Have you ever watched “The Surreal Life” and wondered why no one seems normal? Even the guy who seems like someone I might actually know isn’t quite right. But then what is normal? If most people aspire to be like the images portrayed on television, do those images then become normal? For instance, if I try to keep up with the Joneses who are trying to be like characters in a movie, am I actually trying to be what I consider normal or am I mistakenly working to become the very thing that appears abnormal in my eyes but completely normative in the eyes of others?

The reason no one seems normal is that they aren’t. Producers pick the weirdest people to be on that show so we’ll watch. And, by God, I watch. I watch!
