5 Fall TV Shows I Watch

October 17th, 2007 | Category: TV, Me


Watch these 5 TV shows this fall like I do and you’ll be 5 steps closer to bringing your inner Gregg O’Connell out.

1. The Office: easily the funniest TV show on period. Fuck Yeah I spelt period and then dotted with period cause that’s how freaking serious I am about this show being the funniest.period.!

2. Kimora Lee Simmons - Life in the Fab Lane: The one and only reason to watch this show is because she’s a sexy, ruthless, it’s my way or the highway kind of girl! She’s taller than giraffe and sexier than a sheep!

3. Dexter: This dude is amazing! He’s a serial killer who kills serial killers. He’s funny and it’s all blood and guts! I love seeing blood especially on TV because it brings me closer to feeling more comfortable to go see the doctor and get blood drawn.

4. Tell Me You Love Me: Young people sex, middle aged people sex, wicked old gray pubic hair people sex & oh ya relationship problems This show is very engaging even if you haven’t ever had a relationship problem with anyone in your life like me. The best part of the show is the young woman who wants to have a kid but can’t….She’s as sexy if not more than Kimora Lee Simmons! Whoa!

5. Californiacation: I wasn’t a huge David Duchovny until I began watching this show. All he does is have sex with girls, act like a complete rebel & waste his artist ability away. Sounds like me!

Alex Albrecht Left Me Breathless

July 30th, 2007 | Category: TV, Video Games, San Diego, Love

People seldom leave me speechless or better yet breathless. Well maybe a few girls in my life have left me breathless, but that’s all in the past and this is the present. I recently attended Comic Con. Comic Con is a convention that is held every year in San Diego and it has everything from comic books to action figures and video games to upcoming movies and TV shows. It truly a geeks paradise. You see people dressed up like their favorite Star Wars characters, huge massive boobs hanging out everywhere, Jack Sparro & a lot of other things.

You probably don’t know Alex Albrecht like I know him. I first noticed him on TV when he got a job on what was then known as The Screen Savers on G4TV. He was witty, crazy, smart & more energy than a 42 oz Coke. He got fired and eventually ended up on one of my favorite podcasts Diggnation.
Diggnation occasionally does some live shows at bars in California. They did one show in San Diego which I attended like the nerd I am and had a great time.

Anyways lets get to the point of my story and what Comic Con, Alex Albrecht & me being left breathless all have in common. While I was at Comic Con with my buddy G-Dix and his daughter Batgirl we were about to leave when all of the sudden I heard an all too familiar voice behind me. I turned and looked and what did I set my eyes and ears upon but none other than Alex Albrecht. I’ve always wanted to get my photo with Alex and his co-host on Diggnation Kevin Rose, but never have. This was my opportunity!
I said “Hey Alex!” and he was like “Hey whats going on!” As I walk up to him my breathing becomes deeper and deeper kind of like if you had just run 2 miles…I barely mustard up enough air to say “dude I love your show Diggnation!” He’s like “oh thanks, are you enjoying yourself?” I’m like “Yeah there’s a lot of video games here this year compared to last” and he naturally agreed with me.
I eventually caught my breath but by that time the conversation had ended, I had gotten the photo I had so wanted and the moment was over.

I’ll always cherish that time I spent with Alex and I will never forget it. He seems like a totally cool fun guy with no attitude. I like that about semi-famous people when they don’t act all weird and cheesy. You get that shit from a lot of musicians. Musicians act so fucking weird its cheesy!

Reality Shows Are Soooo NOT REAL!

July 23rd, 2007 | Category: TV, Pissed Off


I’ve been a fan of reality shows ever since The Real World on MTV. They started off so good and so real. The late 90’s with Survivor really brought reality shows to the masses. Then after that it seemed they had a reality show for everything. They even had a fake reality show called Joe Schmo where the main guy didn’t know it was fake! It was so fucking hilarious and over the top. It was like the movie “Truman Show” except this was actually really funny.

Now it seems reality shows have past their prime and are heading into very dangerous waters. Waters that have sharks, squid & electric eels. I hate to say this, but reality shows are becoming “overly staged”. They are so fixed now and I can’t understand why except for the fact that maybe just maybe when they try and do the real true thing that people won’t think its interesting. For instance have you seen “Rock of Love” on VH1? It’s basically the same show that Flavor Flav had a few years back where he dates a bunch of girls all at once and eliminates them one at a time until he is left with his one true love. Well “Rock of Love” stars the cheesy 80’s rocker Bret Michaels from the band Poison. They didn’t waste anytime in being fake on this “reality show”. The very first episode there was this girl that was banished from the show with about 5 other girls before they even got to step foot into the house. After a few hours of all the girls being in the house this one girl who got kicked out, arrived back at the house only to be confronted by Bret Michaels bodyguard. She’s crying, pleading & saying she’ll do anything, It was so rigged. Come on you’re telling me that they don’t have security pro trolling the grounds of the estate in order for no one to get onto the property. Not only was the girl allowed back in the house, but she was also the most crazy, over the top, drunk, slutty, annoying, entertaining girl out of all of them.

The most real reality television show on TV today is “The Real World” on MTV. They let the kids do whatever they want which always seems to be drinking, fighting & fucking, but hey thats what we like! I truly honestly can’t think of another reality show that doesn’t do something thats fixed or planned! I will of course continue to watch it. but for how long remains the answer especially when I can only take so much of college attending, Abercrombie & Fitch wearing, slutty whore on “The Real World”.

David Venable Meet Bill Green

June 12th, 2007 | Category: TV, Gay

If you’ve been visiting my blog for a while then you know my love affair I have with home shopping networks QVC & HSN. I wrote a post a while back about QVC host David Venable and how he is my favorite home shopping TV host. Well it looks like not only does Mr. Venable have some company in the fight of who my favorite TV shopping network host is but he also has some competition in who is the most gay!

I was recently watching HSN then other day when this fruity interesting dude named Bill Green came on. He was selling gems and even though thats the thing I dislike watching the most on the shopping networks he grabbed my attention like Mike Honcho grabbing my nut with one hand. I don’t know if was his sassy little voice or his feminine mannerisms, but he won me over like a girl watching a Brad Pitt film.

I wrote Bill Green this email today:
Dear Bill Green,

I recently saw you on HSN and you seem to be a new host. I’m not the typical demographic that HSN usually has and that being married 30-60 year old female. I am quite the opposite actually, 27 year old single male. Anyways lets get back to the good stuff. I found you to be interesting, charismatic & honest. If I were a host I’d be like you or David Venable who is on QVC. You guys are my favorite hosts to watch. Without continuing to bore you with this fluffy email could you please mail me an autographed photo of yourself. I’d put it on my fridge next to my David Venable autographed photo. You can mail it to
