American Idol?

Okay, I have never really watched American Idol or been really interested in it unlike those who have to be home to watch it all go down. I mean, I know that Kelly Clarkson was the first American Idol; I know Ruben Studdard was another American Idol; I know that Clay Aiken was on American Idol. I've also heard about Fantasia (but I did not watch that time around) and I didn't watch it the other times - not devotedly at least, voting and all. I used to think to myself, "Big deal." Besides, I'm not much of a TV watcher to begin with. The only time I voted was when my friend said she wanted to vote but was too slow in picking up the phone; so I dialed for her. I used to think that Simon was a terrible person, Paula was .... well, Paula.... and Randy had some interesting comments. Ryan Seacrest? Well, all of a sudden his name is big in L.A. and somehow he was no longer doing the afternoon show on Star 98.7 fm but instead had moved to the morning show on KIIS FM inste

The Movie "Gandhi"

Today I watched the movie "Gandhi". Ben Kingsley was fantastic! But additionally, I was amazed by Gandhi. I am amazed that one man can possess so much faith in truth and love. But then I remember that it is not how much faith we ourselves have but in whom we have that faith. It makes me wonder where the source of my faith is: is it in the quantity of faith I have or the quality of faith? Do I rely on how much faith I have or in whom I have faith? And I wonder if I will really stand resolute in the face of oppression like he did. Another thing: it is sad to see how politics and the greed of men in power can divide and affect people at large. Countries are torn, people are separated, and times grow dark. Surprisingly, it is just one incident, just one tiny incident, that can inflame such massive atrocities. And it happens now: with one cartoon from a Danish paper, massive atrocities have been ignited in the Middle East. And who suffers? People.

Welcome to my point of view

Not that anyone really is interested in my point of view, but there are so many things I learn - working, traveling, and interacting with people. Additionally, I watch things, read things, and hear things, so the wheels of my mind turn and I start to analyze things, think about things, and realize certain things. Thus, this site contains basically things that my mind has churned over and produced. Good? Bad? Crazy? Idealistic? Out of this world? Interesting? I'm sure it will be all of the above and more. Bear with me please as I edit and re-do, fix, and make mistakes. Thanks!
