That’s Entertainment??



When I think of entertainment the first thing that comes to mind is MOVIES!! Then, of course, live bands/singers or comedians. This is what the basis of entertainment is all about. The things that allow us to excite our senses. We get to send a few fleeting drops of adrenaline into our system for a momentary "burst" of laughter, fear, anger, sadness, etc. So what's brand new about entertainment?

Today, there are ways to be entertained without the presence of another person. The internet and social networks assist in this. There are also forums and message boards that have a particular topic or focus. At my company (Copious Entertainment Companies, Inc.) we have decided that the things that make us laugh, cry, scream, and shiver are deliverable through such a variety of mediums that there is no point in trying to separate them. In fact, keeping our senses fulfilled really means allowing any natural flow of energy inward and outward.

If you have ever taken an exercise class with an instructor who motivated you to burn calories, sweat hard and push past your limits then that class was a form of entertainment. Not in the traditional sense but from the standpoint of being able to excite your senses and allow that excited energy to flow away from the point of origin. In that same way, preparing good nutritious foods can be entertaining to you and those who will eat the food you prepare. If you need an example of this then just take a look at the leading cooking show and you will understand what I am saying.

Relaxation is even entertaining. When you relax, you set your muscles at ease and allow your mind to wander until you either fall asleep or enter the deep dreamlike state we call meditation. Isn't this entertaining? On a very "calming" level, it is entertainment at it's very best.
