not having a super cool job like the Man vs Food guy, Bert the Conquerer, Ghost Adventures, Dhani Jones, etc etc. Even the Blues Clues main host makes a ton of money.
I cook a ton, and I'm fantastic at it. Why don't I have my own cooking show?
Seriously! How am I not finding these jobs?

Are you actively looking for them? Oprah is going around right now looking for her next 'project celebrity'...go make yourself a pitch video and send it in! I'll look for more info for you...

Well, no! I want it to fall in my lap. But, no, seriously, I'm not actively looking. I think this came about over the last 6 months or so when I started paying attention to shows like The Wiggles, Blues Clues, Man vs Food, Bert the Conquerer, etc. And I thought, "Geez! I can do that! I'd love to do that!" I watch a ton of cooking shows and always think that I could easily do a cooking show. And then I follow Man vs. Food and there's quite a few things that he eats that I couldn't easily tackle also. Then I watched Bert the Conquerer and that broke the straw. I mean the guy goes on roller coasters and bungee jumps...stuff I love and makes a good living doing it. I think my delimma that I came across as I'm seriously thinking about looking into it is where do I even start looking for jobs like that. I have a degree in education and have worked with kids in one way or another for the last 12 years. I could easily host a kids TV show. I like to cook, have done so for years, and am very creative�I could host a cooking show. I can eat massive amounts of food�I could easily do Man vs Food shows. I love adrenaline rushes�I could do Bert the Conquerer. Speaking of Man vs Food, I�m currently working on a 6 pd burger, fries, and beverage challenge for the end of this month. I�m doing well getting ready for it. I had a 3 pd omelet this morning, then ate a banana, and then chugged 42 ounces of water. I could seriously do Man vs Food�granted I�d have to exercise more than I do now to keep that gut down. But I�m up for the challenge.

I really don't envy that guy's toilet, though.
Adam from Man vs. Food just seems to get bigger and bigger...I mean, seriously, how is he not 500 pounds by now?!

I will not spend my life this way.

And, I'd hope he's getting exercise. But I did think about that myself. I could do it without getting fat...it'd be about calorie manipulation. I doubt he does that though
