Reality TV

Who's reality is it? Not mine but I'm still sucked in and can't help but watch those stupid tv shows.  Flavor of Love was the dumbest show I've ever seen and I watched every single season.  Keeping up with the Kardashians and Kourtney and Khloe take Miami-I can't help but watch these shows but they have absolutely no significance in my life whatsoever.

Why are they famous?! I have an interesting life, you can pay me to follow me around my house and see how "hectic" REAL life is. I'm a country girl from south east Kentucky where Coal Mining is this states future. Nothing flashy ever goes on here and we struggle day to day working as Hyde would say "for the man".

Self-help?

Has anyone ever taken into consideration that to help ones self, one must do so on their own?  Let's define "self-help"-it is a self-guided improvement.  All self-help books are written by someone else, not you, so how is it truly self-help? 

Could it be, that like a hypochondriac who hears their neighbor Jim has IBS and at the first sign of a belly ache, they have IBS as well, the power of persuasion is what truly helps?
