And my prayer is that your story will have involved some leaving and some coming home, some summer and some winter, some roses blooming out like children in a play. My hope is your story will be about changing, about getting something beautiful born inside of you, about learning to love a woman or a man, about learning to love a child, about moving yourself around water, around mountains, around dear friends, about learning to love others more than we love ourselves, about learning oneness as a way of understanding God. We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and the resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn’t it?
It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out. I want to repeat one word for you: Leave.
Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn’t it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don’t worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed.
Tumblin’ about Twitter. Maggie Furlong has broken down the big social media changes that the various networks have implemented.
Good article. I personally follow CBS on Twitter and being such a fan on The Big Bang Theory, I follow them as well. Yet I don’t find that account helpful. I believe the greater fan interaction happens with Bill Prady, TBBT creator. He answers Q&As, he ask for real input, take pictures of behind the scenes. I guess for the audience we enjoy the show and the story they tell. We enjoy the characters but we also enjoy the characters behind the characters, the behind the scenes, why do you think gag reels are so much fun? Twitter or actually any social media is a real good way to get that insight and a way for the audience members to not just connect with the characters but the actors. It’s not just actors that people follow, it’s the writers and producers, they tweet about what’s coming next, why they choose to do this or that. I personally just find a greater appreciation for everyone on and behind the camera. I may come off as a stalkerish fan, but think about it this type of technology wasn’t around for the majority of the life span of television, and now that it is, it’s just another great medium to communicate. That’s what it is just a shift, a trend, a new outlet, for the audience and the fans to connect.
It’s those TV networks, Marge, they won’t let me. One quality show after another, each one fresher and more brilliant than the last! If they only stumbled once! Just gave us thirty minutes to ourselves! But they won’t, they won’t let me live!
GYOP! Not gonna lie, been absorbing myself into television, and no not just television shows, but articles, blogs, books as well. Oh especially the networks fall schedules. I approve of CBS decision to move 2 & Half Men right behind TBBT I’m sad that Community got moved to Fridays and it’s only guaranteed 13 episodes next fall. Oh and Rules of Engagement not sure but pretty sure just got renewed! Phew! Oh & 30 Rock will be on it’s last season :(! Oh and the forums are a buzz about Emmy noms! & I’m just getting into Louie! Ahhh need to shut up.
It is important to stay busy, idle hands are the devil’s play things. It is in times of leisure that misery grasps tightest and so man should be made to work, and work to the point of exhaustion. To lead a fulfilled life one has to be pre-occupied even when his peers are resting, the mind grows stagnant only when we allow it to. Leisure leads to reflection, and reflection begets false thinking, which makes may for regret. Stay busy, stay happy.
At this point, CBS is literally just toying with the other networks, like a bored cat, waiting to decide if it will eat ABC or NBC first to fatten up in order for its fight to the death with Fox.
CBS is the only network around that can be accurately described as a badass. If you want to know just how they’re planning on destroying the competition this fall, read this.
I’m somewhat ashamed to admit I do have a fandom blog. I’m just posting this here because I’m pretty proud of the simple coding and changes I did to the layout. You can check it out if you want to {LINK HERE}
