Daily Decrees

Beginning January 1, 2011, your all powerful yet benevolent despot will make one decree daily that will become instant and unquestionable law. Though it is said that absolute power corrupts absolutely, it is yet unkown whether absolute imagined power corrupts. Perhaps it merely corrupts the imagination. We'll find out as Marisa, the newly ordained Queen of the World, attempts to change the world for the better by making 365 unilateral decisions. Ultimately though, it doesn't really matter whether you agree with her decisions or not. So feel free to comment as long as you understand your comments are in vain. In all honesty though your queen is hopeful that you will consider the vast majority of her decrees to be the kind of decisions you wish your previous leaders had made years ago. The best part of being the supreme ruler of the world is that changes can be made easily. There are no agreements to be reached, no protocols to follow, and no bureaucratic red tape...and that is the whole point.

February 23, 2011 – You Aren’t Special Part III – What We Learned in Kindergarten

We all learned in Kindergarten that it’s not OK to make fun of other people, didn’t we?  Clearly this is something we need to relearn.  Otherwise we wouldn’t look forward to those early rounds of certain reality TV shows that highlight the most ridiculous performances.  I have to figure that most of these people know that their auditions are terrible and are performing that way on purpose with the hopes of getting on TV.  However, there must be some people who are legitimately trying their best and due to nerves or a complete misunderstanding of their own talent, they suck.  In the case of the former explanation, banning the airing of these auditions would just be an extension of yesterday’s decree.  We don’t need to glorify people who would do anything to get on TV.  In the case of the latter explanation, we just need to exercise better manners.  It shouldn’t be OK to turn someone’s embarrassment into entertainment.  Sadly, I know many of you think that the bad auditions are the best part of these shows, but sometimes you have to give up things you might enjoy for the betterment of all humanity.  Talent shows should highlight talent.  We do not need to continue the misconception that true talent can yield the same results as being crazy or pathetic.  Sure, life seems to work out that way sometimes, but this week is all about doing everything possible to end that problem.
Reality TV talent shows may not air poor auditions.  These shows must focus on the actual talent competition.
Sorry again to take away your entertaining train wreck, but you will be a better person for it.
As always I remain your all-powerful and benevolent Queen of the World,
Marisa

    But then I never would have been able to buy that William Hung CD! It was so inspirational!
