Hmmmm...just thinking!

I open a mag and read 'how to look good naked'....and think easy...just let it hang out i think.

Then I watch foxtel 'Next top model'...who gives a shit.....are we really that shallow that now we sit on couch and watch other peoples 'REALITY' bull shit...as if your life isn't already hard work, full of hurdles to jump, possibly emotional and tiresome....then you want to watch it, someone elses?? Take me away I say.....give me something so far removed from REALITY almost trashy....something I don't need to compare myself to - for better or worse. EXAMPLE- Jersey Shore...I walk away and say 'losers' and feel better about myself, Biggest Loser...i think I've got my own fat ass to look at in the mirror and feel guilty if I've eaten too much pasta.....and I change the channel. I love to escape with topics that are not my REALITY or close to it....Mad Men- oh to have lived in the 50's, Gossip Girl- I know its some rich bitches reality but its not mine....the fashion and drama fabo, TruBlood- addicted and totally sucked in (pardon the pun)....... Can you even remember what life was like before the net, facebook, ipods, foxtel, TECHNOLOGY????

I do- there were people visiting un expetadly with no call- it was fine, exceptable and fun. Could you imagine if that happened now, after they leave you'd be like 'can you believe they just popped past and at dinner time, so rude', now its 'lets catch up....in July, got your diary?' . As kids we would climb trees, play chasy, have a slippery slide at the front and run through the sprinkler (no stage 3 back then), play 'husbands and wives' and kiss with our hands in the middle, there were dinner parties every weekend, eating noodles out of a box was like a dream when watching it on Melrose place, driving to La Porchetta in either Toorak or Carlton was considered a special treat (now they are everywhere and crap wateva!).....life was full but so much more social and FACE to FACE..... i am scared to think what our SOCIAL or lack of LIFE will be like in 10, 20- 30 years to come.

Too many options, too much pressure TO BE...... let it all hang out I say and JUST BE!

Just a thought!
