Celebrities

Me and my brother were in the car, him ranting about how much he hates Justin Bieber and how we doesn't understand why all the girls love him. Aside from his obvious jealously for said girls he cannot get, i made him apparent of his hypocracy, how can you hate/love anyone you don't know. Justin Bieber is someone on the TV who gets a computer to sing his songs for him, i joke he is quite talented. For a robot.

We live in a society which is dominated by celebrities and the media, and i for one and somewhat ok with that. Although the idea of celebrities being "just like us" is lost somewhat on younger people, i heard someone say that before your 10 your parents are gods to you. They are these huge figures which are invincible and can do anything. And the reason parenting is apparently so hard isn't because teenagers are angry, know it all sods, who have mood swings all the time.

I SAID WE AREN'T ANGRY, EURGH STOP JUDGING ME!

It's more to do with the realisation that parents too are just other people. I personally believe the fact we are rather obssessed with celebrities/gods/leaders/"insert power role here" is because we are flawed, and believing there is someone out there who isn't flawed gives us hope, to be better people, which is good isn't it? Is it?

I'm still indecisive if it is or not, whether telling a kid santa isn't real is wrong... or just plain funny, the amount of children i've told that too, ah it brings a tear to my eye. Well more to their own eyes, but you get me.

I am being rather cynical today, i suppose it's because i have been watching Friends and laugh at Chandler alot, he is rather funny. Anyhow, enough deep rambling, celebrities are people too, and so are you.

TV

Again, I personally am not one for a really cool opening line, delving straight to my point will suffice. Children's TV is rather strange, i was watching Cbeebies with my younger brother... I love it how everyone has a younger sibling/cousin when they are watching something "not appropriate for their age range", no idea why i quoted that. I genuinely do have a younger brother. He's 12.

Anyhow, i was watching a said TV programme called "In the Night Garden" which is strange... to say the least. The introduction involves a mutated person it seem covered in a blanket, i'll tell you what it reminded me of. In greek mythology when you die you're carried over a river by a ferry owner towards the afterlife. Rather deep for a kids show. How do these shows even come about?

Do the board when having a meeting suddenly decide to pursue alternative options, i can imagine it goes down like this

Boss: Welcome to the new Cbeebies programme ideas meeting anybody got any ideas?
Lackey 1: We could do something musical?
Boss: I like it, bring in Carey Grant and David Grant and stick them on a show so we can ruin their reputations and thus they will never bother the BBC again... Muhaha
Lackey 2: We could do some science?
Boss: Cool, i'm thinking Scottish chick with crazy hair and CGI.
Lackey 2: Got it
Boss: Alright guys, i want to mind fuck young children so they are like what the hell is this?
BRING IN THE WEED!
*everyone smokes except one guy*
Lackey 1: How about men... but but but, listen, you need to listen, they have TV's in their stomach's.
All else: YEAHHH!
Lackey 2: But the things is don't TV's need aerials? Stick them on their heads, cos that is like the best place to pick up signal in a world we've designed with no real man made objects..
All else: SUREEEE!
New Guy: *hasn't taken the weed* Erm may i interject, TV's in stomach's are cool and all, but how about placing mini documentries starring other kids their age and how they lead their own lives, it could provide great insight at an early age,
All else: Erm yeah... that could work maybe, perhaps
Boss: AND THEN THEY COULD ALL SCREAM AGAIN AGAIN WHEN THE GREAT BABY IN THE SUN DEMANDS IT!!!!
All else: Greatest. Idea. Ever
*New Guy Sigh's*
Boss: That concludes today's meeting, great idea's came out of this

And thus Teletubbies was born, i hope i have provided insight into the magical world of children's TV

Introduction

I genuinelly cannot think of any way to start my blog, my name will suffice, names are unusual. It's an identity that's given to you although you seem to grow into it, you always link say the name Melissa (not a real person i've met) with a girl you've met in your childhood, and your experiences thus so with that person, say if i were to meet another Melissa my mind would of been drawn to certain incidents involving glue and hijacking my ballon egyptian mask i made, and the vandalism of it. Bitch.

See thats the point though, even when i meet a Melissa my mind will immediatly me put at an immediate grudge purely based on other girls named Melissa i've met, anyhow.

My name's Benedict, so that's kinda unique i spose, aside from the pope, but i swear thats not his real name, so i had it before. HA!


My full name is Benedict Manser Churchus, i think my parents hated me, they were like hey Ben your born in east london how can we shit upon you? Give me a hugely posh name, that'll be great, downsides of my name is a can't really be a Muslin, i'm kinda stuck being a christian, the only way i can get more christian is stick Reverend at the front of it. If i walk into a Mosque and there like sorry mate didn't catch your name, they'll probably think i'm taking the piss...

Let me break my name down for you after much googling, and why i was given it:

Benedict: Parents liked the name Ben, disliked Benjamin, thus they gave  Latin for Blessed (Pronounced like the Brian Blessed, Blessed, not the normal i blessed you)

 Manser: Its a family name, mums side of the family from a couple of generations back, dunno why they gave that to me, whereas my brothers middle name is James. It's Hebrew for one who forgets, it's Hebrew for one who forgets, it's Hebrew for.... I'll stop now, i tried to be funny.

Churchus: No idea what language it's from but my last name really doesnt need no explanation to how i accquired it, it apparently is an abbrivation of Church House or something like that, apparently to dude who looks after the church or something.


So my full name translated means the blessed, forgetful, caretaker of the church.

That makes me feel like a someone whose been patted on the head and been told to "Go on clean the church" from an elderly lady with a smile on her face.


That kinda concludes this introduction i'd say, hopefully i'll post again sometime.

This really makes me feel like i'm talking to myself....
