Oh Happy Day!

Someone once said, ~People seem to get nostalgic about a lot of things they weren't so crazy about the first time around.~ If you think about it, we as a society seemingly have our finger on the pulse of pop culture as it may possibly be the start of an exciting and sometimes unusual phenomenon that continues to have a so called heartbeat, so to speak after a certain number of years. However, there can't be excitement without the unwavering support of the fans who at one time started out small, but eventually grew into huge numbers all around the world. You see, its the fans who never let their love for what makes them happy on the inside completely fade away into obscurity. Let me ask you this question, was it something you weren't crazy about, but now you can't get enough of it?

Without a doubt, the fast food industry is all about creating something new in order to find what appeals to our proverbial taste buds, making us hooked on that particular food item till the day we day. A creation such as Mickey D's McRib wasn't really a so called hit at first because of how much sauce was slathered on it causing you to go through a handful of napkins from the mess it can make to the point where you find yourself literally in a sticky situation. Yet, despite that fact, there has been a growing support of that particular tasty food item from guys like myself who look forward to the day when Mickey D's brings it back to the menu. Hey, if ladies can get excited about a new shoe being advertised, then why can't us guys get excited about a certain sandwich coming back?

Oftentimes, there are certain dance songs that when it immediately comes on the radio or blasted in the clubs you can't help but cry due to how truly annoying it is. Personally speaking, there are certain dance songs that I can't stand like The Macarena by Los Del Rio and Billy Ray Cyrus' Achy Breaky Heart. Unfortunately, as I get older it's dance songs such as The Chicken Dance, The Electric Slide, and the Cha Cha Slide that I eventually grew to enjoy even though I didn't like them the first time around because of how not only corny they sounds, but when you see people dancing to the song it becomes doubly corny. Let me tell you something, you may see me get into the beat of those three above mentioned songs, but dancing to them is something you won't ever rarely see me do.

Let me ask you this question, what is considered to be your favorite reality based show now that you didn't get into it in the beginning because of how new it was. Survivor, Beauty and the Geek, Dancing With The Stars, The Bachelor, Deal or No Deal, Celebrity Duets, Flavor of Love, I Love New York, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, etc. are just some of the shows that many people didn't quite watch in the first season. Now, several seasons later they're smash hits as people all around the world tune in every week to watch their favorite reality stars/celebrities either compete in the survival of the fitties, to be more than just a beauty/geek, winning money, shaking their booties on the dance floor, finding love, and finding the next big singing star.

In retrospect, being nostalgic about certain things in life can sometimes have a time limit, in a manner of speaking, as the excitement slowly fades due to disinterest. For example, a show such as an American Idol is still the #1 on Fox and watched by millions of people all around the world, but the talent on the show this past season has lacked the umph causing possible disinterest in watching season 7. For the question can be asked, will season 7 be the last for American Idol causing the nostalgia within all of us to die out? Who knows, it's just a matter of watching next year to see, as well as, hear better talented singers. In the end, whether it's a fast food sandwich, a certain dance song, and/or a reality based tv show coming back we all tend to say the same thing on the inside or out loud.....oh happy day!
