if i only had a heart, a brain, a television. i cannot sit idly by when real world invades my city. the real world san diego premiered last night and i missed it. in fact, i miss every premiere since i have no tv. but this is much bigger than missing the premiere of joe millionaire: hawaii. this is real world man! i have so many questions. some are answered, some are still hanging. where do they live? what do they do? when were they here? do they go to all the cool places i can't go? are they cute (the girls)? are they interesting (the entire cast)? was a girl really raped in the house? i am a real world whore and while this may shock you, i get much joy out of watching the lives of others unfold before me. i haven't really been caught up in a real world season since new orleans and possibly new york ten but i'm ready to devote my tuesday nights to real world san diego. now i need to get cable......



and of course, as always, there are no asian males on the show. there is regretfully yet another asian female. another korean i might add. this real world cast seems to be the most boring based purely on appearances. i haven't seen more than three minutes of the show so i can't say if they actually are boring but damn, they sure look boring. and really, enough with the obligatory minorities. stick in one black male/female, add one asian female, woila, culture. um no. where are the latinos? the indians? the anythings? and pray tell, where are the asian males? there has to be at least one asian male on real world at some point right? and how're you gonna come to california and not have an asian male? and yes was asian but he was on road rules and really, entirely too good looking to be asian.



we need a normal looking asian guy who somehow by the end of the show gets super popular because of his stellar personality. and then the fan club would form and flourish and support him the rest of his life. all other asian males on mtv shows have been ridiculous. the only asian male that comes to mind right now is scott from the tough enough show but he was a total retard so i'd rather not have him as our sole mtv representation.



i also realized recently that i have reached the "unapplicable" age. i think the cut off age for aspiring real world people is twenty four or twenty five. my life has now become too old to be deemed mtv worthy. if the age limit is indeed twenty five, i may still have a chance. i think what the real world needs is someone just like me. i've already been training for it. i hear they don't allow tvs in the real world house. we don't have a tv in the hotel pan! coincidence? unlikely. how great would it been to have a local san diego boy such as myself guiding these boring teenagers around the city. wouldn't you rather have watched that? my biggest question really about this whole real world process would whether or not i could blog while living the "real world life." that's very important to me. i think a real time blog would be an innovation that mtv cannot afford to pass up.



this cast is also apparently very young so i'm curious what they'll do. they can't go downtown can they? or maybe now they are super privileged because they are "famous" and shit. damn. my chance at everlasting fame has passed me by. at least i can watch it all unfold before me. if i could only get past this no television hurdle.



i'm reading the episode one synopsis off of mtv.com and am surprised by how mocking it is. mtv is sanctioning an episode review that is quietly supporting all the criticisms directed at the show? interesting. whoever the reviewer is, he/she/it sounds like a jaded real world viewer who is way aware of the "let's get drunk and make out" aesthetic that bunim-murray is still using. i think i'll have to read these reviews more.
