  Music - Taylor Swift & Kanye West (MTV VMAs) - 092009

  Just a short post to say, I am sorry that Taylor Swift's moment (big moment) was hijacked and ruined by Kanye West's comments and behavior during her acceptance speech. There is a time and a place for expressing your opinion of your friend's merits when they don't win an award, but not by taking the stage and the moment of the winner of that award. It shows little class and little respect, and utterly destroys the joy and momentum for the winner. I'm just glad that during the course of the awards show, Beyonce was able and willing to make up for Kanye's actions by providing Swift an opportunity to return and have her moment.

  Kanye, yet another nail in the coffin for my attention to your antics and music.

  Taylor Swift, keep making music and getting your moments.

  Beyonce, thanks for being the classy person not enough people give you credit, and for also being an award winner.

  Blog Posting - General Apology

  Just a quick post, for the few that may read my rantings.

  I am not apologizing for the things that I've posted (what I've written I feel to be true), I'm just sorry that it's given the impression that I'm a negative person since what I've felt strongly about posting involves (usually) something that either upsets me or saddens me.

  That being said, I find it personally funny that I tend to not rate things poorly (at least television and entertainer wise), but nail business practices of the networks or business.

  Maybe when I become more comfortable with the blogging process, I'll take the time for more cheerful or positive topics to write about. They exist, . . . I know they do, . . . other people talk about them so they're out there somewhere . .

  TV - Opinion - Sci Fi Channel name change to SyFy

  For my personal archive, this is from my posting to:

  Blog Spotlight: Sci Fi Channel Creator Says SyFy Name Change is Dumb

  "It's dumb to me, because I don't feel that the name change will bring any quality to what feels to be a stale network, who's focus has been shifting from quality science fiction television and movies, and becoming more of a me too network with reality shows that aren't of the genre and poorly crafted made for SciFi movies. If Sci Fi Channel had announced a round table of top talent writers and directors, focusing the money away from copycat creature movies, and would become home to other networks quality but canceled series (ie 4400, Journeyman, Surface, etc), then I could be excited. Where is the vision for legacy, not just trademark and marketing. I've no inclination right now to buy a SyFy t-shirt at the SyFy online store . . and I don't wonder why."
