My Digital Art











Real Time




Real time w/ Bill Maher is my favorite show, and it is about to come one. Yay!! I live in the bloody south, and I am surrounded by snotty conservatives that watch FOX News on a loop. It is hard to get different perspectives around here. I am lucky to know a lot of people that are on my wavelength, but those people are really hard to come by. There are times when I wish that I lived somewhere else...A lot of times, but I want to stay near my family. I feel like I need to stick around and help change the attitude of the close minded majority. It seems futile sometimes because these are people that are set in their ways and refuse to change. There have been a few times when I feel like I have planted a seed, so that give me hope.

When will I get the balls to get the Fudge outta here? Should I stay or should I go?

insert video here:

on this episode of Jon and Kate plus 8....




Jon and Kate plus 8 have been one of these shows that I have really enjoyed watching over the last few years. I love watching the children being cute and saying cute little phrases. It made me want to have 8 children (and 16 nannies) of my very own one day. I thought it might be neat to have my very own daycare class following me around every where. I, of course, wasn’t thinking clearly because my reasoning abilities were clouded by all the cuteness packed neatly into a 30 minute format.

Another draw of the show for me was the mother and father of these incredibly adorable children. The father, Jon, was fairly mild mannered and a bit of a push over, but you could tell that he loved his children. The mother, Kate, was high strung and overly critical of her spouse but seemed to adore her children just the same. Their interaction was interesting. She was always bossing him around, and he would roll his eyes in the back ground and go about his business. I was always annoyed with how she treated him and often wondered why he put up with it. He was kind of a big kid, but he seemed to be a really good father. She was constantly running him into the ground with jokes about his weight and short attention span. It seemed like this guy couldn’t do anything right in her eyes.

After years of watching the kids learn how to walk, talk, read, play instruments, go on family vacations, and everything else under the sun that children learn as they grow up, the adults started acting more like children than the children ever could have. Who is to say what the last straw was, and there is too much he said/she said to make out the truth, but they eventually decided to separate. Most of the fans of the show, including myself, blamed the split on Kate. She, after all, was the one that was picking fights and making mountains out of mole hills. I was happy that he was getting away from this succubus. I always thought that he deserved better.

Then time passes by, and now here we are in the aftermath of a very public divorce. My perspective on the situation is much different than it had been only a few months ago. (In defense of the truth, my perspective is based of current episodes of J and K plus 8 and tabloid fodder and couldn’t possibly mean anything other than a third or forth hand opinion.) Jon seems to have fallen out of favor with the public and with good reason. There is a mid mid-life crisis type situation accruing here. One might say Kate drove him so insane that he forgot what was important in his life. I wanted so badly to be on the side of Jon because I think that he is a good father, but I have to move on over to Kate’s side now. She seems much more in touch with her children and their needs than he does. She has stepped up to a new level in my eyes. I can’t imagine what it must be like for her to watch her (ex) husband running around with all the young girls. I feel bad for her. I feel bad for all of them to be honest. It is a really sad outcome to a once innocently entertaining show.


The question here is what will happen to the show now? Will we want to watch it now that the perfect package is shattered

Kourtney Kan do it!





I am a self professed lover of the Kardashians. I think they are hilarious and not in a bad way either. I actually enjoy watching their interaction with each other because is seems so normal. I kan relate to the arguments between the siblings and the joking around that goes back and forth. The whole family is entertaining in one way or another, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be a klose tie between Khloe and Kourtney. They krack me up the way they are always goofing off together. It reminds me of the way me and my sister used to be.



Of kourse, the big news is that Kourtney K is having a baby.
(and the new show) I think that it is so kute how excited Kris is about being a grandmother, and I can relate to Kourtney not being able to change diapers. If that were me, I would be freaking out. I kan’t wait to see how this new addition will be incorporated into their shows. Oh, and I bet that is going to be one kute baby.

If it is a girl, I have some name suggestions for her.

Kristina
Karoline
Kandice
Karlie
Kamilla


Is this baby gonna have her aunt Kim's tush? What will this do to Kourtney and Khloe's show? Will it spawn and new show?

