You Know What Really "Grinds My Gears?"
9-Aug-2009

You know what truly "grinds my gears?"
I decided to take another page from Family Guy's Peter Griffin because there are a lot of things that truly "grind my gears." I usually do not let things bother me, but I observe things that are equivalent to nails on a chalkboard such as:
"Chance of Love 2: Back in the Saddle": VH1 must be in dire need of ratings because "Chance of Love" is now in its second season entitled "Chance of Love 2: Back in the Saddle." (What happened to Real and Cornfed being together?) One thing that "grinds my gears" are these reality television shows that are supposed to help people find their "one true love." They choose a winner and then six months later, it's in its fifth season or something like that and they are single again. Whatever happened to meeting someone at a café or at a party? Online dating is also a good choice in this day and age.
However, VH1 decides to continue this cycle with another horrible reality television show where Real and Chance are supposed to find "true love." Will they finally find a woman they can fall in love with? Or will they pick a woman and then come back with "Chance of Love 3: Heading into the Ranch?" All these questions will be answered in due time.
"Tool Academy 2": Continuing on the theme of VH1 and its reality shows, "Tool Academy 2" will be airing soon. The first "Tool Academy" was a waste of a timeslot, so the reasoning behind a second season befuddles me. I never understood the purpose of "Tool Academy" and I tried to stomach one episode but failed because watching a re-run of "Gilligan's Island" seemed more interesting. I do not understand why VH1 does not keep producing quality reality shows, such as "Tough Love." I thought VH1 was making progress with producing "Tough Love," but somehow they took twenty steps back with a second season of "Tool Academy."
Drake: There is a specific reason why Drake "grinds my gears." No one loves Drake more than I do. I am a faithful "Degrassi" viewer and I supported his music career before he hit mainstream. However, the music he has been putting out recently is not his best, which "grinds my gears." Drake is a very talented artist and the songs that best represent his talent are not getting any airtime, which is very frustrating. Do not get me wrong, I love "Best I Ever Had," but his other songs that best represent his lyrical skills should get some airtime too. Drake claims that he is bringing something "new to the game," but right now, it seems like he's just blowing hot air.
