Man vs. Gossip Girl

I have recently been introduced to the famous tv show "Gossip Girl" aka GG.  I have to admit, I was wary at first, but after a few episodes I began to get that itch that is so common at the beginning of a new series addiction. By the end of season 1 I was a full on addict and I needed help. I knew, like all the times before, that when I ended this show I was going to go through a massive case of withdraws from watching so many episodes so quickly. Normally I would talk about this show to other people to let off some of the steam but since it is GG and I am a man, I am somewhat shy of showing my true secrets. This is what I wanted to share in today's blog. Why should men be ashamed of liking shows like GG, The Vampire Diaries, One Tree Hill, Dawsons Creek, and I could go on. But being a man and liking these shows is almost contradicting characteristics. I choose to believe you can be a "manly" man and still appreciate a good love story. I think liking some Jane Austen or Nicholas Sparks is perfectly fine, but then so should liking a good old fashioned melodramatic tv show about angst teenagers and their love lives. Maybe I am the exception, besides, my favorite movie is Casablanca.

Heres to you Chuck Bass
