I think I have interests that no 31-year old, single, heterosexual male should have such as teenage reality tv shows, books on relationships, those soothing water fountains they sell at "Brookstone", pillows, throws, comforters, facials, pedicures, other people's relationships, and slow songs by "Journey" and "Air Supply".
I do have some normal interests like going to the gym, nice restaurants, golfing, comedy clubs, playing basketball, and going to the movies. So I'm not completely weird. Just a little bit.
Music
The six CD's currently in my disc changer in my car: Neil Diamond's Greatest Hits, Pearl Jam "Ten", "Hip-Hop Sounds of the 90's", Eminem, 50 Cent, and Taylor Hicks' only single. Very weird, I know. UPDATE: I have no CD's anymore after buying Ipod adapter for my car. It's either the radio or the Ipod. I don't want to crash changing CD's anymore.
Movies
Die Hard 1 & 2, A Few Good Men, Enemy of the State, Primal Fear, Airplane! 1 & 2, Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura, Old School, 40 Year Old Virgin, Wedding Crashers, Back to the Future Trilogy, Rocky I-IV, the Scream trilogy, Terminator 2, Suspect, A Time to Kill, Grease 1 & 2, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Karate Kid I, II, III, Breakfast Club, Austin Powers, Not Another Teen Movie, and Varsity Blues....to name a few.
Television
24. I have an obsession with that show that is beyond explanation. Just know that. Is it healthy? Probably not. But that show beats anything else on television. Current shows that are set to a Season Pass on my TiVo: American Idol, Lost, The Apprentice, Smallville, Nip/Tuck, The Office, Breaking Bonaduce, The O.C., Survivor, The Nine, Dancing with the Stars, Laguna Beach, Two-A-Days, The Hills, any Real World/Road Rules Challenge, Studio 60, 30 Rock, and Saturday Night Live.
Old School Shows? Dawson's Creek, Felicity, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place, Party of Five, In Living Color, Married...with Children, Diff'rent Strokes, Silver Spoons, and Saved by the Bell. Yes, I'm heterosexual. I swear.
Books
I like books. I applaud people that write them. I just don't read much of them any more. Unless I'm on a long plane flight. The stuff I read usually has a caption on the cover saying something to the effect of "Britney kicks K-Fed to the basement" or "Nicole Richie down to 67 lbs!" Thank you US Weekly for devoting so much time to things that are so unimportant in life. You've ruined me.
Heroes
Yeah, I like that show too. Forgot to mention that's also on my TiVo list as well.

About me: I want to thank everyone who's ever visited my site. Never in my life did I think I would actually be doing any sort of "Reality Television" site, but considering it seems to have completely consumed my tv viewing, I might as well.
I was born in the Bronx, N.Y., but grew up in Southern California. After a failed basketball career that ended one month into my freshman year of college, I decided broadcasting was the way I wanted go. Immediately after college I worked for the nationally syndicated "Jim Rome Radio Show" for a year and a half. After that I went on to "Fox Sports AM 1150" in Los Angeles as a talk show host. That lasted for a great 3 1/2 years before it came to an abrupt end. Too long. Too boring. You don't care. No need to talk about it.
I toiled in the mortgage industry for the last 3 years, along with doing some part-time radio work. In July of 2006, I made a career changing decision to move to Frisco, Texas (20 minutes north of Dallas) to begin working for my father as a Sales Rep in his company. Since the move, I've been hired at a local radio station out here, so I do that as well every night. Being a Southern California guy, I'm still getting used to living in Texas. Quite a change.
The dating shows seem to be the easiest to write about, because it's something we've all been through at some point in our life. And, well, they're so easy to make fun of. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? Hey, if you're gonna put yourself out there, you are fair game to get ridiculed.
In no way is my site affiliated with any network, show, or even contestant for that matter. This is just one man's opinions on the hilarious comedy we see on a night-to-night basis. Thanks once again for taking the time out of your day to read my mindless dribble. Enjoy.
Sincerely,
Steve - a.k.a. "Rocketship"
Who I'd like to meet: Jennifer Love Hewitt. Just so she'll know what she's missing out on. Or something like that. Who else? Vince Glortho, key master of Gozer. Daniel LaRusso, because in grammar school, I wanted to be him. Minus the karate. Jake Ryan, because in high school, I wanted to be him. Except for the preppy sweaters. Doctor Emmett Brown, for inventing time travel. I'd love to go back in time to change certain things I've done. And last, but certainly not least, Jack Bauer. If he has time in his hectic schedule.
Those just missing out on making my list? MC Hammer, "Dudley" from Diff'rent Strokes, Al Bundy, Vanilla Ice, Gerardo, Mellowman Ace, Alyssa Milano, Marty McFly, and Mr. Belding. I want to thank you all for being part of my childhood and making me the character I am today. You will never be forgotten.
Me and my niece - Xmas 06'
Not one of her better moments. But she was ok a minute later when we were watching back on the camera and it was the funniest thing in the world to her.
1 a: the act of taking back or away something that has been granted or possessed (1): social or emotional detachment (2): a pathological retreat from objective reality
Thanks for the add Reality Steve.I really enjoy your column & you had the Batchelor right on the money and I agree with your sentiments.Speculations and facts, you are right on the money. :~)
I read this quote today by Francis Bacon, "The job of the artist, is to deepen the mystery. " Congratulations--what a monster you've created, heh? We've had way too much seriousness lately, some of us needed this, thanks!
Loved the recap!! I live in rural PA. believe me most of the girls here aren't like "dom". Dang she musta been pulled out from under a rock. Made us all look bad. Can't wait for next Tuesday. D
Au contraire mon fraire! There was still one back in June when I stopped by to say HI! LOL! Yeah I have them all somewhere too. In fact, I was just looking at them a couple of weeks ago. What was I thinking with that hair color?? Geez! =)
Hey you! It's been a while so I thought I would drop by your little corner of the myspace world and say hello! I caught you on the radio a few weeks ago when I was checking on the Stars game.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday and that you have an even better summer! Cheers! Nik
