My work hours paired with my love for watching disastrous people collide when I get home too early.  My son is sick and I had to come straight home after my radio show. 

Today was worse than most days because I was home by just after 10 am.  So I was home WAY too early to be a human.

My home office situation took a back seat to Christmas decorations so I had to make some modifications.  I put my desk in the only place it would fit ..the middle of the living room facing the TV.  That presented a problem. .....TV.  There it is and inside are such magical stories I can watch while I work!  Yeah that was a mistake too.  Do you know how bad daytime TV is?  If I made 1 million dollars a year and had the same hours I would feel like a failure for watching daytime television.

I have three choices.....sports items I've already digested from the weekend, 24 hour news which I've already digested or Jerry.  Yeah.  LCD.  I chose the Lowest Common Denominator.  JERRY.  JERRY.  JERRY.

It's like fast food.   You swear in the moment that you need it...you must have it.  The result is bloating and self loathing.  I guess Jerry Springer is celebrating 25 years of presenting us with the LCD.  Good for him.  He has a financial empire for his family on the shame of so many.  I would do the same as him without blinking.  You have to:  "TAKE CAAAA OF YOO KIISSS!  (Take care of your kids) That's what his guests say.  I feel the same way.  Only I intend to.

I am part of the problem because I cannot look away but if we do it right we won't have these shows.
