Not always about you, Mr. West

What I heard, then saw on a Yahoo video, what Kanye West did during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech during the MTV awards, it makes me wonder why some people think their star is so big that they say or do whatever they want?

I want now to direct you to my friend, Sue Wilson's blog. She posted last week how down to earth Taylor Swift really is. If anyone would know about being down to earth, it's Sue.

Maybe someone could send Kanye West that way. He could learn something.

I just read about what happened this morning. Truly disgusting. But then, Beyonce truly showed what a class act really is by allowing Taylor to come back up during her time.

OK now I'm torn between commenting as the media blogger that I am, and as a person/fan of Taylor's. So I'll do a little of both.

From the media blog perspective: The MTV VMA's have had some sort of controversy attached in recent years. Kanye provided that controversy with his stunt. Controversy usually = ratings.

From the personal standpoint: Taylor handled it about the best way anyone could. And I LOVED the fact that Beyonce gave Taylor her moment to shine. IMO Kanye was a real jerk and I don't really believe his apology that is being circulated. If he was TRULY sorry, he would apologize to Taylor in person, not post it on his blog.

Just this media blogger/Taylor Swift fan's opinion...

Sometimes it is easy to see who has class and tact and who will never acquire this trait.

I was not surprised- He's had problems with his words before.
I do wonder, however, why MTV ignored the fact that 1)there is a 7 minute delay that they could have used 2)surely there was security by the steps that could have stopped the interruption. Perhaps they allowed it to happen for the publicity that all the drama caused? Just sayin'..

Kudos to Beyonce- a classy lady.

I seen the VMA's and I was ticked when I seen him do that to Taylor. It was plain rude and self centered. Besides that he took away from the beautiful tribute to Micheal Jackson by his stunt. Kanye should be ashamed and learn that the world doesn't revolve around him. Kudo's to Beyonce for helping out Taylor.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?
