I think they try to pack way too much information in very small segments. Although they want to have lots of information, everything just seems rushed and cut-off.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Whenever they have a guest appear on the show, all the people step on each others toes and interrupt one another. Once someone is about to reveal some interesting information, they get cut off and go to commercials. I don't know why the guests come on the show just to be interrupted and bottled up!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All the topics they cover are only summarized and usually common-sense information is given. Over the last week, I have learned maybe one or two facts from their segments about topics such as job-hunting, dieting, pets, and organization skills.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Today, I watched a segment about food. They covered food from pizza to pasta to bagels to hot dogs -- all in a 5 minute segment. The guest was talking to fast and the hosts were just moving past the items so fast I didn't even have time to comprehend what was happening. These food iteams are all completely different and they just packed them all into the segment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After turning off the television, I felt like I needed to drink 4 cups of coffee, run two miles, and just start doing stuff because the TV was so full of useless energy!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm looking for a little more quality and not quantity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6711603459965909312-8989278220396081390?l=vahidazam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vahidazam.blogspot.com/feeds/8989278220396081390/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://vahidazam.blogspot.com/2009/05/television-too-much.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6711603459965909312/posts/default/8989278220396081390'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6711603459965909312/posts/default/8989278220396081390'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vahidazam.blogspot.com/2009/05/television-too-much.html' title='Television: Too much'/><author><name>Vahid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15941667984862084202</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711603459965909312.post-7649801803547034357</id><published>2009-04-08T11:22:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-04-08T11:33:51.890-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Halo Artwork</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T3KotxpvBRE/SdzRsOU6agI/AAAAAAAAAJE/DNpLPPfQIgo/s1600-h/Poster+Outside+(Large).JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T3KotxpvBRE/SdzRsOU6agI/AAAAAAAAAJE/DNpLPPfQIgo/s400/Poster+Outside+(Large).JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322359417335343618" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;So I thought one of the first posts of my blog could be a bit of artwork I did while I was still in college. We had a video-gaming club on campus and I worked on a poster for a Halo tournament they were hosting. Most of it was done with acryllic paint and the background was done using spray paint.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6711603459965909312-7649801803547034357?l=vahidazam.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://vahidazam.blogspot.com/feeds/7649801803547034357/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://vahidazam.blogspot.com/2009/04/halo-artwork.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6711603459965909312/posts/default/7649801803547034357'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6711603459965909312/posts/default/7649801803547034357'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vahidazam.blogspot.com/2009/04/halo-artwork.html' title='Halo Artwork'/><author><name>Vahid</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15941667984862084202</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_T3KotxpvBRE/SdzRsOU6agI/AAAAAAAAAJE/DNpLPPfQIgo/s72-c/Poster+Outside+(Large).JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
