The Story of My Life

Mark Twain once said, ~There was never yet an uninteresting life. Such things are an impossibility. Inside of the dullest exterior there is a drama, a comedy, and a tragedy.~ Let me ask you this question, do you consider your life interesting and if so, would you make it into a reality show? It would be a tough call to make and yet, in a way, each one of us are starring, as well as, living in a little reality show called life. Even though there aren't any cameras following our every move and listening to anything that would remotely be considered "great television", something happens around or to you that it may very well in fact capture the attention of the viewing audience, who loves to watch/listen to dramas, comedies, and/or tragedies.

When it comes to our own lives, there is without a doubt no shortage of drama as life tends to inadvertently or purposefully draws people towards you in order to rake up some higher ratings, so to speak. We all try to avoid it as much as possible, but somehow you find it or it finds you in the form of a person or group of people who having nothing else better to do with their lives than to just to shake things up in your life by stirring the proverbial pot of conniving mischief for their own sick, twisted, and pleasurable amusement. Every person has their fair share of drama on any given day, but for some people its an ongoing saga that even the late Aaron Spelling couldn't even possibly conceive from his own brilliant, imaginative mind.

Within every reality show, there should always be a cast of characters who bring some much needed comedy to fill one's day laughter. Oftentimes the laughter will always be provided by your bestest of friends as they're considered comedians who just make life fun. Whether or not you consider yourself the straight man or woman who can keep a straight face among the comic relief that make it their primary job to put a smile on your face when you don't get the punchlines to the jokes that life/love hand you that it not only doesn't make any sense whatsoever, but it also can get you down. Let me tell you something, at times I consider myself the straight man who is truly lucky enough to be surrounded by a bunch of funny and hilarious comedians.

Essentially, a reality show isn't a reality show if there aren't any unfortunate tragedies that supposedly make great stories to flashback on. The type of tragedies that are relatable in some way to our own lives to where one's own heart is touched and tears are possibly shed. A loss of a loved one, cases of physical/mental abuse, or whatever the case may be that will most definitely keep america glued to their television sets, which I'm sorry to say TPTB(the powers that be) thrive on for the expressed purpose of making money off the suffering of others. For the question can be asked, would you be in a reality show knowing you could no longer keep/protect your anonymity as you're, in all intents and purposes, "naked" in front of the whole world.

For the past 10 years, I have personally starred in my own reality show and even though you haven't seen it on tv, you've actually read the transcripts on a semi-daily basis. For some of you have been reading them since the very beginning while others have in recent months just started reading them and are trying to catch up or already caught up on what you may have missed. It's in these transcripts, otherwise known as Yodaisms, you have gotten to know me and quite possibly many of could actually give me a rundown about my life through those Yodaisms, which I throw out a challenge to anyone who can do so...but I digress. In the end, its within the written transcripts to my little reality show you inevitably get a sneak peak into the story of my life.
