Ok I won't lie, I've become a reality junkie. I'm sitting here wasting my life away on Making the Band 4....and I hate that I love it. I hate it! Its great television! But its just awful. These people are so easy to watch. But I hate it. I really love to hate it.
In the must-see movie Great Debaters, actor Forest Whitaker delivers one of the most memorable lines of the movie. He says "we do what we have to do, so that later, we can do what we want to do." And all day long, I was focused. I was doin what I had to do - study hard, so that now, I can do what Iwant to do - watch the Season Premiere of Flavor of Love 3.
I'm a snob about lots of things. I need to get my nose out of the air when it comes to, well, just about everything. But when it comes to tv shows, I will watch just about ANYTHING. So my blanket endorsement is in no way a reflection of the quality of television out there. But i get overwhelmed by outrageous stuff like Flavor of Love, The Gauntlet, Making the Band. It's sad because I've worked so hard to become well-educated. And I just know, from the bottom of my heart, that this will be my downfall. I can feel it sucking the knowledge and intellect right out of me...Flavor Flav just said "I've had three strikes already with love...one more and I'm out." 
See what I'm talking about?
Well at least I can switch between this Thomas J. Foolery and Michelle Obama on Larry King Live, in an attempt to preserve those last few brain cells.
Why can't they just bring back the West Wing?
