Duck Dynasty(I will miss you Phil)

I was sadden to hear that Phil will be leaving Duck Dynasty because he is a big part of the show and him and Ms. Kay always always made my day. I really love the way Phil would always say the grace over the food at the end of the show over the family meal. One of the things I truly believe in is prayer and I still believe in the saying that a family that prays together stay together. I do not know why our country seems to be growing away from prayer and it was a true honor to see a family that stills believe in this and does not mind showing it on television. Of course one of my favorite family members is Si, because I think we all have an uncle like Si but Phil is the reasonable one, the one you could really go to and ask for advice. I do to some point understand why Phil may be choosing to leave the show, because when you get to a certain age and you have raised your children and lived your life a certain way, according to that of the bible. You have learned that you  have everything that God promise you he said he would give you if you heed his word. So what does Phil do, he does what I would do if I was in his position, I would do the show with my children for a little bit and then I will show ease my out and let my children just continue on while I stay out of the camera lights and live my life out as I want to in that is in peace and quite, without interruptions. Sometimes this fame from television can bring you unwanted attention. This attention although wanted by a lot, can be unwanted for someone like Phil who has had a good wholesome living without the cameras and will continue to do so without the cameras again. I have to applaud Phil as I have applauded this family all along, I just want the rest of the family to keep it real and don't lose sight of the raising you were brought up with. I will miss you Phil and I know your son who will be joining the show, will bring that spirit that received from you on each episode.

Shipping Wars

Okay I think I have never mentioned it before but I am a big big fan of the show Shipping Wars and of course my favorite is Roy. I have watch this show from the beginning and I have loved it every since. I think the thing I like about the show the most is because it shows some real truck drivers and how they go through everyday working hard to make a dollar, as most of us do. This show has taught me a lot about the hassle that truck drivers have to put up with sometimes just to make money to feed their families. I know from working with truck drivers that a lot of these guys are good people and they have families just as you and me but for some reason, some people just like to give truck drivers a hard time and I think that is just because they do not understand them and what they have to go through sometimes. Shipping wars help us to see these truck drivers in their everyday lively hood and  I was glad that the show new season recently came back on and what impressed me the most was the show brought on more new people. I really thought the show could use some more people, to give us a glimpse of other truck drivers bidding on these loads that the other drivers bid on to ship around the country. I do really like Roy and Marc but some of the people like Jen, Rob & Chris and Jarrett were people that I like but they are people that I would not mind seeing every now and then but not all the time. Jarrett seems like he was just a joke, not a real truck driver struggling to make a buck to feed his family because he has not family and Jen seem like see is just on television just to get fame, making sure that her boobs are at front and at attention at all times. Now my issue with Rob and Chris is that they are just cocky and and they seemed to think it is funny that if they do not want a load they can low ball someone else to make them take the load for little or nothing. Low balling someone is not something a real truck driver will do to another truck driver when they know this is how that person makes their money and how they keep their lives moving. Why take joy in someone else displeasure. So bring on the new faces and lets see how other real truck drivers handle these really outrageous and crazy loads. Lets keep shipping wars moving, because I want more and more of the show. I love the show and I appreciate the hard work these truck drivers put into the work they do to get people the items they order. Now I have found out how I can order something across the states and get one of the shipping wars guys to ship it too my house, watch out guys because I may be calling on you soon.

Catfsh

Does anyone watch the show called Catfish? Now why did I ask a question like that, I know people watch the catfish show because it is one of the shows that we refuse to believe that their are people who are out there that really do fall for meeting strangers on the computer. Well I really enjoyed the show the first season and was shocked and I do mean shocked by some of the things that happen. What surprised me the most was that some of these people talked to people on lines for two or three years with never having talked to them face to face. With all the technology there is out there now why would anyone believe that they could never talked to a person face to face, yes some of these people talk to the people on the phone but of course afters so many months, why would not a person want to see you face to face. I know there are a lot of people that are looking for love but there has to be a time when you stop and say to yourself, why is this person who post this picture of them self not taking the time to either visit or try to reach me by video cam to talk to me with some sort of connection with both of our faces. I really felt bad from some of the people because you could tell they really were tricked, but you also have to say, why did they not look passed those words that were sent to them and ask the person, why are you not trying to face me if you love me. If these people felt that they were getting real serious, why did they not take the time to stop and think about the things that were happening. I know love is a powerful thing, but what usually comes with that real meaning of loving someone is that need for human contact with that person. So why would someone talk to someone over the computer for years and not actually meet them, is this because they are afraid of how they themselves will be rejected? Is that it, is that why we have the show Catfish, because people are so afraid of rejection that they choose to believe that the people they are talking to are right in front of them and there is no need for actual contact or face to face conversations because of that really strong feeling of being totally rejected, said that you are no good, after having conversations with this person for so long. Wow, I really never thought how powerful rejection could be, the more I think about it the more it becomes clear that rejection is something that can make and break some people and of course none of us wants t be rejected. I wrote my own story with my husband and our situation and my biggest hurt is that he rejected me and turn to someone else for comfort. I could not understand why he rejected me instead of talking to me. I was right there for him to turn and tell me what he was feeling but instead he told me he choose to go to another and that for me hurt. Rejection, why can we not take this out of the equation of our lives and don't think of things as rejections but as someone else loss. If a job turns you down for a position, lets look at it as their loss and if someone choose another over you, lets just say your loss. I know that the people who catfish other people are usually strange looking people, who may have really low self esteem, so they get on the computer and become someone they are not. Lets not blame these people, but lets try to understand how maybe these people have been rejected all their lives and had to live a fantasy world just to have a life they want. Lets try to understand that how those rejections over and over again may have been so hard for them that they had to be these fake pictures they post on the computers. Lets try to be more understand and not judge so much. Lets tell them I am sorry you felt you had to do what you did but I understand and believe you me I am sure there is someone just for you.

Love & Hip Hop Atlanta(Stevie J)

Okay I have figured it out, Stevie J is not as crazy as we all think, trying to have his cake and eat it two with one woman on the right side and the other or the left. I have looked at the show over and over again, I have listened to Stevie J, Mimi and Joseline talk and now I know what it is. Stevie J is trying to get his own show with both women on the show. Stevie J is trying to have a show in which his freak in the sheets and his ex by his side are both featured on. Stevie J is working very hard to be the center of attention so some producer would come to him and make him and the women an offer to have their own show and it would only make since, because that show would be a reality in its own self. Stevie J will have the drama of his crazy girlfriend Joseline and his ex girlfriend Mimi  who has has child. I have to admit that the show would be something I would watch and at the same time it would bring all of them fame and fortune that would not only be a plus for them but a plus for Stevie J, because he could get his girlfriend all the things she desire while at the same time pleasing his baby mama with all the support she needs to take care of their child. This show could put Joseline on the map while helping to pay all of their bills. Now I must say Stevie is being real smart about it because the drama is all in and the season finale had me on the edge of my seat when Stevie proposed to Joseline while at the same time offering Mimi a ring as well. Well this is one show I think should go forward and while I have been thinking about it I have also come up with ideas for the new reality show. How about "Getting on the Stevie J bus", or " A ride along with Stevie", or how about " It's The Stevie J ride". I am waiting to hear if it becomes a reality and if it does I guess they can pick up with where they all left off at the proposal ceremony.

John Walsh

I have always been a big John Walsh fan and because of this man and his bravery I have learned over the years how important it is to fight crime. I saw John Walsh story in a movie years ago about his son and how he was kidnapped and murder and the worst thing every was him not know who killed his son.This man took the time to say, I could not save my child but I can save other peoples children. Then it turned out to be a all out fight against crime together and thus America Most Wanted was started and I have to say that John not only made me aware but he made America aware of the crime going on in our country and from the show we could actually put faces with names, instead of just hearing a name and that was it. I think it is important to have a show in which we understand how a crime was committed and if possible to associate a picture of the criminal with this crime. It helped solved many cases hat could have gone unsolved. So my question is why was America Most Wanted taken off the air, it went from regular television programming to cable television and I thought as long as it stayed on television no big deal but why not keep people informed of the crimes and who may be lurking right at our front doors and then it was said there was not budget for the show. Why is not America as upset as I am that America Most Wanted is not getting all the support it needs and why are there not more people like John Walsh who worries and cares about our children safety. Everyone should get involved with the show and do everything in our power to help John Walsh help the show to continue on. John may be getting older but it should be in our power to continue on with the show and its stories of crimes and how we can prevent them. How we can fight criminals, by making sure we put the stories of their awful crimes and faces out there. I applaud John Walsh and I think of all the money we waste on no nonsense in this country, why can we not keep a show like America Most Wanted well an alive on all local channels in this country. Even if we have to have a telethon to raise money to keep the show on the air, I am sure we can do it. Lets keep our families safe by doing what John Walsh does on a daily basis and that is fighting back.

