A Day Like Any Other

So today I am back to my hobbies, as I have no school or work right now. Although, I will need to go job hunting soon, yuck. I am back to my web design, although, the one I was working on turns out to be not wanted, so I will work on my own project. But I was thinking today about myself.

I realize that I am unusual, I am both artistic, and mathematical. But, I have never thought of myself as exceptional at either, seeing people who are good at only one exceed my talents easily. I find that it may be a curse, or a blessing, but I can handle almost any subject that is thrown at me. However, I think I have rediscovered my gifts, which are namely two, in my opinion. That of photography, and if you have ever looked at my flicker, I have owned that camera since March 19. Which, is a little less than 3 months. The other one being that of computer programming. It seems a strange combination, but both of them make me feel so amazing on the inside. And this brings me to my current thoughts.

Before I do get to them however, a random one popped into my head as I was writing this. I also throughly enjoy many things, anything really that involves thinking. That is why I started this blog, because I have thoughts that I feel might help other people understand life, or maybe just realize something new. I guess I would classify this as my minds way of making sense of the world, and who I am. Today has been more a post about who I am, than any profound (at least in my mind) thoughts. However, I will add something that might mean something to someone.

The real trick to life has nothing to do with fame, money, fun, success, or any other superficial thing. It is being who you are, no matter what happens. This seems easy, and I feel like I have talked about this before, however today I feel it linked to television.

How is it that we can expect kids to grow up to be themselves when they are being force fed to believe in what is cool and what is not. The Disney Channel and Nickelodeon are just two examples of this. However, the thing that shocked me above all else, something that I could not believe. It was a made for TV movie, on Teen Nick. And one of the scenes in the preview involved a teenager taking off her panties (yes a supposed teen) while in a limo. I watched this and realized that my little brother, of 13 no less, was watching these shows. What morals are we teaching children when at the age of 13 they are being exposed to such adult themes.

This made me think more as I started wondering, who is writing this stuff? What adults have so little regard for our future, that they feel people should be exposed to things like this at younger and younger ages. I don't want censorship, I want people to believe that children are not made or money, and now seemingly sex. I want people to feel responsible for each other.

Like I have said over and over, the problem isn't with regulations, but with a lack of love. If you loved the children watching the show, the actress meant to play the role, or the people who would be effected at all, would you still produce something like this? These shows are not the problem, they are merely a symptom of a global sickness. One of greed and selfishness. I will say it again, and probably more often, Love can solve so many problems. Just try it.
