My dynamic hypocrisy love/hate relationship with reality T.V.
Here I am again. Watching yet another season of The Bachelor. Oh and let me not forget to mention I also watch Beverly Hills housewives and Mob Wives to top the list. Oh.. and yeah there’s Intervention….I Survived… in which I actually think elevates my mind so those are out of the picture. Anyway… I am appalled by what I watch. I am stunned at the behavior of the women and the portrayal of us and how ass backwards all of the stereo-types of woman there are… and yet I watch. I am saddened at our culture that praises women to be caddy, desperate, and un-loving of their fellow sisters… and yet I watch. I see more plastic surgery than ever before- more fake lips, boobs, and endless comments on physical appearance rather than intellect.. and yet I watch. I love to watch this drama unfold. I tell myself that I refuse to take part in this demeaning culture of reality T.V. but I simply cannot stop watching. What do I gain from this? How does it continue the forward motion of women in anyway? Do I watch to feel better about my own life? Do I watch to gratify some urge to be “right” or to feel more intelligent than whom I am watching? The answer is … probably. But I can tell you this. I am not above these women, these shows, or anyone for that matter. I am here to learn, observe, and love to the best of my ability. I suppose the things i most utterly hate about reality T.V. are also the things I most utterly hate in myself and in turn need to water and grow with love. I am not writing this to impart some wisdom on anyone— I believe I am only expressing what I feel in this moment…. and the next moment may be different than this one. I am ever changing and evolving and so are you… Maybe the next moment will be the end of my reality T.V. watching.. either way I can say I truly am enjoying the human animal.. we are a strange breed and no better a place to show that off than in the most obnoxious of circumstances only reality T.V. can produce… I love you/hate you reality!!!

A note of ….. a note.
I have been sitting and watching reality T.V. tonight and the insanity of watching women stoop to new levels of lows but on the opposite scale… highs. I watch Mob Wives, Baseball wives, Desperate housewives.. all of the “trash” I can get my eyes on. But it hurts. It hurts to see women take steps backwards. The plastic surgeries, the caddy behavior, the jealousy, the lack of emotional, spiritual, and physical intelligence to go beyond the surface. I quickly switched to Oprah and got to take a deep breath watching a beautiful, intelligent woman who restores my faith in womankind. Not that Oprah is the be all end all, but she represents the forward motion of a woman who seeks more than just the naked eye. I have learned a few things in 2011. One I treasure is… we are more than our physical, we are more than our material, we are more than our relationships, we are more than our “title” of job. We are more. We can survive beyond all of those things because we are meant for more. Things come and go, people come and go, but one thing remains true. You. You and all that you are remain. Go beyond the material, love your life and be courageous and strong. Be where you are at but go beyond when you can. I know my words are vast and vague.. but let it be specific to your life. 2012.. women.. let’s go beyond.. let’s go above,.. be strong, be courageous, be you… you are more….. Peace and love— Jules