Deion Sanders New Show

Have anyone heard about the new show Deion Sanders will be having. Now first of all I did not know Deion Saunders was with Tracey Edmonds., that alone is something to be desired. Has not Tracey been passed around to about fifty different celebrities and why would all these guys want to be with someone who obviously can not stay in a relationship and is Deion even fully divorced yet. So the show is based on Deion his family and Tracey family and does this include how they as a couple work their busy lives out and are we really suppose to believe this. How long have Tracey and Deion been together anyway, especially since Deion has been going through this divorce with Pilar and how long have their families been fused together? It is hard for me to believe because I am not a fan of either Deion Sanders nor Tracey Edmond and my whole problem with the show is that it seem as though it might have been thrown together for the sake of just to get on television and make money. Now I understand everyone wants to make money but there is a way you go about doing this, if Tracey and Deion have been together that long, where was Pilar doing this time and what about the children, how was their live affected by the Deion and Tracey relationship? How long was it since Tracey and Eddie Murphy split because I thought it was recent since their departure? Maybe it is a Hollywood thing and I just do not understand how things works at accelerated speed, here today gone tomorrow type of deal. Tracey Edmond is a woman I have never trusted, she is always writing and producing things and people are always complaining how she has miss managed money, why would anyone trust her to do anything. Frankly the woman scares me because anyone who can rip off some young girls to gain her own profit, is someone who I feel is out for themselves and could care less about others. Of course I will watch the show when it starts because I want to know the set up and what exactly the show will be about. I want to know how the children will all be handling this living situation. I myself think that Pilar is still a way better catch than Tracey will ever be. I think Pilar is a very classy lady and any man will be lucky to catch her. Now I would like to see Pilar get her a real celebrity Hollywood personality and start her own reality show and have a tell it all show, now I will watch that.

Naked and Afraid(7-28-13)

Did anyone watch naked and afraid last night, this was something special. Now when I first saw the lady, I thought to myself she is a big woman but was not afraid to get naked and meet her partner, there was no shame in her game. Now her partner, who had a name of Puma, was a very well built, good looking dude and all he could say about her was that she was a giant. Now Puma as someone tweeted, reminded you of Tarzan and that was very true because I thought of Tarzan as soon as I saw him. Both individuals seem like they had some very interesting stories that made them fit to fight the jungle they would be left out in and I was rooting for them because they both seemed like a perfect fit and they both were pretty smart people. Not to far in the show though I found that they both seemed to want to give up almost on the second day after they could not get a fire right away. Now I understand that water is crucial element and so much that Puma felt the need to drink some very nasty water which eventually made him sick. I think I would have tried everything to get that fire started before I drink so very nasty water. I could not understand why this couple had such a rough time, when they started on the first day with such a positive attitude. After a few days of drinking the water, Puma got sick and had to go to the hospital immediately, no doubt after drinking that nasty water. I thought Puma would eventually get back, but he did not and I really thought he would make it since he seemed like he had been through so much in his life before, but then again that shows you how much a young person accounts of I have been through a lot, versus a older person account of I been through a lot differs. An older person has age on them and when they say they been through a lot, you can believe them that at that age they have really been through a lot. With a young person in their minds, they have that perception that if things happen to them in a short time, then they have been through what most have not, which is usually incorrect because it is usually just their perception. Now as for Kim I have to give her some props because she stuck it out some days after Puma was hospitalized and she even caught a turtle to eat and cooked it herself, although I think the turtle ended up making her sick and it is not fun being alone at night and not having that support of someone else who will have your back, while you are sick and can't really watch out yourself for weird happenings around you, so I can not fault her for finally calling it quits, although she only had a few days left. I was disappointed because this was a sorry ending for a season finale if you ask me, but it was interesting to watch and I have to admit I have learned some things from the show, like if you are going to be naked, make sure your body is in shape for the filming, do not depend on a partner you know nothing about, so make sure you know how to handle your own when you are in a jungle, and one important thing I have learned from two of the episodes is to not eat turtle, for some reason turtles in the jungle are not meant to be eaten, I guess it is their diets, think about it. Now as for will I ever do a show like this, I think I would take on the challenge if asked, but only after I have made sure I have all my learning into place, the body right and tight and the head nice and clear. I can do it, I know I can and I do not need a naked man. I think more people should sign up for this show, give it a try, it is only for 21days and you get that chance to take on a challenge of a life time and what the heck, so you get a little air time with full nudity on television, it seems to work for some people.

Breaking Amish(LA)

Okay I am still watching this new Amish show breaking Amish LA and I am still not impressed, but what I do understand is that it is still new to me and I have to give it a chance. The one thing that I do like about it so far is that they have a pregnant Amish person on it this time. I want to see how this pregnant woman handles being in a strange city and having not told her parents or family that she is pregnant is crazy. Now I see some of the future episodes and I see where Abe's bother Andrew comes into the house and acts as though he will be taking over. I do have to say I did not like Andrew when he was own Breaking Amish. Andrew seems as if he is trying to make a name for himself, he did not get on the first show, so he is trying to make a name for himself on this show. I want one of the guys to knock Andrew on his a** and shut him up quick. One person that I think can knock Andrew on his butt is Lizzie's brother because he is one big dude and he looks like a man not to be messed with. I do have to say I feel for Lizzie since she is pregnant, that has got to be hard in the Amish community when it is by someone that you are not married to. I can imagine how the Amish people shun you because of the shame, you already feel alone with the baby and then you have to really be alone because of the shame and when a woman is carrying a baby the last thing she needs is to be alone. No wonder why the Amish women are so tough and stern looking, because they go through a lot and they have to almost have no feelings to go through the things the Amish community puts them through. I will still watch the show because I think they have potential and I think we will really be able to tell if the show will make it or not when all of the Amish people finally get out of those sad looking clothing. Maybe the guy that sews can make them all new outfits, I personally think it is great that a Amish guy can sew and I see nothing wrong with it. The women all mention that no guy in the Amish community sews, now one thing that I always wondered about was if their are any gay Amish guys and I believe there are and it is one of their biggest secret, now this is a secret I can not wait to come out. Now the one I think about this show the more I can not wait until all the new cast get out of their old clothing and secrets begin to be reveled, we may learn some more juicy information about the Amish culture.

Sister Wives(7-28-13)

Okay anyone watch sister wives tonight, now I am a big fan of sister wives and I certainly do not agree with those people who said that they promote plural marriages and it is like dirty old men who want to sleep with young girls. Although I believe some of the plural marriages in certain so called religious is why this is so, not all and especially not the people who are on sister wives or Mormon as most of them call themselves. But what I was trying to understand about last night show was why were there so much divide between the wives. Why is it that is seem like two of the wives are on one side and two of the wives are on another side, I thought this was something they had worked on and was trying to work hard at being sister wives together. One thing I have notice about Janelle who is the most opinionated, is that she is one sloppy woman. Did anyone notice her house and of course I understand it as a mother how hard it can be to keep kids in order and to run a household while trying to run a business, but one big problem I have with Janelle is she is always talking about she never has help and Cody is not around enough to discipline the children. It seems to me that Janelle wants everyone else to do her work for her and this is why she misses the other women being in the house with her, so they can help her with her children and her cleaning. Her house was a mess and she definitely did not know how to handle her children, especially with allowing a child to talk back to her. Janelle had these children and now it seems as if she wants to run away from them by having the other woman handle them and she seems to want to be able to work outside the house so she can get away from her own children, who wouldn't with those many kids. I can not  blame Meri from not wanting to be in the same house anymore, neither would I. This is why I like these sister wives so much, because although they are sister wives and the reason for sister wives is to live as one and to help each other out, these woman play it real. They tell how they really feel about the situation and they don't bite their tongues when it comes to saying what they want. They show us that they are just as human as any women, by throwing out those attitudes of jealousy and voicing why they think they should or should not do something. I think since these women moved in separate houses we have really gotten to see a side we would not have if they had stayed in that one house together. I just want the women to finally move in their new houses and maybe things will settle down a little for Janelle, whom seems not to be able to handle her children, I guess if the women live next door to her she could just say, go over to your momma Meri's house. I have one more question that came to mind and that is why is Cody always going out on a date with Robin and not the other women, at first I thought maybe it is because Robin is still the relative new wife but now I am not to sure about that because Robin made the statement that she has only went out with Cody three times this year since they had the baby, so when do the other women get time with Cody and if they do, why is it not aired on television? Is this some of the producer's idea so fans can get mad with Robin and Cody and judge Cody on the basis that he only spend time with Robin. I also notice with the houses the other two women talked about how their paperwork was filled out and turned in and how Robin's and Meri's were not but their houses were being built first, it sounds like a two against two to me, female wwe wrestling match, who will win. Meri and Robin in one corner and Janelle and Christine in the other, now that would be funny. In my opinion the biggest issue seems to be with Janelle and Christine not carrying for Robin and they are a little upset with Meri bringing Robin into their lives, I think they thought it was good enough with the three of them, now to add skinny beautiful Robin was just dividing Cody's attention more. Well we will she what happens as the show go on because I know I will be watching.

