So my brother calls me last night to wish me a “happy f—ing New Year’s” in an Irish accent.  Man, he cracks me up, only one problem.  Midnight his time is 3 in the morning my time.  Thanks bro.  Happy f—ing New Year’s to you to.  :)  Anyway, so as previously stated in another post, I don’t really dig new year’s…so I’m going to go ahead and move on to other topics.

Maybe…

Yeah here’s a rant/thought…what is it with people willing to degrade themselves on national television so they can have their fifteen minutes of fame.  Like that video that came out a few months back where some girl (?) is like crying and telling everyone to “Leave Britney (Spears) alone!”  And not only that, s/he had the stones to post it on youtube.  WTF!!  I just don’t understand that sort of need for attention I guess.  And all the reality shows that have come out, it makes me sick.  Anymore it’s all about who can be the meanest, sneakiest, most underhanded, devious person possible.  Ugh!  It really does say something about our society, not only that we’re willing to be humiliated on national television, but that we’re willing to watch and support it…and I’m not sure I’m comfortable with what it’s saying.  Hey, I know, I’m guilty of it too…but not on a regular basis.  In fact the only reality show that I really “keep tabs” on (so to speak) is Beauty and the Geek.  And that’s because it seems (or at least it has seemed in past seasons) to really be more about the people and the relationships than the people.  And it doesn’t really seem to support the sort of underhanded, backstabbers that I see a lot of other shows supporting.

Ok enough justifying my reality television choice.  In the end it’s all the same, it’s all about people willing to be humiliated and willing to watch others get humiliated on national television.  So yeah, thus endeth the rant.

And as my brother said (at 3 in the morning) “Happy f—ing New Year’s.”
