The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

    Let me start with the Bad.
    Let me begin with, the news.
    If I see or hear something, it stays with me. So I am very selective in my listening and viewing.
    The news has served me well over a lifetime of a strong desire to know everything! Until recently or perhaps always?
     I have had to wean myself from being consumed with tragedy, like the 911 catastrophe. School shootings, off my list. Mud slides and tornado destruction, no can do! Plane crashes, negative.
     My theory is that in grief, it took so much out of me to survive, the news was destroying me.
     Yet I thirst for knowledge, I want to know, I want to help, I want!
      Bill and I have spent years watching the news together in the wee hours of the morning. (unless a tennis match was on!)  So my not watching any news, is not an option. BUT..my paying attention is.
      So recently with this plane missing, in who knows where, has been an opportunity to explain to Bill my not caring dilemma.
      1. Bill Nye, the science guy is not who I wish to see, talking about this plane crash.
      2. One person begin his ideas with, "Do not quote me!, so I sure am not listening to him.
      3. The news, all channels, start jumping the story to be first with no facts, I need facts!!
      4. Words like, maybe or could be, possibly freak me out. Do not get me in a tizzy over, strong indication.
My Bill, the scientist, says, they are just guessing???? That is fine, just don't come on the air, with guessing.
This horrible plane mess, these poor people not knowing anything, and they come on saying that they saw something orange, maybe. STOP IT.
       I can not watch this news.
       AND..it is not even Fox new! They all should be fired on the spot.
       Wish I had answers, I don't.
        I believe nothing, and I dislike that feeling.
       The news is important, we depend on it. I want to be in the loop, I just wish the loop were accurate. I think the news has become a bunch of pot stirrers, and I am not eating the soup!!!
        Now the Ugly, Atlantic traffic, the end!! ( I linger little on bad things, negative yuck!)
        The Good, that is the easy.
         Jimmy Fallon!
         He makes me laugh out loud and grin for his entire show.
         ( Hart, number four son, if you find out anything about him that is bad, do not tell me!)
         Jimmy ( I like that he does not want us to call him Jim!) is fresh, and current and just enough political incorrectness( is that a word?) to be delicious. He loves music, like I love music, with his entire body! He is not afraid to look silly. I think he is Good, he exudes goodness, and that is a FACT! ( maybe an opinion? but its my fact!)
         So here lies the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, for this day, in my life.
         My daddy will be proud, to see that I acknowledge a Clint Eastwood film in my blog!
         Until later, always end with The Good!
