‘One Day We’ll All Be Found’

One of my absolute favorite sitcoms this season has been Ghosts on CBS! If you haven’t tuned in yet, you are seriously missing out. It is incredibly funny, so cleverly written, and just wonderfully cast with a very talented and gifted group of performers that I love and respect so much and am honored to have in my life. I’ve had a chance to cover the show at PopCulture.com since its premiere last October and have been fortunate to chat with the showrunners and every cast member about their quirky characters and storylines every week. It might seem strange to say — call it fate or luck, but this beautiful, sweet and magical show landed in my lap at the most opportune time in my life when I had just lost one of my best friends to suicide and to have this show kind of fill in the gaps, and then chat with these wonderful, beautiful kind people about it has been a godsend and one that has left me in a new phase of life. One where I am the happiest I’ve ever been, while also filled with love and friendship.

With the series brilliantly encapsulating a sincerity with immense heart, reminiscent of a familiar hug, it brought to life a subject matter we rarely speak of and one I am grateful for. With the arts like film and TV being accurate representations of how we interpret life, Ghosts offers room to understanding grief in this affable, humorous containment of sorts. One that encourages healing with stories that are charming and permit reflection of that pain because it is understood and appreciated in terms of grief’s take on loss and rebuilding. Most of all and through conversations with the cast, it has opened up parts of my heart I haven’t recognized in a while and I am so grateful for it. Through conversations with these genuine spirits and the show’s sharp sense of humor, this series has shown me how valuable it is to be the things you loved most about those who are gone and I think that is the greatest testament to the ones we love. (For more on these thoughts and how the show brought to life a controversial theme, please read this.)

Twitter’s “Follow Friday” – ‘Mo with Coco & My Paranormal

Whether you’re on Twitter or not, you’re probably familiar with the terms “hashtag” and “Follow Friday” now. It’s become a weekly international phenomenon that most Twitter users partake in every Friday and with the micro-blogging site growing exponentially since it was introduced to the internet over two years ago, it’s been the most talked about creation in recent times. Like blogs, Twitter helps connect people on a personal level with status updates and with trending topics, which allow users to recognize topics being discussed in real time.

This Friday, I’ve decided to showcase individuals and groups that I feel are enterprising in their own right and have a certain readiness to undertake new projects with an ableness and initiative that is most admirable. The three Twitter accounts mentioned all have a common ground. They are not just daring in their profession but in an aspect, they engage you in their own respective rights: Conan O’Brien entertains you through life, making you escape from the harshness of reality; Chris Cuomo brings you the facts of the day-to-day realities we all face and the fellas behind My Paranormal, make you question the stuff in between. I do believe these three are worthy of following and taking notice of and here’s why I think that…
