American Chopper

I’m not devoted to anything on television. I never want to arrange life around something being on TV.

However, there are things I like. I missed Oprah on Letterman the other night and I wanted to see that.

One thing I always stop on when I’m flipping channels is American Chopper. I’m not sure why I like it so much, but I do. I’d strangle Paul, and send Mikey to therapy, but I like the show.

I wonder why people like various shows. This has multiple appeal. For people who are in to choppers, or mechanics, it’s obvious. But, for people like me who don’t know squat about such things, there’s the human drama.

Something else I’ve noticed is that everyone thinks the various characters are right or wrong and can identify with different ones.

My former bf used to say Paulie was lazy. I think Paulie is the misunderstood creative genius. It’s all how you relate, I guess.
