I hope and
try to never get so caught in my own ideas I forget about what is good about their’
s I understand the notion of to many cooks in the kitchen it is why corporations cannot get anything
done because there are way too many opinions being expressed and everyone
thinks there opinion is the right one.
I started this section by saying that I hope that I never get so caught
up in my own ideas that I forget about theirs I will give an example: if a group of people wanted to listen to a
musican and band that I did not like I would say okay that is what the majority wants that is okay that is a
silly example but I think it illustrates my point. It is why I understand the classic rock
format I do not like it but radio is a business and they want to appeal to what
the majority wants to hear and most people only want to hear stuff they know
and do not go any further then that. Which again I have I trouble coming to grips because
I have such a fondness for so much of this music as I said a lot of this
alternative rock helped me find my voice to not be so angry depressed and alienated
I guess I kind of always felt alienated but so much of that alternative rock
helped me get through that and understand those emotions even though I had
those emotions that I did not understand I never allowed myself to think of
myself as a victim I have had moments of feeling sorry for myself I think that
is good to go to those places when you feel those emotions just do not get stuck
there which is easy to do but the thing to remember there is a difference
between depression and sadness depression is a state of mind and sadness is
just an emotion that everyone eventually goes through if you avoid those emotions
you will eventually hurt yourself so do not avoid those emotions when you feel them
but I never think of myself as a victim because I think that is the easy way
out. I said previously that I worry
about the next generation their relationship with not only music but the DJs
just like I felt I had when I was growing up that was extremely important to me
and extremely helpful for me because of the fun and joy that I gained from
watching those music videos and having those relationships with those VJS on MTV
and VH1 those VJs probably take that for granted it probably does not mean much
that much to them it was probably just a job to them which now looking back at
it I realized how important those relationships were to me. People might ask what about your families? I do not take those relationships for granted
but as many people know those
relationships can be extremely complicated mine is no different but that is not
bad and despite my circumstances I think how fortunate I am I think this cannot
be an accident this is something with my faith where I do not believe
God makes mistake and God does not put us in positions by accident and there may
not be a reason for it humans have a yearning to know why things happens I
guess it is only natural for people to want
to know why things happened and why they happen when they do but unfortunaly when you do that you unnational
make things worse because you make up stories about why things happen because
the reason is unknowable one of my biggest fears if I became a pastor if
someone asks me why this tragedy happened to them they may also wonder was it
something they did? My answer to the
second question is no and the answer to the 1st question is I do not
know. The thing with being a Christan
or even a pastor is people think you have this key to God where your prayers
get there faster than others that is certainly not the case when you become a
Christan you realize just how broken you are without Christ that is it. You realize how much you need him in your
life I think it is best to think of
everyone has a work in progress because even when you become a Christan the
desire to sin is still there which is human nature but I think trying to make
sense of why bad things happen in life will only cause additional pain because
it is unknowable. I really do not understand why people focus on things they hate it is not only a waste of
time because life is so precarious and fragile there is absolutely no reason to
focus on something you hate because we live in an outrage culture because of
social media but I think that is a minority of people I really do not believe
that the majority of people live to be outraged constantly the mainstream media definitely
strives on outrange Brain Stelzer may
not understand causing a divide but his show on CNN and his whole job is analyzing
his outrange. Stelzer cannot be as stupid as he claims to be not understanding
how his outrange is hurting the country because he is constantly claiming that
the mainstream media is not the enemy of the country but why does he keep insisting
that the media is not the enemy of the
people? Stelzer is very defensive when
anyone challenges his notion but why? Because
he knows that he and the mainstream media are actually the enemy of the people. I do not believe that the majority of people
are racist but I think because there is so little racism the mainstream media
has to make up racism. The majority of
people think about race like the color of their shoes in other words it does
not matter. Some may wonder why I
objectify women that I like in many of these sections first of all I never