Marriage Boot Camp(Vow Cermony)

Okay did anyone get the vibe I did from the marriage boot camp, vow ceremony. It seemed like a big joke to me and during this last show it did not seem that the counselors came to work on the couples actual marriage but their anger issues. It seemed as if all the couples were asked what they got out of the camp and for the most part it was how to control their attitudes and to stop yelling. The end of the show seemed like a total farce to me. I was looking for more information to come from the couples and more of the truth to be reveled about their marriage. It does not seemed as if the last show was focused on their marriage at all but rather if a couple would or would not receive their wedding bands back from their spouses. After watching the last show I thought that all the couples would receive their weddings bands back anyway, I did not think none of them would be as low as to shun their spouses on television. I still think that a lot of the marriages were a joke and Chris and Melissa relationship was never really explored, especially Melissa's so called ex boyfriend whom she was hanging out with and how do we even know rather Melissa will still hang out with this guy or not if the counselors did not bother to touch this subject. What can I say about Kristan and Seth, they are the biggest joke on television and correct me if I am wrong or right, was not these two on Divorce Court last year, it seems to me if these two just want to be on television and get their own air time, because the marriage seems as if it is not really a marriage but a roommate situation. During this so called great finale of the show, it seems as if because there was no more Porsha and Byron to focus the camera on, to show how not to have a marriage, the cameras were turned on Rob and Remy, yet they both still gave each other their rings back, can you say true fake and through all this what happens to Remy and Rob, they get their own show. Their own show, out of all the couples how do Remy and Rob end up with their own show, why not give all the couples their own show. Why not give Porsha and Byron their own show, because I am sure that would be full of laughs. There was more action on the Bridezillas bootcamp reunion than the actual show finale and most of the truth actually came out in the reunion show which made it more juicy. I would have to say I would watch it if they had another Bridezillas Boot Camp but I think that the show will have to revamp the way the counselors handle the couples. The counselors seemed to have handle most of the couples with kid gloves and that is not how you get information out of couples who are truly having issues. I also have to say bravo to Porsha for speaking her mind about Melissa and her cheating ways and why the counselors did not touch basis on Melissa partying with another man and lying to her husband about going out with her girlfriends. Like Porsha said Melissa is hiding something, anytime she has to change password on her phone and guys are calling her on her phone when she is married and Chris get real Melissa is not just disrespecting you with receiving the call, she is playing you as a pure stupid idiot.

R&B Divas (LA)

Okay I have been watching the show, R&B Divas LA and of course I have been comparing it to the original R&B Divas with Faith Hill and the gang. The show of course has a great list of cast members as did the other show but from the last two times I have watched it, the show has not been very entertaining for me. I keep watching hoping something will catch my attention, to no avail. I do no know if this is because I am comparing it to all the drama that the original R&B divas show ended with and this show coming right behind the ending of the other show, is making me be a little judgmental of this show. What seems to be missing to me from this show is a deeper look into these women lives. Now some of the woman have revealed some personal information, but there are those who have not or there are details that we the fan would like a little more information on and they are not giving it. I think they should start featuring each women and their personal life a little more deeper on each show. Like each week making a round to each woman house and showing them with their family and friends and telling of things that may have really made them end up the way they are or have chosen the path they have. I was surprise to see little Mo being so religious and having really put God in her life first, it gave me a different insight on her and this is what we need on all the women, more insight. We need to understand who they are. Well of course I will continue to watch, hoping that it will get better as the show goes on, maybe I am just being to haste by hoping they would automatically jump off with drama. I do not know why I think all reality shows should start out with the women at each other throats, I guess that is what most of us viewers have come to expect and maybe we should stop wanting to see these women fight and enjoy the women being women and supporting each other. But then again, would that make for great television and would that turn us off from reality television and back to the soap operas and made up dramas.

The Haves and The Have Nots

Does anyone watch the haves and the have nots. I just love the show and some of the reasons are that it is  a break from all those reality shows and another is because it is like a steamy night soap opera. I have always enjoyed soap operas, just like a lot of people because it is entertainment. The have and the have nots is a show written by Tyler Perry and I know that a lot of people are like what is the big deal. The big deal is because this is a juicy soap opera and regardless of what people think, blacks and whites can be close friends and their family can become as close as relatives. No matter what color you are, people are people and when you put one good family with another, it is most likely you will become friends for life. I like this soap opera because of all the twists and that Candace is one of those soap opera characters you love to hate, she can hang with the big dogs. I liked Candice the first time I met her because she shined on the screen as a true soap opera diva. Candace put me in the reminder of Phyllis on the Young and the Restless. If anyone knows Phyllis history, she was and still is a true, SOB on the screen and she is someones path you do not want to cross. This is the same with Candace, every time some one thinks they got Candace backed into a corner, she comes out clawing. This character is fierce and the entire cast are all very talented, mostly well known actors. I never thought I would see Bo from the Dukes of Hazard playing such a serious part. He totally shows you that he has long out grown, that old days of those Dukes those Dukes those Dukes and what can be said about Renee Lawless, this women is one of those actors that only come around in a lifetime. She is smart, strong, and powerful and the best thing about it is she knows how to use it, one great actress. The show has so many twist and turns that it always keep you entertained and coming back week after week to watch. The best part of all about the show is that it does not stretch out the secrets like most of the soap operas do, if there is something to be reveled, you can believe it will be reveled right away. I have always hated it when soap operas would drag out secrets for months before anyone found out if someone did something, or it would be even hidden for years. The haves and the have not is the soap opera to watch on Tuesday night if you want a break from the regular reality show antics.

Tia & Tamera

I have enjoyed watching these girls since they played sister sister and I will have to say on the show I could always tell them apart, which I am sure most people could. My thing about the two girl is I really admire them because they were great children who grew up to be great adults and you never heard a bad thing about them in the news. When they became all grown up I was glad to see they had a reality show coming out about them as adults living their lives., so of course I was going to watch it. So I have been watching the show since it aired and I have enjoyed the show overall but there has been some things that has bothered me. I like both Tia and Tamara but from watching the show Tamera has really made me look at her differently. Tia has been married awhile, had a child and just enjoyed moving on with her adult life by landing a great role on The Game, an all time favorite show of mines that help me she Tia as a real grown up. But Tamera, she got the husband, in what I call a on again off again relationship. Tamera did a lot of wining on the show about how her sister Tia did not support her, or spend time with her, when Tia had a full time show in a different state on a different coast, with a husband to take care for and soon a baby on the way. Both girls seem like they were very supportive of each other but Tamera would always find a way to Tia was not being supportive, which in my opinion I saw Tia being every bit supportive to Tamera. Let me know if I am wrong but did it not seemed as if Tamera seemed as though she tried to actually mock her life after Tia. Tamera finally married a man and he just happen to have the same initials as Tia's husband so they could continue to have to same initial as twins. When Tia became pregnant Tamera seemed really happy for Tia but then she continue to have arguments with her sister who was pregnant and it was not good for Tia. Tamera seemed as though she was a little jealous of Tia because she received more spotlight from being pregnant and what did Tamera do, she planned her wedding just before Tia was do to have her baby, which cause Tia to no be able to participate in the wedding because of how far long she was. Tamera went as far as to complain how her sister was not participating enough in her wedding, well if Tamera was any kind of a sister she would have put her wedding off tell her sister had her baby. Tamera went as far to tell Tia how he should raise her child and what she should and should not do. I could not understand how fast after Tamera, who's new husband wanted to wait to have a baby, made sure she got pregnant as quickly as possible. The biggest problem I had though was how Tamera would always go and run to her friends to tell of her negative things about her sister, I never saw Tia run to her friends to tell them bad things about Tamera and I have to admire Tia for this, because your sister is your sister and your friends should not be involved with this situation. When Tia would get together with her friends it would be about her show or them and how her life was going. It seems to me as if Tamera had a part of her that wanted to see Tia, who went on with her acting career to fail and when she did not she felt as though Tia left her behind and that was not right. Why Tamera could not get her career off the ground I will never no, but one reason that I can see is that she seems to be almost hating on her own sister instead of really being happy for her. Tamera I would admire you more if you did your own thing and live your life your own way, it does not have to mark Tia's, she has her television career, so maybe a television career was not for you. Try something that fits you and your life style and go on with it and for goodness sake stop arguing about every little thing with your sister. If Tia offers you advice and you do not agree with it, say thank you but I think I will try something different. Everyone has their own way of doing things and that includes parenting, there is not necessarily a right or wrong way when it comes to what you believe in.

Love & Hip Hop Atlantic(Scrappy Has Won Me Over)

Now for those of you who do not know it, I am a big Love & Hip Hop Atlantic fan. Each cast member that the show has chosen to focus on life, brings their own special twist to the show and it is great. I was not too sure about Scrappy and frankly he and his mommy scared me a little, because they seemed to be straight up street thugs. Now after watching the show and watching the turmoil relationship between Scrappy and his baby mommy, I have to admit there is something about Scrappy that has grown on me. I have come to understand that he was a product of his life and he can not help how he grew up but he has come to understand that this life style is affecting the life he has now. He wants to raise his child in a different environment but Scrappy does not exactly knows how to go by it because he has that mother who is still yelling in his ear those same old ways and old thinking. Scrappy has to understand when to tune his mother out and decide for himself rather or not something is wrong or right. I really like the way Scrappy apologized to Erica because you could tell it was from his heart, no matter how crazy it may have sound, Scrappy was being real. He told it how he knew how to tell Erica he is really ready to move on with their lives together. I think when Scrappy gets from rehab Erica should not even think about it, she should just marry Scrappy. Go to the justice of the peace and say something from the heart as to why you want to be with him for the rest of your life. Erica you may just be surprise as to how much Scrappy will cherish that moment and he will stay by your side. I for one believe that Scrappy is the real deal and I believe that he will be that dude that loves his wife to the end. So wake up Erica marry Scrappy and stop letting Momma D get in your way. Scrappy has won me over.

