Arts & Entertainment = Happiness

Every time I read the newspaper I, like everyone else, critique the stories that they write about. I sit there and think of all these different things they could be writing about but don’t. With so much negativity in the news it would be nice for once to read about something positive. There is more than one side of town in this city and each side has something different to offer. If had to chose a story to write about in my neighborhood I would write about the many different programs available to our children. With after school programs being almost non-existent many non profit organizations have popped up all over the city. Information such as how these organizations are changing the lives of children should be out there for parents to read. Aside from that there are many functions that go on around town that a lot of people don’t know about. Things like theater productions at local community centers, local bands playing at local clubs, and poetry slams ECT… Sure these things are in the paper but it’s not as publicized as an armed robbery. I would much rather be reading about a new show at the majestic, or Maya Angelou coming to a local university to speak of her work as opposed to another robbery or shoot out. If I had to choose what I would write about in my lifetime it would be about any form of arts or entertainment. Writing about such things that are not mainstream entertainment would bring more diversity and cultural into homes. Things such as music, books, poets, movies, shows and many more like that bring some type of happiness to peoples lives, and I would like to be apart of that.
