Okay, so I read the news…I don’t watch the news anymore on TV because honestly, I just don’t want to. I have no desire to be political. Pretty much if its something radically important I get told the story by Travis, who keeps up with the news pretty regularly or I read it on my yahoo page. Other than that I have no desire to watch “Good Morning America”, “The Today Show”, or any other news related programming. I would love to see true journalism come back in style but the days of “The Daily Bugle” (yes Spiderman comic reference) are apparently no more. I remember one of the rides at Universal Studios was the Spiderman ride and as you walk through the line you walk through various elements of a newsroom; the news desk, the filing room, the dark room, etc. Its really neat and it would be very cool if that was how today’s news was run, but sadly that won’t happen. Editorial writers such as John Grogan of “Marley and Me” fame who write stories just for the fun of reading them in the paper are even becoming few and far between. Especially unbiased editorials that have nothing to do with politics. Once upon a time I had aspirations to be a journalist and a writer, hence the English degree, but honestly I have no reason desire to be political therefore I have no desire to be a journalist. I’m happy to be a Mom, but yes there are days I contemplate careers again. I think more than anything I miss being a teacher, but as Mum I do that every day. No complaints here. I love my girls and Travis too…
On another note, Congrats to my cousin Candace and Brad on the welcome addition of Mary Bradley, born yesterday on Arwen’s 9 month birthday and Mary Bradley has far more hair than Arwen already! Oh, well, one day Arwen will have long hair and head full of it I’m sure! Mary Bradley weighed in at 7lbs 2oz. Mary Bradley say “Hello Life” and with arms wide open I say Welcome to the world little girl!
