The TV Circus

Well, hello there, minions! If you're here from the very beginning, you'll certainly see me at my worst and, hopefully, at my best! Now, as I intend to dedicate my life to the media, I wish to tell you a little bit about one of my latest experiences: being invited to speak at a local TV show. In case you're thinking it's a brag-about-how-amazing-my-life-is-post, let me cut it short: it's not.

I arrived at the TV studio in my dad's car after struggling to find the weird white building for 15 minutes together with a friend. We arrived about half an hour before the show was supposed to start and engaged in a lively conversation with one of the hosts. The guy's a really cute kid and I can see he's got some brains too. The conversation lasted around 10 minutes, until the other guests arrived: 3 (well, actually one of them is a little bit normal) absolutely mind-blowing special individuals. No, they're not crippled or anything, they only have one major flaw: they are stupid!

This being said, you will ask me: "Well, ok... So they're dumb. What stops you from leaving the room?". I didn't leave the room, I just splurged in checking my Facebook wall, a couple of times. But then, the real problem came up: we had to go on set. Here is where I'll make a confession: the show has been aired every Tuesday for a couple of months, but I have never seen any one of them, until now. Since we were last, I had to stay and listen to the entire show. The 45 minutes before me were excruciating!
I had met them before and knew more or less about how they were, but this period of time (you might say short), made me understand that some sayings are, indeed, true:

"When you die, you don't know, so you don't suffer. However, those around you do: they grieve and cry. It's the same thing with being stupid!"

I am not sure who said this, but I've gotta give him credit. Listening to some people uttering words about whose meaning they knew 0 and only did this so they would look smart was the experience of a lifetime. I know I'm going to meet so many more people like this in my life, but I'm hoping that it will happen on rare occasions.

Another confession? I felt my brain burn an hour or so after the show ended. I will never be able to erase those sounds/images off of my memory.
