Dear Time

Dear Time,
Is it just me or are you moving a little fast? It might just be me but I feel as if you are moving at the speed of light. It is weird to think I have been around for 24 years, seriously that is a long freaking time and in some ways it isn't. I mean I have met people, seen things, and gone places in those years that I will never forget. But on the other hand I have lost people, missed things, and haven't figured out how to be in two places at once yet. Is there some secret way to manage you that other people have figured out but I'm missing? I mean really I need to know this secret before it is to late for me to do anything about it, looking back I can't shake the feeling that I don't have enough of you. It seems you have all the power, you never stop not even for moment to let us collect our thoughts. You also have a bad habit of stretching out the bad moments while shortening the good ones. Is it too much to ask for you to add a few extra minutes to those times we forget you exist until were reminded by something random like the sun or our alarm clock. As the new year is quickly approaching it is making me question whether I am wasting you, I feel as if I could've accomplished more within the years you have given me so far. Am I being greedy? I'm being greedy aren't I, sorry there is just so many things that I need to do and see. I am writing you this letter to ask you if you could slow down, even if you can only do it for a little bit I would greatly appreciate it and I have a feeling a few other people wouldn't mind it either.
A girl scared by the clock,

Dear YouTube

Dear YouTube,
I love concerts. I love music and I love to go to concerts any chance I get.Unfortunately I have hit a concert dry spell in recent years, that is where you come in. You are pretty much my go to place to watch concert clips. I have watched bands perform in radio stations, acoustically, in a stairwell and really just about anywhere a video camera can go. The concept of you site is amazingly cool and the content is umm well lets describe it as special. Isn't special the word you use to describe things you like but dislike at the same time and only use when you have too? I put you in the special category because you have a small issue with standards. Your small issue would be that you don't have any, you accept any dang video anybody wants to put on you. I mean would it be possible for you to deny a few dumb/pointless/stupid videos that should not have been made in the first place? Please stop anybody from posting a video with random pictures of an artist put to the artists music or a video with lyrics rolling while the song plays, I mean why would I want to watch that? Then there are the weird videos with pictures of a famous person set to music that I still haven't figured out the point too. If you had a filter it would save people from being tricked, its fine if people want to post stupid videos but I would rather not watch them which is hard when they post using fake screen images and titles that lie. This letter was meant to provide you with constructive criticism so that you can grow as a website and hopefully provide you with some ideas to consider.
Just a helpful patron,

Dear Grey's Anatomy

Dear Grey's Anatomy,

I have never had the real life therapy with an actual therapist so I assume they listen to you for awhile then give you helpful ways to solve your problems. Well since I don't have a therapist and I definitely can't afford one I have many personal therapies that work for me. Some of my favorites would be the great problem solver which is alcohol/bar therapy (love that one), there is the good old music therapy, there is the family/friend therapy, the personal "me" time therapy, and there is Grey's Anatomy therapy. I truly believe any problem can be addressed/solved by watching an episode of you!!! If I find myself with relationship issues like maybe I'm dating a hot brain surgeon to only find out he is married I would watch season one or if I find myself needing guidance because my dad has become a raging alcoholic I could tune into season four. Who needs a therapist when you could learn from all the mistakes your characters make and then seemingly turn out ok. Also there are your spot on quotations, have you thought about having a twitter account because I feel as if it would help spread your wisdom. I mean between you and  Tyrese there would be no need for therapists or motivational speakers. Think about it, it might be hard to get your thoughts  into 140 characters but  I think you can handle that. Now that you know I'm a fan I really don't have anything bad to say, I mean I wouldn't be mad if you kept the Derrick and Meredith relationship stable for awhile or if you had Christina be happy for an episode or two. Other then those minor suggestions I would say this letter is more of a thank you letter, I wanted to say keep up the good work.
Your awesome,
AFon

 Quotes

Meredith Grey:" At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross." 

Meredith:Sometimes the past is something you just can't let go of. And sometimes the past is something we'll do anything to forget. And sometimes we learn something new about the past that changes everything we know about the present.

Derek: "Yes or no. In or out. Up or down. Live or die. Hero or coward. Fight or give in. I’ll say it again to make sure you hear me. The human life is made up of choices. Live or die. That’s the most important choice. And it’s not always in our hands."

