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...

Bananas and Sleep Apnea

First thing I want to do is welcome all the good folks from Australia who are checking me out as a result of Google searches. I recently wrote a post on sleep apnea , discussing my history with it and my new CPAP machine. Because of this and the name of my blog, this is the top site google lists when somebody types "bananas sleep apnea" into the search line on Google. All of the sites I have seen, that were not the usual sites that come here, ended in "dot au" which I know as Australia. Normally the only hit from down under is by my good friend David McMahon. The reason for the search is that a research team in Australia has found. as a result of a study, that drinking a banana smoothie may assist in easing conditions that cause sleep apnea. Phospholipids, or fatty acids, in bananas stay active in the mouth for six hours and may keep the throat open, therefore reducing the risk of choking. Further studies will expand to those, like myself, who need a breathing machi...

Why?

What I'm posting now is with the blessing of Chelle. Chelle is the cousin of Suzanne's husband, Richard. I had gotten the impression from both of them that they were about as close as sisters. Suzanne had been a friend of mine since I had discovered one of her blogs in July, 2006. We would make reference to each other on our blogs and would have dialogue via email quite a bit. It was no surprise to me that she was friends to many other bloggers as well. I felt it was quite an honor to be held in as high esteem as I was. We even talked to each other on the phone on occasion. I felt as we had known each other for a long time. I also knew that Suzanne was having some personal problems, much of which had to do with a very troubled marriage. I would let her bounce things off me, and I would send her some encouragement. While she was going through some of her marital problems, she made herself available to give me a lift when I needed it. My son was having some problems of his own a...
