TV and Profanity

badlanguageWatching a movie with a modest amount of profanity on basic cable TV is kind of funny when they edit the profanity out. Yeah I am still a fan of regular cable TV and have not cut the cord yet primarily because of over the air signals are hard to get where I live. So when you watch a movie that has curse words and even tasteful nudity edited out it is almost comical. I guess it’s what you have to do to show some movies to a wider audience. I have thought about swearing and think it’s OK if you are showing extreme emotion but if it’s used in a way that it becomes just something to say because the writer couldn’t figure out something else to say then it loses it’s intended effect. It’s really surprising what doesn’t surprises us these days. Cussing on TV is one of those things that has made us a little desensitized to the whole world of profanity.

Dammit, I forgot to use an actual curse word in this whole post on profanity! How dare me.

Life always offers you a second chance, It’s called tomorrow…Anonymous

Daily Prompt: Fortune

Fortune is a loaded word. It can be the result of hard work or pure luck. It’s something that isn’t always about accumulation of wealth but opportunities to do exciting things in life. Carnivals have people who can predict your future by telling your fortune in the palm of your hands. There is a school of thought that you have to make your own fortune and not to let it just come to you. Whatever your fortune might be, I hope its a good one.

A New Look For The Homepage of Tony Burgess – Powered By #wordpressdotcom

I decided a more modern, cleaner look was needed for the season and the new year. After playing around a little I am using the Toujours Theme from Automattic, the people that brings us WordPress.com  It’s a theme that is ideal for weddings but with some customization it makes a pretty good all-round theme for just about anything. I like the colors and the ease in which images and text can be seen by the reader.

Let me know what you think. Thanks for your continued interest in my blog and posts.

Before I Forget…It’s Monday
