Sister Wives Season Finale

So yesterday I watched the Season Finale of Sister Wives. On the finale Robyn gets married to Kody. Robyn thought it would be fair and special to include all the wives (Meri, Janelle, & Christine) in wedding planning. The wives were able to choose their own flowers & dresses and also helped Robyn select her reception location. Robyn, while at the dress shop pretended to look at wedding gowns and didn't tell the wives that she had already selected a dress with Kody. During a couch session Kody announces to the wives that he has actually seen the dress and was there with Robyn when she selected the dress. The wives are upset and Christine actually leaves the set after hearing of this. My thoughts... TLC did a great job with Sister Wives. The show was not over dramatic at all and at the same time it made me want to watch the show because I was curious to see how all these people tolerate one another. I was surprised that none of the wives had a problem with one another and didn't mind sharing Kody. What makes me mad and I'm sure other viewers agree, is that the wives fuss over little things instead of big things, Christine especially. On one episode the wives were upset to find out that Kody kissed Robyn before they were married. How can one possible be upset with a kiss when he kisses, licks, and bangs (exclude my language) other women all day? Him KISSING another woman that he plans on marrying would be the least of my worries. The wedding dress "scandal", to me that was the straw that broke the camels back. Why does Robyn have to share EVERYTHING with the other wives, just because she's coming into the family? OK OK I get it Robyn is not just marrying Kody she is marrying all of us so we should be included, NO that is not how it works, well at least not in my book. I think the ladies have some serious jealously issues that they hide and try not to show because they have chosen that lifestyle. I just believe the ladies release those jealously issues at the wrong time. I wish the family the best of luck, it seems as though the BROWN family is a happy clan.

Student Suicide

Tyler Clementi committed suicide after he was taped by his roommate having sex with another man. Tyler was a freshman student at Rutgers University and had only been there a month. According to news reports Dharun Ravi, Tyler's roommate, tweeted "Roomate asked for the room till midnight. I went into Mollys room and turned on webcam. I saw him making out with a dude.Yay" Tyler's facebook status read "Jumping off the gw bridge sorry". Police found Tyler's body along with his wallet and student id card. Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei have been charged with two counts each of invasion of privacy. Dharun faces two additional counts of invasion of privacy for attempting to use the camera to view and transmit another sexual encounter involving the same student. My thoughts... bullying has to stop and I think Ravi and Molly should be held accountable for their actions. However, I do not think Ravi is to blame for Tyler committing suicide, nor do I think our government is to blame. As a child who was bullied by schoolmates, I never told my teacher and I never told my parents. Sure my feelings were hurt everyday and the huge gap between my teeth wasn't getting any smaller, but I never once thought about committing suicide. What was done to Tyler is not even a fair comparison to my bullying experience, but in both situations society turned a blind eye to bullying, almost as if it's a rite of passage. There is a lack of compassion or even etiquette when it comes to bullying. No one came up to me after I was teased and said "Don't worry everything will be ok". It makes me wonder if anyone went up to Ravi and Molly and said " You guys are sick and losers, I will be reporting this to school authorities and I hope you both get expelled" or did anyone go up to Tyler and say " Hey man what they did was wrong and I know you are hurting right now, but I'm here with you"? RIP Tyler Clementi

6 Year old Banned from Cheerleading

When I first saw the headline for this story, I said to myself how in the world did this little girl get kicked out of cheerleading? Here is the story; 6 year old is in cheerleading squad, mom goes to games and is annoyed by the cheers, one cheer in particular.

My Back hurts
My skirts to tight
My booty shakes from left to right.

