Old fashioned.

So I don't watch a lot of tv, but since we have gotten directv here at the new place, I have been more apt apt to check out what's on. Since I am home during the day alone, I try to find something on there to at least listen to. Most of the time, it is music. we have a bunch of music stations on the tv that are no interruption, no commercial, nobody trying to get you to call in with pledges, plain old music. My favorite channel is Malt Shop Oldies. Yes, I know what you're thinking....a girl of 31 listening to oldies and liking it? Yes. I am truly a young person with such an old heart. I have a very old fashioned point of view. I truly believe I was born in the wrong decade. I would have been better suited to be a 1940's or 1950's housewife, cooking with my dress and heels on underneath my apron. Cookies baked when the kids came home from school. Black and white tv, or, gasp, just a radio.

I truly find myself wondering how anyone can watch some of these shows that are on tv these days. I see things advertised on commercials for these new shows and things, and I truly find some of them offensive. I cannot and will not being myself to watch the show modern family. I think it is the most offensive piece of junk on tv. But, if you look around, it is the modern family. It seems like in every show these days there is somebody cheating on someone and then someone else decides to shoot a person or kill them, you have gay people kissing on tv. When did this happen?!?!? Have I been asleep for the last 31 years? Whatever happened to decent shows where people had morals? Whatever happened to our country that had morals?

It's no wonder a lot of kids are stressed out and on some sort of medication these days. With divorce on the rise, kids with same sex parents, career oriented parents with careers on their mind and not their kids, single parents. It's no wonder there are so many kids that go to school doped up on antidepressants, anti anxiety meds, ADHD meds when they don't really have ADHD. Kids with behavioral problems that aren't special needs, they just need to act out to get attention because they dont' get any at home. Either that or they are shipped off to daycare for most of their day. It saddens me. It saddens me to see kids going to empty homes at a young age before they are even old enough to understand what to do in an emergency. So sad.

I know it's not my job to save the world. But if we just spent a little more time loving each other a little more, wouldn't that help? Love your neighbor, even if that means your enemy. I have had to do that many times and it is hard, but much better than the anger and hate that develops inside your heart if you don't love them. Okay, off my soapbox.

Later!
