a surreal life

Over the past few days, my in box has been filled with all kinds of anti- gay amendments and attacks on PBS and fun things the government is doing to make the climate of this country not very welcoming to the gay people living here.. I've been discussing with people just how tiring fighting all the time is.. arrrrgh... I tire..

on a guilty pleasure note.. I've become completely sucked into the VH1 series "the surreal life" but I have to say that I am worried about Joanie "chyna" Lauer.. you know.. the former wrestler, turned actresss, model.. etc.. I read an open letter to the producers of the show who had sent her on a press junket to promote it.. her appearance on Howard Stern has literally been the chatter of blogs across the country.. She was so totally out of her mind.. On the show, she drinks a lot.. but hey so does everyone else.... but Howard Stern was just bizzare.. On the show this past week, she talked about how 6 months ago she tried to kill herself.. and that she had no friends or family and that her surreal costars were the closest thing to family she had.. I felt bad for her..... then reading the letter from her ex-boyfriend to the producers.. it is obvious that she is in crisis.. Many wrestling fans don't think she will survive through june.. it's just sad to watch someone self destruct in public.

Of course my other guilty pleasures are SuperNanny! ( Love it!) American Idol.. and Regis and Kelly.. be sure to catch Supernanny if you can... it will either make you feel much better about your own parenting.. or teach you a little something along the way.
