Tonight's Episode: "Those Summer Nights"

Summer is fast approaching. For me, Summer is a lot like Winter. I stay in the house, and don't want to go outside because I'm not impressed by the temperature. However, a downfall to Summer compared to Winter is the lack of quality TV programming. Occasionally, there were Summers where I was pleased with the programming....but this Summer looks pretty bleak. I'll get to watch Big Brother (one of my biggest obsessions) but that's only on three days a week. What the hell am I supposed to do the other four days?! And the other 23 hours that Big Brother isn't on? Last year they had that one show on ABC...I think it was called True Beauty. I loved that show, because it was so horrible. At the end of every episode when Carson Kressley would tell someone that they aren't the "true beauty" the lights would dim, dramatic music would play, AND THEY WOULD PREPARE FOR THE HUGE REVEAL OF...Vanessa Minnillo. She was there to tell the contestants that they weren't being judged by what's on the outside, because it's what's on the inside that matters. None of the contestants ever gave a shit. She always looked slightly disappointed. I loved it. Sometimes I would fast forward through the whole show just for that part.

Then the year before that NBC had "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!" where such stars as Lou Diamond Phillips, and Sanjaya (of American Idol fame), were stranded on an island, and forced to compete in really disgusting challenges. That show mostly sucked...a lot. I still really enjoyed watching it though. I think it might have been because of how much I hate Spencer Pratt. I never even watched "The Hills" or anything, but for a while there it was impossible to avoid seeing his face everywhere I looked. Yep...I'm a freak. I like getting pissed off at people that are on the TV. I can't stand Elisabeth Hasselbeck or Barbara Walters, yet I watch "The View" every day. Oh me.

It just sucks that there's nothing on right now to tide me over until Big Brother. My life is so rough. I taped that new Paris Hilton show last night. I might give that a try. And I still haven't watched "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding." That looks like it might be horrible enough to be fun. I don't know what else I'm supposed to do. Go outside and actually live my own life? Gross.

Tonight's Episode: "Easily Persuaded"

So...hi. This is my first blog. Pretty much ever. Not entirely though...I used to write blogs on Xanga. Remember that? I wouldn't really call what I wrote blogs though...and I guess I won't call these blogs either. Because, to be honest, I don't really know what a blog is, so I probably don't know how to write one either. I will say, that I do plan on writing things here though...and I'm going to try to make these things be things that you might enjoy reading. Hopefully I will succeed.

Anywho, tomorrow Amanda and I are having a vlog (which is a video version of a blog, so at least I know half of what that is) in which we are answering questions that people have left on the comments page of her blog. I'm pretty excited for it. I was going over the questions today, and I saw that one person said "Hey Eric, why don't you have a blog? I would enjoy seeing what you have to say." or something like that...so, I did it. It doesn't take much to convince me to do things. One time Amanda set up this big obstacle course for me and my friend, and she was going to pay the winner. It involved things like eating cat food, eating several bananas and sitting on a merry-go-round, and rolling down hills...but it ended in a tie. She said that if one of us put on a Depends® undergarment and pooped ourselves, we would be declared the winner. So, I did it. I like winning...and that definitely made me a winner.

Following along with this train of thought, I listened to this person, and made a blog. I don't know if I'm going to stick with it or not. I don't know if I even actually want to do it. I don't know how to make decisions on my own. But, for now, I think it'll be fun. For me at least. Hopefully (if I'm lucky) Amanda will follow this blog, and get to find out what I really think about her. That would be a thrill. I don't get to see her enough.

Alright...so, that's all I have to say right now. I guess I just wanted to inform myself that I'm writing a blog.


(Honest question- Because I still don't know what a blog is. Obviously Amanda's blog is meant for people to read, because she shares book releases and crap there...but for a normal average nobody like myself, is a blog supposed to be like a diary? That I post on the internet? That anyone can read? Who am I writing to? Am I asking these questions to myself? Should I answer myself?)