Mom goes to parents meeting or approaches the coach and states how she feels little girls should not state words like the above mentioned, especially little girls shaking their booty's, it sends the wrong message. Mother being a cheerleader when she was younger gives coach new cheers to replace the old one. The coach/squad determines instead of changing the words to just kick the six year old off the squad. Mother is outraged at this and there is a big meeting with all squad parents and at the meeting  the six year old is allowed back on the squad, but the cheer remains the same. Mother determines this is not for her child and six year old is no longer cheerleading. My thoughts, keep in mind that I am a fur mommy; I commend the mom for sticking to her guns, if you don't like the cheers take your child out of the environment.  I think most parents would have allowed their child to stay in the squad, but continued to complain about the cheers. Question, do these children even know what those words mean? I agree with the mom that these words could be sending the wrong message, but the wrong message to whom, if these girls don't even understand what they are saying. I agree with the cheerleading squad/coach, just because one person disagrees with a cheer doesn't mean  I am going to change the whole routine. If I cater to one parent then I have to cater to all parents. I'm not saying just because she is the coach that automatically means she is right; what I am saying is if you do not agree with the coach, maybe you should go elsewhere.

Paris Hilton: Lastest Stunt

Paris Hilton and her boyfriend driving a SUV got pulled over by a cop when he smelled marijuana coming out of her vehicle. While Paris and company were pulled over tourist began to crowd them and Paris asked could she go inside a hotel to use the bathroom. Paris asked one of the officers for her purse so she could put some lip balm on, as he handed her the purse a little bag containing cocaine fell out. She stated at first it was gum and then it was her friends bag. My thoughts, first if you are going to LIE get your story straight, how many other criminals already stated its not my purse, its not my bag and got BUSTED. Secondly, if it is your purse and you don't have a good excuse for carrying around coke besides snorting it, don't say anything at all. If a cop asks you a question you don't have to say anything, you can say I want to speak to a lawyer. Paris Hilton you of all people should have known better. Finally, if this wasn't Paris Hilton there would have been NO SPECIAL TREATMENT. I don't give a flying fruit cake who she is, all suspected criminals should be treated equally in the eyes of the law. A non-celebrity would not be allowed to go into a hotel to get a breather just because he/she were being surrounded by nosey citizens, they have a right to look. I think the cops should be reprimanded as well in this situation, because they don't know how to follow proper procedures. I also think some cops make up rules as a suspect is apprehended based on their appearance, this situation being proof.

Miss Universe 2010

Hey  Yall.. I know I am late with this topic but I had been meaning to write about Miss Philippines Venus Raj answer to a question that could have cost her the crown. The question asked; What was the one big mistake that you did in your life? And what did you do to make it right? Her answer; In my 22 years of existence there is nothing major major problem I've done because I'm confident in myself and my family. My thoughts OK that was a poor answer and its obvious that she should have answered the question in her native tongue. To all those individuals who thought her answer was good you are wrong as well. This is Miss Universe not a Tween Pageant were this answer would have probably sufficed. First off if you never made a big mistake in your life MAKE UP SOMETHING, make it sound believable and good. Second off  answer the question better than  there is nothing major that I have done, what you should have said was, I was raised with strong morals and values and have a strong since of pride in my upbringing so I would never cause shame to my family or friends. If I made a mistake I did learn from it whether it was not studying for a test or telling a little white lie.. something on the lines of this. Finally, this question was not about what other people perceived what a "big" mistake was, it could have been as simple as spoiling your dog by overfeeding it or running red lights at night because no one was around, its not about how big the mistake was but how you learned and grew from it. You feel me??

Behind the Music: Fantasia Barrino

Did you catch the episode featuring Fantasia on Behind the Music? The story was very uplifting, I always liked Fantasia and I wish her much success. The story chronicles her life up to the recent drug overdose. She states how all through her life she had  bad experiences with men, her baby father beat her, her dad sued her, and her latest boyfriend was still married to his wife and was named as a source for causing the breakup of their marriage. My thoughts .. We cant choose how we are brought into this world, but we can learn forgiveness and I would be very upset if my father ever sued me. In regards to the men we allow to come into our lives this is a lesson for all female we all need to be highly selective of who we lay down with. Not saying that this is a fool proof plan, because recently on the TO show TO's friend was celibate for 8 months to only give it up to a man she was dating who was MARRIED!! TO's friend didn't try to kill herself she dropped his behind to the curb. Fantasia you have a beautiful voice, a real gift and a beautiful girl don't let it get to you. Ladies no man or drama is worth your life. 

