Reality TV ???

AKA Trash TV

Yeah, we all watch it in some form or another. 

This afternoon I turned on the TV and the only thing on was reality TV. I got stuck on VH1 which seems to be the worse channel on Sundays for reality TV. 

I couldn't stop laughing about how stupid these shows have become. It is so ridiculous. Look at these titles:

(For the Love of Ray J, I Love Money, Tool Academy, Rock of Love Bus, Tough Love, Flavor of Love, Double Shot at Love... and so on and so on)

And of course there are the shows like "The City, The Hills (which I love), From G's to Gents" And also the original reality show which is still airing: The Real World

My question is... "do these people really think they look good?" "do they honestly think they look intelligent or attractive?" 

It cracks me up that people would actually apply to be on a shows like these, go to CA, and spend 6 weeks trying to fall in love with whatever person. Do they really think that doing that would be a good, wise, responsible choice for their future? 

People are STUPID, people are RIDICULOUS, people are MORONIC. 

But then again, I'm pretty stupid to be sitting here watching this crap. 

Geneva

I'm sure most everyone has heard about the fatal shootings in south Alabama. In Kinston, Samson, and Geneva. 

Well, Geneva is my hometown... 

Known for the Festival on the Rivers and the Old Oak Tree.

But now also known for a random shooting spree on March 10. 

I never imagined things like that could happen in my quiet, little hometown of 4,400. 

My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families of the victims and the communities as they work through this tragedy. 

Feelings about LOST

I've been thinking about Wednesday's episode of LOST for the past two days. I'm kinda unsure of my feelings at this point... something just feels a little bit off. I'm trying to think of how to explain, but it's hard. Let me give you an example to describe these feelings and thoughts in my head: 

Think about SUMMER CAMP. 

You go to camp for a week one summer and you have an amazing experience. 7 days of so much excitement and fun and self-discovery. You meet some of the coolest people on the face of the planet and your heart instantly connects with them. You had no idea camp could be so cool!!!! It breaks your heart to have to leave. You never imagined camp could be so fabulous. You leave camp and start planning for next year's summer camp experience. There is this expectation that you will be able to pick right back up where things left off. You spend all year thinking about next summer... of being able to see your friends again and having that same experience. 12 months later... IT's TIME!!! CAMP. You get all ready and excitement is coming from every pore in your body. Finally the day arrives and it's time to return. 

Here comes the hard part... you ride through the gates of the camp, step out of the car, let everything settle for a minute... and then you realize that it is NOT the same. Many things have changed over the year... some of your friends have not returned, the counselors are different, the old cabins have been torn down and replaced with new dormitory thingys. The great things of last summer are gone. And the disappointment sets in.... the crushing disappointment.

I don't know if you've had this experience before... if you've ever been to summer camp, then I hope you know what I'm trying to say here. 

This is how I feel about LOST right now. I feel like everything of the previous seasons is gone. Nothing is the same. The group has been separated for so long that now they are not fighting for the same things anymore. They are almost like strangers to each other. Awkward. It feels like a different show. 

I'm know I'm being all dramatic but I have a lot of time invested into this stupid show that has me wrapped around it's finger. Sigh. 

Stupid LOST. 

Ruth, it's your fault that I got involved. I blame it all on you. 

Snowy Snowerson

yes sir, yes sir

It snowed yesterday in the Ham and we had a glorious time. 

I woke up Sunday morning, jumped out of bed, ripped open the blinds, and my eyes sparkled at the reflection of the sunlight off the many inches of snow (actually it was only about 3 inches, but it felt like 3 feet). 

It was so crazy to see huge, gi-normous snowflakes falling from the sky and alighting on my face. As soon as it touched me it turned to water and made me extremely cold, but that's beside the point. Super, awesome fun. Here are some pictures of the wintery landscape that I experienced yesterday:

yeah! for the beautiful snow. (But I'm ready for the warmer weather)
