So I just skimmed the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly.  It talks about Daniel Radcliff, that kid who plays Harry Potter, being nude in some play.  It's a quite a story.  I just have to wonder a few things.  Didn't he do this last year?  I don't know, but I guess there has been a lot of negative feedback about it.  They think it's wrong that this childrens icon would appear nude.  I don't really think people should judge him for it. 

 Sure he's Harry Potter and all, but I think those kids in the movie worry about that being all they will be remembered for.  He's just trying to prove his adulthood. He's not that twelve year old with glasses. Most people typically don't use that as their solution, but he has been growing up in the public eye for the last eight years.  I'm sure it was fun to go through puberty for all the world to see. 

Most teens, older teens,  and young adults do stuff like that just for the shock value.  Young people are very naive about stuff like that.  They say they smoke, get piercings, sleep around, dress a certain way, and pose nude because that's what they want to do.  No!  They do it because they want to be shocking and because they are morons! I think his motives are different though. 

Plus he probably appreciates art. Physically he really has grown up.  There were still shots in the magazine.  That guy is ripped.  I'm sure he has mentally matured to especially with a high pressure job like that.  That girl who plays Hermoine thought about resigning her role because she thought that would be all she would be remembered for, and that kid who plays Ron was in some other movie.  Sadly that probably will be allthey are remembered for in the public eye.  That Hermoine girl should just finish out her role.  They are making so much money of off it.  If they  save some of their millions they'll be multi-millionaires by the time they retire.  Honestly they could work fast food the rest of their lives and still be rich when they retire. 

So what if that's all they're remembered for?  Someone did an exercise with me a few years ago.  The lady asked me a whole bunch of questions as to whether I knew about these people making these huge accomplishments.  The next set of questions was about people I love and people who influenced me.  My loved ones were the only ones I could name.  No one else in the group knew the names of those big shots either.  Really when you die it's  going to be the people you love and the lives you've touched that remember you and appreciate you the most.  Sure people have influenced the world and names are remembered, but it's really most important to look at the lives you personally touch.  They will honor you the most.  Not to say that you should not try to do things for society because everyone should do their best to give something to the world, but  that's how I would look at it in their situation.

Hey Fox Corporation what the heck?  There have not been any new Family Guy episodes lately.  Fox is the only channel I really watch even with my digital cable.  The Simpsons, Family Guy, and that pretty much covers it.  I realize there has been a writer strike, but it has been over for a while, and all the other shows are coming out with new episodes.  Every  week I hope for a new episode and it is always a re-run.  I watch family guy all  the time, but I'm getting sick of the old episodes.  I want some new ones.  I do not watch much t.v , so I need something to watch when I do.   I hope they are not going to cancel it again.  I would be so sad!  Oh tear!  Lol.  Am I right or what guys?  Family Guy is the best show!

So I was just watching the live season finale of "The Apprentice", and I was just wondering what other people thought of Donald Trumps decision to elect Piers as the Celebrity Apprentice?  Boy!  What a tough decision that would be!  Piers managed to raise a hell of a lot more money, but Trace Adkins was so much more ethical.  They really forgot to mention ethics in the boardroom.  That's why the decision is tough.  No one likes Piers, but he still raised the most money.  I guess it all boils down to the last dollar!  The money was for charity though, so it does seem less corrupt, and what is with Donald Trump only awarding the Celebrity Apprentice $250,000.00?  He is a billionaire!  God knows I am not a rich man, but that would be like two dollars out of my pocket!  That amount of money does not mean anything to him!  I was hoping it would be like a million!  Great show though!  I enjoyed it!  It was a good finale!  I was so happy I did not have to work so I could watch it!  What are your opinions?

So how about this show "The Moment of Truth"?  I thought I'd blog about it in my spare time.  It's a great show and I enjoyed it, but the only thing about it is I don't see much competition.  All you have to do is tell the truth.  I realize that the questions are kind of hard to admit to, but the thing is even if you lie the lie detector will find out, and your family will find out on the show.  If you set the money aside it is sort of a lose-lose situation.  There really is no reason to lie on that show.  Just tell the truth and they'll give you money!  and I think that your family would rather that your being honest with them even if it is for money.  There's no competition!  You don't have to an IQ or luck or anything!  Although some of the questions I would be unsure of because I don't know myself entirely, but most of them you don't have to know yourself that well.  There's really not much competition.  Sheesh!  Put me on that show!  I'll admit to anything for $500,000.00!  I can use some extra dough!  Now that's a gameshow I am smart enough to go on!  Lol.

You know me and my cousin were having an interesting conversation.  Ever since I was a kid I've always been allowed to watch pretty much whatever I want except for porn of course Lol.  Anyway I feel I turned out fine, and I probably won't be too much of a stickler with what my children choose for media as long as their doing what I want them to do, but for all you parents who are extra cautious about what your children watch on television we were wondering if you would rather that your kids see violence or sex in a movie.  I said violence because I watched a lot of violent movies and I'm not violent at all.  In fact I have never been in a physical fight, but if you had to choose which one would it be?  I'd love to hear your reasoning behind it.
