Normally I'm screaming at Mary J. Blige to GTFOMTV!
Not today. I ran across this little gem on You Tube.
I LOVE tall-ass David Gregory!

I'm Back
Reality TV is back and so am I.
Let me start with Survivor: Race Wars.
With all of the hoopla over Mark Burnett's latest ratings stunt, I figured I would tune in to Survivor. How could I miss an opportunity to cheer on my own kind? So. Congratulations Mr. Burnett, you got me to tune in to the season premier. Here’s the thing:
I'm a reality TV junkie who hates Survivor, I don't care how many blacks you throw off the slave ship; I still don't like the show.
I've been watching for 30 minutes and I've already seen the black people take a break, the white people act like sluts, and the Asians lay healing hands on each other.
...And the contestants had hopes that this show would dispel some stereotypes.
How naive.
Moving on to Dancing with the Stars
First-
Let's hear a big “Peace Out Bow Tie Bitch” to Tucker. Although his performance was truly funny, I can't support someone that asinine in his day job. If you missed it, see below, pay close attention to Tucker's face.
Second-
Joey Lawrence was kind of hot in a grungy way, so different from his Blossom persona.
Finally-
Since Survivor Race Wars is not working out for me, I think I will play Dancing with the Stars: Race Wars.
For the Black Team:
Emmitt Smith-his ease on the dance floor, cool calm, and lucky pairing with Cheryl Burke make him a great contender. He single-handedly made viewers forget about Master P (aka "Club, Club, shuffle step, Club”) and Jerry Rice (charming but bad).
Vivica A. Fox (Yes Jomal, I know you love her name)-
Vivica was poised and elegant as any black lady over 40 should be on television (take note Mary J you have 3 years to figure it out), and she also demonstrated the requisite amount of rhythm for the race to support her in this competition.
Monique Coleman-
I had such high hopes for her because she was in High School Musical. Sadly she lacked star quality. I guess I can throw her some race votes until the competition gets really stiff. Given the choice between her and Mario Lopez, I'd have to vote for the dimples, sorry.
For the Hispanic Team:
Mario Lopez seems to be the only contender, although it is entirely possible that I've overlooked someone who identifies as Hispanic. Either way, Mario's performance was very strong and he will take Team Hispanic to the top 3. (I hope)
The White Team:
Tucker- already gone. Thank heavens.
Jerry- Too cute. Jerry is adorable in a way the George HAMilton could never be. I don't know how long Jerry will be around, but he can't dance so who cares.
As for the rest of the actor/beauty queen Caucasian pack it will be interesting to see who emerges as their strong dancer. Willa perhaps?
I love Michael Knight. Carry on.
On a lighter note-
For your viewing enjoyment, the ultimate reality show. The local news:

Another American Idol
Taylor Hicks is the American Idol.
I will list my thoughts.
1. I'm glad Taylor beat Katherine. She dissapointed me with inconsistent performances throughout the season, and even better, Simon has no idea how to market Taylor.
2. Lisa Tucker is a star. I still can't figure out where she went wrong.
3. Mandisa can sing.
4. Prince is THE American Idol. I wonder if he has the same makeup artist as Little Richard...
5. Seeing the 6 males made me bitter about Gideon all over again. ESPECIALLY when Kevin (Chicken Little) sang.
6. Mary J? Please GTFOMTV. Why is her ghetto ass everywhere?
7. Regardless of what the "Claymates" say, Rueben is the Season 2 American Idol. Seeing Clay with his Beetles haircut, reassured me that America got it right in 2o03.
8. Puck 'n Pickler? Do you think it's a coincidence that Wolfgang's last name rhymes with Kelly's means of advancement.
9. Katherine's last dress was beautiful.
10. Taylor's song sucks. It sucked last night. Why the hell did they make him sing it again tonight? Didn't they watch the tape of Tuesday night? At least Taylor was smart enough to thank the whole entire world instead of singing the monstrosity.
Another season down. I can't wait for Thursday and the launch of "So You Think You Can Dance" Season 2.
AI Freak--Out!

Ten things I learned without a computer
1. A new hard drive is nice the first time around, the second time it's a pain in the ass.
2. There's enough reality television programming to keep me occupied for hours.
3. Paris Bennett please stand still. I'm tired of seeing you bop around my television and we haven't even reached the second week of American Idol voting. Please don't make me hate you.
4. This week the women sounded pretty bad.
5. The men were worse.
6. Singing a whole song in falsetto on live TV is NEVER a good idea.
7. Watching AI with a recording engineer is like dining at the Olive Garden with a chef. I'm going to let out a big "Shut The Hell Up!" on the blog, because I really enjoy his company...and when I said it to his face he ignored me.
8. This week Jerry Rice out danced Stacy Keibler. Either way, Drew Lachey deserved the win.
9. Even though I enjoyed Dancing with the Stars, did we really need a two hour finale? Couldn't we watch Drew win for an hour and then see Desperate Housewives?
10. Mary J. Blige, how do you keep getting invitations to classy events? GTFOMTV!
My 29th Birthday was also this week and I can count the birthday wishes on one hand. What a non-occasion. Well, except for that woman who had a heart attack in the theater while I was calling the show...and the 3 people who vomitted throughout the day. Actually, I'm not bitter at all. I made so much progress on the "project" I've been completely energized. Now the countdown to 30 begins. Here's what I hope to have accomplished by February of 2007.
1. Lose 30 pounds.
2. Purchase a home.
3. Complete my staged reading and have the full production underway.
4. Be a Columbia Grad. How's the thesis reading coming Steven?
5. Have local people to celebrate the big Three-Oh with.
We'll see how these things go. I've been making progress with items 3, 4, and 5 the past few weeks and it would be a dream if the 2nd 30lbs would come off as easily as the first 30.
Question of the day:
Do vocal acrobatics make up for poor intonation?
