So on Monday mornings, I get my self situated, and in between customers and talking to my Mom, I skim the internet to see if I missed anything important. I usually don't, Mom is pretty good about keeping me in the loop if something horrible is happening.
So I came across the name Stacy Keibler. The first thing I thought of (couldn't help it) was wondering if they starting giving those elves names, and then realizing that she has probably heard that more times than I have had my name miss-spelled. It would seem that she used to date someone famous.
whoopity-do.
Are we that starved for entertainment news that we now care what the ex-girlfriend of a celebrity is doing? I can't believe that we are, but then when you tool down to the comments section- a guilty pleasure, sue me- there are all of those people and their opinions. Wow.
Much like those who buy tabloids and take them for truth- there are some people who seem to have a vested interest in celebrities' lives.
Aren't there enough problems in the world right now? Or is it escapism? Perhaps people get so would up in the lives of the famous as an escape hatch, who knows?
Lent is going on as I write this, and Father Dave spoke a wonderful sermon about the things to give up during Lent. He suggested removing something from your life that would make you a better person. What a wonderful idea.
I am going to start with "celebrity" gossip. Even D-listers like the aforementioned Mrs. Keibler. I already swore off any breathless updates on Brad Pitt and his baby buying adventures. I don't care what store they close down to shop in private, I don't want to know about it anymore.
Think about what you put in your brain, and try to ween yourself from the junk. You'll thank me later.