What happen To Sunday Night Programming

What has happen to Sunday night programming on the East Coast. I do not know if it is just in my immediate area but Sunday night programming has gone down the tube. It seems as if all the television shows are on the weekdays now and I do not know why. I do not know why none of the shows who have returned for the summer would not pick Sunday night as their program night, because nothing else is own, so they do not have anyone to compete against. If I was a television show I would choose a Sunday night slot because there is more of a chance you will be looked at on this night. I think some people think that Sunday night most people are going to bed to get ready for the work week on Monday, so no one stays up late to see the Sunday night programs, but I do not think this is true because I am always talking to people about shows that use to come on late Sunday night and I was surprise that others stayed up like I did to watch these programming. If the show is something people are really into, believe you me people will stay up to look at them. I am really not into this new Amish LA but I am watching it because it is Sunday night nothing else is really on so I have this open opportunity to learn the new people of this Amish group. So far these Amish people seem to have more personality then the ones from the last Amish program, but I think this is because they watch the last Amish show, so they may feel to compete they have to make the show more interesting. The people who created the show may have told the kids as well that they will need to get people to like them because people have already come to love the show Breaking Amish and they will just think they are trying to be a copy cat, so maybe they should be more colorful. It only makes since, I don't want to compare them to the other Amish show but because I did really like Breaking Amish, I will be comparing this show the entire way. I have seemed to got off the subject of Sunday night programming and forgot to mention about the Bob Burgers, Simpson and American dad programming has gotten old and people have out grown these shows, so we really could use some other programming on Sunday nights while we washing and doing other things to prepare for Monday morning, please

This Goes out to All the Mothers

I do not know why I did not put out mother day shout to mothers on mother day and I was totally wrong for not doing this. I have found myself sitting alone a lot lately and this have given my plenty of time to think and in all my time to think, my mother has popped up constantly in my head. My mom was my everything and I do mean my everything. I remember me hating to have my mother leave my side as a little child and as she would go and my older sister would take me back into the house, I would always look back and say to my mom "see you later alligator" and she would say "after while my precious child' and that would hold me until she returned home. As I grew up I would go everywhere with my mother and I mean everywhere because I just enjoyed being with her. As I grew older and actually moved out, it was not  day I either visited my mother or was talking to her on the phone. I was mostly over her house and would stay occasionally. Needless to say my mother ended up babysitting my children and we both would go places together on my days off and the children was by our sides. My children got to experience the love of my mother as well and they really enjoyed their grandmother. My mother knew each and everyone of my children needs better than I did. When my mother became ill it was hard and I found myself not knowing what to do, I thought I could handle anything but her illness threw me for a loop and I did not know how to handle it. My sister and brother stepped in and eventually my mother died and I fell apart, my children broke down and it was a mess on my part because I felt I did not handle things like I should have. I thought about the things I fell to do for my mother and started to think I could have did so much more. So for any child out there who has mothers who have gotten up in age, don't think they are just old and senile, think to yourself have I really did enough to fulfill this women life as she did mines. Have I made my mother comfortable and did every possible thing within my means to make sure her last days are good. Take her out to eat now an then, take her on a vacation, something she would like, or just do something she would really, really like. Think about how you have plenty of time to do things you like, so there is no reason you should not take the time to spend and talk with your mother. Make her laugh by telling things you appreciated she did for you in your childhood and for those who have these issues with their mother, is it really worth it. Think about her age and what would you do if she die, and if it is something you can just let go, than do so let it go and talk to your mother. It is true that as the older get older they get wiser, now I did not say they get smarter, just wiser. Wiser means they will understand it if you come to them, say you forgive them and just start talking. You might be surprise, they might have a lot to say to you as well. Most mothers are mothers and they will do whatever it takes to provide for their children, especially if they know they have to eat. We love our mothers for their sacrifices and a lot of time these sacrifices might have even almost meant death, think about it. I wish I could talk to my mother, it is not a day when I do not wish I could pick up the phone and say hello. The last time I talked to my mother was when she was on a machine in a hospital bed and she was actually in a coma, I said "see you later alligator" but there was not after while my precious child.

"Conjuring" is it a good or bad thing

Okay I know a lot of people freaking out about the movie "Conjuring" and I do not know if this is a good thing for the movie itself because of their fear a lot of people saying they will not go see the movie. Now the advertising is great but I believe they showed to much, driving a lot of people who have certain fears to say they would not go and see it. The people talk about how long it took to make this movie and why it took the family so long to come forward with it because they did not think the world could handle it. Now I do not know if this was just publicity to get people hyped about the movie or what, but what I do know if it is they may have overdone their jobs because some people are to scared to actually go see the movie. Now I am a person who loves horror movie so something like the advertising of the "Conjuring" only hypes up my excitement to want to go see it, if only I can get my daughter to see it with me. She is one of those persons that she was all hyped to go see it but after hearing other people talk about it and seeing more and more of the commercials she back out on me. I told my daughter that it will be alright and I think a lot of it was just made to hype the movie up. I am a person who grew up with some spirits in our house with a child and it never really bother me or my sister, but it use to freak our mother out. We lived in a very old confederate house that actually had underground railroad secret area for hiding out slaves who were trying to flee the South, pretty neat. Me and my sister and brother would explore and we always had strange things going on in our house but in never really bother us, except for my brother did not like sleeping in his huge room alone at night, so me and my sister would have to play with him until he fell asleep. If we every were leaving the house my mother would always do what we call a lot down, we had to go around the house and lot down the huge windows and make sure the doors were very secure, but every time we came home it was too unlocked doors and wide open windows with curtains swaying, very creepy right. I remember having something attack me to the point I jumped from my room into my mother room off the top of my bunk bed, I was very sore later on that morning and my mother asked what happen and I told her that all I remember was I felt as if someone was trying to hold me down and I was fighting to get them off me, and I finally got them off me and fled and that was in mid flight, creepy again right. Well one time my mom had a wine up music box and you had to physically pick the box up and wine it up from the bottom to make it play. Well one early morning the box went off my mother jumped from her bed and I was standing there over her and see began fussing at me asking why did I make the music box go off and I told her I did not do it, so she ask why was I just standing there and I told her I did not remember walking into her room, again real creepy right. Well this music box went off a few times after that and I was not in the room, my mother had had enough and finally moved. I enjoyed the house myself, even with our strange happens, I did not even get into how every night, I had to stop my sister who eyes were widely open, from trying to go out the door at night. Me and my sister slept in the same room and the same time every night she would get up and go to the front door to unlock it, I would have to stop her and I would ask her where she was going and she would say, I have to go, I just have to go, well needless to say I would have to lead her back toward her bed, good thing I was a light sleeper. I began thinking this was a job for me. Well after moving into a brand new house we never had these happenings again and it really pleased my mother but me and my siblings talked about how we actually missed the old house and the strange happenings, it kind of had its own personality. I guess we had our own Conjuring we could have written about, because there was a lot more to this story. But thing about stories like these and the movie is it is enough to scare some people away from it and I was wondering was the movie the "Conjuring" doing itself a good or bad thing by advertising so much and telling of this history of the movie to get people to look at it when it is backfiring and running people away from watching it. Some people think spirits are like demons and if you open to it you are letting the demons in your house. I was getting my hair done in the beauty parlor and this is how the entire conversation started, I was telling my beautician that me and my daughter was going to see the movie and see automatically said, I can not look at movies like that and the other beauticians asked her what movie and it sparked a conversation in the salon that I thought would never end. Women began talking about experiences they had in houses they lived and about experiences they had in their churches, it went on and on. After getting back home I told my daughter about some of the stories that were really freaky and she began saying I don't think I want to see the movie, you just freaked me out. I said they are just stories and it was other peoples opinion, but she said it only added to the advertisement she seen done on the movie and now she is really afraid of seeing it. I can not get her to go no matter what I say, it is like the conversation on the "Conjuring" has caused a backlash of people bringing up their on memories of scary encounters and now they don't want to see the movie for fear of their own encounters reoccurring, freaky right.

Stand Up Guys(The Movie)

Has anyone watch the movie "Stand Up Guys" with Al Pacino. Now I know the guys in this movie are older and it is not a lot of young people style, but the movie is funny and I recommend young people watching it. I myself thought why should I watch this movie and then I read about the great actors in it and thought how could I go wrong, well I was right. The movie had me entertained the entire time, with these old use to be so called bad men, who reminisce about their younger days as criminal and if they still had it. The real funny thing about it is watching these guys trying to do the things they did in the past, you can see how these guys might have been these great criminals in their days and you began too see some of their past as they still live a little of it in their future. They only knew one type of life and this type of life reflects the way they react to things present. It is funny and keeps a smile on your face at the same time. I really enjoyed watching it and the only disappointed part, although I understand it entirely, was the ending. I was not sure why it had to end the way it did, but at the same time I understood where they were going with the plot. I would suggest anyone over the age of seventeen of course to watch it, you might really enjoy it as I did and understand where these men were coming from.