Hoarders

I loathe Hoarders, even though I can't relate. It's so addicting to watch how these people live, unable to use the bathroom or cook food because of the amount of things they have collected and have no place to put them. From watching the show I really believe hoarding is a mental condition and these people need serious help. Some of the individuals have been hoarding so long that family members have not seen nor been in there houses for years. The things these people collect are outrageous. My thoughts... OK so I know hoarding is a disease but when people hoard ANIMALS and TRASH, I think you are just ridiculous. This one lady had over 60 dogs and cats living in a trailer. She seemed to rotate the dogs in and out of their cages. When they were let out they defecated all over the trailer and she was constantly picking up the mess but it was always there. She even put down paper as if that was going to help in the process of cleaning up when you have 60 dogs going everywhere. Family members came over the house and the stench was unbearable people had to leave, and to think someone was actually living there. The only up side to this story in my opinion was that these animals had a place to stay and she appeared to love all of them. This other family had mounds and mounds of trash everywhere in their house it was so trife, I was about to throw up. They ate out everyday and would leave the leftover drinks and McDonald's bags all over the house. There were bugs everywhere, even in the refrigerator. How could anyone not clean up trash? It takes two seconds to throw something away. And to top it all off she spent 2500$ on a PLASTIC HORSE and didn't pay for a cleanup service how crazy is that. I don't have any sympathy for these people. If one of my immediate family members lived like that I would get them evicted, strongly suggest they see a psychiatrist and then clean that filthy house.

Salon Charges Customer Extra Five Dollars Because She's Fat

A nail salon in Georgia, charged Michelle Fonville, 40, an additional FIVE dollars because she is overweight. The salon, NATURAL NAILS in Lithonia GA ( I had to put there name out there) charged her an extra 5 dollars because there chair according to the manufacturer has a 200lb weight limit and cost 2500$ to repair. My thoughts... Sad but true this is probably not the first or the last time this will happen at that nail salon. The charge of five dollars in my opinion is ridiculous because if you had any doubt that I was going to break your chair why would you charge me 5 dollars why not just tell me to leave or better yet charge me the 2500$ it cost to replace the chair if I broke it, don't try to insult my intelligence by charging me a five dollar fine for being overweight. I think the owners of this salon thought that were going to get away with it, Michelle asked for a receipt then questioned the mysterious charge and that's how she found out. I would have cussed them out for saying I was too big but then willing to take my money. Money has no size. Natural Nails told Michelle that she was not allowed to come back because she was too big; there are plenty of other nail salons Michelle that would be glad to take your money no matter what size or shape. Michelle said she was going to protest the store, now I personally would not go that far, just tell family and friends what happened and people will listen, hey it got to ABC news so someone thought it was worth noting. Honestly this is a real sticky situation because if I was the owner of the nail salon and I thought that someone was going to break my chair I would have explained to Michelle that we could not give her a pedicure for the risk of damaging our chairs but we can use one of our less expensive chairs to do her feet. If Michelle popped off and got upset than so be it, but at least I explained from the beginning and I didn't charge a mysterious FIVE DOLLAR FEE.

