On the Road Again...

Yes I have again found myself in the passenger seat on the wonderful roads of Missouri. It is 11pm as Ad and I venture home to Wash MO after watching Conan’s first night on the Tonight Show.  Conan makes me chuckle and I will probably watch him if I am up but I am still a Jay fan.  However, to be honest I probably won’t watch Jay at his new time.  Hopefully I will have other things to do.

I did block out time to watch The Bachelorette tonight with Charlotte, a guy in my medical school class’s wife.  They just got married about 2 wks ago and I am really excited that they live down the street from me.  It was just a 5 minute walk and I was there.  I can’t explain my attachment to the show but I get sucked in.  It is like when the movie A Few Good Men or The Fugitive is on TBS, you find yourself watching it while the DVD is next to you on the self and you have seen it 20+ times.

True love via a reality TV show is a concept I don’t think works for most people.  Occasionally there is a lucky couple who fall in love and end up happily ever after.  That is due to luck more than anything else.  The reality shows I guess give the opportunity to meet people somewhat like a bar, it is just makes me wonder what type of people you are recruiting for the shows.  How do you know they are there for the right reasons, do you really have enough time to get to know them, do they like you or is it the helicopter ride over Hawaii and the dinner on the beach that makes the night so special?  I’m a skeptic.
