@Robert – yes, you can learn from just about anything. It’s about keeping your eyes open.

@Michelle – I don’t have any kids, so I’m content to play with my friends’ children and go home to my clean house for now

I’m a not so closeted American Idol Fan. ok. And the Apprentice – sometimes. And The Osbornes. or. And Gene Simmons. Apart from that I HATE reality TV.
I don’t have too much time to watch, but I agree, it has little to do with real life. I learn the most from my 4 year old who has been the wisest teacher ever. Want to learn to stay in the moment? Have a pre-schooler live with you. That keeps you nimble, joyful and present.

I agree with many of your points Maria!
There’s got to be something good in everyone, it takes humility to look forward to something good in others, and learn from them.

The video is really interesting.
I can’t believe it, with only one junk food can cause such a fuss!
Lol!

Thx for sharing!

Good thoughts everyone! Thanks for stopping by.

@Corinne – I definitely need some junk food for my brain occasionally. The key, like with all junk food is moderation.

@Raymond – I’m even worse – I usually watch TV while being on the laptop! Hmm, could that explain my growing case of adult ADD…

@Sherri – that’s a great example of being thrown into change and having it turn out well. It sure would make a great series! Thanks for sharing.

@Cindy – I would have to guess that the mom you’re referring to was perfectly content w/ the way things were and no one else’s opinion mattered. I do enjoy some of the longer format shows as well. I find the Amazing Race is fascinating watch because the relationships between the teams undergo a lot of change over time.

@Karen – I agree that “reality” television isn’t very realistic. I guess it just doesn’t bother me

I’m afraid I really dislike Reality TV. I think it skews our perception of what ‘reality’ is. Because let’s face it, no one is really interested in reality and these shows are just examples of manipulation and good editing. That shot of the guy breaking down is a perfect example.

Having said that, I did enjoy Queer Eye when it first came out. And hey, it takes all kinds to make a world.
