Today is election day in Tennessee where local and state races are on the ballot. Voting is a right and a duty that I take seriously.
Here in Hamilton County, Tennessee we are electing a new mayor, district attorney and sheriff. Let’s hope for the best that there will be fair minded people who will serve and lead our community.
I think it’s cool to share your opinions online. What is not cool is to be toxic or destructive. There’s too much of that going on these days. A good critique is acceptable. Being personal and tearing down someone who doesn’t deserve it is not.
People who are in the limelight for horrible things need to be held accountable. We all must be mindful to be kind and remember someone works hard on the things they care a lot about, no need in harming them.
Today is already a day I’d like to restart. Tuesdays are really sucky if you ask me.
Sometimes the happy little party in your head needs to break out into the crazy world you live in. Everyone should enjoy that stuff between your ears sometimes. Enjoy the cerebral celebration.
MTV is an American cable channel that launched on August 1, 1981.
The fact it’s been 41 years ago makes me feel a certain way. I’m going to say it was better back in my day when it was about music videos and culture. Michael Jackson, David Bowie, Madonna, Van Halen, Duran Duran, Whitney Houston, Pat Benatar, and so many more influenced the hearts and minds of so many youths.
Happy Birthday, MTV.
