Reality Show


The funny thing about so-called reality shows is that they are not true reality.  They are scripted events with producers, editors, lighting, makeup, etc.  A true reality show happens when we wake up in the morning, hair mushed to one side, a little snap, crackle, and pop of the joints, then out of bed to start a new day.

My typical reality show starts with a good stretch in the morning, a prayer of gratitude for another day, a few cracks and pops then get dressed and off to the gym.  From there, it is off to work and who knows what.  There are also days where a wake up in a less than good mood or wishing I’d skipped that last tasty adult beverage the previous night.  Then there are other days where I feel like I am on some crazy roller coaster just zipping from here to there.  As things happen, I to choose how to react and what to do with said things No matter what kind of day I have, it is still my reality. Sure, events and other people can have influence on how the day goes, but it is ultimately my reality.

I am the producer, writer, makeup guy, editor, and lighting guy of the Rod Show. The Rod Show has been on for 53 years with no reruns. Each day is a new episode. Hmmm, I wonder tomorrow’s episode will bring?  Stay tuned.
