Two topics for the price of none…?

Alright, the long awaited double feature… what… no one is waiting for it you say?

Are you trying to tell me no one reads my blag. NO WAY. I don’t believe it.

So onwards. First thing, ya my internet connection has been pretty crappy lately, like it loses the ability to go to Google frequently and stuff. But yesterday it wouldn’t let me on at all… so we got it looked at. It should be fine, for a while at least. But because the instability I am now going to prewrite my posts opposed to writing them right in wordpress. Cuz Microsoft word 2007 is cool and has spell and grammar check, also if I lose internet my post isn’t lost… that is what I call a +. I really don’t know how that is going to affect you, my reader… but I thought I would say it anyway.

UNIVESAL HEALTH CARE:

I realize that I already said that I don’t like it. But someone I know that read the post says that I should better explain my reasoning… especially after what I said about their counterpoints.

Alright, so I know that there are loads of countries out there that have it. Japan, Canada, and France (pretty sure…) all have it and they do it fine. Sure some fat guy is denied treatment here and there, but I mean they are pretty good. And because everyone has it no one is denied treatment. The limitations that would exist in UHC exist now so it really wouldn’t be all that different. If I lived in Japan, I would not mind UHC for many reasons. The reason that I think that America shouldn’t have it is because it is AMERICA. First i’m pretty sure that it would be unconstitutional and just wrong on principle for the “free world as they like to call it, have a program that laughs in the face of the free market. It is because As Americans we pride ourselves on our individualism. We would see those other countries doing UHC and doing it right then say. “huh… that sure is ONE way of doing it… lets do it THIS way…” suddenly the government has more restrictions and policies on breathing than it ever had on smoking before… and oh you want to smoke too? Well you can’t because then you will be at a higher risk of cancer and be taxing on the public health care, if we had to treat you. Before you know it, it is the year 2012 and it has never seemed more like 1985. So ya it is totally just the American ideal that makes me hate it because we are the only country in the world dumb enough to actually go through with it… really. I feel really… bored with this subject now… I suppose that I could go on longer with it but, I feel that I would just be repeating myself… so I won’t. (I hate when people say the same things over and over… like when someone tells a story to you and then to some one else but you are with them… then to you again cuz they forgot they told you… and to that other person again. Then latter to illustrate a point… then again because they know it ticks you off… ya… I hate when people do that…) but I’m not done, nope. I said double feature and to me that means 2 topics… as opposed to twice as long… it is sorta like grind house that way 2 movies in the time allotment of a slightly long one, so ya.

 

Like the hint said TV. Well TV sure does mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. To some people it signifies the entire generation; to some it brings enlightenment, and others it is a source of evil. I think that TV’s time is pretty much done, but that is like saying that TV killed the radio. TV will live on as radio lives on, it simply isn’t the single most important factor anymore, that place belongs to none other than ‘the internet’. But the topic wasn’t the history of TV of how obsolete it is, but rather my take on a specific show. TV is only as good as the programming, I don’t think that many people will argue that; some TV with just antenna is vastly underpowered compared to one with DVR and full satellite. But even so it seems that TV programs over the years have started to get a little… ‘meh’ for lack of a better word. Almost every show is so repetitious that it hurts me to watch them, to the point that I find myself preferring to sit doing nothing than turning on the TV. That doesn’t mean I detest the TV, far from it. I spend many hours a month watching TV, it is just that I end up only watching the same episodes of a few shows multiple times on my DVR… so what are these shows… basically there are 3 categories, shows I go out of my way to watch, shows I watch if I have nothing better to do… and shows I turn the TV off for. In the last category go everything not in the first two… in the second are shows like, Monk, CSI, Star trek, House, and adult swim (sometimes…) and in the top category, the awesome of the TV world, only 2 shows live: Heroes, and Good Eats.

I am pretty sure EVERYONE has heard of heroes, in fact I am pretty sure that everyone and their dog has talked about how awesome they think it is. So I am not going to mention it again. Good Eats on the other hand is like the unknown Atlantis of TVdia the mythical land where TV shows makeup reality. On the Map of TVdia you go down past the MTV Mountains then be sure to steer clear of the soap swamps then through the ocean of mediocre sitcoms you will find the Island of Food. One would think that with such a cool name it would like a forest utopia… you would be wrong. It is a desert wasteland, with only a few oases’ here and there barely supporting the single palm tree growing in them. Looking on the map you would never know that in the center of the island is actually a thriving metropolis. Why wouldn’t you know that? Because the nation of Tech and Science shows loaned a single cloaking device that the Lost City of Good Eats uses to hide itself.

Good Eats, in the heart of Food network, its very existence is owed to Science. And why wouldn’t a food show also be a science show. It makes perfect cence to me. I can already see that you hate it. That is the reaction most people have when they hear that it is a food show. They have already toured the island and know it too be a desert wasteland and the palm trees are fine to look at but no one really cares… good eats is different. It isn’t like cooking shows that say ‘one egg, 1cp flour. Beat on high. My mother used this same recipe, Blah blah blah.’ No that is called boring eats. This is called GOOD eats. This show doesn’t give useless recipes; it teaches you how ingredients work, with each other, by them selves, what ever. After an episode you leave wishing it wasn’t over and there was still more to learn about the ingredient of the day. Yes good eats, it sure is good eats. Unfortunately there is no way to tell someone how awesome it is, one must experience it for themselves. How fortunate that Alton Brown (the host of the show) has a website and that website has a clip the clip (which is about some knives that he thinks are pretty cool) is done in almost exactly the same way that the show is, just about knives instead of food. So take the video for a spin and then go on an expedition to find the hidden city of Awesome in the land of Food, Good eats.

 

Well

Bye-Q!
