This month my new obsession has been watching Friends (I find a new show to watch every month, lol). Have no fear Burn Notice fans, it will be back next month. I couldn’t help noticing while watching Friends, something I never appreciated when it originally aired, the excellent writing, production and acting involved.
Yes, I always strive for excellence in all my work, but I couldn’t help feeling a little intimidated by the journey I am preparing to embark upon. To speak to some of my fellow classmates, they would tell you that they think that I am crazy for pursuing a second Master’s, but the heart wants what it wants. Therefore, returning to my point, while watching the show, I couldn’t help but admire Jennifer Aniston’s acting (she cracks me up) and it led me to remembering her very public divorce from Brad Pitt.
Now I don’t/didn’t choose sides, because it’s not my place. I did, however, get tired of all the speculation of who did what, who got what, etc. I am always impassioned by the feelings of those in the media spotlight. I know that those who are in the paparazzi are just doing their jobs and on the other level, it keeps the celebrity in the spotlight. I can’t help thinking, come on give them a break. It’s difficult enough to have a relationship end, but it’s even more difficult when it’s thrown into the spotlight.
I look at Jennifer Aniston and admire how she handled herself through the entire ordeal. I am of the belief that you fight anger with peace and you can grow from any and every negative experience, Ms. Aniston’s done that. She’s kept her mouth shut and never utters anything negative about her former spouse and has tried to move on with her life. Yet, the media is still hungry to know what happened in this “fairytale marriage.” Any negative (or seen as negative) comments have been uttered by Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie only to be recanted because their comments were misconstrued.http://marriage.about.com/od/entertainmen1/p/bradpitts.htm
Like I said, I haven’t chosen sides, but, I have chosen to admire and respect Jennifer Aniston’s choice on how to handle this difficult situation. It is understood, but must be said, that when one chooses to become a celebrity one is ultimately giving up oneself and is at the mercy of the media. Overall, one must understand that the only thing that can be controlled in ANY situation is one’s own self.http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/television/8124064-421/jennifer-aniston-cant-wait-to-unveil-her-film.html
What price are YOU willing to become a celebrity?
Until next time.
