A third journal of personal musings

My life always continues to change and it only stands to reason that with each change, there should be a journal dedicated to it.

If you have a chance go watch The Lady In The Van (2016). She was also great in that movie!

Yes!! I love the details. It's why I'm such a fan of Stephen King (and why I understand when people say that they don't like it.), because I love having a picture drawn for me. So it's hard for me to step outside of that when the comfort of what I like is wrapped so tightly around me.

In response to "Dialogue"

I have read the all dialogue pieces people have written here. Not fun for me. I want a story with a point of view and details about the locations, traditions, and stories within a story. Oh, a few of the ones I read were good because those I liked were on the humorous side. I think you have read so much in your lifetime that, like me, you never read a book that was entirely dialogue. Another good entry.

In response to "Dear Mom and Dad"

I love the idea of this letter and the way you wrote it I could see your upbringing. They were going to/already went through so much. I especially liked the way you expressed your appreciation and looking at the bright side of things you had no control over. In many ways, because of their choices, they did not have much control over their own lives. Isn't it a shame we get caught up in living, working, and being so busy it is hard to see the big picture.

Thank you! It has been a long time coming for us! We were almost afraid it wouldn't ever happen. We always seemed to be a step behind the housing market (and the rental market for that matter lol). Going from a 660 sqft apartment to our house has been the best thing in my life lately! It still feels like a dream some days.

Reality Shows?

Prompt:
Do you like Reality TV Shows like Survivor? Write about this in your Blog entry today.

Goodness, no. None of them ever appealed to me. It's not like I'm above cheesy things, but I need some kind of intelligent structure going on. I still can't believe that the dating ones are still happening. Those ones are the WORST. I guess because they're so predictable and the non-good petty gross behavior (nothing like grown ass women acting like desperate children fighting over a man they don't even like and the winner will divorce in like a month after the wedding or even when it's reversed and it's a woman the men are vying for and it's just like 12 year old boy behavior) isn't even interesting. It just reminds me of girls in high school crying over some idiot boy they were "dating" for a day. Granted, I hated that crap even when I was in high school, but at least being a teenage girl it's justifiable. If there was some kind of humor or like a "straight man" in one of those shows, maybe? I just can't.

The others...? Eh. They just aren't interesting to me. Mathew liked Survivor for awhile and I tried to watch it when he did. That show I can understand why it's still on. There's some characters that are interesting and the whole premise can be interesting, but learning about how much of the behavior and drama is forced and how absolutely fake the whole thing is, including sometimes who wins or loses, who stays or goes, just really turned me off. If it's all going to just be written, then I'd rather just watch a movie.

Big Brother I never got, though the weird drama I guess I can understand why that thing is still going, but I just never connected with that kind of stuff.

It's funny because I usually hate talking about my opinions on reality TV because it makes me feel like I'm really pompous about TV and I'm not.

It's just not my cup of tea. It's not my type of garbage.

I have wished they'd do something interesting with it, but it's always the same rehashed topics and themes. I am really surprised though that new shows still pop up and that reality TV is still something that continues to exist. I had always figured it would've died off, just because it really is just kind of the same thing. But here we are, nearly or maybe have (I can't remember if it was pre or post 2000 when they started) met the 25 year mark of reality television. I guess at this point it will be interesting to see how long Big Brother and Survivor go on for and whether or not they'll last longer than the genre does (will there be a resurgence in popularity for those shows?).
