Television:
"the TV business is uglier than most things. it is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason."-- hunter s. thompson ............................................................ .......that being said, i have made the bulk of my living in my life in tv, and watch more than my fair share of it. i love, love, love project runway. my name is earl is the funniest show on television. i mainly watch soccer, motogp, world superbike, a bunch discovery channel, national geographic, travel channel stuff. i like to live vicariously through anthony bourdain. oh, and my new guilty pleasure is this new show called dirty sexy money, which just started and is really entertaining.
