Being true to yourself & letting your real story out

My imagination runs wild all the time. I'm always thinking of new characters, new stories, possible plot twists, new painting ideas.... There's always something brewing. But sometimes, I snuff out one of my own ideas before it ever comes into the real world. Why? Maybe some ideas are too far fetched. Maybe not, maybe I'm pre-criticizing myself. Yes, I said pre-criticizing.


Maybe we should just let them all out. Every thought, every story, and every idea in our brain. Just let them out to run and play. For example, The Spiderman character began in the human mind right?


Okay, imagine that conversation: "Yeah, so I have this new character, and he's a man, but he also has spider qualities. He was bit by this spider, but anyway, he can jump around on buildings like a spider and he ejects webs from his hands so he can swing around between tall buildings. He wears a tight red clingy leotard. Oh, and he helps battle crime, and catches bad guys. Mostly bad guys with super powers. And his arch nemesis is the Green Goblin. Green Goblin is a total menace to society, and he rides around on this really cool hover board thing."


Know what? It worked!

No more PRE-critizing!

Jersey Shore ratings

Why is Jersey Shore so popular? Hmm.... Even Barbara Walters can't help but express curiosity!

Reality stars give the rumor mill so much to talk about, and some are in the spotlight for several years. The most common question is "why?", and there are quite a few that we don't even know why they've become so famous.

I've heard it all, Paris Hilton has been referred to as a "fake celebrity", because after all, what is she famous for anyway? The Kardashians? Nicole Richie? Could it be amazing talent? Maybe a long and victorious battle of courage and skill that lead them to the top? Or, are they merely lucky to be connected to someone else that has been in the spotlight?

The cast of Jersey Shore is different. They aren't connected to anyone famous. As of yet, none of them has a sex tape, a famous parent, or billionaire genes. They are famous for their personalities! Yes! Just because of who they ARE. This amazes me. I think it's pretty friggin' awesome. Actors spend years and years trying to get noticed. Work their asses off for months at a time on the movie sets away from their families. And maybe in a year or two they get noticed.

I love this day and age where a group of kids from Jersey can make a name for themselves with their personalities and "interesting factor".
