I'm A Reality Show Slut!!!

Can you believe it? Where does it end really? The difference between real life and television. I've always believed that some of the things we see on TV, even for reality shows, is purely drama made for television, but it's really entertaining to watch. I have to admit, I'm watching it pretty consistently (although maybe to a lesser extent with the no TV while the baby is awake rule) :).

It's funny when you really get into these shows how much you start picking sides. Take Jon & Kate Plus 8 for example. I don't watch the show anymore because everytime I do, I want to slap Kate. No, not really slap her, but she totally pisses me off the way she yells at Jon all the time and is totally above everyone else she comes in contact with on the show.

I just got done watching the Real World Reunion, and that transgender chick still drives me crazy. Yeah, some may claim it's because she's transgender, but that's not the case. I'm all for people making their own choices and totally support the gay, lesbian, transgender folks. The reason I don't like her comes from the way in which she conducts herself. She uses big words to make herself sound smarter around her housemates and better than everyone else in the house.

It goes totally the other way too ... Fabio on Top Chef was awesome this season and always made us laugh into the late evening. The Roloffs are a fun family to watch with Matt always coming up with crazy adventures and Amy just being the perfect mom. I think I'm going to do a top 10 reality show blog or a top 10 reality show personality blog sometime soon. I haven't done a top 10 in awhile and I think this falls perfectly in line. Watch out ;)

What's Up World???

Wow! How long has it been since my last post? It seems like forever and in many ways it has. So much has changed and that's probably the main reason why I haven't written anything in so long. Baby is here and healthy although we had a little scare a couple of weeks ago. It's amazing how much of my world is now tied into my little one and I think it's true what they say about guys becoming dads once the child is actually born. It seemed the day we got pregnant my wife was already a mom but I didn't feel any different until the baby was actually here. That moment was something I'll never forget. It was the most incredible ride and was just so cool.

Thankfully, since the last time I wrote our country has a new President. I was very interested in this election and followed it more than any other in my lifetime. It was a game changer as they say and hopefully our country can prosper again sometime soon. With everything going on it's a really scary time. It's my generations great depression. Although it's not quite at that level yet, the times aren't good. Growing up my generation was told to go to college, graduate and you will prosper but for many that's not the case and it's ashame.

ARod's positive steroid test was leaked to the public and he has come out and admitted it taking heat from reporters across the country. Everyone slams the guy but he's the only one that has thus far admitted to everything right away and come out with details and why, what, etc. Give the guy a little break and move on. There were 103 other players that weren't named and ARod was unfortunate to be the one that was in a test that was supposed to be confidential.

Anyways, enough of the ranting and stating the obvious stuff that happened between my last blogs. Hopefully there'll be plenty of new blogs in the following weeks with inappropriate content and an update on how my fantasy football finished this season. C ya soon
