A bit of gossip

He said. She said. Notice how there is so much to talk about and yet, nothing is said at all.


So many interesting things are happening around the world as we speak... global warming, terrorism, Olympics 2008, escalating gas prices, sinking economy and so on and so forth. But the words that escape our lips hour after hour and supplement the stratosphere, are rarely worth transmitting.

Gossip is as old as the origins of human language. Much like the mosquitoes from the Jurassic period, it has survived war, famine and the industrial revolution and has ingrained itself so completely into today's society that often times, one's nighttime reading consists of a judicious magazine pertaining to the sordid affairs of those poor beings who were unfortunate enough to be remotely famous.

Poor Britney's bottom has suffered such ridicule that I wonder how it dares to expose itself, even for a daily cleaning. Let's not forget Richard Gere's poor judgement on kissing an Indian actress. One's aim for fame should not include burning effigies in every slum in India. Or poor Obama running for office. Its really not his fault that his name rhymes with Osama.

But the tabloids have nothing on your everyday gossip. Its positively electric. Writers out there would really benefit from tapping into this useful resource. The conversation on either end of the mobile or chatroom is sizzling, captivating and positively mind blowing. From affairs at the workplace to terminating pregnancies, the conversation is unbelievably riveting and spreads faster then fire in an acre of hay.

Why watch television? Look around you... Life is entertaining! ;)