S.O.S(Stuck On Stupid)(Repeat)

There was a reason I began writing this blog and the main reason was because I saw the stupid things that Americans began doing. Some of the things I was not too surprised by and others really floored me. This is why I called my blog 1-800-SmackMe because I wanted people to think about the stupid things they were doing and after thinking about it ask someone to smack them for doing such a stupid thing. We Americans are basically all becoming idiots and we have put what was once values, respect and just down right common sense aside. We are now what I call, stuck on stupid(S.O.S) and we need to put things in reverse and get out of the stupid stupor we seem to be in. Things like the media making a big deal on Paula Deen comments she made, yes it was very wrong and believe you me I even wrote about it, but what Paula Deen did wrong is she had a SOS moment. Paula got stuck on stupid and forgot that she should not have made such a comment in public much less in front of people. People of color are not dumb and we know that things are said about us, usually behind closed doors, so why did not Paula keep her comments behind close doors. Paula there are a look of people who feel like you do and say the n-word but they close there doors and say it and someone like you who is in the public eye and wants everyone to buy your merchandise, should remember that you have to keep those words and opinions to yourself or behind your door where no one else can hear you. Zimmerman had the audacity to say that he was in fear of his life when he saw Trayvon walking while he was riding in his car, another SOS moment, now personally for me if I was riding in my car and someone was walking whom I fear, I would have either sped past this person or have turned my car around and went the other way. The ironic thing about Zimmerman is he will now be Trayvon because others will fear him, judge him, and he has very little chances of getting employment, good luck with that. Now let me understand, Florida has a stand your ground law, but a woman by the name of Marissa Alexander, if you do not know of her look it up, who lives in Florida was given twenty years for firing warning shots to scare off her abusive husband, why is the "Stand Your Ground" law not in effect for this woman, once again it is a SOS moment for the entire state of Florida. Zimmerman who stayed stern faced during the entire trail without any emotion on his face, breaks out grinning when he is found innocent, a definite SOS moment to me, why not keep those emotions in like you did during the trial and smile behind close doors, then others are less likely to feel as though you were feeling as if you got away with something. You shed no tears, and nor did you bother to act if the death of Trayvon affected you, but all teeth when they cleared you. Zimmerman defense made it a point to say that the 911 operator did not tell Zimmerman to stay in the car but he told Zimmerman who said "he was following a suspicious person" the operator said we need you not to do that and if Zimmerman had act as the operator had said, he would not have run into Trayvon, another SOS moment for the defense who thought making those statements the operator said was a important point, it only proved to a lot of us, that Zimmerman did what he wanted. Another stuck on stupid moment is that the family of Trayvon Martin could get a wrongful death suit against Zimmerman but it could backfire if Zimmerman won, Trayvon Martin's family would have to pay Zimmerman's lawyer fees, how crazy is this. Americans are already starting to fall behind other countries, in our inventions, skills, and talent and if we do not change our ways we will soon fall as a country. We are in debt and yet we still spend money on things that are not needed and give our politicians raises every year. Why do we not choose to get out this stuck on stupid mode and take pride in ourselves again, live and let live. Not kill or be killed. Did I call it stuck on stupid or what, now Mr. Charles Barkley said he agrees with the verdict, he believes that that Zimmerman was wrong but that Trayvon began beating the hell out the car, now Mr. Barkley have you been watching the case, do you not know that if Zimmerman who was in his car following Trayvon did pursuit and get out of his car, than he would not have gotten his a** beaten. Would you not Mr. Barkley fight for your life if you have felt threaten, Trayvon was a young boy who was frighten and we know that fear can make most people do strange things. Trayvon was only seventeen, so he knew not much about life or how to handle the situation, his reaction was to do what he did and that was fight for his life. Think about when you were a seventeen year old Mr. Barkley and don't think about your age now, although you are saying crazy things out your mouth the older you get, imagine how you would have acted as a seventeen year old and someone confronted you with a guy by his side. Now Zimmerman probably thought he was all big and bad when he realize that Trayvon was young, not thinking that the young boy would put up a fight, isn't that how things like this happen. The big bad guy who thinks he is tough, takes on the little person and realize he has taken on more than he should have, so what does he do, pull out a gun. He should have taken his a** whopping like a man and let Trayvon walk away with his life. Now I would have respected Zimmerman if he had walked away with his bruise and reported it later, at least Trayvon would still be alive, think about it Mr. Barkley. Zimmerman was very wrong and he should gotten some time, not walk away free, something he did not allow Trayvon to do because he was embarrassed about his beat down.

Boycott Florida

I heard about the possibility of boycotting Florida for the stand your ground law and I think this is a great idea. I am one of those people that was always going to Florida as my vacation spot, because I just love the whether and activities that they have available for you to do, but now I am on that band wagon to join this boycott. Florida stand your ground law is stupid and it seems to be geared toward certain races to protect another race. Florida I have noticed especially over the last few years is really showing their disapproval of fairness between certain races. Florida is a state that seems to be prone to only wanting to make the state safe for some, not all. Florida has many great cities and all kinds of great vacation spot, but at what price. Why have so many of us think that a state which apparently does not treat people of all races as equal, a state that is a great vacation spot. I am now regretting that I ever made Florida my vacation spot, especially since I have seen the unjust Florida dishes out to some. Florida is not a great vacation spot and it does not deserve the praise it has been getting from the rest of us. A state that says that you should stand your ground, is a state that is promoting violence. Florida has all kinds of issues with its laws, it is almost like Swiss cheese, full of holes and someone from the Supreme Court Justice should look these laws over. Well I will not be visiting Florida this year and as I have been looking over other great states to visit, I realized that there are plenty of other states with great activities. I think Florida has to understand that all people should be treated equal and this stand your ground should be taken off the books. Floridians that think this law should be taken of the book as well, should vacation in other states also. Florida needs to see that all people matter and I think if we take a stand your grounds against Florida than we make a statement to the state by saying "Florida all people do matter and justice is not just for some but all and you need all people to continue on" we stand our grounds to you Florida now its your move, make the right choice. We can all do this, lets take this stand if Florida don't want to listen to our voices, than maybe the lack of money we spend to go toward that state will speak for us.

Rolling Stones Cover(Its Just Good Business)

I am listening to these people over and over again having their opinions about their outrage over the Rolling Stone's Cover of the Boston Bomber. I have yet to understand why so many people are outraged by this. Rolling Stone is a Magazine, which is a business and what are businesses in to do, make money of course. Rolling Stone is trying to make money and they came up with the idea of putting the Boston Bomber on the cover. Well people are saying this cover is glamorizing him, why is the so glamorous. It is the same picture that was head lined in the New York Times and they call him the bomber. Where is the glamorous part and why are people so mad with a business trying to make sells. If I walked in a store I would pick the magazine up just because of this cover, it would catch my attention and it would make me wonder what is inside. Magazines, just as newspaper are in it to make money, any media will tell you that to make money you have to get peoples attention. I see nothing this magazine hurt, the bomber is in jail. It is like his brother who was killed in the incident, Boston refused to have his body buried anywhere in the State and why not, the man was dead and there was nothing else he could do to anyone. Why not let the man be buried, instead they just shipped his body away. I live in Virginia and I agree, everyone deserves a burial. Why was everyone so upset about a cemetery putting him in a grave. It is a grave people, please get real. Rolling Stone is a magazine, and the bomber face was on the cover, come on get over it. Business is Business and life will go on.

Sister Wives(Two Thumbs Up)

Judge if you want but I am a big fan of the show "sister wives". I began watching the show because I am not one to judge until I actually watch something first, so when the show first came on, I said that said interesting and I decided I would watch to see how it actual works for a man and four wives. As I began learning about Cody and his three wives at the time, I began understand that they lived as we did but he just had three women to down with instead of one and a whole lot of children. They all lived under one roof and the way the house was built at the time I thought was neat. Each woman had their own space but at the same time was under the same roof, they took care each others children and they helped each other cooked. When I first listen to Cody talk, I thought to myself this is just a man trying to have his cake and eat it too, but after learning about Cody and his immediate family I found he grew up in this life style. His parents raise Cody in this same life style and this is what he knew. I began listening to the children and understood that they were like any other kids but they had multiple mothers, the kids went to school with children who were growing up just like them with multiple mothers, so they had others who knew what they were going through. The family are Mormons and actually real religious people. As I continue to watch the show I was shocked when they took of a possible fourth wife and thought now Cody is getting crazy, but realized that Cody's first wife, who is my personal favorite, Meridith suggested that Cody take Robin in as a wife. That is correct Merry pushed Cody and Robin together and she actually became very close friends with Robin. I was more shocked when the other two wives became jealous of Robin and began to understand that these women are just like us they get jealous, they argue and they do have their issues. I really wanted to see how Cody worked out his sleeping arrangement, but after watching the show, I notice that each women are satisfied with their time and he just take turns with each one. I notice that Meridith, who is Cody's first and in the eye of the law, his only real wife, is a very given woman. Meridith had to be giving because she has shared her husband three times, and be a part of each ceremony. One season I notice they began focusing on their children and I really like this because I listen to the children talk and understand that these children have a mind of their own and they get to choose rather or not they will live this life style and they know that they have this choice. Most of the ones who are teenagers now said they will not live this life style, although they lover their multiple mothers and multiple siblings, they know it is not the life for them. I really have fallen in love with this family and have grown to really like Cody because he his a man stuck between four women and he handles things the best a man with four wives can, he sits back and listen. You can see that the years has taken their tool on Cody, and I guess so because he has the worries of making sure his wives and children are clothed and feed. My biggest thing is the women cooking, these women can cook and I would love to go over their house and eat, these women through down. I enjoy the show, it brings a new light on relationships and how some people think. The Browns has brought to light another Polygamy family and this man has three wives, but he seems more controlling over his wives than Cody. I like the way Cody treats his wives and how they speak their on minds and tell what they are feeling and they put in their own opinions. This other family seems more like a machine and I don't have as much respect for this family in which the husband runs everything. Well I will continue watching sister wives and I hope they have plenty more series ahead of them.

