Obsessions...

As I watch TV or pass through check out lines at markets and stores, one thing I don’t understand is America’s obsession with celebrities. No matter what line you walk through magazines are talking about break ups, who’s losing weight or gaining it, and who’s dating who among other things. Then there is good ol TMZ a bunch of people paid to follow people with cameras and camcorders. Do I need to know what workout David Beckham is doing, what places Brittney Spears is shopping, how to get toned arms like Michelle Obama, or what club Paris Hilton is at, what happened with Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Anniston met face to face, or someone’s beach body?

Personally I want to live my life, not follow the lives of people’s through magazines or chasing celebrities all my life with a camera. I guess the defense is the money but what good is money at the price of invading privacy. I just want to be happy and happiness is not that for me.
