Lazy Sunday Night

I can see why Sunday's are seen as spiritual in Christianity. I get the one day of rest you have built into every religion. It's nice when you can just kick you legs up and relax and contemplate the week. That one day of rest does wonders for the soul, just don't let your mind wander too much when you're contemplating. Like while watching Jersey Shore on MTV I imagined seeing the cast in a bowling alley or someplace and everyone hyping them and getting all excited while I could care less. Then someone calls me out on not being star struck and they're like "this is the cast of Jersey Shore! What the fuck have you done with your life?"

Ouch, right?

How is it a bunch knuckleheads can make so much money and develop a "career", however short lived it is. While I can't seem to achieve my desired status as a published author these catch phrases have found a way to get paid as assholes. I'm not mad at them, I'd have jumped all over that situation. Damnit, even talking like them now. I also can't talk, yeah I got a college degree, but what else have I done? Written a book that hasn't been published? Lived in China? That's kind of a cool but all I really got was some cheap clothing and pretty pictures. So far I'm being outdone by trash tv. I need to get a celebrity pregnant.

So here we are, Sunday night, and it's dominated by all the trash and reality shows one could want. There's a show about wedding cakes, wedding cakes! That means that the market for watching cake shows was so great that they needed a sub category. I'd rag on it more except I love cake and they do some crazy shit with that frosting. And somehow while writing this I've gotten sucked into my own Jersey Shore marathon. Is it that we all wished we lived other lives and so we watch other people live while we wait? Or is it that it is a fatal flaw of humanity that we believe the grass is greener on the other side? Maybe we just like our bloodsports, i.e. the self destructive behavior of the idiots on our favorite reality tv shows. It may be making me dumber, but I think I'm gonna finish this marathon like a champ before it becomes a situation over here. Damn I sound like a douche.