Honey Boo Boo is Back!

Honey Boo Boo is back on tonight and I can not wait. I love the show and have watch Alana before they had the show when she was competing on Toddlers and Tiaras. I know a lot of people say they are disgusting but this family is real. They are real deep down true southerners. I live in the South and one thing we do not do and that is put on an act for anyone. That is why when I seen Alana Toddler for Tiaras, I was like who is this girl because she was funny, she was real and she could careless what any of the other contestants thought of her. Her mom has taught her daughters to be who they are and be proud of it. This family had nothing to be ashamed of, Alana's daddy is a hardworking contractor and takes care of the family. June saves money by being a extreme coupon person and they pay they bills, love their family, and live their life like anyone else. Some people goes as far to say they are rednecks, well they are but they are what us southerners call the down home redneck, who looks after each other and their neighbors. Rednecks is not a bad would, it is just good old country people who were raised up on certain values and although they may not do things the way people like, they do what needs to be done. They may not be classy, walk in heels, cover their faces in make-up, wear prada's but they are good people. So take a look at the Honey Boo Boos and see what they have to offer, you may be surprise. You could not get a more down to earth group of southerners with great sense of humor, as they live their normal lives. I know I will be watching, honey boo boo child.

Oops He did it again(Justin Bieber)

Okay Justin Bieber is up to it again, he has been said to allegedly accused of spitting on someone and this is not the first time. They said it was because Justin though that the guy was taking pictures of him. Can someone tell me this, why is this young man having so many issues with the people around him, some which are fans. Is he so big that he feels he no longer need fans or anyone backing him, or this one of those situations and which he feels that he as a celebrity and can belittle people around him, who he feels is beneath the ground he walks on. People are people and yes, I know Justin is young, but that is no excuse, as a lot say about Chris Brown. Justin age should be not a reason for him to act like the idiot, he has been acting like. Everything from spitting on people, to drug paraphernalia being found, to him speeding through his neighborhood at high rates of speed, have all been getting swept under the rug. Why is the public letting Justin Bieber get away with what he is getting away with. I notice, Justin is not all on the tabloids, nor none of the late night shows has his name in their mouth and a big as Wendy Williams mouth is, why have I not hear her true opinion. I want him to be put on blast as everyone else and not be treated with kid gloves. The public can help save Justin from himself by making him answer for these accusations and actually taking the time to realize what he is doing is wrong. I am not understand why Justin never has to talk and no one has the balls to talk to him. At the rate Justin is going I see him in his thirties believing he is so untouchable and ended up this over zealous drug addict. His addiction will get real bad, and then the public will ask what happen, when he is found dead on his bedroom floor, just a thought of what could be if someone does not intervene. I think intervention is important and I do not care how big a person is or gets, it is never to late to step in. Step in before Justin Bieber goes over the cliff, and I mean literally, with his car.

Nicole Murphy(Visit To an Old Neighboorhood)

I was watching Hollywood exes and Nicole Murphy decided she would visit her old neighborhood she grew up in as a child. She made the statement that she had not been back since she was seventeen.. From this visit Nicole remember having nothing but at the same time having everything. This got me to thinking because a few months back my daughter had a friend and her friend needed a ride home and upon taking this girl home, I realized we were heading for my old neighborhood I grew up in. I been thinking about my childhood as I realized the girl leave right adjacent to the street on which I grew up on and she lived in the house that was across from my best friend house and was the candy lady house on that block. I started rambling on with my daughter and her friend about who lived in what house and the things me and my friends would do and the things we would get into. I realized like Nicole that we had nothing. The house Nicole said she grew up in had a upstairs but the house we lived in was on a one level and only two bedrooms. My mom was raising me and my brother and sister alone and we were poor but we did not know that. We went without anything as  I started to remember but at the same time we had everything. I remember having three meals a day, having fun as kids did, and enjoying every aspect of my life. I know times have change and we have to allow this but what is wrong with bringing our kids up with the same old values. Why do we have to make sure I children have the best of everything and why do the children themselves feel they have to have the best of everything. It is nice to have great things but what happen to those values about not making someone feel they are less because they do not have the same thing. Why do some kids feel they can not hang out with another child because they do have Jordan, Nike or Sperrys shoes on? Why are we as parents not teaching our child to respect anyone for who they are and not what they have on or what they drive? I think as parents a lot of us are failing are children by not bringing them up with those values we had and the mentality that you may have nothing but at the same time you can have everything. I think more people should take the time like Nicole and myself and go back to the old neighborhoods and remember how it was growing up, even though I know some people had a rougher childhood then we may have had, I still think there were people who may have been in your life that help you overcome it.  I thought about as a child how grown ups got involved in our lives, if they saw us doing something wrong they would call our mother and yes she would be waiting at the door, not with the yelling mentality but with that mentality of let me sit you down and tell you why it was wrong. We may not be able to change the world but we can give our children that memory we had of growing up and why it is so important to treat others, rather rich or poor with the same respect and then maybe the world would be a better place. Take time to go back and reflect, maybe even take your children with you.

Please Leave Chris Brown Alone!!!!!

This is a shout out for the should call justice system, any judges, and any lawyers who are working to put such a young talented person away for years just to ruin his reputation. The justice system works in mysterious ways and one of those ways is for a judge to revoke Chris Brown probation based on someone saying he did a hit and run, when he is staying there at the scene and another when this person claim they were given false information. Why is this justice system so pressured to put this young talented man away, when there are other matters that are more serious and pressing. I am listening to the charges being brought up against him and one was that he did not do all of his community service, now correct me if I am wrong, should not someone who works in the judicial system or with the community program in which he was doing his service kept a record of this. If they were told he was suppose to do so many hours of service, than why was this not followed by those responsible for keeping the record. Why do the judges insist that Chris Brown owes them more, like a jail sentence when, George Zimmerman walks without anytime served for killing a person, and a 45 year old man walks away after shooting a 17 year old because he played his music to loud. Why are these judges focused on people like Chris Brown who did do some community service and a person like Justin Bieber , almost killed a person and his children in a car, gets caught with illegal judge and he does not even go to court for any of it. The entire neighborhood said Justin is constantly speeding through the neighborhood at high rates of speed, what will it take to stop him, does he have to kill someone and then they think about taking actions. Justin Bieber seems like a little brat to me and the justice system is not doing anything by not doing anything, they will wait until it is too late and then say why did he die at such a young age, he was a great singer. It is almost like a Miley Cyrus situation, when I smoke it up nothing is said cause I am Miley Cyrus and I will always get ahead. The law can't touch me because I am too far gone and the only way to stop me is for me do my own harm. Now with all this is being said, why is the law still trying to punish Chris Brown, leave the young man alone and let him like you have let the others go own with his song. I tell you what. let Chris go on trial and let his peers make a judgement, like George Zimmerman was given and than maybe Chris Brown can walk free with a smile on his face. So as I pled out to this country and the judges that be, leave Chris Brown alone and get the drugs of the street.

Marriage Boot Camp Bridezillas(Melissa and Chris?)

Remember I talked about this show before, now I just finish watching a recording because I always do not get to watch it on time. From the time I watched the show I have noticed that Porsha and Byron have had some serious issues and I knew this from the show Bridezilla when they got married. Personally I think they should never have been married, but I have a serious issue with the couple Melissa and Chris. I have been watching the show and I know that Melissa actually would go out on Chris and leave him home only while she party with another man and according to this other guy it has been more than just partying. Now I have fail to see where the boot camp counselors have pointed out this issue in Chris and Melissa relationship. The counselors have come down hard on Byron and Porsha and I can understand why because they do have serious issues but so do Melissa and Chris. If the counselors do not get Chris to confront Melissa about her infidelity than I think Melissa will continue to go out without Chris and hang with this other guy. Chris is a nice guy but he should get the balls to say to his wife why her going out with another guy and lying about who she is hanging out with is hurting him. Chris said he knew his wife was not going out with the girls like she said and when he tried calling her on her cell phone, she does not pick up her phone. The boot camp has brought people to the camp to help some of the couples resolve certain problems, if you ask me I think the boot camp should bring that guy Melissa hangs out with, whom she say is her best friend, and give Chris the opportunity to ask him any question he want. I think Chris needs clarification and Melissa needs to stop putting on that phony act so that she does not have to answer the real hard questions. Watching the show I believe Melissa has the boot camp counselors fooled, they do not even tackle Chris and Melissa true issues, they tell Melissa and Chris how great they have been at their activities but please explain to me when will Melissa answer the big question about this other guy in her life. She has a man friend who she hang out with and will this stop when she go back home or will she continue to hang out with this friend and ignore her husband telephone calls while she is with her so called friends.