intended to objectify anyone some of it is my sense of humor and some of it
I truly believe I do not trust anyone
who does not have a sense of humor or someone who takes themselves too
seriously I am not going to change my
standards because it may offended the woke mob no one is forced to read this and
I have to admit I am old compared to the woke mob and the people on social
media if that makes me out of touch I am okay with that this goes back to not
trying to make sense out of life’s tragedies and if you are a control freak of
any kind you will eventually self-destruct there is a lot of comfort if you
look for it knowing that human beings are not in control of everything. Henry Rollins said something similar to
this: they say life is short but life is nether short or long it just goes on whether
you are here or not and that he did not know anyone in the audience but he liked
them because they are full of potential that is not exactly what he said but I
respect it is very cool This talk is available: Dennis Miller’s HBO
show in 1992. Henry also talked about
inspiration how he wants to find some good jams because you have all thought about suicide because you all
realize how shallow life is but no suicide because we are to cool for that but
it is going to be harder to find inspiration because there will always be
people who want you to worship them because everyone is sincere. I wish we could go back to an era where
Carmen Electra was on The X Show on FX that was geared toward men which there
is no way that could be done today but my
question is what is wrong with a show that is geared towards men with hot women? They will argue that it is sexist what I am tired
of is the notion of there are things that we thought were okay were never okay
because those standards keep changing they do not mean anything and this is not progress women know
what they are getting into Carmen Electra wrote a book called How to be sexy I
do not think Carmen would be offended she knows the power she has over men I do
not find them to be a bad thing. I was
never really much of a basketball fan but when Michael Jordon and Dennis Rodman
played on the Chicago Bulls I followed it I still am a fan of Dennis Rodman I
just like his style and his uniqueness.
I wanted to do or pay tribute to
Kari Wuher Kari started on Remote
Control on MTV Colin Quinn started on Remote Control so did Adam Sandler I
really like Kari she was on The List on VH1 with Carmen Electra with Henry
Rollins has host. Kari Wuher is truly
gorgeous and sexy. I know that before
podcasting entertainers such as: Joe Rogan would release their material on CD
there is a part of me that wishes that would happen again. The main thing that
I have learned in doing a project such as this is not try to please other people
in what I would think they would want me to like and dislike that does not mean
I would not take others opinions into account as I said at the start of this
section I would hope that I would never get so caught up in my own ideas that I
would forget about theirs's I have never been good at meeting people giving off
a good first impression not because I think I am so great it is a usually uncomfortable
meeting people for the first time which is why I try to allow them to talk more
about what they want to talk about that is where those perceived slights come in
that I truly try to avoid because those are terrible. The term rebel or the act of rebelling is usually seen as negative thing
but I can say it does not have to be a bad thing as Tommy Dreamer always says I
have been a rebel my whole life being a rebel during the ECW Revolution so that is a good
rebellion or Eddie Trunk getting into radio so he could let others know about
music that he loved that others did not know about rebelling against something
for no reason is a problem but Eddie never claims to like a musican or band
only because it is the cool hip thing to do or not liking a musican or bands
because they are unpopular that I truly respect but again some might say you might
become more popular or well known if you comprise? I do not care in fact people can spot a
phony pretty quickly they do not last long.
I have mentioned that I am a fan of Justina Valentine she is on the MTV show Wild’N Out which is now
on VH1 but the way I discovered Justina was searching for old episodes of Singled
Out but then I discovered a revamped version of Singled Out with social media
included. Justina was the CO host of
this revamped version but I wonder how Justina would have done during the original
version with Chris Hardwick Jenny Mccarthy/ Carmen Electra the reason I was
thinking about it seemed as if people
were more care free back in the late 1990s and even into the early 2000s I think or I know we need to get back to that
because we will be better off for it but I know critics will say we just did not
know what we were doing back then what we thought was careless fun we did not
know the harm we were doing to women and this marginalized group but the question I think needs to asks were
people happier more laid back then? The
answer is yes but the woke crowd will say but at what was the cost in making
for example: that joke and I say there was no cost and go away so see how that
goes over? They will probably be dumb founded
because they are so used to everyone caving so just try that.