Buah Buah Now!


Tonight was the live eviction show for Big Brother, and thank goodness that annoying tramp Lydia was sent packing. She was the shadiest character in that house. She used everyone to get ahead, and she was a big baby acting like a brat when she didn’t get her way. I get that it is part of the game to lie. I understand that, but she was a dirty skank that “kissed” guys (lots of messages were given out to different guys in the house by this trifling trick) just to get ahead. The most attention being aimed primarily at the head douche bag, Jesse. Then in a traditional skanky fashion she would mock others for doing far less and holding herself up on some sort of (creatively superior??) pedestal. She is a sorry excuse of a person. I’m bummed because I thought I was going to like her. Oh well…there is always next years freak.

Just for the record…she gives tattooed lovelies a bad name. I love people and things that are out of the ordinary. I was disappointed by her lack of coolness. She is rotten to the core. Good RIDDANCE you nasty, pink haired, $#%@!


Does she really think that she has been a good person while on this show?

There are not enough Millions in the world...


It all started with Flava of love and since then there have been a gaggle of VH1 television shows that have held my warped attention. I thought it was strange that any woman would ever want to be with Flava Flav or think that Brit Michaels wanted a monogamous relationship with them. These shows spawned a trend of other shows that followed in the same tradition. I loved watching the cat fights and drunken fumbles. The ridiculous nicknames, uneducated banter, and interesting attire were enough to keep me coming back for more. They have all delivered deliciously disturbing moments that will go down as some of the most embarrassing television moments ever.

As much as I have enjoyed watching this wonderfully bad television, I honestly didn’t think that it could get worse. I was wrong. The question here today is who in there right mind decided that Megan wants a Millionaire was watch worthy. Arg! This show has the worst subject ever. Megan is the most uninteresting human being on the planet, and the cast of Millionaires is actually too disturbing for words. I don’t mean reality T.V. disturbing. I mean real life disturbing, and now we find out that one of them is wanted in connection with a murder. This show was doomed from the moment they formed the idea.

Why on earth would someone even want to be with that Megan chic? She seems so cruel and vapid. I’m at a loss, but maybe they can get this alleged murdered his own show in prison. I’d watch it.

Miley! You are grounded!


Does anyone else find it strange that Miley Cyrus was dancing on a pole at the teen choice awards? Does anyone care that she is only 16? What do her parents think about their 16 year old daughter dancing around a stripper pole in front or millions of people? These people include perverted old men like the one that was caught stalking her. Was it her decision to add a stripper pole in her routine? I wonder if it was her idea at all. If it was her idea, did she pitch a fit to have it added in to the performance or was she simply given her way because she is the family’s meal ticket. Was it just simple 16 year old rebellion that two countrified parents were to dumb to resist?

Billy Ray commented in an article that he lets his children make their own decisions, and that he believes that he needs to give them freedom so that they can have their own voice. Well…I guess that answers some of my questions, but not all of them. We know that Billy Ray is a moron that lets his 16 daughter dance on a stripper pole in front of millions. That is now obvious. If you look at his face after the performance he seems unfazed at what had just occurred right in front of his eyes. I’m not sure what he was thinking, but I know must fathers I know would have ripped their daughters off the stage and grounded them until she was 18. (The exception would be crazy pageant dads like the ones on that TLC show.)

I know that I am being judgmental, but I think that you need to be in this case. She is only 16 years old. You can’t exaggerate that. I am a pretty open minded person that believes that people should be able to make their own decisions and mistakes, but children need to be guided. They are young and impressionable beings, and the minute that their own parents turn a blind eye to questionable behavior is the moment that they believe that it is OK. I believe that money is the determining factor in this case. She makes the money and sex sell.

*Please note that I am not against the stripper pole itself. If you are of age to strip or do anything of that nature, more power to you. I am against the fact that this child is being exploited for money. She is given the power to make decisions about situations she couldn’t possible understand at such a young age.