Breaking Amish (LA)

Have anyone seen the commercials on the new Breaking Amish LA. Well of course they have made it know that Andrew, Abe's brother will be on this one. What I have notice from the clips I have seen, this Amish series will be more made up than the original one. I think this one is just some young Amish kids who watched the original Amish series, found out that this Amish people made money and now they want to try it or either make money for their family as well. I think the Amish are like the rest of us, the economy is so bad and people are buying less products and laws have been changed that is costing everyone and it is hitting the Amish community hard, so why not have the young kids do programs that can make their community money. People say that the Amish are so different from us but other than living without certain things, they think and in a lot of situations act like anyone else. Why do people think it is so easy for these people to the young people to adjust to the American way of life. They have ideas and they are torn like all of us are, rather to do wrong or right. I do not think that the LA show will compare to the original show, just because I think they are just making a copy cat and a lot of the show will just image the original show. I think the kids on LA will try to mimic some of the original show kids. Although this may happen, I will still be watching, just to check it out and may be posting my opinion on rather I was right or wrong on my judgement.

Naked and Afraid

Does anyone watch this new program. It is called Naked and Afraid and it comes on Discovery channel. Now I have not started watching this program from the beginning so I do not know how the entire process works. All I know is that they put a strange couple, one woman and one man in a jungle of woods out in some wild country and they take all of their clothing, this includes their shoes. The couple is given a chance to bring one item they think that will help the in the wilderness. Okay this show reminds me a little of the survivor other than it does not have a group of people trying to survivor on nature but just two persons. Another interesting part for me is that at night the camera people leave and leave the couples with only their personally cameras to film their night episodes. Now this is interesting because anything can go on at night and it is funny to see how people react each time they hear a noise, this is something I would do. I would not be able to sleep at night from the thought of hearing noises around me and would probably get no sleep. The bad thing about the show I found, is that you do not get to choose who you partner with and some of the people get some really sorry people. I was just watching this girl Laura Zerra and she kicks but, I think that survivor should make her and offer to go on their show, but her partner Clint sucks. I know every man can not be this big he-man but Clint is a sorry excuse, all he does is complain about Laura and refuses to try and work with her or eat the food she has found. Clint is one of those men that say he is a try survivor when he can only survive with a remote in one had a bag of chips in the other. Anyway the show is interesting but I do not know how to judge it because it is sort of weird. Like I said I did not watch the show from the very beginning so I do not know if these people get a prize at the end if they make it the 21 days. Do they have to both do the 21 days to get the prize? Maybe I have to look up the show information to find out how this work. In the meantime I will keep watching and wondering why have these naked people choose to take on this very strange challenge. I do not know what it is but I can not stop watching, maybe its the fascination with them being naked and the thought of bugs crawling up them. I know, I know, that is just nasty. Anyway I think it would make a great new survivor if the producers of survivors would look at this show and pick some of the people they think are the toughest ones and have the Naked and Scared survivors go against some of the ex-survivors competitors. They could call it the, "Survivor" The Covered and Uncovered, cute right.

Not Guilty Not Guilty Not Guilty?(George Zimmerman)

That is what the jury has decided that George Zimmerman is not guilty. Well I personally felt that this was the direction it was headed in anyway. Day after day after day my husband would watch the case and I would pick up pieces of what the prosecution was saying but the little pieces I was picking up did not make any since. So I had made it up in my mind that the jury would not prosecute with the confusion that I picked up on. There was holes everywhere and it was allowed on the prosecutors parts as well as the judges. A lot of people said this case was a waste of time and it practically was, I wrote a year ago about Justice for Treyvon Martin, I guess I should have written about the future Unjust of Treyvon Martin because I saw it coming. The only thing I can say about this case without going into a race factor is that George Zimmerman was found guilty by a jury, but he has not been found innocent by the ultimate maker and that is when the true justice will prevail. There is a lot of people who do not believe in a life after but most of us do and those of us who do believe that when you do something you know is wrong, than there will be that day when you will have to face and answer to your maker. Now when I say your maker most people that I talk about God and yes God is my maker as well as other, but for those who has choose a life of sin, I choose to believe your maker is another, dare I say Satan. I believe that you may not have to answer here and now for something that you know is wrong but when you go to that other life you will stand there and a sentence will truly be given that is fit. Treyvon has passed and I will choose not to forget, the only true thing that bothers me is the fact that I am bother that my son may choose to walk to a store at night and cut through a neighborhood and be shoot because he choose to do so. Treyvon was walking, not breaking through a door, not climbing through a window, not harassing anyone, just walking. When  I was a child me and my friends would always walk to the store at night to get candy, we would walk late during the night in the summer late and we walk through neighborhoods with bags of candy and cans of soda in our hands and never once did we have to worry about someone saying we were suspious or having to worry about someone calling the cops on us. I am sure Zimmerman remembers when he was young and him and his friends walk to the stores during the night in the summer, so why did he see it as a problem with this particular person. I would like to know if any of the jury members can answer if anything is wrong with a child who is out of school for the summer, walking at night to a store and getting candy. I would like to know if any of the jury members themselves remember doing this. Life do go on for some people and some choose to believe in his innocents why others choose to believe in his guiltiness. I have one opinion that I really would like to put out to the world and that is that George Zimmerman although found not guilty, should not be allowed to carry a gun and he definitely should not be on anyone Police force, neighborhood watch or security. There was a reason that he was found not competent to join the force in Northern Virginia, that is where a lot of government workers as well as politicians stay and they saw red flags, imagine that.

BridezillaI(Why does it have to end)

I bridezilla is one of my favorite reality shows and the reason being that I love to watch people putting together their weddings, but what makes this show more interesting is that is shows what a person really goes through when they are trying to arrange a wedding on a budget and how these soon to be spouses handle each other as their prepare for their day of matrimony together. The show too meets beat out the other shows like say yes to the dress and four weddings because this show gives us the real side of planning a wedding and we get to see how ugly it can really get. When people are stressed out people react in ways you would have never had thought and weddings are one of those situations in which people seem to loose all their facilities because they forget what about what it really all about and start to get into trying to have these great weddings to impress their friends and family and a lot of times they can not afford it and things do not always go their way. It focuses on the bride because usually the brides catch the rough end of it because they are the ones doing the planning and coordinating. The men usually have to just get their groomsmen suit and they are straight, so because of the stress a lot of time the soon to be bride will flake out on the soon to be groom. It is great and in some cases it is funny. I was sorry to hear that this year will be the last season they will be filming this show. They have bridezilla boot camp out now and most of these couples that are in the boot camp are as interesting as they were on the show bridezilla. I for one think they should continue to do more bridezilla shows because I know they will never run out of weddings to film and I definitely think they should continue with the boot camp because I know of a lot more couples that were on the show that could probably use some therapy about now.

Joan Rivers

I am a big Joan Rivers fan and I love her reality show. I know some people say she can be annoying but I really like her down to earth, smart responses to people. I have always like Joan's comedy and wanted to actually go see her in person, but never could afford it. After watching her reality show, I have learned more things about Joan that I have never known and one thing is she is a very generous woman. She does not mind trying things for the first time and will tell you rather she likes it or not. She has friends whom she has met over the years that she keeps in touch with and she has lived a simple life despite of the money she has made. I really like watching the show and seeing the love Joan shows for her grandson and her daughter. She gives her daughter Melissa a hard time but I think this is all part of being a mother, we deserve to give our children the hard time they gave us when they were growing up. I like how her employees are more like part of her family and she makes that possible by including them in every aspect of her life, that includes her plastic surgeries. Joan is funny and she keeps me laughing and the older she gets I think the funnier she gets. She does not give us that sweet old lady mentality, but that raw older woman truth. Joan shows us how life should be lived as we get older and she enjoys every minute of it. I want to live my life like Joan and that is full of laughs, full of family, full of friends and full of fun. Also Joan is a great dresser, I do not know if someone helps her with picking out her style or what but she dresses better than some of these young celebrities that are out today. I myself could use Joan as fashion consultant because every time I look at her, I feel person in bum clothing. Maybe I will get to she you one day in person Joan, but I guess I better make it soon because I know your time is ticking, ha ha, I know Joan will find that funny because she does not mind a good joke.

Kate Middleton's baby

First and foremost I want to say congratulations on William's and Kate's baby girl. Just kidding, I know everyone is on a watch for the baby that will be born to the Prince and his wife and I am one of those people, but in my personal opinion I think the baby is here and they are just enjoying the time with their baby to get acquainted and enjoy the little one. It has got to be a lot of pressure, although you are in the lime light as  part of the royal family, to have a baby that the entire world wants to meet. Everyone wants to show off their baby but in due time, when you are ready and for someone who is so much in the public eye, you have to almost share with the entire world the birth and the baby itself. I can not fault William and Kate if they want to take this one moment to not be in the public eye and just enjoy their baby. I can not blame them is they have the baby secretly and not tell the world for some weeks later that the baby was born and wait to actually bring the baby in public. We all should and I think we all who have children do understand why this is so private and why we should just wait as we are doing for Kim Kardashian baby to make her public appearance, although personally for me Kim's baby does not compare to the anticipation of Kate's and Williams baby. I also have to give a thumbs up to William and Kate for not telling the public what sex their baby is, this too is a private moment and even if they choose themselves to find out, it is none of our business. We as people need to sit back and be patient. Kate and William will introduce their little one when they feel it is time and that is when they are ready to bring him or her into the public shadow. This little one will have plenty of time to be photographed by the public so why not leave its birth as that special moments for the parents and close family. We can wait and we will wait until the royal family is ready. As for my guess about what the baby will be, of course I have to put my two cents in it. I think it will be a gorgeous baby girl who will look like her grandmother and for me, now this is in my mind only, will have a great name like Diana Elizabeth. She will walk in the light of her grandmother Princess Diana and rain like her great grandmother Elizabeth.

