There are always going to be overated celebrities.
And there will be some who do not get their share.
Who got more press? Was it Mr. West or Taylor Swift after that stupid incident on that awards show that really has no meaning? Mr. West showed up on Jay Leno's new show after behaving like an ass. I would have canceled his appearance. But celebrity does not work that way. Before television the awards given out to performers were a quite afair with just the press in attendence to write an article on the winners of the event. Now, with TV cameras covering the events, they have become a three ring circus. They have to take a break in the awards giving and put on a show for the audience. Mr. West put on a show and is now getting more headlines then ever before. Celebrity is just the media chasing after their next story. The test of time proves if someone really had talent. I have a collection of videos that date back before sound. You really had to act then to make your ideas and feeling come across. To those who appreciate talent it is not color or flash, but giving an honest performance. And that is a personal thing for you. Take the tabloids and throw them in the trash and stick with the true test and that is owning the works you feel worthy of. Buy the videos of the films and actors you enjoy. That is all that counts. Support them that way. Let the others fall to the wayside.
You and MsA should get a mutual acount, on this forum, and make it a practice to place your initials at the top of your post so everyone knows who is speaking. I'll admit it is fun trying to guess who is posting. Makes it a contest to guess who it is.

I agree on that. She's not especially funny. Not even amusing, really.

So um...help the clueless out?
thanks Neko.

Normally I run 3 miles a day... it's really good for you so long as you have quality shoes. I will say I'm glad I've done the marathon twice, but I don't recommend it more than that:) To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.

What about like a stationary bike or something? Wouldn't that be better on joints and such? I always figure if I go on an exercise kick I'd get a stationary bike over a treadmill.

people tend to hunch on bikes so it's not good for your back, but any exercise is good... really if you're going to invest in a piece of equipment I'd suggest and elliptical trainer they are the most effective and lowest impact.
Ok if it hurts you're doing it wrong Avery sweety... make sure you stretch first and check your stride and really you have to have really good shoes. try brisk walking instead of running 'cause that's really really good for you... and you can check with the local marathon and see if they allow half marathon competitors To love someone is to see a miracle invisible to others.

If you get an exercise bike, make sure to get a recumbent bike. For about $200 you can get a good one. No hunching over or anything. I either read a book or watch tv while I'm riding, so it makes the whole exercise thing seem to go quicker.
I'm also training for my first marathon right now (it's in about 6 weeks), but I still ride the bike on the "rest" days in my training.
