One Shot of Life, Two Shots of Reality

I was sitting here wondering how many blogs had I wrote in my head, before I decided to put it to paper, or in this case Laptop. I had wrote a blog about MTV, and why it has to be the worst channel in the world, yet it has the most influence on a narcissistic generation, who has contributed nothing, but feels entitled to everything. Or the blog about the what is reality TV? it's completely staged, but people can't get enough of it, watching others lives as your life goes by, the best reality TV is sports, its scripted but so many things come in to play, like fatigue, and the fact that the opposing team has a script to stop what you plan to do, interesting huh? I also wrote a blog on being a salesperson, and the level of disappointment thats involved; and know one has a clue; the lies clients tell, what it cost the salesperson, in emotion , time, and money, and the client could give a shit, because they lack the moral tread to understand. Or the blog, about a blog that I wanted to write privately, so know one knew it was me, just to tell the world the truth as I see it, I wanted to let people borrow my eyes for just a little while, but the guilt drove me crazy, it got all the way to the laptop, but was deleted. Or the blog about the conversation I had with a friend, about HD TV and the affect it has on his "couch potatoeness", he mentioned that it was something he had to "get over", the additional 20lbs the TV had caused, I totally related with him. Or the blog about me loving to watch "man vs. wild" and my wife spoiling it for me, when she said "what does the camera people eat?" It was a wrap after that, haven't watched it since. I almost forgot about the blog about "the Jones's"that wonderful family that everyone tries to keep up with, and I remember wondering if we had fell victim to the temptation to live up to the unreal. Also the blog about the car business, how I have such a love/hate relationship with it, the money is great, just can't be at work all the time, I wasn't ready to hang my hat there for the rest of my life. And finally the blog about real estate and how it is such a tough business, it's like playing in the majors of any sport, the work is no joke, that "1 percent" can do it, the effort has to be relentless, I have witnessed many folk fall off; it ain't all glorious, the classes, all the dues you pay; the picture you see from the outside seems so easy, I too was guilty thinking I could just get my license and the dollars would just start rolling in. Wrong!!
