Usually I don't make journal entries public. In fact I've never made a public journal entry except for my first one I posted. But I'm changing that today. The more people it hits the more it will make an impact.

Considering I am extremely tired and I can't think right now I'm going to copy and paste this from my original post in my Web-Site's blog.

BLOG POST

Ok I understand I haven’t updated in a very long time with any art and I do intend to change that.

And I’ll give you a better update on that later, but right now it can’t be about me and my art. I have to try to help my favorite t.v. show.

It has been announced that Guiding Light, the 72 year old Soap that originally was a radio show is being canceled.

I can’t and WON’T idly stand here and let this happen. Not without voicing my opinion and not without a fight for sure.

I’ve grew up with Guiding Light, I’ve watched it with my grandmother and my mother my whole life.

Its a part of my family and a part of who I am. I have over 126 tapes of Guiding Light and as long as its on the air I will always record it. I’ve spent hundreds of dollars every week on tapes.

But I do it because I love the show and I love to support it and I love to watch it. It really has a family oriented feel to it and it always has. I can feel bad or down about something thats happened to me and I’ll set and watch Guiding Light and see the great acting and the great story telling and the emotions and love thats centered around the characters and it makes me feel like I’m a part of it. Like I’m loved and it totally turns my day around.

Some of my favorite actresses is on there. One of which is Crystal Chappell. I can’t explain her acting capability its hard to put into words. The way she can make you feel every emotion and word she’s saying. The way she can look at you with those eyes, as if she’s looking through you and she can do the same thing with her voice. She can say more with her emotions and eyes than most can say with words.

And here lately her co-star Jessica Leccia has grabbed a lot of people aswell. They have total chemistry on television and they feed off of each other and both of their acting is brilliant they both make you feel things.

And just when Guiding Light is getting really good press and support because of the Otalia storyline (and its not just the Otalia storyline I enjoy. I enjoy watching Dinah, and Dorris and everyone else as well.) they decide to take it off of the air and give up on it?

To me that makes no sense whatsoever. And it has left a lot in a state of shock.

And I promise you I’m not the only one that feels that way.

Some of you may think its silly to get emotional or upset about a t.v. show. But I say you’re wrong. I am a part of the Big Purple Dreams forum and its brought a lot of people together and touched a lot of people’s lives.

I’ve witnessed it. I’ve read the experiences and I’ve heard the stories of how its healed a lot of people. And I see how much they support it and it breaks my heart that, that is getting ripped away from us. We all feel like we’ve lost a loved one in some way.

I’ve grown close to a few of those people on that forum and love them we all talk and help each other heal and support each other. And the thing that brought us together is getting taken away from us.

So what do I need you to do you ask? WRITE WRITE WRITE! Send in e-mails and snail mail. I’ve been told snail mail is the most effective method.

Whoever reads this blog, if you come across it and you enjoy Guiding Light join the FIGHT to save it! Don’t just set and take it and give up! Please remain hopeful and voice your opinion!

Here is a few tips that Mel posted on BPD for people who are going to write in:

*Make sure that you put your age in your letter. They want the 18-49 demo BADLY!! The MAJORITY of us ARE THAT DEMO!

*Make sure you tell them everything that you had yesterday. Some of you can scrape your recent emails/letters and rework them. You guys are so incredibly thoughtful and intelligent.

*Make sure that you encourage them by saying that you’ll support the advertisers for this show by buying their products or however you would like to phrase it.

I found some stamps on dA I liked and thought I'd post 'em. I didn't make these and don't claim to. This is just for sharing. :D
