I'm not real big on T.V.  That's not to say I don't watch it.  I just don't watch a lot.  House, Law & Order, baseball, football, things where people hurt themselves doing dumb things.  My tastes are pretty simple.

In the last couple of weeks I found some shows that were the proverbial "train wrecks."  Not new shows just things I'd had never heard of or seen.

The first one was Parental Control.  This is a show on MTV that I think should carry more insurance than Jerry Springer.  The parents of a "child" set their "child" up with someone they think would be better than the person their "child" is dating already.  I can definitely see the current significant other getting all upset and stuff with the date.  It was crazy 'cause the current boyfriends (both episodes I saw were daughters set up with new guys) were watching the date while sitting together.  From what I saw both of the current boyfriends were complete assholes.

The second show was called The Pick Up Artist.  The basic premise is this guy named Mystery (who used to be a geek) is this amazing pick up guy.  World renowned even.  Mystery takes a handful of what I can only call losers and proceeds to teach them the ins and outs of picking up chicks.  I think what really struck me was as I looked at these guys I not only pitied them, but I realized that that was me 20 years ago.  Shit...who am I kidding?  That would be me now.  Luckily I don't have to worry about all that.  That reminds me...I have an anniversary coming up next week.

Anyway.  Just had to get something out there so the 5 of you that read this know I'm still alive.
