So apparantly the town where Tom and Katie were married, they are all pissed off because they jubilantly bent over backwards welcoming the circus into town and the elusive Tomkat not once made an appearance. They didn't stand atop the castle and wave to the throngs of people who were dying to get a peak at not only them but the celebrity guests as well.
So what is it about celebrities anyway? I should talk, I am just as gah-gah over them as the next person. I think even if people don't admit it, everyone pretty much has a “celebrity” they get kind of nutty over. Am I correct in thinking this? Look at my recent blogs about Barbra. I can officially state that I am crazy about her. Crazy... yes, why do we do this? Do we do this to escape ourselves? We watch TV, people watch TV to escape... is this correct too? To dig deeper, in general, entertainment is what we escape with. This goes back for centuries. I think we just have so much more of it today. I mean back in the middle ages, imagine a harried inhabitant who asks someone to sing a song to them or play an instrument. This takes their mind off of what was every harrying them. :-)
I guess Jesus was one of the first celebrities... he was one of the first idols. But didn't GOD tell us to not have any other gods before him? Well, I guess Jesus was AFTER him.
Ick... I am talking religion in my blog. I will stop now.
What does it do for me?
When I get all obsessive over someone like Streisand, I guess it does in fact take me away from myself. And as I typed that last sentence I kind of felt a bit silly and sad.
I guess the thing to do is to not lose yourself, but JOIN them.
Be inspired by them.
And whenever you are aware of how much positive loving energy you are focusing on them, turn it around and focus it on yourself.
Didn't know you HAD so much of that energy did you?
