The Naked Truth about a Prince, a Vampire and the Astronaut


The Naked Truth about a Prince, a Vampire and the Astronaut
 
            So here we are in the middle of social media and what do most of us do with it.  Well if I am seeing things right we’re acting like complete fools.  If someone has a breakdown on a plane we get our cell phones out and aim it at the person who already has it tough, but who cares we can sell it to the news like FOX or CNN, we can be rich by selling our souls. Where are the Walter Cronkite’s of today?
            The naked truth about Prince Harry and his photo’s is he wasn’t acting very royal except maybe a royal pain to his family. In my youth if someone did something stupid that involved the birthday suit we didn’t have cell phones for the quick pic of the moment and we didn’t have paparazzi following our every move.  I love Harry but honey zip it up and think twice before you have too many drinks and pick better friends. For the person distributing them I feel sorry for you that you feel you need to profit and destroy someone else’s reputation while you were butt naked taking pictures.  He wasn't being smart but remember you treat others as you want to be treated so don’t feel bad if someone plasters your family jewels for your children and future generations to see.  What a proud moment on the family tree.
            I want to know who was in the bushes stalking Kristen Stewart and that much married Snow White film director?  Was it a stupid act on their part? Yes, but she is single and he’s married with children and twenty years older than her so why are people calling her a trampire for entertainment. I’m not going to be up on my soap box on this but all I have to say is whoever took that picture obviously needed the money because if they really wanted to help they could have exposed this affair in private and not put the families through all this media frenzy.  I’d hate to see what is hiding in your closet.
            Last but not least my hero died just a few days ago Neil Armstrong.  When I was turning five and living in Conroe, Texas my mother called me in from play and made me watch the landing on the moon.  I was mesmerized watching the old black and white.  Times were much simpler then and I didn’t have a cell phone to text anyone but I had a family that sat down with me and we shared a historical moment together.
            Upon his death the internet and twitter were a buzz but to my dismay when I turned on my computer and saw Lance Armstrong’s picture under the title First Man on Moon, Neil Armstrong dead at 82 I just lost it.  Are we so in a hurry to be the first to have the story of someone’s failure or torrid pictures of a disaster that we don’t check the facts or care what it might do to someone?  Remember what you put on blogs, facebook, twitter whatever the media, its forever out there.  Calm down your anger when it comes to comments on social media all that swearing shows you don’t have the intelligence to come up with something wittier.  You’re smart.
            You may think we can’t see you behind the lens or the key board but what you put out there shows everyone who you truly are.  If you can’t say it face to face or you don’t want embarrassing pictures of yourself than think twice before you push the publish button because most of us are not interested in your personal hygiene moments and other classless stuff that are best to be deleted.
            In 1969 Neil Armstrong was the first person on the moon and before he left a historical foot print in the dust he said, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." So here’s a thought, let’s leap forward and go out there…turn off the twitter and talk to someone face to face use the cell phone for taking pictures of beauty because you might miss something historical in your own life.
