How does media affect your preception of reality.

The media is very influential.  To me, although I am able to keep my head clear and my wits about me in relation to what is real and what isn't, I can still get lost from a matter of minutes to a couple of hours.  It certainly depends on what I am tuning into. For example, I can get lost in a gardening magazine dreaming about all the great ideas for my garden this spring.  Although, I have no intetion of brick walkways, fountains or fish ponds with waterfalls, I get consumed with dreaming and the potential "what ifs."  When is comes to tv, I am less apt to get involved, however, during an episode of Friends its really hard not to imagine having a body like Jennifer Anniston and living in a great apartment with my best friends across the hall. Back to reality.....its Shrove Tuesday and I have yet to figure out what I am serving my family along with the traditional pancakes with money in them.  I guess I'd better round up some coins for supper.

Dairytown Classic

Squeeky sneakers on the hardwood, pounding basketballs, the smell of pizza and the vibrant hum of the familiar crowd over the announcer can only be our hometown Dairytown Classic.  Its that time again, the time to cram in the gym and cheer on our Sonics!
