I consider myself to be a news junky....or kind of. Yet yesterday, I must of been asleep or something because it wasn't until I got home that I heard about Anna Nicole Smith dropping dead in a hotel room in Florida. Why hadn't I known this? Do I even care, maybe it's just curiosity.
It takes me back to the day of 911 when I was driving to an avid composer editing class and I was so frustrated that I couldn't find the place so I turned off the radio, thinking it was distracting me. When I finally found the place and walked inside the teacher said, "did you hear what happened in New York"? I was dumbfounded....why did I turn the radio off?
After 911, I told myself that I would always be alert and know what was going on, yet yesterday was a clear reminder to me that you can't always know what is going on in this world. Not that I am comparing Smith to 911, because by no means do they even come close. What I do know is this....there is so much crap that goes on in this world today that sometimes you have to take a break from the "breaking news".
