Vote Us Off... We don't Care.

So Sydney and I are reality TV fans... Maybe me more so then her... but we watch American Idol, Survivor, The Amazing Race, Big Brother, American Chopper, American Casino, The Apprentice, Overhaulin'... pretty much any show that has real people in it... not that we don't like other shows... for example I have mentioned that our favorite show is Alias... great plot. It amazes me that a TV show can have the plot of a movie. By far the best show we have seen. But we also watch CSI, CSI Miami, CSI New York, According to Jim (one of my personal favorites.) and a few others that I can't think of right now... but the point is, the reality shows out weigh the other shows. I got to thinking about this and I think that is why I like to blog and read others blogs... it is kind of like following a reality tv show... except it is interactive.... and you get to watch them daily. Really; there are a lot of similarities. Ultimately, people who blog are all just a bunch of reality tv stars... hoping that people like what they write so they aren't "voted off..." Not that anyone can actually vote you off, but you understand my point. Some may say that, "they could care less what people think..." and it might be true when they start thier blog; however, as they begin to have regulars stopping by, one can argue that you tend to post according to what you feel will get the most reaction... you voluntary cater to their tastes to keep them coming back (not all the time, but every now and then, everyone does it). Because deep down inside all of us is a certain amount of desire to be accepted... even by strangers. (It may vary depending on your personality... but it is there to some extent in each of us. ) Would you agree? Interesting thought... Although in our case... we could care less what you think... leave if you want.... Vote us off.... We don't care. lol. ;)
