I should be up and finishing whipping the house into shape for the holidays, but instead, I'm camped out on the couch trying to stir up blog entries. And I just saw something in an advert on a website that blew my mind a little, so naturally, I *have* to procrastinate further so I can write.
The ad, for a reality show, promotes "drama you can't believe". Which leaves me wondering what the hell is up with the obsession with drama, anyway? I used to dive into the concept, to be honest, but one day it struck me that it's all so - - - asinine. There, that's the word. Why focus on people bitching, whining, and screaming? Why add fuel to the fire? How are we learning to behave (or not) by desensitizing ourselves to such frankly declasse antics?
I don't know. Maybe I'm just stressed and subsequently grumpy from house redux/wedding planning/holiday stuff, and perhaps I'm remaining right smack, dab in the middle of it by even writing this entry. But - do you know how good it feels to stretch the morning after the best sleep of your life? That's how it feels to roll my eyes at drama becoming a viable product.
