Enuff with the Walk-outs.

She sings for the Lovers. For the Love.
" To all you haters... I ain't singin to you . It's about the Lovers. Leave the stress at home. Tell the drama 'no'. You ain't gonna kill my vibe.This song is about You."


She sings with such eloquence in her opening up-tempo song from her #1 Debut album 'I Look to You' , at the start of her world tour which opened Down Under .

Yes, there are the nasty reviews circulating out there right now about her purportedly mediocre 'breathless' performance and all the drama about audience-walkouts and wanting refunds.

Give her a break ok?

She's not done this for years and is starting an exhausting world tour. She's not hyper 16 'Miley Cyrus' you know?


Too all the nasty critiques out there, here's my 2-cents worth: If you're so good, people would have been paying to see YOU.

But you're nothing more than the hundreds of millions who've seen HER.




So stop the ego-fuelled 'I've got standards' walk-outs you've done to Britney and Whitney.


It's not as if Kylie would do any better dance or song , that clearly, both of which are better at .

Period.

Q ....If you've bought tickets just to be there and hope to see a train wreck, and have something to spill on your own disgruntled life with that "I should be famous too " thought , there are much better ways to spend your money. Like watching the kangaroos watch you and thinking 'Ewww, what's this toad of a human doing in our beautiful wilderness, and quickly hop off.

In Your Face .... !



The Book that EVERYONE talks about.

Yes,
Facebook.


The culural phenomenon that taught people how to keep in contact without actually doing so.


And we thought cyber sex was the most detached anyone could get.

And we know how Facebook works.

All your cyber-khakis will post a photo here , a comment there. A shoutout of their every doings. Every where.

(We're not paparazzis so we don't really care do we? Ok, maybe we do.)

And then you realise that you're staring at people's lives and wondering why their's are so full of action and happiness. Purpose, even.

And somehow, your own seems comparatively stale?


Bland. Unmeaningful.

Worse, lonely?

Perhaps Facebook has created a new platform for show-offs who get off on trying to paint a perfect image of their lives so as to harner popularity .


Sure, that's what social networks are like, but bordering on flaunting not just one's beautiful image on camera but a huge slice of your reality?

Does adding lots of people make you popular?

Does your life or who you hang with define who you are?

Does travel-ism, materialism , consumerism and elitism define your persona?


Does it also reflect a hollowness within?

Will you end up hurting your chances of true friendships and relationships by painting an image too overblown and skewed?


Think about it.

Indeed, it's all about saving Face.

And Judging a Book by its cover .



Q ... finds it depressing to witness seemingly superficial and escapist personalities.
