Alternate Realities

I have had a bunch of different things flowing through my mind like a great river cutting its way through a canyon. After last night I experienced something that has forced me to write, and when I say forced, I mean thoughts that have consumed my mind. The fire within my brain has made its way to my fingertips as I write. The event last night is one that most people would think is small and obscure, for for me, it was huge. Do any of you look forward to moments that can take you away from the chaos of life, with all of its worries, confusion, stress, as well as the mundane? I do, and those moments come for me in hour increments on Wednesday and Thursday nights. There are other times but these times are set in stone. The times that I am talking about is when I turn on the television and get lost in fictionalized worlds of "LOST" and Grey's Anatomy". That's right, I get comfort from the idiocy I call life, from TV shows. This last week was the season finales of both "LOST" and "Grey's". Now although "LOST" has actually lost some of its luster, I still think that it is the greatest show on TV. It is followed closely by "Grey's Anatomy". The "LOST" finale was great, but I want to put in my two cents about "Grey's" unbelievable finale! That is why people watch TV. The episode was perfect in every way. It had everything that is needed for a good show. What is needed for great shows, is that the audience, sitting in front of their TVs "wasting" time staring at the screen, are totally engrossed by what is transpiring before them. So with that said, I believe that it is totally healthy to get a dose of TV, movies, music, and books in every week. This way you can lose yourself in something other than the reality. Let's face it, during this time of economic catastrophe, and just plain s#!* going on in our lives, a little alternate reality is good for the soul, or whatever. I must add a caution in here though, that spending too much time in your own alternate reality, can be damaging and lead to being worthless like Perez Hilton who's only job in life is to talk about famous people that are famous for nothing and demeaning the good in the world for ratings and money. Okay with that said, I have said my peace and its no longer grindin my gears.
