singing emotions

good instrumental song by yasunori mitsuda. soothing, the way i like it.

speaking of emotions, apparently people do enjoy emotions. i'm saying this in terms of the number of reality tv shows that keeps increasing. like paradise hotel, last comic standing, america's top model, or who wants to marry my dad or something gross like that. it doesn't take a polygraph test to tell that the only reason ten good looking middle-aged women trying to win the love of a bald middle-aged man is money. that, or a chance to be on tv. think about it. when you see them on tv, i bet the hey-these-old-ladies-aren't-bad thought crosses your mind. i agree, they're not bad for people their age. i bet sam would want to nail all of them since they're all above thirty. (does anyone know the opposite of a pedophile?) what makes me wonder is that if they're not so bad looking, why do they have to go on a cutthroat tv show just to win a bald guy? sorry, but i can't get rid of "money" from my head; it just comes in almost naturally. aside from the gross who-wants-to-marry-my-dad, reality tv shows these days have become even more popular. correct me if i'm wrong, but i think survivor started the trend. survivor was okay, but now it's getting toward the bunch-of-people-fighting-over-one-person-of-the-opposite-sex type of show. and for some reason, the majority of america enjoys it. don't argue with me on that; if they don't enjoy it, reality tv shows will be long gone by now.

i don't know if i'm right about this, but i'm beginning to think it's human nature to enjoy other people get caught up in their emotions and start dissing each other. to think that it's human nature for people to judge other people and condescending them, especially if they're competing over something. that's messed up, yo. where's the love? i hardly (not never) see anyone in a reality tv show who goes "yeah, so-and-so is really nice, so-and-so deserves to win." what i hear is usually "so-and-so has no idea what he/she's doing. so-and-so is an idiot. so-and-so should just die." is it just me, or these reality tv shows are promoting hate and resentment? they're like saying, hey, this is the real world, it's okay to talk shit about people if it's to your advantage. is the real world really like that? even if it is, is it then justified to act like that? no wonder mother teresa's prayer for world peace has never been answered. has everyone forgotten how to be nice and friendly to their neighbors? to the people they don't know? don't people realize that this world is a much better place if they treat each other well? have they forgotten barney? have they forgotten mr. rogers?

admit it. those of you who have seen mr. rogers neighborhood know how great of a show it was. that's why it didn't surprise me when a lot of people mourned mr. roger's death.

that being said, i tend to avoid reality tv shows, until i came across a great one today.

them.

yes, them.

totally hidden extreme magic.

i think the acronym sounds lame, but it was perfect since they could go around saying "meh, i'm just one of them." when people ask them how they did what they did. now that's a great reality show. there's actually talent involved, not just emotions. the ones who stood out the most was rico and lisa de la vega. rico was by far the coolest dude, especially when he walked through the window. those people got PUNK'D so bad, haha. and lisa was hot. simply hot *drools*. i wish i was inside the dressing room when she changed into five different clothes without spending more than THIRTY SECONDS inside the dressing room. i miss david copperfield now. haven't seen him for a while, wonder how he's doing.

here's some video of them, in case you missed the show today. these are .mov files, so you would need quicktime to play it.

was bored tonight, and did not feel like playing knights of the old republic. i've got a headache, i think it's from going over 125mph and drifting too much today in nfs underground. the thrustmaster nascar prodigital 2 is great, i feel like i'm actually sitting in a rice rocket going 125mph. only this one i don't have to worry about crashing the car (which i often do).

read chris' comment again, and apparently i've mistaken "flees" for "flies" so i did another drawing, but since i can't draw fleas, i think dots would be a good enough representation for fleas. after all, i am a physicist, and if it makes life simpler, a cow is a sphere, rougly estimated. very, very roughly. oh, and chris linked me. haha. thanks, yo.



hope that's good enough. i don't like this drawing; the outline for the head is too thick while the arms are way too thin. i hate disproportion. =/

by the way, i got myself a gmail account. e57124575@gmail.com. go send me some crap. i've got a gig of storage.
