Life of Ryan

This week MTV showed the season finale of "Life of Ryan". Throughout the season you met his family, friends, and crushes in good times and bad. Ryan is now a 17 year old skateboarding prodigy and the youngest to ever turn pro in the industry, compared to the likes of Tony Hawk, an accomplishment any young athlete in the sport dreams about. The show is probably one of the most watchable reality shows MTV has come up with lately giving Americas youth something more to watch than just the same old drunken, drama filled garbage you can catch any night of the week. I feel although it may not be the only show to do so "Life of Ryan" has a good message in the background; showing young kids that if you stick with something you love and work hard you can accomplish anything in this country. It also show cases the struggles of youth and something that most of us can relate to which is divorce or the separation of our parents. In Ryan's case being old enough to fully understand the whole situation at the same time getting caught in between his parents takes a toll on his emotions as well as his edge in competitions. Times like these are rough on all family members but having the strength to support each other and be the big brother or sister is what counts most.

I feel that while I have covered a couple shows so far on this site I havent really mixed it up, so here are a couple additions. A recent episode of Real World Australia left me highly entertained however not suprised in its content. After a night of boozin' it up, two cast mates Cohutta and Shavoun found themselves in an enebriated agruement of some sort (typical) leading to Shavoun throwing a glass at him which bounces off the counter and shatters in his face. Shortly after you see Cohutta in another room talking to his grilled cheese sandwich. During this in the backgound you still hear her drunken voice cursing him for talking trash about her..which he is not doing...he's just being the funny guy he is, talking to his sandwich. If you didnt see the episode I'm sorry for no further explanation but that is just the type of humorous behavior you can expect from a bunch of drunks locked up together that have nothing better to do funny stuff. I'm sure most of us can relate.
The next show reguards the Hills. Now I'm not a religuous follower of this show however I am familiar with the cast and basic happenings. I recently caught most of a episode in which Hiedi had gotten a promotion over a co-worker whom had more experience named Elodie(you can imagine how frusterated this person must have felt). The Emmy's were being held on this particular weekend which happened to be the same weekend of Heidi and her boyfriends anniversary. After being told she must work this event or have it covered she heads straight to the person she has burned ELODIE and asks her to cover for her. Best twist of all:Elodie agrees to cover her, Hiedi does not know that Elodie has however quit her job already. Long story short while on the Anniversary date Heidi gets the call that no one has shown up to cover the event and that Elodie had already quit.... leaving her high and dry while forcing her to immediately leave her lovely celebration.....HILARIOUS.
So the moral of the story: Never back stab a friend who just happens to work with you. Be a grown up and perhaps express that you too would like to compete for a promotion instead of sneakily going behind that person. At the same time however I guess business is business right?
