My parents are currently on their way to Nashville for the game. Dad bought the tickets before the season started and they've decided to make the trip even though our team is awful. I'm slightly jealous of the trip, not so much because of the game, but mainly because they're making a trip through Amish country on their way up.
For some reason, my sisters, cousins and I have always had a strange obsession with the Amish. If there's a movie, documentary or television series or special portraying Amish life, I'll watch it. I want my own Rumpspringa. In that event that you too enjoy such programming, Devil's Playground is hands down the best documentary on the Amish I've seen to date. Maybe some of you have seen TLC's newest reality television endeavour, Breaking Amish.

The basic premise of the show is that it documents the lives of four Amish and one Mennonite as they leave their districts and head to New York City to experience "the real world". Spoiler alert--they are all certifiably nuts. I wouldn't be surprised if they were actually asked to leave their districts due to mental instability. With that being said, I can't turn away. If you're finding that Sunday night television is a little slow in your home, tune in to TLC at 9:00 p.m. And yes, I am aware that some people claim that she show is a lie. All reality television is a lie, in some form or fashion. If it helps to ease the pain of a quickly approaching Monday morning, lie to me all you like.
I'll leave you with a link to the funniest tweets over the last few days, as determined by Happy Place. I find that a little mindless entertainment on a Friday can be beneficial to one's well-being. Happy Place.
P.S. - I'm editing the tag line on the blog to reflect the fact that I don't have a whole lot to say about our football team. For the time being, you'll have to put up with my random musings. My apologies.
