I saw a replay of the MTV VMAs, after hearing that surprise guests Guns ‘N Roses performed at the end. It was interesting, but Axl’s voice sounded strained. I didn’t care for GNR when they first came out when I was in junior high. Seemlingly back then in the late 80s, everyone had a GNR shirt. Maybe I didn’t care for them because they were so popular. Maybe it was the type of people who listened to heavy metal….the so-called long haired freaks….troublemakers.
But now I enjoy listening to GNR. Maybe it’s the nostalgia.
MTV does have a tendency to overplay things. If you happen to miss this year’s VMA’s broadcast almost live, you can always rest assured that MTV will replay it twice a day everyday for the next 10 days. I am not sure if they are in any dire need of programming. They seem to have enough Real World seasons to broadcast marathons over and over again. BRING BACK THE VIDEOS!
My original video tapes of camp have been loaned out to a friend. This friend is making a professional video tape which will include clips of the video (and other people’s videos) and of the digital pictures I took. I’m anxious to see the video, but I’m also anxious to get my video tapes back. We’ll be seeing this video at the camp reunion barbeque in a couple of weeks.
I usually don’t lend irreplaceable original video tapes to anyone. But I thought I’d have to make an exception in this case.
The church picnic was tonight. I didn’t go for a variety of reasons. Mostly it was because I don’t like feeling awkward in large crowds. Not having much to say to people who I don’t know.
Having layoffs at Nortel is kinda like being up for nomination for eviction on your favorite reality based tv show. You’re never sure if you will be going, but you know there is a chance you might be. I could moan and grown about it…and give myself a ulcer, but it is not worth it. God has blessed me so much I’m not sure it is my place to complain that my job is not permanent. I hope I’ll be staying, but if it is my time to go, then I should accept it and move on. We’ll see within the next 60 days.
