^Alaska gives some people a sense of adventure, RJ.
My first cousin lived in Fairbanks for many years. He'd travelled the world, and found Fairbanks his favorite place in the world.
On the other hand,I sure do agree with you about the reality shows. Enough Kardashians already! Plus, the redneck shows have to go.
Yeah, but Alaska's not the only place on earth that can/should give people a sense of enchantment. Whither variety? I'd like to see things about the South Pacific, Central Asia, Australia, Patagonia, etc. Hell, even if they have an ice fetish, they could change it up by going to Kamchatka or northern Scandinavia.
And, of course, knowing how to figure out whether a "problem" is something that you can change, or cannot change.i have the power to control my life when i accept things for the way they are such as being gay and learn how to control things that i can change (such as drinking tea, closing the blinds and going to sleep.)

Hey looky-looky, he's posting with lower case "i" when talking about himself. He must be the resurrection of Andreus!! (Sort of a parody comment inspired by another thread...)

I think they focus on Alaska because of its accessibility, Razzie. One doesn't need a passport, or a visa, or anything--Alaska is just a whim away. It represents a part of us as Americans.
What annoys me the most about the Alaska shows is that they focus on the flanneled lumberjack/Northern hick aspect of it. In fact, Alaska stands one of the most racially diverse states in the Union. Fairbanks itself has about a 10% black constituency; one black woman I'd known who lived in Anchorage absolutely loved it, and said she felt completely comfortable living there as a black woman.
But TV shows don't show any of this richness, only the stereotype of Northern hicks. I hate it with a passion.
GODAMNIT!! I've been attacked by my own eyelashes..
since yeasterday they were curling inside (maybe because of freeze) and tickle my eyeballs..
gosh ...HATE EM!! X_X
I'm kind of irritated with Black Friday and all of its ugliness. I have no problem working tomorrow (if I hadn't made it known, I work as a sales associate at Walmart now where I've been since early October). The store is hosting a luncheon for us associates working, which is nice of them. I asked for the morning shift, uncommon for me since I usually work the evening into the night. They willingly gave me a short day so I can spend it with family.
However, even though I won't be working the 'events,' which will happen at 8 PM, 10 PM and 12 AM, the entire aura of Black Friday is as ugly as the name. It makes Thanksgiving look like a joke so people can save money on something they truly don't need. It takes away from the entire premise of the holiday, even if it's a day after. Cyber Monday I have absolutely no problem with, because it's not stealing the limelight from a holiday celebrating giving thanks.
I'll still be working on Friday, just later in the morning cleaning up all the mess from those who came and trampled their peers, elders and children to get the first copy of the latest video game. Such a joke this 'holiday' is...Black Fucking Friday.
^ Yeah. It all does seem a bit stupid and "extra".
I understand what you mean, counterspade.

One of my very close JUB friends often speaks highly of Andreus. It's very clear that he cared for him greatly.
He's away at the moment, but when I saw that thread yesterday, I saved the link hoping to send it to him so he could read it when he returned. I thought he would have really liked to join other JUBbers in reminiscing about Andreus, and that perhaps he could have learned something new about the life of a man who obviously meant so much to him.
Unfortunately, with the direction the thread has taken, part of me is hoping it's gone by the time he gets back. It infuriates me that people have the audacity to shit all over such a wonderful thread, and I'm really glad I waited for the thread to develop instead of sending the link immediately.
I feel horrendously creeped out right now. Don't ask me how or why, but I came across this youtube video of this frighteningly deranged Adam Lambert fangirl moping and whining about how he spurned her advances. She claims she's "trying to be a good girlfriend" to him, and that he should be more of a loving boyfriend to her.
I already mentioned in another thread how the Celeb-stalker types give me the willies, and by watching about 40 seconds of some fangirl's youtube video, I've delved way deeper into the psyche of one of these people than I ever cared to.
It shouldn't bother me, but it gave me one of those "WHY ARE PEOPLE LIKE THIS OH GOD" moments - the kind that make you want to lock yourself in your room and stop dealing with humanity.
okay, i went over to east orange general hospital ready to do the whole fucking walk in registration process. FIRST OFF, FUCK ALL THOSE MOTHERFUCKERS...
