Now i have a decidedly love-hate relationship with reality TV [love: amazing race; hate: swimsuit illustrated model search...seriously, wtf is that show anyways...besides a reason for losers to jack off to brain dead 20 yr olds with fake tits...rant rant rant?] and nothing has been more rocky than my feelings for 'The Apprentice'.
I mean, I like the projects they do...hate the yuppie wannabees...get annoyed with The Donald's hair...but generally enjoy the show. Now this edition, i think its version 3, has a bunch of college educated kids versus a bunch of 'self made' peoples who only went as high as high school. At first i was like 'oh, shite' cuz i was totally cheering for the people who DIDNT go to school... which made me feel like a big chump. I mean, i went to school for seven ass bleeding, debt inducing motherfuckin years and i think that the kids who didnt go to school are better equipped for the show, and moreover, success in business?
But then i figured it out. The non-uni kids arent people who merely didnt go to school...they are people who didnt go to school and instead were motivated to buy their own companies, work ahead in smaller companies, and find success that way. They werent lazy, no brained, and unmotivated at all. So it was cool that they were successful because they were motivated to be successful in a different way.
But why such interest regarding this revelation? Well, basically, it made me think why its not a good idea for me and Mila to be together. I have always said to people that i could never date someone who didnt go to University... not because im a snob [hardly! i hate people who are all edu-smarmy] but because i would find it difficult to understand where they were coming from and how their brains ticked. Ive spent the majority of my life to find career success...and i cant see having much in common with someone without similar goals. And the kids on the apprentice made me think 'no, i could date someone self made too'...
And then back to Mila. Unmotivated...filled with plans and but doesnt follow through...he hasnt written that exam which he was scheduled to write back in November, yet...and well, he told me he never even finished his diploma in Jazz music. Yeah.
Maybe the next Apprentice can be teams of over educated chicks versus unmotivated boys...if not, it could be its own new reality show...except they'd expect me to wear a bikini and get implants.
