Growing up 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. were sacred at my house; The Evening News. Always Channel 5, KSL- Eyewitness News. The "True" News. All action was halted and the news was watched by a certain parent with near tunnel vision.
As a result I am a news junky... I watch the news almost every night. I like to know what is going on in the world. However, I have grown weary with all the national drama... can't we just get a good old stabbing amongst gangsters in the hood? Blah, blah, blah...election, economy, election, oil.
Tonight I refused to turn on the news and decided to find something else to watch. Sadly I've just wasted a whole HOUR of which not even one minute will I ever get back. I embarassingly admit I just watched an entire episode of Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency in lieu of the news.
But I have validated a few truths... Models ARE the dumbest people on earth. Well I can't say all models, because I haven't met them all. I can only speak for the ones I've seen on TV. However if you are that stupid, why would you want to be on TV to show off how un-smart and shallow you truly are?
Second people like high fashion designer Merlin Castell are portrayed as people we are to admire and aspire to be like? Ummm....Sorry but he's a FREAK and the people that would actually show up in his clothing are just as dumb as the models that find it a privilege to wear his ridiculous clothing.
Dejectedly I have to admit it was less of a downer than the news... and now I have to watch the subsequent episodes to see what happens next...Sadly reality TV is sometimes better than REALITY....

Even more embarrassing? I have this on my DVR to record weekly. And I totally walk like those models in his show now. I have great hip bones.
We are also news junkies in my family. Hence, both Lu'isa and Mounu going into television. But, reality TV is so crazy! I can't watch it, I've never watched America's next top model. I just read the paper or the internet. Also, I was a political Sci major, so I get easily annoyed with all of it. But, I still stay glued. *sigh*
Oh man, I am not really sick of hearing about the election, I am am sick of hearing about the economy/bail out. Please just let it stop.
And I know well the guilt that follows having watched Janice Dickinson.
Oh Playa... Don't even pretend like this is the FIRST TIME you've ever watched JDMA. I know the truth.
Also, you can't blame being a news junkie on dad. I'm totally not a news junkie and I was raised with the same maddness. In fact... I believe that is what caused me to revolt against the news.
Though, I can blame my deep and abiding love for The Golden Girls on dad.
