I submitted my latest Survivor Video on Sunday (For Seasons 51 / 52). I took a simple approach this time and just talked for a few minutes. I simply spoke on how I have been a fan of Survivor since the beginning and would love the chance to be a contestant on a future season. Applying for Survivor is kind of paralleling my search for a new job. Whether it’s a video or a resume, I find it hard to promote and sell myself when not in person. I really feel that if the decision makers at Survivor, or any of the companies I have applied to could take some time to meet me liveand in person (or a live video call), they would see what a great, nice, interesting and loyal person I am and realize everything I would bring to the show or compnay.

Here are a links to and older Survivor videos I had submitted as well as the short video my daughter made about my Survivor journey over the past 25 years

As for the world, the more I hear or see things, the more I get myself confused. Seeing people react oppositely to things that seem simple and straightforward to me is starting to mess with my mind. Add to that that lots of smart people seem to simply be shrugging off the things they don’t understand or don’t want to get involved with, and this is becoming dangerous. We need to ask follow-up questions and not be afraid to discuss things that may be uncomfortable

There are opinions (which everybody is allowed to have), and there are facts. And while some facts may have different interpretations, there are lots of facts that should not and cannot be argued against. But we are now in a time where the average person does not believe anything trained journalists, subject matter experts, or years of research show as true.

It’s crazy how much time and energy is spent by people trying to disprove things for reasons such as “Since I don’t believe it, it must not be true.”, and “I’m an expert of this or that, and you don’t know what you’re talking about”.

I really liked the way 60 Minutes dedicated the last minute of Sunday’s episode to the ongoing story about the resignation of Bill Owens last week. Taking a shot at their parent company, Paramount, as well as how the ongoing merger needs government approval, was one of the main reasons for the resignation. it shows that there is still some journalist who care about the truth, and are not going to change their principle beliefs in exchange for money or power

And to all the people (or the jerks who like to flood things with bots) who took their time and energy to flood to X and scream and yell how they hate 60 minutes, how it’s run by liberals who hate the world, and how its been irrelivent for the past 30 years (yet apparently you’re still watching), I would like to say “Your not being smart or clever or funny. You are more of a sad fool who needs to get out more enjoy something. And also, the world is not an awful place, people are not out to try and make you feel bad,

Average Andy Out

PS – Not that it really matters, but the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame again showed that they are a bit clueless and out of touch with the general public. Congratulations to all the new inductees, it is well deserved. But the people in charge of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame need to get off their high horse and start to acknowledge the many artists and bands that play a style of music that forever reason you don’t like, appreciate, or understand.
