Fishborne Exits CSI

Oh thank you! I thought he'd never leave. 
As an actor, I assume he is talented, but I have never liked him. As a character, Ray Langston was ridiculous. He made the other CSI characters look stupid, he acted superior to them even though he was a newbie and he was almost unbearable. Much of the blame does lay on the writers for writing such silliness and now it's over. 
Fishborne chose to not renew his contract. Several reports say it's due to the fact that he wanted to do more films. Many say that it's also due to the fact that fans complained, hated the character, and the ratings went down. Face it, if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck, it's usually a duck.
He's gone! He's gone! Now, I can watch my former favorite show again. 
Let's just hope The Powers That Be are bright enough to beg and plead with William Petersen to return for many shows next season. It's pretty obvious that no one else will do.

Youtube

Hello there my friends. I'm ranting today about YouTube. I loved YouTube and I have around 30 videos posted there. That said, s many of mine have been disabled due to 'copyright infringement' and either have no sound or have been deleted. I have friends whose accounts have been deleted.

Now, I understand that artists and so on must make money for their songs, tv show/movie clips or whatever, but come on....these videos that fans like me make are harmless. We make no money from these videos, we do them for ourselves, our friends and fans of whatever show/movie/book that we like. I make CSI/GSR and Twilight Saga videos. I have never made money (darn it) from any of them. I love watching videos. They are sometimes better than the shows we are basing them on.

I've also discovered music artists I've never heard of because of these videos by fans. Linkin Park was totally unknown to me years ago until I saw a CSI video that used one of their songs. I am now a HUGE fan of theirs . That is merely an example. There are many more.

Because of the copyright thing that is messing up our videos, there video makers, like myself, who are having a hard time making videos. We worry that no matter what disclaimer we might add to it, our hard work will be deleted. So here is what I have to say:LEAVE OUR VIDEOS ALONE. LET US SHOW OUR LOVE FOR YOUR MUSIC/BOOK/MOVIE/TV SHOW AND HONOR IT. LET US BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN!

To check out my videos that still work, you can visit YouTube and look up blondecharmedone.

I'm in a funk

My former favorite show is CSI Las Vegas. I wish I could love it like I used to and it's making me feel all depressed. I miss wanting to see it on Thursday nights. I miss planning the meals around the viewing. I miss talking to my friends about it. I miss working on my GSR site about the show. UGH. Even though I miss it terribly, I can't gather up enough enthusiasm for the show to even turn it on at 8pm tonight. Why? Because William Petersen left, Laurence Fishborne came on, Jorja Fox came back (which was great, but then, if Grissom and Sara are married......??????) and the writers either checked out or are asleep. The show is tired. I'm sick of it and a bunch of my friends are feeling the same way.
I want to like the show again....but unless William Petersen comes back at least for a visit, it's not gonna happen.

This is why I love to rant.

This morning, I was greeted with yet another blip from the internet telling me once again that William Petersen just won't come back to CSI. Thanks.

Part of me thinks he (and the others) protest too much, but the other part of me says "it's over, get over it". What is a fan to do? Rant!
