A pop culture
Once upon a time when I was a little boy I had dreams and visions of life being something in which one would cherish every waking moment of. Mom and Dad, they were my world. Everything they did and said molded me into who I was to become. Christmas was a time when we gathered our whole family together to bask in the glow of the love that surrounded us. We would sit around and hear tales of how times once were. How things are different now than they were when my parents and grandparents were young but one thing remained the same. Grandma and Grandpa were in love; Mom and Dad were in love, although the price of eggs went up my picture perfect world seemed unscathed.
My parents got divorced that following year. My world as I knew it crashed and turned to ash. I was 8 years old then. Now I am almost 30 years old. I have had children, been married to a wonderful woman, climbed the latter of success and managed to sustain Asylum Entertainment pulling in an average of $1000.00 a week. You might say I had it all. Well so maybe I did. Now I am widowed, I am a single father, Asylum ET is harder and harder to sustain by the day and I am realizing things that I guess only come with age. I have noticed over the short span of my life that we not my family and I but we as the human race are losing something great. We as a society accept things that are the furthest from holy. We live in a country that heralds sayings like In God we trust and One Nation Under God but not a single one of us lives by what we say.
Think about this one thing that stands prominent in my mind, Love and marriage. At one time the definition of marriage was this “the state of being a married couple voluntarily joined for life” now you will notice that there has been an addition to that (or until divorce). Sorry, No. This is not correct. Marriage is only the first part of the definition despite what society accepts today. Society is perverse. I see on television today a role model for our youth. Heh so you thought. Britney Spears divorced again. This woman is supposed to be a role model as with anyone else in her shoes they have a great responsibility to the public eye. She states in a song why don’t they just let me live. Who the public? Well they would have had she not tramped around like a harlot after luring the youth in to thinking she was someone to follow. Ever heard the story of the pied piper? So she now makes comments like what’s with this marriage thing anyway in her ditsy blond way as if marriage is to be taken lightly.
Well what is with it is first off you do not get married unless you intend to do it for life. It is not intended to be a game or a publicity stunt nor should it be treated as such. This is more serious than you may think. You remember your parents and the love they had. Well forget it. Your kids won’t ever experience such a great thing because of things like this. It is all about selling more records or getting your face in the media now. No one could care whether or not it is harming us. Stop promoting this rubbish. If you had any mind at all you would not support it by not buying the albums, turning off the TV when this crap comes on, calling your local cable provider and demanding to stop showing these things. You have the power to make changes. Why do you not use it? To be passive is no different than saying I don’t care what happens to my child, they can fend for themselves. Heck why don’t you just go leave them in the woods by themselves? They would surely be better off out there than to grow up in a society that allows for such ridiculous behavior.
See I have raised my child by showing her the way and teaching her love and respect for herself. Do you think that will make a difference? Not likely! Why? Well because when she is old enough to have her wedding day and she is married how likely is it that the parents of her suitor will have raised there child with the same moral respect that I have mine. For my child’s sake I surely hope they have. My only point here is take caution in what you see and hear because it makes an everlasting impression on you. My message to public icons, respect your audience and be responsible with the message you bring. This extends to what you do every moment of your life. If you do not like it do not make yourself such a public spectacle and Britney, Put some damn clothes on.
I do wish her the best and I feel so bad for her children. They are such poor, poor children to have such a terrible mother. Just think Britney and I hope you read this. One day when your children are in school they will be picked on because the other children have downloaded a video of you disrespecting yourself and then they decided to broadcast it on the television at the assembly just before school begins for the day. For their sake I hope that this never happens but chances are pretty slim that it or something like it wont. Who knows maybe with your 30 million you can buy back every video and bad thing that has escaped about you on the net. Not!
