We've come to the conclusion that it is not our favorite part of her follies. Luckily, I've never heard of this 'Friday' person. I hope you find time to visit the blatant crap that I post on my blog from time to time (as I am back!) I know it's mostly cut and paste, but hell it takes me time to try out these recipes, read the books, find and read through the poetry, create children's pop-up literature! lol<br />Speaking of pop-ups, I miss pop-up video!<br />Bright blessings!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446070095733469795.post-28710423491536796072011-06-24T22:42:38.553-04:002011-06-24T22:42:38.553-04:00brain? oh. yeah. that. it's missing from main ...brain? oh. yeah. that. it's missing from main stream media. <br /><br />but not missing at irish gumbo.Everyday Goddesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00486528297252417282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446070095733469795.post-16105390611067698152011-06-24T20:42:49.751-04:002011-06-24T20:42:49.751-04:00I once sat with William Hung at a minor league bas...I once sat with William Hung at a minor league baseball game.

Perhaps it is not censorship if the world just goes back to filtering out the hacks. <br /><br />I often feel bad for those with real talent and skill working from the ground, up - you know, the old fashioned way. They work their whole lives, with true, honest and inspiring talent only to be rolled over because someone's mom filmed their kid & put it on youtube. <br /><br />Then they flock by the millions to watch the car wreck. Now we live in a world where the number of views demonstrates your value. And humanity's morbid curiousity allows the worse things to rise the fastest. And when everyone says 'that was 'great'' the mob decides that instead of being 'great' in how horrific it was, they confuse it for having quality. <br /><br />Boo, I say. Boo.<br /><br />That is why blogs have become my haven. People like you, with true talent, honest opinions, life experience & beauty in your writing, help me to keep track of what is 'great' and what is truly 'horrific'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446070095733469795.post-63833083290215784382011-06-24T08:05:10.813-04:002011-06-24T08:05:10.813-04:00I have been away from the news.

And you will unwittingly and without your defenses fully in place, be accosted with a Rebecca Black video.

We now can actually read a book and immediately discuss it with others on Twitter. And I think quality suffers when a mob mentality rules. I frequently find it difficult to comment on your posts, because what can I say? Nice poem? I'm sure if you wrote a real post on Rebecca Black, you would get twice as much traffic. This attitude reminds me of going to the movies in college. If I wanted to go see a French art film, I would go by myself, or with one close friend. But if a bunch of guys were going to hang out and watch a film on TV, we would intentionally pick a piece of action movie kung-fu junk so we can make fun of and bond together like guys. You see that happening now on Twitter, where everyone gets together to tweet jokes about the Bachelor and the Academy Awards. You never see anyone discussing the latest Nova on PBS. It just is not entertaining enough. But I find your blog a very special place exactly because you follow your heart and own interests.Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05191467009055093356noreply@blogger.com