Bridezillas: Stephanie and Alex

I absolutely Love Bridezillas, there will be numerous posts about Bridezillas especially if I see something that is ridiculous or extremely entertaining. OK so on the new episode Stephanie got married and Alex was introduced. First off I know Stephanie is in a sorority; which one I don't know. First, I thought she was Delta because she had a red car and the show kept referencing hers to being a Diva, then when she said her colors were blue and white I was like she must be a Zeta. Either way I am very curious. Deboris and Stephanie looked like a great couple and I wish them much success and happiness. On too Alex, I don't know where Alex is from to be exact I believe Ohio and she and her fiance looked like bff, but she treats her family and friends like crap. 1. She took away her soon to be stepmother-in-law boutonniere away without even consulting her fiance first, in order to add extra flowers to the couples table 2. Told the people at the wedding venue if her BLOOD sister tries to get in her wedding to ask her sister to leave 3. Tried to smack her mother, and cursed her out when she was unable to accomplish the smack down. My thought, is Bridezilla fame really worth your humiliation in front of the entire nation? Do you want your co-workers or even worse your in-laws to see how you behave when they probably didn't even meet you yet? No self respecting person would behave in this manner for 3,000$ dollars and pictures and videos of your wedding it's just not right. Do you think you're going to be a star from Bridezilla? I think not, reality TV show people like Jersey Shore (I can't wait to blog about them), Bad Girls, Ochocinco, this people act a mess but they actually get compensated better than Bridezillas. So if you want to act a fool at least go on one of these less than classy..Trashy, but we all love to watch shows. At least people will expect you to act out.

Night

At first I was not sure if I should write about Night, but it is an EXCELLENT read and is a part of Oprah's Book Club. Night by Eliezer Wiesel is about his experiences living in the Nazi German concentration camps at Auschwitz and Buchenwald in 1944-1945. I will not write anymore about the story because I think everyone should read the story, I cried throughout the book but I am very emotional. Believe it or not Elie tells the reader that at one point no one wanted to publish his book and it took years for people to actually start reading it and its GREAT. My thoughts; I related this book to reading/watching Roots. No one will ever know the hardships a group of oppressed people experienced but we can attempt to educate ourselves by reading someones first accounts of the events..(does that make sense). Its a shame how in today's educational systems we don't read more about native American, slavery and the Holocaust. ESPECIALLY Native Americans and Slavery because that deals directly with America. What I like about Eli is that he continues to speak about the Holocaust even to the ignorant people who think it never even happened (Yes they exist). He has so much pride and he is not ashamed. I too have a lot of pride in my culture and I wish more black people took more pride in themselves as well. To know where my people came from and to even look at my grandparents I just want to continue to make them proud.

Were Ready for More

Even if you don't watch the show Nighteen Kids & Counting or is it Twenty Kids and Counting I am pretty sure you know who Michelle & Jim Bob (MJB) Duggar are, or do you?? They have at least nighteen kids I am pretty sure of that. The show gives viewer's a  view of how it feels to raise all of their kids, which BTW Michelle has all given birth too. This blog is not about the show, but about the article Were Ready for More in Peoples Magazine. The article talks mainly about the new arrival of Josie Duggar who was born prematurely and stayed in the hospital for a considerable amount of time. The article also goes into detail about MJB feelings on having some many children and the public reaction to their lives. MJB state how they believe all children are a blessing and if Gods wants them to have more children they will continue to have them and they do not care what anyone thinks accept GOD. AGREED. Also MD commented on how some of the remarks made by the public actually hurt her feelings because she knows some of the comments are true; especially ones on how there is not enough hours in the day to spend with ALL the children and how the older ones have no life because they are raising all the younger ones. My thoughts, MJB Duggar are a strong Christian family and if they want to continue to have kids so be it. As far as MJB not having enough time to spend with there little ones if I was # 10 let alone # 17 I would be happy just BEING BORN, because my mother and most mothers would have stopped a long time ago. Finally, MJB if the public makes remarks about your life and they hurt your feelings because they are true, that is the sacrifice that you made when you went public with your entire life. Your family is getting paid to endure these types of hardships, if you want to go crawl behind a rock than don't put your business out on front street because now you cant. My parents taught me if I don't have anything nice to say then don't say it all, and if you have to be honest and it might hurt someones feelings at least try to say things nicely. MJB most people in America are not like that so suck it up, when your in the lime light you have to  have tough skin. So if its too hot than get out the kitchen or in your circumstance tell the cameras to go somewhere else.
