Shallow Gal
Remember the movie Shallow Hal? Well, I realized tonight that I am a shallow gal. I settled down for an evening of mindless TV ,(Trading Spouses), only to find that there was a Presidential Speech on instead. I was really, really ticked. That's when it hit me: I would honestly and truly rather watch a rerun of Trading Spouses than the leader of our country give a speech on Iraq.
What makes this truly pathetic is that my family has a long history of military service, my son is enlisted in the military, and I have always considered myself to be a rather patriotic American. The only way to explain this dichotomy is: I am shallow.
I think what bothers me the most is the fact that I am not bothered by the fact that I aught to be bothered. I'm not sure that sentence makes any sense, but hey, I'm shallow so I don't care.
