'America's Toughest Jobs'

I hoped that when the Olympics ended, so would my lazy days of laying on the couch for three hours straight in the evening. It's not my style to veg. americas-toughest-jobs-300x225.jpg

But after dinner and a few chores last night, I found myself back on the couch watching "America's Toughest Jobs."

What is wrong with me? What force is sucking me into silly prime time TV?

It's just another reality show, nothing special. I hope to avoid the lure next week. I don't really want to see another skinny Wall Street executive whine and act like a baby only to stay on the show.

Amy, the woman I speak of, was very frail. The job was on an Alaskan fishing boat. She said she'd die if she participated in the ritual to the crab gods; biting of the head of a fish. She couldn't even hoist a 40-pound block of frozen herring and she kept sitting on the crab cage even after they told her a few times to stop. Yet, it was another women who spent a large part of her time puking and then kept saying "I can't" that got the boot.

I need to stay away from the drama of TV. I should read another book.

The T.V. is full of so called Reality shows. These folks should try living my life or even your life and get a REAL taste of what reality is all about.....
