Okay - this may be a first and a last blog - Just lost everything I just wrote.  %#!!!#.  I am too old and too set in  my ways.  I am on the down slope of life - so I only read and watch what interests me.  Just remember - what goes around comes around so some things you see as new - I've seen before - maybe just under a different name or venue.  It is good to explore and wonder and make life choices and ponder....you never stop learning, however, I've found my moral compass and values and at this stage ...my feet are planted.  My one suggestions - if you are going to watch anything - try PBS.  They have good theatre - Masterpiece Classics like Downton Abby and the Mid-wife.  Excellent musical programs - enjoy the classical and symphonies.  The art 21 series are excellent.  And Sesame Street is good for a simple no brainer - who doesn't like Big Bird!  And read the Bible it has all the drama, vengeance, vice, forgiveness, poetry, musicality and it knows man.  For even though the material values, products, sites, etc. have changed....man has not changed from the beginning.  We still are consumed by the seven deadly sins....that we tend to repeat over and over.   Everyone is still looking for a loop-hole.  You all are young - go explore - find yourselves - but keep your moral compass with you at all times.  Keep an even keel - and you'll fair well.
