Pop Culture = No culture

Well doesn’t look like I will be going to New Orleans, only because the cost of the ticket since yesturday morning has went up another hundred dollars and with Summer leave I am not sure I should be spending the money.
Kinda makes me sad and me being in this “I need to do something for others” mood I think I will spend a good amount of my summer doing volunteer work. Looked on Idealist.org last night at a few opportunities in Massachusetts.
So if there is anyone in the area that knows of places I can give some of my time to this summer or know how to get 300 dollars into the “Crystal want to help out in the Gulf states” Fund…Please let me know
As for everyday life, things are good and I am happy overall.
Have been getting my resume out there a bit and looking at jobs where I know they also have an office in the Phoenix area that way in a year I could transfer and have a job lined up….
Was listening to Morning Edition this morning and they were talking bout “American Idol” since when does a group of educated….Socially conscious people care about “American Idol”. I am proud to say I Have never seen more then about 1 minute of American Idol and never plan on it.
Not much into the pop culture of this country and it’s total lack of actual culture.
But anywho they were talking about the fact that the same amount of votes where cast in last weeks American Idol as the presidential election in “2000″ .
Can I ask , how fucking sad is that. I am glad I voted in the 2000 election and never voted for a grey haired 29 year old wanna be R&B artist…. The only reason I know that much is because they mentioned it on Morning edition this morning..
Sometimes I feel out of the norm because I could truly care less about anything on TV.. I love Big Love and the Sopranos….But other then that I could live without it for the rest of my life.
I was sickened by Local news stations when TV was re-introduced to me. Are these programs made for the idiots that walk around every day, that have no idea what is going on in the world or do they really care about “man gets run over by shopping cart, and losses both legs”
Ahhhhhhhh
No more…No more of this
Back to listening to Tom Ashbrook…..
