“We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn..."

"I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life..."

“I left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me that I had several more lives to live, and could not spare any more time for that one. It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves.”

"...if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

Miss Teen South Carolina Responds


Well, Miss Teen South Carolina, Caitlin Upton, has appeared on national television again. This time, the Today Show is giving her the face-time. If you haven't seen Upton's interview segment from the Miss Teen USA pageant, you need to get with the program.

Since I have both linked to the YouTube clip of the pageant and provided commentary on the contents, I feel obligated to post her response in the interest of providing fair and balanced coverage here on my non-newsy blog.

All I can say this time is bless her little pea-pickin' heart. I'm sure she'll be wealthier than I'll ever be by sunrise.

But... does this mean she's abandoning the map-needy people of South Africa?

Caitlin got a major break by being interviewed by Ann Curry. Ann Curry could make Pamela Anderson sound like a genius. Could Ann Curry be any more fawning? She really is the least enjoyable person on television. And, we have the same alma mater: the University of Oregon. Damn.

Kym,
I know, right? How can we have this World Peace these pageant girls promote without the Pieces of the World coming together on a map? I mean, seriously.

RP,
I so agree. I don't think I've ever heard Ann Curry ask a tough question. She spent a good chunk of this interview coddling this girl. If you're going to do the story, DO THE STORY, you know?

My Photo
Name: Student of Life
Location: South Cackalacki, United States

I'm a TV news producer turned stay-at-home mom. The transition from career woman to full-time mommy has been quite a journey, and I've learned a lot. I am a wife and the mother of two boys, My Little Sunshine and Dos. I write about being a wife and a mother, but I also write about being a woman trying to find a new place in the world. I have been known to go on rather verbose rants, usually about stupidity and ignorance--sometimes both. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, but I do know that I want to be a student of life until my last breath.