Holllywood Exes

Okay I watched Hollywood exes and was glad to see it back on but I was really surprised by something the women said on television and that was having black cards by a boyfriend. Now I am a woman that does no believe in a man being a cheap skate but I have to say it was kind of funny listening to these women talk about how the man gave them cards to do whatever and they gladly accept them. The women especially Jessica act as though it was normal for her to receive a card from any man she is dating. I could understand Nicole's situation a little better because she is engage to the man in her life and he is entrusting her to handle business while he is in a different state and they should be married soon, but for a boyfriend who gives a women a card to shop is like a boyfriend who is paying for the woman to stay with him. I guess these woman only deal with rich people so if you deal with reach people you only expect the best and that is money to be spoiled with. It is funny because I watch these women who go through their lives and they are basically showing people that although they were married to celebrities they live very normal lives. That is not the case though because the way some of these women shop, is way beyond what some of us women who did not marry celebrities are use to and expect of in alimony, if we get alimony. These women have to think differently because of the lifestyle they lived and be careful, especially in the process of dating to ensure a person is not dating them just because they were once married to some celebrity or because of some fame they think they may receive because of it. If I was these women and I was one of the available one's I would make sure not to let any person I was dating to know of my ex husband until I see it was getting serious and we have been in the dating process for a while and what I mean by a while, about a year. Some people may think a year is to long to be in a relationship not to tell the person about your ex but I think a year is just right, and no it lying it s just with holding the truth for your own protection. They will understand later and if they do not than that will be their lost.

Anyone Watch the show the Game

Does anyone watch the show the Game and can you please tell me what direction are they going in. I know that the Game was always based on the people looking fabulous and that there is always drama with a little spice thrown in the scenes but they have gotten to point that when I think they will do one thing, they do something totally different. I thought Tasha was going to marry Pookie and that their marriage would be a little rocky, especially with Pookie going on tour with his celebrities, but never did I think they would bring Rick Fox back into Tasha's life to ruin her relationship wit Pookie and Tasha being the age she is I was thinking would have her mind made up on what she wanted not how to have her cake and eat it too. I like the two new additions because they add fresh new faces to the cast and they are both great actors, but I did not see Brandy as being a permanent part of the cast and I was looking for Kelly to return but recast with another actor. I also wanted to see Malik with someone who was for him, but I guess Tasha and Malik could not both have great relationships because this is just not this family life style, married and happy or even in a great relationship. Anyway I am looking for a little shake up on the cast and a surprise for one of the cast members role. I have to admit, the Game has not fail me in their surprises, just a little disappointment on how some things pan out but that is part of a spectacular show like the Game and this is why so many fans, like me wanted the show back on the air. It had me from the beginning thinking that was how football players lives are really played out.

The Kardashians??????

Can someone please tell me why the Kardashians are still on television and who in the world order multiple shows. When you get to a point enough is enough and the Kardashians are enough. They are almost in our lives on a everyday basis and they are on television constantly, from playing reruns over and over and over again on television, to showing Kim and Kourtney to Kourtney and Khloe and so and so on. Well please help those who like me to get them out of my living room. I do not want to turn on the television everyday and see they name in highlights. I know for them to be seen everyday is money in their pockets, but I feel that they have made enough money of people stupidity and now it is some other family turn to benefit from America's money. There are a lot of persons out there who want to live the American dream and there are a lot of persons with much more talent than looking good and getting naked or telling your entire business to the world to get peoples interest. I personally could put out more information on my family life and step family life that would put the Kardashian life to same. My family has so much drama, it is enough for a life time and most of the drama field people are still living. So I know there are other families who could start a show that would catch our attention more than the Kardashians because watching Bruce Jenner get a hearing aide is not cutting it. Enough is Enough and apparently the Kardashian's has to run out of things to do on television, except to actually perform a sex act in front of a camera. Lets do a Kardashian rehab show in which we have people come on and Dr. Drew gives them advice on why watching the Kardashian is now a thing of the past and why they have to start tuning out instead of tuning into them.

Dance Mom (Less Cathy Please!)

Okay I watch dance moms and I am a fan of the show and the reason that I am a fan of the show is because of Abby. Now I know a lot of you are really, why does she like Abby. If you have been watching dance moms from the beginning than you would understand that the reason the show has been a success is because of the performance that Abby has had these group of girls to do and the way be which she goes by training these girls. I think the best part of the show is the performance that Abby gets these girls to do and I will have to say, they are some great performance. One that really sticks with me is the one in which the young girls did a text and driving performance and what could happen in this case. It was so heartfelt and it really had me at home crying. Now lately I have notice that dance moms have been focusing on Cathy and the apple cores, as they call them. I am not at all a fan of Cathy because first of all I think she is phony and I personally would like to know her background in dancing, that makes her such and expert. I have never seen Cathy actually teach her students anything, she always hire people to teach. So why would someone who knows nothing about dancing get on a show about dancing just to tease another woman who has had dancing as a part of her entire life. Abby mother was a dancer and dance instructor so only does it make since that she is in the field of dancing. Cathy stands to the side and just hope that the people she hired will train her students to wind competitions and she can get bragging rights for something in which she has no part of, accept to pay the instructors to make her look good. I admire Abby more than I do Cathy and I do not like Cathy or her dance parents attitude towards Abby's group of students and parents. I have notice that the show is giving Cathy and her parents more air time and I do not agree with it. I would rather the show focus on another group of students and parents from Abby's group rather than put Cathy in the fore front. Why put someone in the fore front who does not strive to do what they are there to do and that is the best performance ever. Abby may argue with the parents and students but she only do this because she expects the best and she gets the best because of this. Lets cut back Cathy and focus back on Abby and some of her parents.

Shout out to Jay-Z

I am not a big fan of Jay-Z and I have only heard his music maybe twice but I watch part of an show in which he talks about the fear of raising his daughter and how not having his father in his life may affect this. I watched Jay-Z really get choked up as he talked about how he was not sure if he was treating his wife and daughter the way he should be treating them based on a male figure in his life, because he was not sure, since he did not have his Father in his life to teach or to watch how he treated a women. I was really touched by the small episode I saw and I wanted reassure Jay-Z that he has nothing to worry about. I think a lot of people think because they did not have a certain parent in their lives than they really missed out. It is true that having both parents in your life can be beneficial but you have to understand that you maybe who you are because that parent was not there. You may have decided to be a strong male figure because you did not have that strong male figure in your life or you may decide to be that great up standing women because you did not have that women figure in your life. Jay-Z you also have to remember that if your father was not there, it may have been a good thing. If he decided not to be in your life, this may be because he was not that strong male figure. Your father may have been one who was a bad example, a so call man who hit on woman or hit on his children. If he decided that he could not be there than maybe and this is where God come into play, maybe it was a good thing. Maybe you are that strong figure because you saw it on tv that of which a real strong male figure should be and not in reality of what a male figure should not be like. I am a female and I grew up without a male figure in my life as well and Jay-Z I want to tell you that yeah it hurt as I became a teenager and I watched my friends with their father but I also saw some of my friends with fathers that were alcoholics and I sad to say I had one friend that had a father that touched her in ways a father should not touch a daughter. What I realized as I was growing and thinking about a father was that I would not make the mistake that was made in my life and if I was to have daughters, I would make sure I choose a man who I saw would not only help me raise a child but a beautiful women inside and out. Jay-Z I will give you the advice that has been given down through the years and that is to raise a daughter will thrive through life than you have to treat her mother with respect. My husband was thirty seven years old when we had our child and he knew nothing of raising a child, he was nervous and I saw a look of his face of dismay but as the years went along and my husband help me help our child grow, that extinct that everyone talks about that kicks in for a mother, kicks in for a father too. My husband began raising our daughter as though he had been doing it for years and I can tell you this Jay-Z you don't have to worry if you are doing it right but just know the fact that you being there for your daughter is enough for her and don't worry she will let you know what to do. Your daughter will guide you every step of the way, she will let you know when she wants a hug, she will let you know when she wants you to wipe her tears, she will let you know when she wants you to hold her hand and she will let you know when you can let go of her hand, the biggest thing you can do for your daughter is be there when she needs it. No matter what happens with your relationship with your wife, just be there for your daughter. My husband and my daughter has such a tight bond that I find myself getting jealous at times, but then I think God he is in her life anytime she needs it and Jay-Z I know you will be there for Blue as well. My daughter is now 18 and will be going into the air force in August and my husband knows it is time to let go of her hand, they have really been spending a lot of time together before she leaves and he told me that he has done all that he can do and my response was 'the job you have done will never end, you have planted that seed and she has listened, now believe in God that the seed you planted will continue to grow into that beautiful beautiful flower. Plant that seed Jay-Z and watch it grow, don't worry that your father not being in your life will affect how you raise your child because the feeling that you feel while you watch Blue grow will tell you the job you are doing is right and like I said she will let you know as well.
