“In the wild struggle for existence, we want to have something that endures, and so we fill our minds with rubbish and facts, in the silly hope of keeping our place.”Oscar Wilde
WOO HOO! I’ve existed (locally) than, as I helped cut the ribbon on the Central Library in London, Canada. I was on (what was then called) “The New PL”. Ah, that was a great day!
After being on TV, I’ve stopped being impressed by people who are. As Groucho Marx said: “I wouldn’t want to belong to any club that would have someone like me as a member.”
Sometimes it seems like that’s the way we have to go to find work. Just saw a promo for a former “real housewife” (AKA rich B****) Just sold a network a show where she is an event planner.
Similarly for billionaire George Soros. Serious wealth and power seem to be negatively correlated with deliberate public exposure. (Class clowns like Donald Trump excepted, of course.)
@ A person of Interest- If you think scrirptwriting for a reality show is a cake job, spend a week or two with John and Kate or the Jersey Shore kids (?).@Treered- Probably not the Truman you had in mind, but where the hell’s Harry when we need him?@Allan V- Been there, done that; wish I hadn’t. 30 years of infamy – I still occasionally get asked “didn’t I see you on…” and yeah, you did. I blame the “Furniture Guys” (local PBS show), my boss, and a laundry disfunction. Cute backstory. You won’t read it here.

What happens when you become “enlightened?” Do you get to be a director?

A lot of people watch YouTube instead of TV. And it’s FAR too easy to get on YouTube! Especially if your talent doesn’t exist…

Wisdom is recognizing “reality”, not necessarily accepting it as valid.

I must exist, because I sit on my TV all the time….

the old standby: “all the world’s a stage…” or maybe TRUMAN is the only who really exists?

I hope that media guru has a satellite dish somewhere. ++++My credo is that “you don’t exist once you’re on TV.”
