What you find-ah, what you feel now, what you know-a, to be real...

Boy is this TV junkie in 7th heaven right now, first of all I fucking LOVED the first new episode of Battlestar Galactica, it's still one of, if not THE best show on television today. Anyway, Saturday is usually my day to catch up on my Tivo, and I have a new old favorite show. Let me explain, I used to watch the Real World RELIGIOUSLY, in fact Pedro Zamora was one of my role models as a young gay latino man, it got a little too repetitive after a while tho. I believe the last season I watched completely was probably Chicago. Anyway, I was intrigued to watch this season for two reasons, one its in Brooklyn (and I figured they would be in Manhattan half the time), but more importantly they have their first trans gendered person. It was nice to see the Real World kinda get back to a Pedro Zamora kind of mindset, in educating “the kids” about taboo subjects.
I have been pleasantly surprised at how for the most part it is a non-issue with the housemates. I think they picked a great cast this year, first of all they have 8 housemates instead of 7. There is studly bodybuilder Scott, tattooed hipster Sarah, frat boy Ryan, hip hopper wanna be Baya, black beauty pageant queen Devyn, Mormon closet case Chet, pretty boy south beach queen JD and Katelynn the aforementioned trans. They are only on the second episode, and most of each episode has revolved around Katelynn's little secret. Anyway its one of my new guilty pleasures along with Celine Dion, and the Fairly Oddparents. I'm sure the drama will ensue this season and I will share if necessary.
So as a DJ/VJ with no musical outlet at the moment, I have decided that every Saturday I will share one of my favorite videos with y'all, all three of you...and hopefully I will remind you of some little gem that you hadn't thought of or seen recently. Enjoy this week's choice: Shakespeare's Sister "Stay", which goes out to me best girl Chad!
