Getting a grip on reality

I missed posting yesterday. I have this thing, I'm recording a CD oooohh! Nothing big, I just do it in my house with my fancy toys, any way I decided about a year ago I was tired of dreaming about what it would be like to make a CD and just started making them. I give them to family and friends, they are nice and tell me it's awesome. I just do guitar covers of songs I like, although I did take a leap of faith and actually sing on one on this one. Anyway to keep the fantasy in my head going I set deadlines, labor over the sounds and what guitars and effects I use, it gets me by without actually being a star. I'm about 3 weeks over due on this one and I still have 2 and a half songs to record. I am starting to realize why it has taken GnR (Guns n Roses for the less rock savvy) 15 years to complete their latest album, this one has been a pain and I'll just be glad to be through with it so I can move on to something else like creating a movie of Mr. B. All of this is not the point of this post though. I want to say Happy Mother's day a day late to all the moms of this world, you keep it turning. My wife loves reality TV, I loathe it for the most part the exception right now being Gene Simmons Family Jewels, this is classic. My wife likes the competition shows, Dancing With The (Semi) Stars, Big Brother (her personal favorite), Survivor. I for one am tired of reality shows, when CBS unveiled their newest "Americas Smartest Pet" I had to draw a line in the sand. Do we really care who has the smartest pet? Have we really become so dumbed down or lulled to sleep that there is a TV exec somewhere getting paid millions of dollars to say "I've got it! Lets do a version of American idol for pets!" I watch reruns of The Office for a TV fix or wrestling, at least it's pretend and we know it from the start. So if there are any TV execs reading this (or anyone for that matter) listen up, I don't care about your next model, dancer, cook, remodeling guru, singer, actor, super hero, inventor, dog, cat or imitator of an actual star! You already steal all of your ideas for real prime time TV from England! Get off your duff, think of something original, if you can't, call me or my brother or any number of my friends and we'll be happy to sell you our ideas but I'm warning you, when you come out with "Americas Most Loved Snell" reality show, I will find someway to get to California, scale your little ivory tower your living in and tear it down! whew! I feel better now.
