this was too funny to keep to myself

America is known to remake UK shows and now we see what the reverse effect is with "Days Like These" otherwise known as "That 70's Show" here in the States.

superbowl sunday

In case you didn't know the New Orleans Saints won the superbowl which is a great morale boost for New Orleans especially after Katrina and the fact that the Saints have lost so much that their unofficial name was the "Aints".I only watch the superbowl for the ads and the half-time show and that half-time show was....interesting.The Who performed and I'm guessing next year they'll get Led Zeppelin,they seem to love their old rock stars at CBS,I mean after all you can't have Beyonce's boob falling out like Janet's did.

like mother,like daughter

My mom likes to tell me me that all men are bad and I understand because she broke up with my ex-step-dad that she would feel like that,but then she tells me she's seeing someone else and I'm completely confused,I thought all men were evil.She said she told me about it because she thought I would like to know that she's happy and I asked what does being with a guy have to do with being happy?,she said it's because she's a women.I must not be a women yet because I don't understand at all.She left my step-monster about a month ago but she says they haven't "been" together in years.Shouldn't there be some recovery time shouldn't she be happy that he's not controlling her life.I'm really angry about this because I saw it coming and hoped that my 43 yr. old mother would've learned by now but no she's falling into her same old ways of needing a man.Despite the fact I grew up hearing from my mother that all men are scum in some form or another I don't hate men,I think because my mom told me this and I,like every girl I rebelled and ended up in the same place as my mom,thinking that I might need someone to be happy and that being alone and being lonely are the same and it's not it can't be I refuse to believe that I'm going to have to always need to be in a relationship to be really happy,but the truth is that I'm really unhappy too but Ii has nothing to do with being single it's because I'm not where I want to be in my life and I know my mother feels the same way,so why can't she see that only she can make herself happy and a guy isn't always going to save her from herself?

hispanic teen pregnancies on the rise

Being Hispanic myself and also never having a child,I must be an exception to this headline.My mom was a pregnant teen so I asked her the questions in this video,my mom grew up poor and was lonely,she fell in love and unexpectedly got pregnant and her mother told her that if she thought she was responsible enough to have sex she should deal with the consequences and have the baby and keep it.Recently I've been hearing that schools should be teaching more abstinence and less about contraception which I strongly disagree with,I think both should get equal time.I do agree that teenagers are too young to deal with the emotional side of sex but it's unrealistic to expect every teen to abstain,even if a teen decides to abstain they should learn about how to protect themselves to be well rounded and to be informed because pregnancy is not the only consequence of sex there are also STD's so why not teach everything because it's ultimately the teens choice to either abstain or participate.SO watch this video and see what you think,I personally don't think it's specifically a Hispanic but something that all races and cultures experience.

why i love gaga

                                            She's a performance artist
 
She's a visionary
 

At first I was turned off by her being so strange but I needed time to adjust to her because her look is overwhelming but it's all apart of how she wants to represent herself.Her album "the fame" came out of nowhere it's first single "just dance" quickly caught peoples attention.These days to be a singer you need more than talent you need an edge something that makes you unique or at least something that gets you talked about,Lady Gaga is definitely that girl.It does take a great imagination and creativity to come up with some of the things she dares to put on and that creativity also applies to her songwriting and performances,she doesn't shock people just to shock them she has a vision of who she and she lives it like a real artist.Even if you don't like her music you can't deny that she's one of the most truly eccentric and interesting people to come a long in a long time.

showbiz:toddler edition!

this is what I meant when I said I was happy I never had "showbiz parents"

broadway baby!

My dream and I do mean dream because I never think of it as reality, is to be an actress and live in New York City,can't you tell by my dramatic tendencies?I also love writing because it's a release but I feel that I can't do these things for a living because it's a risk and I'm scared of failing.My personality isn't one that jumps out and grabs you,it takes me awhile to get used to people enough to be myself and when you want to be a performer of any kind I think you need to be out going.Besides that there is a lot of rejection involved and I don't exactly have tough skin.There's apart of me that just wants to see what it would be like if I tried to make it happened and another part of me wants to have a secure job and life.I love the idea of being on a stage,being in a film or writing a great story not for fame just to be someone who creates and who is creative.I want to live my dream and hope for the best.But seriously there's a lot of people who have my same dream,it's competition.I am glad that I didn't have weird showbiz parents that could made me audition for disney every year until I was too old.I really love when people live their life and set goals for themselves,it's always inspiring.So that's my secret job dream,I'm confident it's going to stay secret for now especially because no one reads this,seriously no one reads this it's actually a fact,but it's okay I write for myself...yeah I didn't believe that either.
