Why do parents to this to their children?

My blog is all about humor and I love people watching and yes I admit I make fun of people but I am also always the first to poke fun at myself. I was looking through pictures and I came across this little gem.....YES THIS IS ME!!! here I am in all my glory as an 11 year old. Tell me WHY...WHY would my mother not only dress me like Micheal Jackson's illigitamint child. but she also handed me a stuffed animal and PAID for these picture. Parents, is this your way of getting back at your children when they disobey? a sort of LAST LAUGH if you would. Please if you are a parent don't do this to another child they must be saved! and if you are a child please stop doing whatever it is that is causing your parents to be so upset at you that they want to get back at you this bad. That is just my thought on the matter.

I miss when TV was actually good

If I see a commercial for Jersey Shore one more time I will scream. since when is acting like a douche and sleeping around with as many people as possible considered entertainment. Even Saturday morning cartoons have been taken over by Hana Montana and other garbage. I miss watching scripted shows! when survivor came on the air I didn't know that ALL we would have available to watch is reality shows.. I can watch reality looking out my window and believe me it's more entertaining. And isn't TV supposed to help you escape reality? I really don't want to turn on my TV and look at someone as ugly as Flavor Flav trying to find love...newsflash Flav THEY LIKE YOU BECAUSE YOUR RICH!!! there is no women in the world who would kiss that without thinking there is an amazing payday at the end of all this.

Granted some of the old shows we watched back in the day were corny. I can't even watch Full House without gagging. but we did have great shows...Cosby Show, Different World, Family Matters, Fresh Prince,Boy Meets World, Doug, Thundercats, Rugrats, Snorks, Gummy Bears, 3rd Rock from the sun the list can go on and on.

I will leave you with an homage to one of my fave shows back in the day. (I've always wanted to be a doctor and I actually got a grant that would pay for my first four years of college at a big university) I would watch this show and escape. Its interesting because it was way ahead of its time the main character would blog at the end of every show. It was one of my faves and maybe its was yours. So TV execs please understand that there are consumers out here that would enjoy quality programming! I mean who wants to pay for cable when what they are showing on screen you can watch for free if you go to your local Frat house? That's just my thought on the matter.

What SHOULD make a person Attractive?

We live in a time when so much emphasis is put on how we physically look. Cosmetic surgery is a billion dollar industry and with shows like bridalplasty and celebrities plastering the cover of magazines it's no wonder people have forgotten what is important.

My aunt posted something on her facebook that really got me thinking. "When I was coming up, nobody ever wondered if they were "sexy."Every woman looked a certain way when they were dressed up. Every man, too. Haircut, shoes shined, clean shirt. Women....... Stockings, lipstick, a hint of perfume (a hint )It was about self respect....... For yourself and for others...... No cussin' fighting or talking about folks. Unheard of, and most especially not in front of kids."

It is very important to have respect and take pride in yourself before you expect anyone else too. I am so tired of seeing women dress like street walkers and getting offended when someone calls them out of their name. If your house was on fire and you see someone walking down the street in a firemen uniform you would shout out for help wouldn't you? What If they say "oh I'm sorry did you really think I was a firemen because of my outfit" WELL YES!!!! keep that in mind ladies DRESS FOR HOW YOU WANT TO BE PERCEIVED! Guys if you want to be taken seriously please PULL UP YOUR PANTS it's not attractive, no women wants you when you look like a baby who has a load in their pants.

What you are in the inside is what really matters the most. Beauty fades but ugly stays forever. Now you shouldn't go out and pick out the ugliest person just because they have a great personality I mean you have to be SOMEWHAT attracted to your partner. But it's s know fact when you have qualities like Honest,Self-Control, Mildness, Kindness, Joy, And Love your stock goes WAY UP in a attractiveness.

SO Gen Y please take note of what our elders have to say. They have been around for a while and really know what they are talking about. That's just my thought on the matter.

Creepers

We all know a person who just creeps you out, whether it's a person who keeps shaking your hand after pleasantries have been exchanged, the person who barely shakes your hand, or the person who awkwardly stares you down. What's really bad is that in the new millennium we have the wonder of facebook that allows creepers to invade your space all the time. It's really sad that we seem to feel obligated to accept a friend request from people we really don't care to converse with( no I really don't care how your facial hair you shaved off fell into the sink and formed a shape of the Mona Lisa...oh and thanks for tagging me in the pic)

We must all unite and put these creepers in their place.....the creeper list and before you say there is no such thing check the signs. Can you only see a "friend" Info page. Have they told you that they "no longer" have a wall. My friend you've been put in your place THE CREEPER LIST!

Let's Talk Shoes

A good friend of mine sent me this pic and I fell in love! What is it about shoes that makes a women go CRAZY? Could it be the fine Italian leather of a pair christian louboutins, the wonderful designs of Jimmy Choo or the affordability of Payless( that right I said payless, they are amazing and have started carrying designs from Christian Siriano)


But I believe the main reason we as women torture ourselves is for the recognition. There is nothing that can come close to the feeling you get when you've spent a long day in your heels and your taking baby steps to your car. You look up and see another women walking the same way. You see each others pain cringed face and immediately look down. You give the nod and there are no need for words. You know what that nod means....I FEEL YOU PAIN.....BUT GIRL YOUR SHOES ARE STILL FABULOUS.

Keep rocking those shoes ladies. Who needs feeling in your feet when they look good and that's my thought on the matter.

Roll your eyes at me one more time!

Is it just me or has customer service really gone down hill. I don't understand why people seem to get upset when you asked them to do things that are included in their job description? They treat you like you've invaded their home, sat on their sofa, took the remote control from them and demanded they make you a cup of coffee that was specially made in Paris so they had to fly there and retrieve it for you.

I am quite aware that there are plenty of people who think that the literal translation of customer service =Personal slave. However, there are some people that are very nice and would just like you to do the job your paid to do without attitude. I have had my share of customer service jobs and I know first hand how difficult it can be. That being said I think I have found a way to stop the rolling of the eyes, the ignoring and down right rudeness. I figured out this wonderful solution when dealing with my 13 year old sister a couple of months. I took her on a weekend trip to Naples we went shopping and had a great time. On the way back we stopped for lunch and like most 13 year olds she got and attitude because the sun was out. She proceeded to be very rude and my blood was boiling, the only way I could think of dealing with her and and getting a chance to speak was to flick her right dead in the forehead!!!! Granted this action pretty much put me on her level but I got her attention. Her face was priceless. It's was confusion and terror all in one. It was like she was thinking what could anyone do that would make a grown person so upset that the only way they know how to deal with you is to regress to being a 13 year old just to get you to listen. All I could do was give her a look like YEP, THAT JUST HAPPENED.

So the next time your getting your coffee, trying to fix your cell phone, returning clothes(that you shouldn't have bought in the first place but you could return it so what's the harm) act like a 13 year old and get one good flick In and I bet they won't role their eyes anymore. That's just my thought on the matter.

Manic Monday

I wish it were Sunday! I do this to myself every week. I seem to dread the inevitable. I know that Monday is coming and yet I seem unable to prepare myself for the craziness that always ensues on Monday. Yes everyone knows that this is the beginning of the week and that no one wants to go to work and yet we always updated our twitter and facebook statues to make sure that the masses know how unhappy we are to get out of bed.... WELL NO MORE!!! I am going to make it my aim to look at Mondays like they are Friday's...HEY THERE MONDAY LOOKING GOOD! I THINK I'LL HAVE ANOTHER :)
