Nate is going to kill me for this one...
....but I hope he is fine with it. The social structure we reside in is ever changing but not like the seasons more like how rust changes a car. We need something to look up too and i am not talking about kids i am talking about all of us. For some reason we exist in a state of chasing the lifestyle of people who have it better and not just chasing but digesting them. This is going to lead me to the statement I've wanted to make for a while now.
ACTORS ARE OVER VALUED IN OUR SOCIETY!!! People talk about athletes as over valued in our society saying things like "He just throws a football" or "so what he has a good jump shot" but if you ask most sports fans that is all they say. A Lakers fan wont tell you that Kobe Bryant is a wonderful man changing the world with his career but I know a lot of people would say that about George Clooney or Brad Pitt. What do they do to be called trailblazers or great artistic talents? The director says go and you cry or kiss a girl or shoot someone with a fake gun, yeah that's great. I watch a TON of movies I am not going to lie and some of them are great artistic achievements but who talks about directors or screenplays anymore? Most people only know the star actor and they grasp at his or her image and glamor as the cure for it all.
How much talent does it take to pretend? It takes talent but I don't think it takes any more talent then a stand up comedian who can command and control an audience by himself having written the material himself for 30, 45, or 60 minutes. This isn't one of those rants where I ask you to respect firefighters and soldiers more, good god I wouldn't ask that. Having been a soldier myself I would ask you simply to try and treat them normally and as for firefighters....I'm not comfortable with giving them credibility as being fantastic while we underpay them. A higher social status don't pay the rent.
The president doesn't even carry the gravitas of your favorite actor/actress and just because its always been that way, that doesnt mean it still should be. We should stop it and be realistic. No more Entertainment Tonight no more Inside Edition no more smoking gun.com. Don't even be mad at movie stars who tell you to vote give them the consumers cold shoulder until they exihibit the same neurotic worries about grabbing too much of the spotlight that Nate did the day he proposed. He came out after the show he co-starred in was over gave her the ring, proposed and walked away. Having done the play and the ring presentation for a reason for the subject matter and not the attention.
