a couple of weeks ago, in case you never pay attention to anything really significant going on in the world, brad pitt and jennifer aniston broke up. i wondered how such seemlingly perfect people could not want to be together anymore. <\/p>\n
this morning, as i was giving chair massages at the hospital, katie couric was talking to some celebrity-interviewer woman, or maybe she was a celebrity pyschologist, i don\u2019t know, about the breakup. this was poor timing, as the last thing i wanted to hear about was brad and jen\u2019s failed marriage.<\/p>\n
they concluded that people want to hear about bad things like this happening for twofold reasons – first, it makes them feel better about themselves. if brad and jen, two of the most perfect-looking people in the world in my opinion, who have more money than they could ever spend, have fabulous homes, fun careers and a seemingly ideal life can\u2019t make things work out, well then, my life must not be so bad, right? so money, beauty, fame, all of that really doesn\u2019t buy happiness? <\/p>\n
also, the woman said that everybody is kind of sadistic. think of people watching gladiators, or bull fights. or any of those dreadful reality tv shows. people like to see pain.<\/p>\n
like i said, none of this was good for me this morning. last night mom read my latest postings and announced that i was just blue because it\u2019s cold and grey crappy winter, and that everybody feels that way. she was wrong, but at least she did come up with an explanation.<\/p>\n
so, now what, now that things have sunk once again? Sleep, i\u2019ve written about the joy of sleeping before, and i hope to make that an important part of every day. also, i started reading a book a few days ago, and i know that in the past, i\u2019ve loved reading books. reading, another excellent way of escape without having to buy an expensive plane ticket. plus, when all you want to do is sleep, usually the one thing you can\u2019t do is sleep, which is a conundrum. but if you just want to read, all you have to do is get a book and start in. and finally, movies – i haven\u2019t been to a movie in i don\u2019t know how long. i\u2019ve decided i should go to all the movies now. except not really; i\u2019d never see a horror film, i usually don\u2019t like action films, and actually, i\u2019m in no mood for any dramas, either. so i\u2019ll go to all the comedies i can find, although unfortunately there aren\u2019t a lot to choose from here in spfld. Now, if i went to la, there would be PLENTY to choose from…<\/p>\n
but fleeing won\u2019t solve anything, because there\u2019s always having to come back. plus all the expense. <\/p>\n
so, my plan – sleep, reading, movies. plus i did actually do what i said i was going to do last time; i wrote down a bunch of stuff i\u2019d like to do with my life, and who knows, maybe i\u2019ll actually try to follow through on some of it. you never can tell.<\/p>\n
i was really looking forward to the weekend, but now it looms ahead of me, like some big black ugly frozen monster.<\/p>\n
ok then, <\/p>\n
