Lezz be serious, i'm a bachelor/bachelorette addict. "Hi i'm lauren and i'm addicted to watching other peoples misery and heartache whilst playing a game called love." Whatever its out there... but what I didn't expect from my mindless hours of public mackage (love me some mackage!) was that i'd actually take something from it. On the season premiering now (Ashley's season can't decide if I totally like her or not), there was one fellow in particular named Ames. Obviously its reality TV and its edited to make for good television so I don't dare say that I had this amazing actor/ viewer connection with him but I will go so far as to say that he might have taught me something. On last nights episode (the night before he got rejected, DAMN YOU ASHLEY) he said something that stuck... "The beauty in the ordinary is what's extraordinary." How neat and totally true is that, it was even more uplifting because he had just told all of America that both his father and his stepfather, both of which he was extremely close to, had died of cancer so he had adopted this outlook as a coping mechanism. Its all effing over the place ordinary sights, smells, and moments. But its picking apart those ordinary moments, or not, just really accepting what's going on for what it is that makes it beautiful. It's also 2 in the morning and everything is better at 2 A.M. so i'm gonna go to sleep now. Food for thought I guess.
