see relatedNews travels fast…..maybe a little too fast
One of the drawbacks of staying so “connected” with the news through tv and the internet (email, facebook, myspace, twitter, all the various blogging sites etc.) is that you sometimes get “bombarded” with the same news over and over again when something big happens.
Say…..when two big celebrities die in one day.
And I dunno about you, but I can only hear the same thing over and over again for so long before I get sick of it……..! So hearing/reading “omg, Michael Jackson died!” every 10 seconds was quite aggravating.
It “softened the blow” so to speak.
Another drawback is that this “bombardment” only lasts a couple of hours at most. So I gotta wonder that if I was somehow A.F.K. (away from keyboard) for those two hours—heaven forbid—would I not have heard this news until later maybe? And not gotten so sick and tired of hearing about it?
But as it was, I didn’t even have time to be surprised at either death – I was too busy getting notified from all ends. I literally could not even do my work for the rest of the day because people were too busy telling me all about who died and how/why.
Thankfully, I am able to leave work and go home; I can turn off the radio/tv and I can log off the internet. So that’s what I did for a while. I rented “Beerfest” and watched that…..for a good 3 hours. (Watched it twice – 2nd time with audio commentary)
I highly recommend it.
And now I’m back to my old self – and I can finally process all that information I received yesterday.
P.S. - I may have to watch Beerfest a 3rd time so I can hear the OTHER audio commentary (it’s that good)
