Seriously.. there is NO music anymore. They completely lost sight of what they are supposed to be. It's all The Hills and drama now. I mean, I love the real world and the challenges.. those are iconic. But, what happened to everything else?

awesomejen: I'm sorry you're having a change of heart. You're not alone, I think as a lot of us get closer to settling in career choices we've realized school is just a tool, it's not a solution. For me, it was a step in an area of interest. Unfortunately there aren't any instruction manuals to tell us that if you want to do this, then study this. I wish I had been given a better sense of direction, ya know?
Thanks! I wish someone had sat me down and pointed out that going to school for 4 years in political science was really useless. Don't get me wrong, I love politics, and I love my major...but there really aren't political scientists. And I have now realized that a buisness degree is much more powerful in the world...I could still go into politics with a buisness degree (I would be more competitve too), I could still go to law school. but it would also be useful in the world beyond law school and politics.

I guess life could be filled with shoulda, coulda, wouldas eh?

I was watching TRL the other day...even that doesn't have music...they play like 10 second clips of all the videos and talk the rest of the time...WTF

The only show I even watch on MTV anymore is America's Best Dance crew.

I am a diehard Jabbawockkeez fan.

Thats funny I noticed that yesterday. I was like huh what happened to trl? I never watch MTV anymore and honestly I think its kind of a joke that they even still have the VMA's the should have some kind reality TV awards or something. Even MTV2 plays lots of crap now. I used to get fuse which had video's a lot but my cable company droped it. What I wouldn't give for the days of Pauly Shore, Kurt Loader, and Kennedy!

Me too! When I was in high school I so wanted to go to TRL..I did it when I was 19, and though it didn't quite have the same meaning as it would have back in the day, it was still awesome...but I wouldn't do it now...

lol how crazy would that be! If that ever happens I will feel truly old yet cool. lol.
I agree with Court, I'd feel old. I was having a conversation with a girl at work today about ice skating (I don't know how we got there!). I mentioned the infamous Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding incident (why?! why?!) and the girl said she didn't remember it. I felt really ancient! Actually, I can't recall it that clearly since it happened when I was 8, but it was a big scandal back then, especially if you watched ice skating.
I am one of the youngest girls where I work (I'm 24 and the youngest is 18)..but over the summer we have a gal work part time and she's 19. Well we got to talking about toys and electronics that were around when we were kids vs what kids have nowadays. My friend Jess (the 18 yr old part-timer) had no idea what a typewriter was or how to use one! To me, that is crazy! To this day, she can barely use one and she hates to learn how! I just can't get over that! I think it's so funny because there is only five years between us..

Wow I feel ancient right now. Did she never watch "Murder she wrote?" with that typewriter in the opening credits? Well please don't ask her, I bet she would have told you she did not ever hear of that hoary TV show.
