Reality tv

Reality tv is an oxymoron... and my reasoning for that is that reality tv is not really reality (is it me, or where there entirely too many "r's" in that sentence? (lol). I just don't think people are really being "real" on those shows. I mean, they obviously know that that cameras are on them all of the time, and people tend to act differently when they are being videotaped or even getting their picture taken. I was watching The REAL World (another oxymoron - lol), and was thinking to myself, "what a bunch of idiots." They all get together in hot tubs, run around naked and fornicate constantly. It is like one big orgy on that show half of the time. And it has even spread to those reality dating shows. Instead of being all innocent like The Dating Game, these dating games on tv, like Blind Date, are getting more and more like soft porn - lol. I would never do half of the things on a first date that those people do. I guess I am more old fashioned or just old - lol. Anyway, I guess if you want to watch some mindless tv for entertainment, just to see how stupid people can possibly be, then check out The Real World or Blind Date. I do admit that I kind of like The Newlyweds, only because Jessica Simpson is so ditzy, but then, so am I, so maybe that is why I like it. I have my moments of less-than-smartness, so I can somewhat relate, although I do know what Chicken of The Sea is - lol.

Comebacks to stupid lines

For all the girls....



Man: Haven't I seen you someplace before?
Woman: Yes, that's why I don't go there anymore.

Man: Is this seat empty?
Woman: Yes, and this one will be if you sit down.

Man: Your place or mine?
Woman: Both. You go to yours, and I'll go to mine.

Man: So, what do you do for a living?
Woman: I'm a female impersonator.

Man: Hey baby, what's your sign?
Woman: Do not enter.

Man: Your body is like a temple.
Woman: Sorry, there are no services today.

Man: I would go to the end of the world for you.
Woman: But would you stay there?

Man: If I could see you naked, I'd die happy.
Woman: If I saw you naked, I'd probably die laughing

Good advice from George Carlin

"Most people think you have to lie to get out of jury duty. You don't have to lie; tell the judge the truth. Tell him you'll make a really good juror because you can spot guilty people just by looking at them. Explain that it has to do with how far apart their eyes are. I guarantee you'll be out of that courtroom before you can say "justice sucks."

..... not only are the labels FOR stupid people, but some are made BY stupid people .....

I don't have issues with Catholic schools! hehe

Catholic School blues

I am a Catholic school survivor. Yes, I went to Catholic school from 1st thru 7th grade, and I made it out, skirt and socks intact. I had a few good friends there, and for most part, my experience was a good one, but there were things I could have done without. Like church. Church, for me, was a boring, humbling, and sometimes humiliating experience. We had to go to church every first Friday of the month. When I was a younger kid, church was fun. We got to sit together and sing songs, pray and read from the missle, which I liked to volunteer to do whenever I got the chance. However, the older I got, the more jaded I got about church. I started to see just how things worked in the Catholic church, and I didn't like what I was seeing.

You see, I was never baptized. My family sent me to Catholic school because they wanted me to have a better education than I could have gotten from a public school. They thought that being in a private school would shield me from some of the bad stuff that went on in public schools. And I thank them for wanting to give me the best they could. But church....I don't think that was the best thing for me. My church experience consisted of me sitting in the pew while everyone else went to communion, and having to sit while everyone else went to confession. All the other kids would point at me and tell me that I was going to go to hell because I could not confess my sins. Even the teachers would tell me that I could never get into heaven because I was not baptized. That was not exactly encouraging to hear. To me, it just seemed like God would not disallow someone into heaven solely on the basis that he/she was not baptized. That just seemed to contradict everything we learned about God in school. We were taught, and I have always believed, that God is compassionate and loving and kind and loves all of us unconditionally. So why would He not let someone who was good into heaven just because he/she was not baptized? Doesn't that seem contradictory, or is that just me?

I think that when I started to think this way was when I really got turned off to churches and organized religion in general. All religions and churches have their own sets of rules and regulations, and all of the churches want you to give them so much of your income. When I was a kid, the teachers would make the kids who couldn't give very much feel guilty. In fact, I felt so guilty that I could not give more, that I went into my dad's coin collection and took some of his buffalo nickels to put into the coffer. Seems kind of funny that I had to resort to stealing just to appease my teachers. Of course, then I had more guilt because I took my dad's coins!

It just seems like church caused me more problems than it helped me. It made me feel guilty, it made me steal, and I was told that I would never get into heaven. It also caused me humiliation by having to sit and watch all the other "heaven-bound" kids take communion and go to confession. It was then that I decided to have a one-on-one relationship with God, and to let no one ever make me feel inferior just because I didn't have some water splashed on my forehead. I talk to God, I believe in God, and I thank God everyday for my life. Just because I don't go to church does not make me a heathen, and I think that God would agree with me there.

Work = Hell

I just want to say that work sucks! It is only Tuesday and I am already wanting Thursday to hurry the heck up and get here ( I say Thursday because we have a 3-day weekend this weekend- woo hoo!). I had a headache all day today, and my body is aching and there were entirely too many questions being asked of me today. My brain hurts! Sometimes I wish I had a job that didn't require me to think, but I don't, so I won't think about that anymore....too much thinking makes my brain ache. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better :)

this is what I say every day!

Clowns are evil!

I was watching Poltergeist the other day, and remembered just why I think clowns are evil. Even before that clown went all mean and tried to kill Robbie in that movie, he still looked evil. Just seeing that clown doll sitting on a chain in the dark, with his frozen smile and unblinking eyes just gave me the creeps. But when he "came alive" and tried to kill that poor little kid, it just plain freaked me out. I think that was the only movie that truly scared me when I was a kid. I had a clown doll when I was a kid, and after I saw that movie, I made sure that he was always buried at the bottom of the toybox, so he could not get out. Ok...so that sounds silly. But I was a kid, ok! (hehe) Even nowadays, clowns still give me the willies. And there is no wonder that so many scary movies have clowns in them.....Stephen King's It, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, To Catch a Killer (you know, that movie about John Gacy, who dressed up as a clown and killed people)... I rest my case. So if you see a clown, don't trust his painted on smile. He may not be what he appears to be....I am starting to wonder about mimes too... hehe

me and my brother, Mark, at Christmas time in 1978 - I was 6 years old here - don't I look cute?! gee, I wonder what happened ! lol
