill and we are all stuck in the matrix. We need better shows on. Shows that attack today's real life issues and ways to solve some of these problems. I mean whats the point of me looking at someones crib while I'm living in a 2 bedroom. I will get my crib with hard work not fast money. I know I sound like a hater but I'm not. Its the people like us that watch these shows and get lulled into a false sense of reality. The show I want to see is Donald Trump in the hood being a single father to 2 kids making 800 dollars a month. To me that would be a good dose of reality........................

We Are Family

Family. Through a series of unfortunate events my family was reunited last week. We came from all over. North, south, east, and west. When we were all there I realized that your family is "your" family. We all argue and fight, but each of us bring something different to the table. I guess that's what makes up individuals. Its been close to a year since we have all been together. Seeing them all there I realized that at times you can take your family for granted. But its also good to know that when the chips are down you can count on them. Throughout the years I have seen countless families broken up over money, relationships and other petty issues. As a family we had our share of issues but in our own way we were able to squash the beef. I just wish other families are able to put away there differences and come together for the greater good. So with the holidays coming up, my plea to you is if your out of touch with your family call them. If you have beef make amends. Pick up the phone and make the call. Put aside your pride and ego and make it work. I know this is different from what I usually write. But if I can inspire you to do it and it works then I did my job. To my family it was great to see you and lets keep it going for the greater good.
