The Sketchiest Show on TV

Where does one start when describing one of the funniest and rather ridiculous shows on TV?

In the words of Rob Dyrdek…”Sketchy”

If you don’t know his man then:

A) You don’t follow skateboarding

B) You don’t wear DC shoes

C) You don’t drink Monster energy drinks

D) You don’t know his side-kick, Big Black, from Rob & Big

E) You have not watched MTV since  2003

And you have missed out on some of the most hilarious stuff you will ever find on TV, and also probably some of the most stupid things one can do in front of a camera (NO this is NOT like JackAss!!)

Yet is is not all about Rob either…”Drama” adds the most spark to the show with his monotone questions to Rob with every sketchy idea Rob throws out there.

So far this season (season 4) has involved Rob dropping a $15,000 box with no more than a laugh, a bear office chair, Rob paying to be attacked by a tiger, and “Drama” getting veneers. Sure this may not sound funny reading it from me, but trust me.

My two favorite episodes will have to go to a few seasons back when Rob purchased his mom, Patty a bunch of those romantic novels and started to read through them, finding out how dirty they were, he started crossing out the dirty parts. The other was when Rob installed a zip-line inside of the Fantasy Factory.

Now…until you go set your recorder for Fantasy Factory (yes you will!) it’s on tonight!!…I leave you with two videos

And last season, what you missed.

Inspiration Book

I have something, stressful, coming up. Tomorrow actually, so I have gotten out my “inspiration book” so to speak. I only pull it out every once in a while…

Frankly it is not something I tell most…few…okay like two people know about it (I am too old for these childish hobbies!!), but I figure since you take the time to visit my blog, you probably know more about me than most in the first place.

I love Faith Hill. I don’t know her personally, yet I love her. She inspires me. Yes this weird, especially given that I have never meet her.

I have been privileged to attend many of her concerts:

• Soul2Soul Tour 2000

• Faith Hill – Whistler 2004

• Soul2Soul II – 2006

• Soul2Soul Tour – 2007

While most have been with her husband, Tim McGraw, there is still her sole set at each of the Soul2Soul concerts. Anyway, I am getting off track…massively.

I have a scrapbook, an inspiration book…of Faith Hill. Ranging from magazine clippings to her fan club letters and Christmas cards. You can find a few of the magazines she has graced the covers of, sitting right next to the scrapbook on the shelf. I have been collecting stuff since 1999 – 2000.

My Faith Hill scrapbook

In a way the scrapbook is a reminder to me…that life can be what we make it…to go after dreams, too feel beautiful no matter what, to speak your mind…

But really, on days when I have lost hope in myself, it’s a reminder that Faith Hill is a strong woman. And that reminds me of my mom, and gets me thinking how strong my mom was, and how  much she could have accomplished (more so than she had) and how many people she touched in her shortened life.

I often wonder if they might have had some similarities. Frankly that is where it stands for both my mom and Faith Hill, because I never really got to know my mom, and I only know Faith Hill through the eyes of a media lens.

We all love someone we don’t actually know…and somehow that can inspire us when we need it the most.

Workouts & The Girls Next Door

I really can’t explain it. Much like I can’t explain that the only time I DON’T fidget during a TV show and can sit for hours is when The Real Housewives of Orange County/New Jersey is on.

My utter ability to have an attention span to The Girls Next Door, is something I can’t explain either.

I’m not someone who enjoys working out, at any level. It’s not getting sweaty that I don’t care for, it’s the hard work/pushing myself that I have an issue with. But I like, and need the results of working out in order to make it through my life with somewhat of a happiness about my body.

I get rather bored with workout DVDs and usually can’t manage to get the joy up enough to ride the exercise bike, because I see it as not working out. I wanted an elliptical instead! Somehow the bike won that battle.

Anyway, it seems that there is one thing that gets me to use the exercise bike and actually forget that I’m exercising or completely bored out of my mind, to a point that I can work out for well over an hour and that is….

The Girls Next Door DVDs. No, I have no idea why it’s only this show. Yes, I’ve watched all the episodes at least twice. Yes, I’m grateful the library does a descent job of providing me with them for a few weeks at a time.

I can’t really explain my obsession (yes it really is) with the show and its famous trio. Bridget, Holly, and Kendra. Yes I listed them in order of my favorites, why not!?

But yet I am there, “biking away” watching episode after episode. And no, the new trio they tried out, with the twins, that surely wasn’t a winner, sucked horribly!

However, my guess is that with Holly Madison’s show Holly’s World, I could probably do the same thing.

Frankly, I’m waiting for Bridget Marquardt’s show to start-up!! I mean after all, at some point I will be completely tired, I hope, of The Girls Next Door DVDs and need other DVDs to hold my interest in the hopes of keeping all that fat from sticking to me!
