MTV

Thanks for the post, Vernon Lowe

I recently got satellite TV at my house because I found a good deal online when I searched “direct tv rochester”. I started to explore different channels and found myself watching MTV one night. MTV is totally different than it used to be. I can remember coming home from school when I was in high school and watching the top 10 video countdown with Carson Daly. I loved watching music videos, and MTV and VH1 always showed music videos. Now it seems like all there is to watch on MTV is trashy reality shows. I do not enjoy watching them, and I think it is sad that music videos have kind of become a thing of the past. I will probably have to explain to my children one day what a music video is. I guess people probably do not care much about music videos anymore because they listen to the music with ipods and MP3 players. Technology has come a long way in the past 10 years. I guess that is just the world we are living in.

Family Addition?

We've been tossing around getting a pet for the kids lately. Well, it would have to be two because the girls really just cannot share. There are a lot of things to weigh out when making this kind of decision, mostly what we will do when we have to travel, not to mention what kind of pets to get. I'm partial to smaller animals just because they are a little easier to deal with, but they aren't quite kid-friendly unless it was a rabbit. We do love rabbits but we would have to worry about making the house safe for it to go around. We would need to cover everything in a cable protector because we have so many loose wires and cords, we would have to be able to put everything on the floor away, and so on and so on. I'm not sure if it's really a great idea right now, but maybe once we figure things out we can make a solid decision.
