Shaq, why are you on my television?

So, when you think Shaq, you think belligerent jock guy; right?

Since I've moved to this tiny city I have had more than enough time on my hands when I'm not working. Yeah, I got a job out here. I'm prep cooking at a restaurant. It stinks but it's money. Wow, that makes me sound like someone who would be cool with being a prostitute. However, that's beside the point.

I'm sitting here bored to stupid as I managed to fuck up the dinner I tried to cook. Yeah, I screwed up diced potatos. Brilliance, I know. I don't have work tomorrow so my plans for tonight consist of TV and scrabble.

There's a new show that just came on called Shaq VS. It's essentially where Shaq finds celebrities that sort-of have talent and challenges them thinking that he can magically become better than them at it in like, 2 days. This episode he tries to take on the second fastest guy in the world in running and tries to out-cook Rachel Ray. Yeah, that broad who tries to sell 7$ bags of bread and looks do-eyed on the food network.

I've never really liked Shaq, I thought for sure he died from steroids like, 5 years ago - but, alas, nope. He's just 7 feet tall and still dim. I don't see a point in making a television show that paints me "HEY I'M ARROGANT!" He finds these celebrities and basically tells him that he's challenging them at what-ever talent they have and the one being challenged just looks at him like he has a booger hanging out of his nose. The rest of the show consists of him blurting out random, airheaded holier than thou statements and asking people who work in the opposing teams area to get a foot ahead, so in a sense - it's basically another stupid reality show where Shaq tries to cheat his way into being better then someone, however in real-reality you can't become a better chef then Rachel Ray in 2 days when your only job in the past 20 years has been to play sports and you can't out run Tyson Gay who's the second fastest dude in the world with a little bit of training in two days.

I demand my hour of life back, now!
