Screech Goes Out An Idiot

He started the Celebrity Fit Club with a horrible attitude and it just got worse until last night when he lashed out against Cledus T. Judd and Da Brat in personal attacks.

He is an idiot and probably one of the most miserable people formerly on TV. He is lonely and seems to want to make people mad instead of making friends. Not just mad but mad for no reason at all other than to cause drama!

Why would you wanna be like that? He is going to die alone and unloved but I still bet that VH1 will find a way to make a reality show out of him and his antics since people just want to love to hate this guy. Dustin Diamond is still a miserable individual.

Ice Road Truckers....wow what a great show that is! This is a History Channel show about the road built on lakes between Yellow Knife and the diamond mines about three hundred miles north in Canada's Northwest Territories. It is a take off of Deadliest Catch on Discovery Channel.

The lakes are usually frozen solid and sixty days is the window to get ten thousand loads of
supplies to the mines before it starts to heat up again. Talk about harrowing, when you are driving on the frozen lake road the ice cracks in front of you, there is the danger of winds which cause a white out and you can't see....at night!

The trucker is really the last cowboy and these guys are elite among truckers. They create a backstory for the truckers they ride with which consists of veterans and rookies who have never driven over the ice before while they keep track of how many loads have been hauled on a scoreboard.

Anyone who knows me knows my dad was a trucker when I was growing up until I was a teen. I grew up around trucks and truck stops. There will always be a special place for me for truckers. I have my taste for obscure country music (Red Sovine, Tom T Hall, Johnny Cash, Dave Dudley, well you get the picture) because of it and a love for the open road.

This is a great show that captures that freewheeling daredevil spirit, especially when the lake you are driving on is over two hundred and fifty feet deep.
