Bloody

True Blood is truly one of the worst television shows I have ever seen.  Because Kelly insists on watching it (even though he admits it is terrible), I have now sat through two seasons of it.  It has some of the worst acting imaginable, predictable plot lines, and terrible dialogue writing.

I have to admit that when I was in Junior High I was pretty obsessed with vampires.  I read any books with vampires in the plot.  I was also obsessed with Christian Slater, so when Interview with a Vampire came out I was very thrilled.

This new batch of vampire obsession centered around the Twilight craze has less than interested me.  However, I sat down to watch True Blood because it was on HBO.  I love HBO series including SATC and Entourage.  This show is not even worthy to be on television at all let alone HBO.  The only cool part about the show is the opening titles and some of the marketing graphics.  This picture almost displays how bad the acting is.

This show has completely turned me away from anything with vampire and human relationships.  They just seem so campy and are not at all meant to be scary like their predecessors or science fiction like others.  They are just cheesy and predictable praying on fantasies of young women who fantasize about rough lovin'.  I just hope this phase ends soon.

She Wolf

So, on my lala the other day I stumbled upon Shakira's new single "She Wolf."  I accidently listened to the Spanish version first and thought, "Oh wow this is really cheesy.  Maybe the English version is better."  So, then I listened to it and thought, "Nope.  That was cheesy too.  This will never hear the light of day."  Then tonight I caught a little bit of the America's Got Talent Finale and saw her performance of this song.  Nick Cannon said it was her new hit.  I guess I just don't know what I'm talking about.

Dancing Dream

A dream died the other day.  I have, like most girls my age, had a dream of dancing with Patrick Swayze at just once in my life.  My chance passed away with an icon of my generation.  I'm very sad for his family and will be praying for them and their loss.

Small Sighted

I look at all of the problems that we are faced with right now that really seem to be overwhelming people (There are of course that elite group of unconcerned citizens that seem to have all the money and happiness they can muster since they are completely uninvolved in our societies issues or problems.) and I think about how short-sighted we have become. Why can't anyone see the bigger picture?


We are reforming health care by trying to create universal healthcare insurance somehow forgetting that there are numerous issues facing healthcare. The uninsured is just one of many strains on the healthcare system, but everyone has become focused on this one debate, those other issues are almost forgotten.
We are so concerned with the economic crisis, the GDP, job loss numbers, unemployment, and manufacturing and production forgetting that there is no longer a gold standard. We are merely passing around IOUs when we are fretting over the debt and problems of companies and nations. Commodities are even now nearly worthless, so what are we so upset about. If the entire system collapsed, what would be the big deal? We would no longer be able to live off of credit, but no one would be able to live off of credit so we would all be in the same situation. We would have to work where we live and buy the basics we need. Oh well! I don't need any of the crap that clutters my life. Not a novel thought I know. "Fight Club" deeply explores this, but in the midst of all of the panic, it is worth looking at the bigger picture.

Anytime I hear a news broadcast about any problem, I am reminded how narrow minded we all are thinking and the inability we have to look at the true root of the issue. Maybe you will start to notice it to. Next time the fear mongers of broadcast news tell you about what problem could be ailing your child, look to see if there is a bigger reason this is even an issue. I have an example, but I'll share it another time.

Julie Chen

I used to not be the biggest Julie Chen fan. It seemed like on Big Brother she was regularly clueless about what was actually going on in the house and she regularly screwed up when saying things. I remember once during an HOH competition, she messed up so badly that the entire HOH competition had to be scraped and a new one had to be done. That was during the All Star season.

She has redeemed herself this season as far as I'm concerned. I do not know if she has someone better writing her questions for her or if she is just paying better attention to her second gig. When Jeff was evicted from the house she would not let up on him about his very bad decision to backdoor Russel. He continued to say that he had to, "get out the bigger threat." Julie continued to ask him, if he thought that is why he was sitting out here talking to her. No, he would say, it was because I lost the veto competition.

Then, when asking Natalie about her HOH reign, Julie asked her only two questions. The first question she asked, "You have lied alot in this game, but who are you truly loyal to?" I thought it was awesome. Everyone knows what a liar Natalie is, but she has gone around the house claiming that she is the only honest person and that she is going to win the game with her integrity intact. What a bunch of bologna! Her second question was about Natalie lying that she was 18 to the whole house. I thought it was great that Julie didn't ask any questions like she normally does about how they like having the HOH bedroom or what they miss most about home. She just asked her why she was such a liar. It was great!

Julie is now my best friend!
