disappoitment
i started watching brothers and sisters this summer on abc.com. i really enjoy the fact that if you miss a show, you can grab it online. it's pretty cool. so, anyway....i got into brothers and sisters. it was a great show. a great loving yet completely dysfunctional family. but this season has severely disappointed me. there has been adultery, the loss of a child making a seemingly happy couple split, a miscarriage, a drug relapse...the list goes on. some of the story lines are ok. the reality of the show still keeps me watching but i am so damn sick of adulterous and sex lines on tv shows. can't there be a show with a loving family with real life stories being played out? does it all have to revolve on who can screw the most?
our country is so screwed up with our sex morals. it's pathetic. we're all looking at sex to make us the man we think it will make us, or bring us the love we always dreamed to have. we look to sex for all of our darkness to hide in, all of our insecurities to die with. but none of these things happen. we're still pathetic kids running around giving something so special to anyone who will give us a lick of attention. and these shows aren't helping. these shows are telling us to go ahead and do it. in fact your missing out on something if you don't.
well, you're not. you'll only lose a bit of yourself in the process. steve and i both had sex outside of marriage. and we both wish we never had. we never had sex together until marriage, but we still have all the baggage from the past. all those emotions and images that seem to follow us. i don't know how many single people read this blog. but i just feel the urge to say, wait. as hard as it is. as much as your hormones are raging and as much as you're seeking love, just wait. it's not worth it. it's not. take it for a person who learned the lesson too late. wait.
and for these shows...i really hope that someday i'll turn on my tv and see something really worth watching. and not something i watch because it's entertaining even though i disagree with the majority of it.
stepping of my soapbox now...
