"Save the Drama fo yo Mama"

Do you ever wonder how much the world revolves around everyone else and their problems?
 E entertainment's whole job is to report the news on what everyone else is doing, wearing, and dating.  The real world- we thrive off of drama, stories, and juicy gossip.

So, how is it being on the other side?  It's all great fun when you get to tell the story about the fat hairy boyfriend who hates the roommate of the girl who is hooking up with the guy that he has idolized for the past year and lives with.  Yea, stories can get a little tangled up after you pass them along to a few people, but what sucks is when the story is all about you!

Let me tell you being on "the other side". It might be pretty crappy, but the twists and turns to your own life are altered in such ways by other people that getting mad would simply be a waste of time.  You have to take it all in with a grain of pepper or however that quote goes, and look at it as entertainment.  Just like E!, we entertain each other with ridiculous amounts of ridiculous and outlandish stories. . . so when I heard all the crazy things I had done this past weekend, I just about peed my pants wondering, "Either I have an evil twin, or I had an out of body experience, where God only knows what happened"

I can't say I don't love hearing all the good stories about X hooking up with Y's ex boyfriend's dogwalker, who works at the bike shop, but really has a crush on Michelle. . . BUT lessoned learned, next time you want to encourage the gossip, make sure that person know's you (the person being gossiped about) are around the corner listening to everything they say about you, so they can stop and look like they got slapped in the face with a pan, while you stroll around and give them a big smile.

Words of Wisdom. . .  from the not so wise- Save the Drama fo yo Mama people.
