VH1's The Pickup Artist 2

Round 2 heeeeere we go.

Last year I remember being pretty excited about The PUA on Vh1. Ultimately I was a little disappointed. Overall in my eyes, the whole show was a bit lame. It seemed to me like a scripted show that did not show anyone what learning and practicing "PUA" material was all about.

So of course I was very curious when the first episode of season 2 came the tube last sunday night. I wanted to see if there was actually going to be any substance to this seasons antics. To sum it up, I am thus far not sold. But, on the bright side, it seems like the entertainment value of the show has definitely been upped. The contestants are more pathetic and overall the production value seems to be pushed up a bit for this season. So for now, I am hooked in for at least one more episode.

As for the controversy over if this show is going to "expose" the community: Ill tell you the story of a few of my roommates last year who were ecstatic over the show. They thought they were going to finally learn how to talk to the ladies. They watched, they learned nothing substantial and eventually the show was forgotten. I'd bet a fair amount of money this scenario was very typical of last seasons impact. I think many people in the "community" don't realize that most people in this world don't have the dedication to commit to doing what it takes to actually make breakthroughs in their game. To be frank, I don't think a sensationalized reality show will be inspirational enough for many men to see what learning this material can do for their life.

This Weekend.

Mom and sister are coming to visit this weekend. It should be a pretty quiet one, also considering next week is going to be super busy at work. Im already looking forward to being done with next week. Not a ton going on right now in the love life, and actually i feel just fine with it. I of course still have a few girls out there who are interested. I'm just gonna give it this weekend and next week before I get back into the swing of things. :)

Well, for the past few months ive been trying to get by stealing internet from neighbors and such. To make a long story short, its been a royal pain in the ass. So today, I finally gave in and hooked up my net. I just got tired of desperately searching for a reliable connection pretty much every day. Ive kinda realized im an absolutely spoiled person. Ive been blessed with so many things in reality I should have nothing at all to complain about. I grew up with a great family. Ive always gotten pretty much everything ive wanted. Im so spoiled, if I don't have a good internet connection, im not happy. It's kinda crazy if you think about it. Like I said, in reality I have nothing to complain about.

I went out in St. Paul tonight, for the first time ever. It was in a way refreshing. Going to a new place that is out of my comfort zone so to speak. I think I want to start branching out and going to new places more often.
