Are CD's Becoming Extinct?

  Are CD's becoming extinct? That's the question I ask myself because most artists put their albums on VEVO so fans can listen to the entire album. If they like the album, they're more inclined to support that artist because they've had a chance to listen to the album before buying the CD. Between YouTube and leaking albums, I'm surprised albums are still selling. The music industry has had to adapt to the technology industry because technology provides a potential untapped market. If my favorite artist puts out an album online and I listen to the entire album and like it, I'm able to buy the CD because I've heard their music. In the old days, you didn't have that flexibility because technology hasn't advanced like it has now.
What if someone bought an album they didn't like? They've wasted $15 on a CD they weren't checking for. If artists promote their music through social media, they gain more support than they would if they promoted the old-fashioned way, word of mouth, mixtapes, etc. You have some artists who do both: Promote their music via VEVO/YouTube and do shows, put out mixtapes, etc., but social media makes it possible for artists to reach a wider audience by promoting their music. No matter the artist's popularity, it's guaranteed they have a YouTube VEVO page or social media account. Listening to albums on VEVO can be a blessing & curse. It's a blessing because the consumer's able to judge whether the album is worth buying, and it's a curse because the artist loses potential money from album sales.

Married At First Sight

  I'm tickled by the show Married At First sight for one reason: Watching couples fake it until they make it on national TV is pure comedy. I mean, I've only watched one episode and I know 100% of those couples are not compatible. Why would they? They don't know each other. All these couples do is get married & go on honeymoons, and then spend time with each other. What kind of foolishness is that? I thought the honeymoon phase comes AFTER marriage, but I was wrong.
Married At First Sight makes a mockery of marriage because it sends the message you need to find someone quick, or your life will pass you by. I couldn't be on that show because I don't believe in rushing marriage. Marriage is a big decision, one that requires careful planning. You have to love someone in the good & bad times, and to me this show doesn't do marriage justice at all. Those couples know they don't love each other, they're putting on a show for notoriety & fortune.

Weeds=No Harvest


Many farmers know they need to get rid of the weeds in order to have the best harvest possible. Weeds make the harvest look messy because you have this beautiful garden with all these fresh vegetables & fruits, but there's an equal number of weeds. That's like Jesus & Satan trying to be cool with each other, and that's NEVER going to happen. What does a smart farmer/gardener do? They use Weed-Be-Gone or any other type of weed removal fertilizer to get rid of weeds before they have a chance to manifest. It's the same with someone trying to attract a potential spouse.
We live in a fallen world, I understand that. Because we live in a fallen world, life experiences can sometimes create weeds in our lives. If a person's trying to find their soulmate, they may (not) be honest about the weeds (junk) in their lives. A harvest cannot take place until you get rid of the weeds, otherwise your garden will look crazy because you have beautiful, fresh produce mixed in with weeds & nobody has time for that. Now, some hunters are willing to fertilize a potential partner's lives to create a beautiful garden, but that takes work and how many of us are willing to put in that kind of work for the garden we want? Not many, if at all.

Loss Around The Holidays: By Crissy N. Jones

I like promoting others' writing on my blog website.

Some thoughts as we enter the holiday season. It is important to remember that not everyone is looking forward to Christmas. Some people are not surrounded by large wonderful families. Some of us have problems during the holidays and are overcome with great sadness when we remember the loved ones who are not with us. For many it is their first Christmas without a particular loved one and many others lost loved ones at Christmas. And, many people have no one to spend these times with and are besieged by loneliness. We all need caring, loving thoughts right now. If I don't see your name, I'll understand. May I ask my friends wherever you might be, to kindly post this status for one hour to give a moment of support to all those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, worries of any kind and just need to know that someone cares.
