If you have cable tv, or some equivalent, you have probably wandered into the game show network. Its a collection of all our favorite old game shows. Which is your favorite? I think mine is still price is right, but I dont think that one is shown on there yet. Anywho... if you notice the dollar amounts way back when, say in the pyramids game. The person who wins gets a few bucks, but along the way you can win a few thousand dollars. Yipee. Now if you look at the one dating game, where they wrote stuff about their significant other and then they had to guess what they wrote. Newly weds game right? It can be embarrasing. Listen to what I did last night. I had chinese food, orange chicken to be specific, while I watched Fear Factor. Fear Factor had Valentine's day couples on, who got locked in boxes underwater, transferred and ate cockroaches, and held onto each other high, high above the ground. All while I was eating. I guess the only disgusting thing was the cockroaches. Can you picture our parents or grandparents 20 years ago sitting down to a nice tv dinner and watching something like that? They'd freak out. Of course if you do all of these things, and in the time limit necessary, you can win 50,000 dollars. Thats nice, but some of the things they eat? For a measly 50,000? I think not.

Now how about Joe Millionare, I've been watching this show every week now, and although I think Evan is a moron, the show is interesting because I want to see how the girl he picks reacts when he says I dont have any money. Its kind of a lie though since, after this show, he'll be on magazine covers, talk shows, and movies all over the place, I doubt he'll be too poor after. They narrowed it down to 2 last week, and this week they were supposed to say who he picked, but they tricked us. We wasted an hour of our lives through recaps of all their dates, and boring stupid butler talk, only to find out absolutely nothing. We have to wait 7 more days, and sit through a 2 hour finale, where we hear all the other women rant about how aweful evan is for doing this, and how aweful his choices were. Grrrrr.....

Death, can sneak up on anyone, at anytime. Its a scary thing the human body. Trillions of cells all working together to form you, they work seamlessly for billions of seconds of your life. But then out of no where, something can go wrong. You had too many cheeseburgers, or you wind up in a car crash, or maybe its just a complete fluke. Those cells try to fix and repair, but they can only do so much. We are very complex systems, and self-healing, but sometimes things happen to fast. Hopefully the time you spent on the planet, was worth it, you had good experiences, you did good deeds, you loved, laughed, and cried. In the end people will remember you as a happy peaceful person, and that is what matters most. How do you know what other people think though? I mean of course after you pass people say all the nice things about you, and some will remember bad things. But how do you know what the bad things are right now. So that you can have some time to fix them? Like scrooge, you can know if you are a bad person, but maybe you dont, you are blind to it. There should be a website someplace to tell people what they think of you without you knowing who its from. Course you could probably tell by the writing style right? Hmmm... an interesting idea. I'll have to see if I can find it. ttfn.

Gambling is a bad thing, when you are losing. I had the boys over to play a little cards tonight. I had a few coins from Canada that I wanted to spend, and then I got a few bucks from the bank. Overall it was a pretty good time. I think I lost about 15 dollars in all, 4 hours of playing cards. Not bad eh? Of course I dont understand how someone could want to do this on a more serious level. Its just fun and games. To put money down on the table that you need for food, or in fact to try and earn food, or some such item, is rediculous. I mean heck anyone would love to go to Casino Niagara and plop 50 dollars down and make it into a million bucks. Seriously though how is that ever going to happen, the house wins in the long run. Just to get to Niagara you need gas money, free time, and extra cash. Not to mention food and drinks they know you'll buy. So its a shoe in to win. Overall, poker was lots of fun tonight, had some fun, learned a few new crazy games to play. And everyone remember that Zig has far too much change. Now where is my hunny?
