I have a love/hate relationship with TV channels such as Discovery and Animal Planet and History and...well, and all those. The ones that make you think WAY too deeply about life and the unknowns and the future. Honestly. You watch a stupid show about microscopic parasites titled," The Monster Within Me" and you have to hear all about these Flippin' amoebas ( ya know...ONE celled critters) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amoeba_(genus)) and would you believe the "intelligence" these practically non-existent things have?? Able to create things to protect themselves against our white blood cells.And you think how could ONE STINKIN' lil cell do all this?! And that then gets you thinking about the fact that white blood cells "attack" things that shouldn't be in your body. And you wonder, how does something like blood attack anything??? I mean, it's blood, yes? And then my brain spirals down into random thoughts of..."See, I NEVER coulda been a medical student.." or, "I SWEAR you have to have a brain of some sort to...ACT? Function?!" I jsut don't get it. Nor do I claim to. I wish I was half as smart as I used to be in high school and right after. When I knew the Pythagoreum Theorem by heart, and I knew how break down a species/genus/etc. I thought shows like all this were supposed to make me smarter. Somehow, they seem to be making me question any intelligence I thought I did have. Too bad I am addicted to the TRUE reality TV.
