Valentine's Day

Today is the kind of day that it hits me that it is almost the end of January and thus I must think about love, my relationship standing and the date of February 14th. This year I I'm so indifferent. I am all about having fun and friendship with the ones I love but Valentine's Day seems to be even more over hyped than Christmas, a hard feat! I just believe in being thoughtful and surprise. I don't think forcing ourselves to look into our relationships and make a day into a bigger deal than it has to be consume us. For most its just a day that signifies either absolutely nothing or where they stand in their life. Though for me it just means that i see a lot of people be disappointed in loves or even worse feel upset at themselves for lack of a lusty love life. Maybe i am a romantic but i just think that love has an element of surprise. You should have plans because you get inspired to do so not because a date on the calendar tells you to. It is like stating the only day you can be romantic is February 14th? I would hope that relationships everywhere would be stronger and full of more romance! That people would do little things always and through out the year, because one day is just not enough.

All I can say is that after all the has happened in Haiti, it really puts things in perspective. It seems to be that the more we have and the more comforts and luxuries we take for granted the more we complain and whine. It seems that the ones who have so little are so grateful. It scares me to think that the more money and power one obtains the less they are willing to appreciate life, compassion and gratitude. While there are many people of power such as Bill Gates who do give and do find the importance to be grateful and give back to those who do not have as much, there are just too many times that you see whiny teenagers on MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen where they think their life is over if they did not get that $300,000 car. We love seeing these types of people and giving them undeserved attention and glory instead of focusing on those who give hope or at the very least do not complain about what material possessions they have and it is only during times of crisis that we pay any attention to them. It just really reminds me and all of us where we really hold valuable in our day to day lives.

Conan!!

Today Conan O'brien posted a statement stating that if NBC decides to move the Tonight Show to 12:05 he will leave. This is after much discussion about moving Jay Leno's show to 11:35 due to bad ratings in the past six months of being on air. I personally can't blame him. I am a big Conan fan. Many of nights staying up since my early years watching him he brings a sense of comfort. He was the link to spending time with my sister and late nights writing papers for school. When he decided to leave New York and Late Night for the coveted spot on the Tonight Show I was proud and excited for my favorite ginger man! Now that NBC wants to change things on him after six month of being on air it seems not only unfair but down right dishonest. The Tonight Show is at 11:35 not doubt about it. Changing it seems absurd and i stand with Conan. If he chooses to leave I will watch him where ever he goes. This man has more comedy than most comedians have in their fingers. Being part of so many famous entities before the Tonight Show all I can think is that he can succeed. As for NBC if they loose him I can only think that it will be one of their biggest mistakes they've ever made and may not ever really recover from the loss
