Once again, Happy New Years everyone! This is my first blog post for the 2010 year. Enjoy it while it lasts because I'm gonna be serving a mission on behalf of the LDS church in February. That means two years of church-related work. That means I'm gonna squeeze as much blogging as I can (pending on whether I get some ideas or not). If you still don't get it, that means that there will be no more blog posts from late-February 2010, all the way through 2011, and probably not until around February 2012 when I SHOULD get back. We'll see how it goes...
Now then, on to today's blog:
So there was this lunch conversation amongst my family today. In a nutshell, it was pretty much about Hollywood celebrities, well-known people, human intelligence, and the comparison between the lives of them and us average-Joes.
So let's think about it. When you see well-known and famous people in the media, they tend to look smart doing the things they do and say right???
Well here's some truth to the whole concept:
They get like a week's worth of rehearsals in and like ten takes to get it right! In general, they're no smarter than us average-Joes. And it's not their own words or actions AT ALL. It is the work of a writer and/or stunt people.
So where does this leave for us average-Joes???
Well, isn't it quite obvious? We have no writers, no stuntmen, and no rehearsal time and the ten takes to get it right!
Take Donald Trump's daughter for example. I bet she wouldn't be where she is right now if it weren't for her father. If I had a writer and stuntman, I'd be all set in my life. But that's not how we were intended to live our lives...
How about the President of the United States? The speeches are definitely written by someone else.
Remember that episode of 'The Simpson' (entitled Homerazzi)? In the climax, Homer Simpson got the last laugh against the celebrities. But instead of making money off of the photos he took, he made a deal with them providing that the celebrities start treating the public with more respect and not taking their fans for granted. In an element of truth, the celebrities we know of today wouldn't be who they are if it weren't for people like us. Whether we like it or not, we directly or indirectly helped mold the faces of Hollywood and the famous. With the most recent scandals we see in Hollywood now, it makes me wonder whether the celebrities have ANY decency and morals...
Well, thanks for reading. And as always, your responses are always welcome in the comments section.
Oh! And this marks the first blog post for the 2010 year! Bring out the sparkling cider!
