Doctor Who

The past few posts have been about, some may say, my cynical feelings toward the corporate world and how people treat people, blah,blah,blah. I know I have a lot to say,but this post is going to be about one of my favorite shows 'Doctor Who' on BBC America.

This show has been around since the 70's and has had 11 different actors play 'the Doctor'. Oh and before I forget it's a British show so it makes it even more awesome. The Doctor is simply the Doctor, he has a name but doesn't tell anyone, and he is in a way the doctor of the Universe. He helps save planets against aliens or any other life forms that want to take over the universe, even humans he makes sure the human race doesn't try to take all the galaxies out there. If you want to learn more please wikipedia it, there is a lot of info involved since it has been around. I personally am not 'hardcore' doctor who fan but I do get the jist of the storyline and what his main point is to do. I just started to watch it and while watching either David Tennant or the current Doctor, Matt Smith do their dialogue and come to these incredible conclusions I couldn't help but think about our vast Universe.

Sometimes I cannot believe that we have such a big universe out there and I will not doubt that there might be a man in a blue box flying around out there. It's hard to believe how insignificant we are compared to everything else, but yes I am saying this "We are small, inexperienced, selfish, self-absorbed humans who think we know everything and deserve everything." But really the Doctor, the writers, the actors, etc. really put it into perspective to me. Yes, what we do in our daily lives and our actions do reflect our lives and what we do on this planet. But there is something much bigger out there, bigger than anything we could ever imagine. Other wordly life forms who probably know about us & know of our problems, but can't help. Because if they know us then they know that if they help, us humans will take advantage of their probably pure souls and use their weapons or brilliant minds in war.

I know it's pretty crazy how I can come to this solution by watching Doctor Who, a show that is make believe, a fictional person, a person made up in someone's brilliant mind. But that's what great writing does, it either intrigues or makes you question everything we know. This post is not me criticizing the show and how the ratings are doing, this is me explaining how one show can literally change the way a person thinks about the world and what it holds. I personally love shows that make my mind think and wonder, beyond what I could have ever imagined.

Peace & Love--Spread it around.

The hard workers that make a nation whole.

Dedicating this post to all the men and women who have/had a boss that makes you rather bang your head against the wall rather than listen to them. You know who are and be proud to speak your mind.


Ever looked at your hands? Like really looked at it? Have you ever wondered what your own two hands or even one hand, has done in the life that you've been living?The amazing things it has felt and the amazing things you were able to accomplish with these 2 or 1 hands. I wasn't born in the 1700's or during the Renaissance era where there were no technologies or really big trucks to carry really heavy equipment, but those men and women that worked on the Parthenon or the Coliseum, it must have been hard. The heavy material, no head or body protection, having 20 men carry one piece of 20ft wood and it would probably take hrs to put up. The amount of detail these men and women had to deal with in order for this grand master piece to be put together. So when the great leaders of the world talked or partied, the Italians or Greeks could brag "yeah I gotta round stadium, beat that." Now a days we have the technology to make the labor a little bit easier on the men and women working on construction sights, picking vegetables, or bringing furniture up the empire state building.

But what we, and by we I mean the men and women who don't have these sorts of jobs, don't understand is this: those jobs are still a lot harder even with all the technology. I am not going to mention the types of people who work these kinds of jobs but I am just gonna say they deserve to get paid a lot more that $4.50 an hr. They work before the sun comes up & way past the sun goes down, because they have to feed themselves & their family. They don't want to work all those hours, bending over, breaking bones, etc. They would rather be with their families and finding a job that might pay better. Then there are those who have high power jobs and get paid the big bucks and would rather stay at the office all night and day to the point where they are home at midnight. Yes their priorities are similar--main goal to support their family--but sometimes I can't help but think some of these people actually want to stay away from their family.


Those high corporate officials are just like the leaders during the building of the Coliseum, they take credit for the design, where it is place and what it will be used for. But they tend to forget the men that worked to bring the material up or put it together so it can look as flawless as possible. Do you think they would thank someone who holds a hammer compared to the other someone who holds the money? Me thinks not. My real point is this, that the high corporate officials, the Senators, anyone who thinks they are to good and have really big egos, they should really appreciate the so called "little people" because without them they wouldn't be on such high horses. If everyone who has ever felt "little" or has been treated with disrespect, would just walk right out and never look back all those officials wouldn't have a job. Yes IMHO they would not be in the position they are in without the 'helps' help, so a tip for the future leaders of the corporate world treat the people you might consider beneath you with a little respect they in a way control you.
