Plastic People

Hi ALL!
 Its not so bad being the "odd man out", "fifth wheel", "socially inept". I have the rare oppertunity to look at what is normal to the plastic people and choose NOT to be like them. Yes, I am a people watcher. I notice those odd men out of society. Those who wear their black socks with funky sandals and plaid shorts. Those who tuck their polo shirts into their shorts and wear weird hats. California is filled with these types, but society deems them unacceptable. So they slide through the crowds as fillers. The 47% that try to keep the plastic people (wealthy and barbie type) from tumbling. Have you ever watched "Housewives of Orange County"? Those are plastic people. I certainly do not want to be that type of person. Are we being told by the marketing exec's and programing specialists that THIS is what we want? An hour glass shape, stingy hair and puffed up pouty lips? I would like to see more shows like "Honey BO BO" where REAL people are living their lives the way real people live. Who has that kind of money to drive expensive cars and have lunches out every day and a shop till you drop lifestyle?  Give me the show that has people driving an hour to work through nasty traffic to sit and answer phones, solve minor employee squabbles, flip burgers or empty someones garbage bins. THATS REAL PEOPLE of Orange County! That guy who comes into the department at 4pm every day to empty the trash and clean the bathrooms, who goes to school full time, has a second job after this one, who trys to make ends meet while bettering his own knowledge. Give me those people any day! The "odd men out"! 

I'll shut up now.
