reality television

I am a true fan of reality television. Most of my days are spent trying to figure out how to make life's daily tasks a little easier. This has been infamously named "bearisms." My old boss rich came up with that, b/c I, the genuis that I am, am always looking for an easier way to do things. While looking at easier ways to do things, I like to reflect back on the days when technology wasn't at such a convenience. I talk to my grandfather a lot about his childhood. How things were before phones, a/c, hot water. Before refrigerators they used to use salt to keep meat good. I think that all this is so cool b/c we have found easier ways of doing things with the help of technology. I would like to live in a time where we didn't know about technology to see what life would be like. This brings me to my topic for today. Reality television.......Reality t.v. brings you in contact with people you wouldn't have any contact otherwise. The Bachelor, Newport Harbor, Laguna Beach, Real World are all some of my favorites. We come in contact with these people through the medium of the t.v. I have learned so much about myself through these shows by seeing and learning from other people. I would never have any contact with people from Laguna Beach, California had it not been for MTV. Seeing those people's lives, it makes you realize that I know no one in Birmingham, AL who lives like them. It is almost a completely different culture. I think it is cool to be able to watch and learn as much as you can, whenever you can.

I was just accepted to Auburn University. I'm excited about the next couple of years in my life. It's crazy how I ended up in Auburn. I love the city, but I'll never say War Eagle. ROLL TIDE!!
