Getting Personal

For the most part the posts of my blog are related to design, music, photography…basically creative subjects. But every now and then I have the desire to write about everyday things and so I’m going to start incorporating those into the blog. So to kick things off, why not write about things that have bugged me today?

1. I admit that I watch a lot of HGTV, especially the shows dealing with finding a new house. For the most part I can cope with the varying personalities of the home shoppers, but it drives me nuts when the guys are mostly concerned with finding a house with a “man-cave” and when the women are constantly concerned about having granite countertops as if that has to be a built-in feature and you’d be crazy to buy a house without them. Shudder!

2. The commercial being run now by Discover that starts off with the line “We’re a nation of consumers…and there’s nothing wrong with that.”  I find it ironic how credit card companies are promoting themselves as the solution to the national debt problem.

3. The fact that Bernie Mac died today.

    Can you tell me who did your layout? I’ve been looking for one kind of like yours. Thank you.

    I’m so sad to hear about Bernie Mac. Diego & I loved The Bernie Mac show….very smart & funny. :(

    I too was so shocked about Bernie. So sad. And, those house buyers that just comment on the furniture, and what is in the house. HELLO!! That stuff doesn’t come with it! Get over the clutter!

    Clearly those people who get so hooked on what’s currently existing or non-existing in the house have not visited http://www.apartmenttherapy.com
