ALITerAture

I should just mind my own damn business. I mean…its not like it
affects me in any real way. But heck it irritates the crap out of me.
In fact its irritating the crap out of me for the fact that after yonks
of not blogging, i chose to blog about it now. However, i do have a
point to ponder, and it is after all my blog space. So be it.

I was told last week its Siti’s nikah day today. Im trying hard to
resist the temptation of rolling my eyes again everytime her name is
mentioned, even by me. Lets see. What other Siti-related inputs have
there been since the whole shebang of her soon to be union with the
Misai Man (yuck)….ah yes…the live telecast by various networks from
Indonesia who are willing to pay through thier nose mouths and ear
lobes…uhm..well thats all the exposure i allow myself to handle when
it comes to this ridiculous phenomenon. Ah whatever.

Once upon a time, she was famous for being a singer. Once upon a time
only her fans care. Once upon a time, i never cared. Now i cant help
but care. Because there goes what we know of the appreciation of the
arts. Celebrity hype culture of today takes it all away, churns it in
its ugly mouth and spit it out. Its
no more just about the arts and science of music/theatre. Its thier
lives as well. Its not high pop culture anymore. Its insignificant
trash culture. Hollywood makes a great big brother example (duh). What
was that saying they keep repeating in the industry? bad publisity is
better than no publisity. huh. yeah. no shit sherlocks. thats great for
the "stars" and "superstars" of today. for now. but what about the
future individuals and thier perception of real talent, tradtitional vs
pop culture and its worth, and making a living out of it? and what of
thier values when pinned to that ideal? I predict the deterioration of
the industry. And the deterioration in the appreciation of the craft.

Maybe im just worrying for nothing. Maybe there is a good that ll come
out of it. Maybe im just turning into a traditionalist. Maybe im just
sick of the whole thing.Maybe i should just get back to work now.

But i should just as well mind my own damn business. huh.
