GOOD MORNING AMERICA!

August 10, 2009 by bb-pawprint

$0$0$0$0ZZZZ. ZZZZZZ. My phone vibrates at exactly 5:33 a.m. as I get ready to wake up to be part of the VIP audience for the Good MorningAmerica show. I was debating for a good ten seconds whether or not I should attend the show, but because I was already awake, I thought there was no turning back. $0$0It was early; in fact it was a bit too early to even head towards my bathroom. But I gathered enough “energy” to do so as I crept out of bed, while my whole household was sleeping away the minutes and dreaming in another dimensional world.$0$0Rushing to take the train, I grabbed a french vanilla cappuccino and a toasted cinnamon raison bagel with cream cheese to go. I thought it was so weird to be at the train station around 6 a.m. on a summer day–that never happens. EVER. But there’s always a first for everything, so I neither complained nor wasted my energy attempting to complain. $0$0As the hour handle starts to make its way to the 7 on a typical watch, I am finally on the set of the Good Morning America show and I realized why it’s actually called that. And it hit me that as I am setting foot on the studio, people are waking up to the show’s segments on T.V. in their comfy pajamas with a coffee in their hands. $0$0But I didn’t care because I was treated like a VIP guest, although the title is a bit more than what it seems. The tour lasted for 5 minutes maximum, which consisted of nothing but an in and out walk through two doors. However, I did enjoy the presence of Samantha, the audience coordinator, who somehow had a natural charm that enlightened the audience without even trying. $0$0What I took away from this experience was the fact that many people look forward to being part of the audience for a show like GMA and having to wake upearly does not stand as an obstacle to some people. I realized that some people love their jobs no matter how early they have to get up or no matter how structured their jobs are. $0$0The people on set seemed passionate and full of life. They seemed to take their jobs seriously and still find enjoyment within the early morning. It was pretty cool to walk out at 9 a.m. in the middle of Times Square and breathing in the fresh air that the morning brings because technically the morning does start early. Bright and early, earlier than most of us imagine, or want it to be. Just like the Good Morning America show.$0$0$0
