Some people that know me, KNOW that I'm not one who likes to watch soap operas or stories like such. I am not a very patient or dedicated viewer in that respect. Television has been a part of our lives since a very young age. We were the pioneers of the information age and the television was and IS a very prominent part of our media. When I was a young child, I watched the animated cartoon adventures of mickey mouse and the other pioneers of Disney. They taught us many things from behind that CRT tube.
However, when I do kick back now to watch some television, I try and find some reality TV shows. I know that some of them might be rigged and what not but at the end of the day, they entertain me enough to be able to walk away with a laugh or a smile. I also like to watch competition shows or quiz shows like I used to watch Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire when they were aired on. Today, the reality TV shows have changed with time and now some of my new favorites are Cash Cab, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, Wipeout and Minute To Win It!
Perhaps these shows trigger somethings in my unconscious where I think and wonder, how would I deal with situations or circumstances such as these? How would I celebrate if I won that amount of money? What would I do with that money and wealth and opportunities? When I think about it.. it feels like life is short and if I cant experience all of these 'what if's, I can at least pursue that ONE thing that I love and make the most of what I have.. today!
We'll be back tomorrow, same time, same channel, with your host ;D
