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.

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.

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...

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...