Meredith: "We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future, as if figuring it out will cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes. But one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself. The future is never the way we imagined it."

Dear MTV

Dear MTV,
I get that you have to grow with the times but whoever said all growth is not good growth was right. Somewhere between being the go to music channel and the go to reality show channel you forgot the one thing you are supposed to be based on, MUSIC! Right now it seems like 90 percent of your programming is reality shows that are in no way related to music. Pretty sure when you got rid of TRL you got rid of the one thing that was related to music. Your secondary channel MTV2 plays more music related content in one day then you play in one week. I have a few ideas for you bring back TRL, your new show The Seven can stay, add a morning talk show that is in the View format geared toward your younger demographic, limit yourself to two reality shows a day preferably music related ones, bring back the show Diary pretty please, on Monday or Tuesday nights have a show geared toward new album releases including live performances, and really add any show that is about music!!!! Also can you stop replaying everything 30 times if you need time filler play music videos.
Music fan for life,

Dear Halloween

Dear Halloween,
Since you are officially in my top ten favorite holidays I am happy your are almost here. I miss the days of hitting at least three neighborhoods with my sisters to get as much candy as we possibly could then spending the rest of our night sorting it. Now the only thing better then going out and drinking with friends is doing it in costume. Apparently Savannah, GA is a haunted town so the possibilities are endless when it comes to haunted houses or ghost tours. Might check out the famous cemetery they have here too. Now since I can't exactly spend very much this year on a costume I might end up recycling which is fine as long as I do get to celebrate. I can't wait to see what the popular costumes are this year my guesses would be Lady Gaga, Jersey Shore cast members, Justin Bieber, and maybe some Avatar characters. I am so excited to see what people dress up as! Hopefully girls remember classy not trashy there is a huge difference between the two.
October 31st here I come,

Dear Wal-Mart

Dear Wal-Mart,

Hey! Things seem to be going pretty well for you and your plan to take over the retail business. I mean seriously after you become the only retailer because you bankrupted all the other similar retailers what are you going to do next? Is your plan to buy small towns then paint them blue and yellow while making every business have Wal-Mart in the title? I have tried to forgive you for coming out with the stupid four dollar list for drugs because you likely set back the prescription drug industry about 30 years. By drawing consumers in with the promise of cheap drugs just to get them into your stores to shop is kind of shady. Truth is you made the four dollar list because you can afford to lose money on drugs to get people into your stores then when all your competition goes bankrupt because they can't offer the same prices you can then you will get rid of the list and start charging ridiculous prices. You call yourself a Christian company yet you come off as a greedy bully with the mission of being the only company around. Your not the only company out there that wants profits over all other costs but I am just saying with great power comes great responsibility. So do I love your low prices yes, but do I feel a little bad every time I shop your store yes.
Still not fully trusting you.....,
AFon

Dear Kanye West

Dear Kanye West,
   I own three of the four cd's that you have released and as a musician you are talented. I have songs of yours on my workout mix and my sleep mix. I have no problem saying I like your music because I actually do. Now since I don't know you personally I can't comment on who you are as a person but I can comment on the public perception of you. So after your actions and comments have been filtered by the media the perception I get is that your creative, smart, materialistic, confident, self-conscious, cocky, and rude. Those would be some of the words I would pick to describe you because honestly you have this weird pattern of being likable then purposely looking for enemies. It's cool to be controversial but when you do it on a regular basis purposefully it starts to come off as a bit desperate. Desperate for what I don't know, maybe you like negative attention or you enjoy the bad guy do whatever you want image. The whole new album cover controversy reminds me of when a kid does something they know is bad even after their parents tell them not to do it just to see what happens to them.You had to of known that album cover was not going to fly, seriously its really kind of ugly. I get your already super successful so you don't actually need new fans or whatever but why are you handicapping the music? Is the album cover really worth keeping the music you worked so hard on away from people, I don't think it is mostly because ignoring the suppose ed demonic references the cover is not anything special, it is only memorable because of what it is depicting. I'm not trying to stifle you creativity but goodness stop doing things just to say you did them, nothing is more annoying then a person who makes things into bigger deals then they had to be.
Just some thoughts,
Afon
