You lose, celebrities win

It is well known that celebrities live a better life than we do. They are our others. They exist only to make us feel inadequate, normal and boring. How did that a man who read a script in front of a camera end up with its own runway and a Boeing 707 to spend on it? We are obviously talking about John Travolta, who has one hand clears a new meaning of "success", which now apparently is defined by how many aircraft you have. 

Of course stupidty does not stop there. It took him seven years to build 20 million U.S. dollars, but Will Smith did manage to build his dream home. He later remarked that he ended up with dreams he wanted seven years ago and that his children were now old enough to have their own home, a luxury, he obliged them with. Stupidity does not even cover half of it. 

Down here on planet Earth, you might be forgiven for yearning for the more humble things in life. Like the television bracket you must tilt your TV in the right way so you can see the neighbors in bed. Instead of wondering which Boeing model you should buy next you might be led to think about the question I will have a biased television bracket or one that is flat against the wall? Once you've encountered enough money to buy a TV bracket next step is to get a TV ... LCD TVs are very popular, so if you plan to buy one of these, do you install approriate LCD TV Bracket. But first perhaps fix holes in your wall that is letting through the draft that is chilling your bones in the morning? 

If you are Donald Trump, you can pay someone to do it all for you ... His Florida beach front mansion was valued at a cool 125 million U.S. dollars in 2006 before the housing meltdown. With the little things in life taken care of, what is left to the bigger things? If you do not get the chance to think about how you will make your TV to your wall, what do you wonder about? How to mine more money from the ground maybe?
