t.v. star, I'm lazy, and it seems like an easier way to make a living. I learn lines easy, can't act very well, but, it's t.v. You don't necesarily have to be able to act, can blame the suits and the writers when things suck. On the other hand, being a popular musician could spoil the fun of being a musician--it would be hard not to get caught up in the marketing/popularity thing, even just as a game, but it would start to make you think about choices that way, even just ironically, still, there it is.

T.v. isn't all so bad, it's young yet. people used to think literature was junk, evil, a waste of time, and they were probably mostly right. I used to like nypd blue, and it won all these awards, but I've never met anyone who's ever seen it.

So here's the tv career I want. I want to host live shows like when Geraldo Rivera opened Capone's secret vault, (empty) or the live National Geographic show I saw the other day when a robot drilled through a stone wall in a pyramid to find... another stone door. Highly suspenseful hyped-up moments leading to nothing--call it EmpTv.
