I’m not feeling the bloganovella today. The key is it is mid evening and I am not feeling the words or the worlds at all. I truly think I programmed myself to be a morning writer. I can do other odds and ends like world building (specifically mapmaking) in the eve but I don’t want to write. I rather I didn’t write at all if possible. Instead I’m here sitting in bed and blogging and listening to my kids in the distance debating whether or not Chess is a sport and one of them openly expressing how much more respect he has for a Chess player than a basketball player. It is another one of those odd conversations that show me how much the y value intelligence and how they specifically define what intelligence is/reflects.
Anyhow, I’m not feeling the writing, but I am interested in thinking about the way we do perceive people and what we focus on in our culture. Celebrity, of course, is the pinnacle of success and royalty–no matter how you come by that celebrity status. Some are famous for potential, such as LeBron James’ son (also his legacy status makes him an instant star). Some are famous for being famous like the Kardashians. Others are rich or talented or any number of things that draw people to you. There’s this tik tok dancer Charlie D’melio (not sure of spelling) who has over a hundred million subscribers. Why? I suppose she represents a level of sexuality that people look for. I find it silly. Number 2 on the tik tok list is a dude who cracks jokes. I’m surprised by that.
Anyhow, that’s 10. I’m out.
