Bad Day

No, I didn't have a bad day.

I gave up on reality shows a long time ago. No matter what twist they think of, it is essentially the same, thus my waning interest. Assuming that I am, I thought that my disinterest is also the beginning of the decline of reality shows...but they persisted. From being stranded in an island to being cooped up in a house with complete strangers to travelling around the world, from makeovers to renovations, from becoming a model to becoming a lawyer to becoming an apprentice, from becoming the next action star to becoming the next singing sensation, from dating a gorgeous bachelor/bachelorette to dating a nerd and finally to dating a transsexual...name it, it's there. We even have local versions, there's the search for comedians, search for love teams, search for the next big pop superstar millionaire idol to the really pathetic search for employees. (Imagine the horror of besting out several contestants, undergoing unrealistic challenges to become a service crew or a personal assistant! Are they gonna be paying the fellows who get the job millions? All under the pretense of helping out those in need...who are you kidding?)

Such a long introduction...when all I wanted to say is that being that there is only one channel that we get to watch here, I am now watching these reality shows. Survivor, Amazing Race, The Apprentice, The Apprentice: Martha Stewart, and Extreme Makeover.

Anyway, its 8pm and American Idol is on.

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carryin' on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee you go
You tell me your life's been way offline
You're falling to pieces everytime
And I don't need no carryin' on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad dayT
he camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carryin' on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day(Oh.. Holiday..)

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well oh that strong
And I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You've seen what you like
And how does it feel one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
