My New Favorite TV Show

Ok - so the wife-unit went up and bought a couple of converter boxes for our television in preparation for The New World Order's mandatory "update" of all televisions to High Definition. So got our coupons from the government, spent money we shouldn't have really had to spend and now we're updated.

So here's the deal.

1. Yes the channels are clearer (for the most part).

2. Sometimes channels don't really come in at all (they break up - like when you're trying to watch Dish Television when it rains).

But...(and this is the best part)

3. We get extra channels!!! (Probably not that big of a deal for most of you - but when the wife-unit says I don't get to have cable because it's a luxury we can't afford - extra channels is huge!)

We get this channel called "ION Life" and one day my wife says I should watch this guy who does stuff like kayaking or cleaning his grill when not making crap out of antlers for his cabin. She says she thinks he might be gay - which just makes the show cooler.

It's called "The Weekend Guy" and here is the official website -

Turns out he's not gay...he's just Canadian.

I don't know why the show fascinates me. He doesn't really do much and his show is pretty far down on the production values, but he has this sincerity that just shines through. It's like watching a kid in a school production, where they might not be the best kid, but they don't know that and because they're just having a damn good time that makes them the coolest kid to watch.

So, all I've got to say is keep up the work Weekend Guy!
