American Idol Auditions

As American Idol is getting down to the finals, I thought I'd repost an old classic. This is a news piece I produced with Ben Gleib, where we went to the local American Idol auditions pretending to be a news crew, with Gleib as our fearless reporter. It's a good one, so check it out.

What are Love and Happiness? Pt 1

NOTE: DUE TO PERSONAL ISSUES THIS MAY BE A SAPPY BLOG. IF YOU ARE IN A FUNNY MOOD, PLEASE SKIP. THANKS, THE MANAGEMENT.

Ok, pop quiz.

1. Pick one of the following...

a. a career with great achievements
b. an amazing healthy family
c. to be a billionaire
d. to live an exciting story filled life
e. to find the most amazing perfect love
f. to be absurdly happy

2. Rank these...

a. Justice
b. Happiness
c. Love
d. Faith
e. Truth
f. Security
g. Hope
h. Recycling
i. Orphins

Okay, h and i are jokes.

If I were completely selfish for a second, and didn't care about the impact I had in the world, then happiness would be my dominant value in life. What else could be more important to you as an individual then happiness. Truth can bring you misery, love lasts about as long as a bar of soap does, hope is simply wishing it was better, and if you have faith and a quarter then you have a quarter. Security is great, but if your rich and miserable locked up in house in the Hamptons, then life still sucks. And justice?... Does Walker Texas Ranger or Hulk Hogan ever really look happy? They have some weak sense of satisfaction, but that lasts about 22 minutes until next week when macho man kidnaps elizabeth or some evil sheriff tries to swindle friendly native americans. Look, the goods in life is happiness. That's what it is all about. We all get the same hours in a day, but we don't all get the same enjoyment out of a day.

SO HOW DO I ENJOY LIFE MORE??? You ask almost falling right off the edge of your blog reading seat!!!....

Fuck if I know.
(But i will try to bullshit an answer in pt. 2...coming soon)
