The Biggest Loser may not be the best show on TV, in fact, most of the time I despise reality show schlock, but at least it's a show where everybody wins. Even if these people don't win the grand prize of $250,000, they still got their lives back, and they're much healthier for it. That's a life-affirming show.
This is something I really believe in, in theory more than in practice. I wish I could be a life-affirming person. Someone who others look at and say, "hey, it makes me feel better about the world just knowing he's in it." That quality is rare in a person, but I feel like I've done a pretty good job of surrounding myself with those types of people. People who don't say negative things, even when joking around. I like the feeling that brings to me. Despite the fact that maybe I don't reciprocate.
A few friends and myself have been casually developing an idea for a prehistoric metal band, and I'm starting to think it might be the most awesome thing I've ever heard of. We might call the genre "Tricerapop" or perhaps "Proglodyte", but that's getting way ahead of things, first we have to write the "Stegachoruses".Picture, if you will, metal songs about a war between Dinosaurs and Cavemen, where thousands of cavemen are being thrown into volcanoes by Pteranadons. Sounds pretty damn kick-ass to me. The saga could end with man's dwindling numbers finally defeating the Thunder Lizards by retreating into the safety of their caves as thousands of meteors lay their foes to waste. It practically writes itself.
And I'll end my post with this:
Can't be long now.
