Just a few thoughts...on television

So last night I decided to watch tv (something I try not to do too often). Anyways, I saw this amazing two hour interview with Aron Ralston, the guy who cut off his hand/arm. I heard about him before, thought about seeing the new film '127 hours', but never really new the extent of all the details. I was so intrigued by his story, from the bit about the Raven, to the spiritualness of it all, to him now having the son he dreamed about. I surprisingly was not grossed out when he talked about how he cut his arm off. But yeah, just a truely remarkable experience! After the two hour show/ interview, I kept saying to myself, in my head, "gosh, that's such an incredible story!" I might just read his book 'In between a rock and a hard place' after all...
But hearing about those kinds of stories do sometimes frighten us a little, maybe because we are all so disconnected to nature and it can seem scary sometimes. But I also love those kinds of stories because of the connections they have with nature, it's so raw and it really brings out a persons true colors. I also just love our deep connection we have to the earth, and we are lucky to live in such a beautiful country, a beautiful world!

Another thought I had recently, relating to television, is that it's unfathomable (I just wanted to use that word) to understand why t.v. actors/ actresses get paid 300,000 dollars an episode, or a million dollars an episode! The same goes for athletes and movie stars. We have wars and genocide going on in the world, and poverty and corrupt governments and overpaid movie stars! I swear when I'm rich and famous...jk
Well, I personally don't know what I could do to help change some of the worlds greatest problems, it all seems so tireing when I think about it. But that's part of our world, and at least there are people like me who are blogging about it and trying to think positively, right? ;)
Well, that's all for now, I just wanted to share a few thoughts...
But really, if I ever become rich and famous I will try to change the whole over paid hollywood stuff.
