I have returned, after a short absence from the interweb and I have returned with an ax that I must grind (your so surprised aren't you?) I was flipping channels last night much to my dissolution there was nothing on that I wanted to watch. This is not uncommon, the only shows that I follow are Top Chef and the NBC Thursday night lineup. I also like Dr.Who and River Monsters but neither of those are broadcasting new episodes right now...
So I'm flipping channels and I see "The Bachelor" is coming on, I had no idea that show still existed. Not being predisposed to reality TV in general (expect Top Chef) it's an automatic response to not like that show, but the Bachelor/Bachelorette stirs up a sort of hate in my heart that is unparalleled by my irrational hate for most other things. It's really the most pointless crap ever (at least that I have seen, I've never seen Jersey Shore but thats supposed to be crap too) but seriously why does this show exist?
I looked up a few of these guys, just to confirm my suspicion. Are they all rich? Uh-Huh. Are the good looking? Yep...well I guess that depends on your standards. They are all good enough looking to l least be network weathermen, so were not talking about a pack of trolls here.
Hmmm let's see.... if your good looking and have money do you have problem getting a date? NO. I have heard the excuses, "they are trying to avoid gold diggers" who do you think is going to be on the show, inexplicably attractive former nuns? "They are looking for true love after having bad relationships" So you go on a television show...with women competing to be with you...when they don't really know you. If this is the way you seek love, your better off finding a geisha.
Listen, I'm not a great looking guy, I'm not a troll but lets face it they wouldn't let me be a production assistant on most of these shows. Also I have no money. I also have the self esteem of one of those squirrels that stares just a little to long at an on coming care before dashing out of the way. Despite these things going against me, I still managed to marry a lady who is better looking than the women on that show. Also, her personality is infinitely better than the unfortunate lady's on that show.
If you love the Bachelor, I am sorry. Both for offending you and that you like the show.
and I'm sorry for offending you again...but not very.
To change to a less vitriolic topic it's been cold. Really cold. If you know any brass monkeys they probably have an unfortunate story to tell you, it's that cold.
I don't like the cold. I mean not at all, to the extent that when I heard about global warming it took me a couple of years before I realized why it was a bad thing. The delightful marshmallow like powder that I last spoke of soon turned into an ice covered death trap that is in piles in our local Kroger parking lot.
Yesterday was a delightful mid 50's reprieve which was quickly dashed by rain last night. Which has led me to ask all of you, if you know of any career opportunities an a warmer climate please tell me. I will seriously consider anything that isn't likely to involve illegal activity.
In much cuter news Harper and I were watching "Aristocats" couple of days ago and eating chips. I had a renegade fragment attempt to stick in my throat and coughed fairly violently for a minute or two. After it was all over HK leans over to me and says, "dada you ok? chew chew chew."
If you don't find that adorable, your probably the Grinch and need heart enlargement procedure.
