Okay so I was flipping channels last night and finding nothing on I stopped on this new show "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Now I'm originally from Atlanta, in fact I lived there most of my life. This show is about the dumbest thing I have ever seen. I never watched the first Real Housewives show out in I think Orange County but this one is STUPID!! I watched it last night for maybe 15 mins and all I could think about was how in the world they found enough people to watch this to keep it on the air. Many good TV shows have been canceled or just plain ended to leave us with crap like this.
These people on this show are either rich or they married rich and now they are getting paid to show the world or however many people tune in how rich they are??? This of course makes total sense to me. Apparently there is also a tone deaf character on the show that thinks she is going to become a singer as well. I say let her try out on American Idol and let Simon give her his opinion of her singing. Of course she will probably be just like every other horrible singer that goes on that show and sucks. Simon will tell them to find a new career and they will tell him he doesn't know what he is talking about. Well I find that very confusing, you went to have him hear you sing b/c you think he can help you get ahead in that career but if you do not like what he has to say you change your mind about his expertise? Just like during this stupid show I watched. The part I saw had this "singer" going to a voice coach to help her out on getting started with her career. After hearing the negative comments the voice coach gave her she decides that she's not really all she's cracked up to be. If it wasn't so stupid it would be funny.
I say bring back shows like Las Vegas that got canceled due to the writer's strike and get rid of crap like this!

Wasted Money
I find it hard to believe that in times like we are currently facing, people still spend countless amounts of money on trivial items. Things like cigarettes, getting manicures, fake nails, gum, etc. The amount of money spent in a given year on these items is just amazes me. I also find it extremely humourous that these same people wasting this money are the ones who complain the loudest about not having enough money to pay bills. Crazy!!
The average smoker who goes through a pack a day is spending up to $1,660 per year. I mean come on this is one months house payment for a really nice house. There are thousands of people out there right now who would do just about anything for the ability to make their house payment. Beyond the simple realization of how much money you could save by cutting down on smoking, what exactly do you get from buying cigarettes? It's true, I am not a smoker so I cannot understand exactly the draw to smoking but I've been told by my smoker friends that it's just something they do. After you smoke it and most of the time do not smoke the entire thing, you throw it away. Some say it's a stress reliever, but is it really or is this just a mental aspect of smoking. Seems to me that with the economy in the shape that it is in, you would want to save money at every possible point that you could.
The one I really find funny are the people who insist on keeping up their fake nails. I've seen several of the people I know complain about not having any money but when you seen recent pictures of them, their nails are flawless. Does having beautiful nails make being broke more bearable?? People spend in upwards of $2000 a year to keep these things up. Not only are they draining your wallet but they are actually killing your real nails that are suffocating beneath them. This is absolutel insane!!
Thank you for letting me take this time to vent about some of the stupidity that I see throughout the day.
