Greeting's, my reader's. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday. Mine is just getting started.
I want to talk today about rumors. Those little stories that get spread about people, some of them true, some of them complete lies etc.
If you are a an actor or actress whose name is widely known, you know somebody some where is starting or has made a story about you. Its in gossip magazines all over the world. Tabloids. Just the cover of these things alone can make you want to stay away from it.
What about you? Anyone ever said to you or have you heard a story about you and it makes you think, "where in the world did that come from?" or if is true, you have to go back and say " it didnt happen that way. Here is what actually happened"
I think we have all had that happen to us at one point in our lives. I can remember once being in middle school and a rumor was spread about me. It started in the early part of the school year. I was in 8th grade. By the end of school that year in june, the story was still going around and I had to tell people i knew, that it didnt happen the way it was told to them. I lost so many friends that year. Than again, in retrospect they never were my friends if they chose to listen to the guy who started it.
I remember an old television show that has since been cancelled, but it was a spin off of a popular 1980's sitcom called 'Growing Pains'. One of the kids in the show was trying to make friends with the popular kid in his school. The popular kid wanted nothing to do with other boy. So, the boy says something to the kid and of course he believes him. By the end of the show you see just how fast that story got around that even the principal of the school has to visit the main characters house.
Rumors can spread like wild fire
The 1976 thriller, "Carrie" is an example. set in a high school around a girl who isnt the most popular girl in her class. Rumors start to circulate about her that by the end of the film when she reveal's her self and power's that she has ends up being a rather tough scene. Payback. We know what it can be.
My way of thinking about rumors is this: Don't listen to them. You know the truth. That should be all that matter's.
Big film suggestion coming your way tomorrow. Tomorrow's blog topic is about......hmmm, you're gonna have to wait. But you're going to dig it.
By The Way, Thanks Martin for the title of todays blog.
D....., well, I'm gone.
