dear diary,
i love the show "survivorman". has anyone seen this show? it is my new favorite thing to watch on tv (as opposed to watching it where else?). the show is on the discovery channel on friday nights at 9pm. i can't wait. for those of you that don't know what i'm talking about, you're missing out. this one guy places himself in the most bizarre, toughest scenarios with no food, no water, no camera crew or anything and is forced to survive for 7 days. for example, he gave a scenario of a boat capsizing and all he has is his life raft...in the middle of the ocean. he has his own camera equipment, and tapes it all himself. i guess i like to watch other people suffer. i think that's what it basically boils down to. i would never be in the kalahari desert, so i can scratch learning how to eat scorpions and drink my own urine (heating it 1st with the desert sun to extract the harmful 7% toxins that can kill you). but yet, i find myself glued to watching it. it's a man's show, i get that. but even my wife will endure watching it with me...it's captivating. i started questioning my own survival techniques. i'm not the outdoor type of man. i would much rather prefer a big city setting. i hate the cold, so i wouldn't break down on my snowmobile in the middle of northern alaska...i've never even been on a snowmobile. then i evaluate my life as a whole. i have a wife, 4 kids, 2 dogs (one of which is gay...we don't speak to him), a house, 2 cars, groceries, health care, fuel to run the 2 cars, clothing for ever growing children, the list goes on and on. how do we survive? a mediocre, mid management salary. now...survivorman, let's see that episode.
i love you,
maynard
