Some thoughts from me

I thought I would weigh in on some issues of an entertainment nature. Some things that have gotten my morals wondering.

First, Adam Lambert: I really don't care about his sexual orientation and I didn't see the awards show where he performed his acts lately. But I do understand that it was a very suggestive, sexual nature. If it was a man and a woman, a woman and a woman, or a man with a man, this display, or anything that suggests anything that should be performed in a private setting only, should not be performed on free TV.

Next: Recently, I was flipping around the channels and a Miley Cirus video, "Party in the USA" caught my eye. Keep in mind that I am a grandfather of three, and my four year old granddaughter loves Hannah Montana. I also realize that Miley is only 16, which is ten years older than my oldest grandchild. I am shocked by the way she was dressed in this music video. I would like to kick Billy Ray Cirus in the butt for allowing his underage daughter to be dressed this way in the video. But this is just my opinion.

And now: Shame on you Grady Sizemore. The Cleveland Indians centerfielder had some seminude photos taken of himself, which he emailed to his girlfriend. Someone was able to obtain the photos and post them on the web. Shame on them too. Now Grady wants Major League Baseball to step in and investigate, and take appropriate action. Sizemore should have taken the appropriate action in the first place by not emailing the photos. Just another example as to why you have to be careful what you put on the internet.

One last thing: I am about to reintroduce word verification to my comments, as I've been getting spammed lately there. All but one has been by a gaming site. The other was by an escort service. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

I guess that I don't keep up with the entertainment news. And escort service...wow, I only get a lot of comments in Japanese on my site.

you know it is funny how fickle people can be. the deal with adam lambert, and i am not a fan, is so funny, wasn't it just a couple of years back that madonna kissed britney spears on stage and it didn't get the fanfare that this is getting. also i understand good morning america canceling the next days show, wasn't it ed sullivan who censored elvis's pelvic thrust as being too risque for national television. of elvis i am a huge fan. i just wonder why they sometimes think it is wrong and others not. no i know exactly why, because the executives do not want to watch two men kissing on TV they would rather watch two women do it. my opinion is the same as yours, that should not be a part of the show period. men or women, it is too much of what our children are watching that they pick up on. the nasty dancing in music videos yuk!! and you are right about miley, she is supposed to be a role model and she knows this, but she is 16 and teenagers want to be more grown up. so her father needs to remind her that she is still a child. for at least 2 more years. look you got me ranting!! hope you had a wonderful holiday, i have been to busy to post, i am trying to catch up on comments today.

no idea who adam lambert is...barely know is miley cyrus is (my grandkiddies are far tooo young for her - thank goodness) and as for sizemore - we reap what we sew....mlb should tell him that too....

Well I don't know about the Lambert thing , but I think Miley does dress way to inapproapiately for the younger kids. I'm trying to censor sis as much as I can.
Anyway it feels good to be back blogging.

I thought it was interesting that poll asking who was the best & worst teen examples...Miley topped the "worst" list. Young tween girls were the ones that they asked the question to, so apparently they aren't too impressed with her actions either. Although they did vote her #1 in the entertainment category. By the way, Taylor Swift got the "best example" nod.
As for Adam, I liked him on AI, but I didn't much care for it either...Neither did my teen daughter.
Have a good day!!

I think Taylor Swift must have some good level headed people advising her. I also hear that someone once say that of all people, Taylor Swift is least aware that she's Taylor Swift.

We need more examples like her and more folks like those positively influencing her.

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...

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?

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...
