Are we as Americans becoming as stupid as we appear or are we just refusing to open our eyes to what is happening around us.

Real Husband of Hollywood(Really!!!)
Okay come on, has anyone watched the real husbands of hollywood because I have and I just do not get it. I know the men made this show up as a funny side to the real ex-wives of hollywood doing their real reality shows. But come on really we should understand that the ex wives of some hollywood husbands had to vent about their marriage to these ex hollywood men and why not vent and make money at the same time. Why not let some people of the world, like me, who are really interested know what went on in their married lives with these hollywood men. I think it is great that they are letting people know that marriages, especially those of hollywood are not easy. Marriage is hardwork and often to many times people look at these hollywood marriges as being perfect or these fake movies that shows these perfect marriage as real marriages. I know the men just are sore that the women actually went on television and told some insite on being married to a hollywood personality but let it go men. Let the women have their time and let them do their show, don't counter act by doing a show that makes fun of the show the women are doing, just to make a point that these reality shows are stupid. For me these shows are not stupid, but I think your show Real Husbands of Hollywood is stupid and there is nothing funny about it. I looked at the show a few times because I did not want to judge it on the first show but out of each of these few times I could not find anything entertaining about the show. I don't get the entire point and I am trying to understand, why the men would even make a show like this other than they thought they themselves could make money off what reality shows are doing, but for me reality shows are alot more entertaining then this show and the bad part about it most of the reality show persons are not top actors like the husband of hollywood men suppose to be. What does it mean when unknown reality stars entertain better than real actors entertain. I personally think this show should just go west some where and keep going. I am on the East coast and I could care less if the show gets lost in Bermuda Triangle. I am being told the show is a number one show, I am hoping it is a joke but if not, I think it should be on the funny pages and the title should be the clowns of hollywood. I have to give this show a thumbs down, although some of the actors I do like, unlike most of the people out there I am not a Kevin Hart fan at all, I just don't see the funny, just the over loudness, rudeness and just right down in the way. He is like a fly who you want to swat but you can't seem to get rid of him. Anyway Kevin I am sure you are a okay human being in person but as for television, you are a little to loud to me, tone it down, yelling does not always get people attention, sometimes silent is golden.

America Got Talent
This blog is a personal note for my family memeber, I have always been a fan of the show America Got Talent and recently the VSU choir along with my cousin Bernard Walker sang a gospel song with of course a little twist to it and they made it to Vegas. I have always been proud of my cousin because he has one of the greatest voice I have every heard come out of a person and he has always and I mean always understood that this is a gift that God has bestowed on him and he knows how and why he should use it. While watching them same and listening to the judges make comments about the choir, I really was brought to tears when Howie said the choir was very lucky to have Bernard with their group and they are. Melvin is a singer and the group, as me and the rest of the family already knew is very luck to have him with them. I will continue to follow the show and its entirety for the remaining of this season, rather the choir goes on or not but I have to ask me supporters to watch the show and support the VSU choir and Melvin and help them to go as far as God will let them go. They are all a great group of people, with God in their hearts and they sang from a place that he has put them. Something I know hard for some people to understand but you will understand if you follow the show and listen to them sing, it is a spirit that comes over you that will be understood by many, why they were put on the show to share it. Please help me and my family support VSU choir on America Got Talent. And as a shout out to Bernard Walker(who we call Melvin), we are here for you we are praying for you and we believe in you. Go Melvin.
Paula Dean
Paula Paula Paula, what can I not say about Paula Dean. She said what she said and she does not have any empathy for what was said. I saw the interviews she have done and have not a tear have ran down those juicy cheeks. I am a what you call a person of color as I like to say because I am far from black, but what Paula said and how she calls herself apologizing was a joke too me and others of color. What I notice is most news persons who talk about Paula's heart felt apology, shall I dare say are whites, and they talk about how very heart warming and tear felt was Paula's apology. Well from a person of color let me give my opinion. I felt her apology was a very bad acting job and whomever her coach was she should fire them, because we of people of color had to put up with all kinds of racism and we have had people apologize for it after the fact, some are apologies that we will usually say okay we accept that as a sorry will not do it again and some we just say, I really could understand it was a slip up and this person was not thinking at the time. But Paula had plenty of time to think before she did her interviews and if she really was as sorry as she claims, why not give an interview right away and don't blame the people you made the comments about the ones at fault for you using the n-word. If you used the n-word than it was you who used the n-word, you are the owner of your own actions and words. No real women who is in their sixties should blame someone else for their actions or get their children and grandchildren to pled their case. A women in her sixties should stand on her own two feets, admit when she has really made a mistake, tell what she done was wrong and move on with her life. People talked about Martha Stewart when she went to jail for not telling on her sources, well I as a person of color and a women can say Martha Stewart stood on her own two feet, admitted when she was wrong and did her time instead of taking down others with her. Martha Stewart, in case you are not aware of her Paula Dean is a real women and you could take some notes from her. I personally think you Paula Dean should admit what you said and not dance around it and explain to America, especially people of color who have brought your products over the year, as to why what you said was wrong and why you will not accept this in your life anymore, because God is more powerful than any millions you may have and you will have to face him if you do not face us and explain why those pearly gates should open for you. As for the people who are defending Paula Dean, I am praying for you all because I do know it is better to forgive and believe me I have already forgiven her but you have to remember that defending ignorance is why it continues on.

Shout Out To Amanda Bynes
This letter is from me to Amanda Bynes and I really hope you get a chance to read this. I did not know Amanda was having what the media is now saying is a lot of issues. I had always wondered what happen to Amanda after that terrific show she had. My daughter was a big fan of Amanda and watch her show on nick all the time which in return got me to watching the show because I wanted to be aware of what my daughter was looking at. After watching Amanda show for the first time I found myself really liking it and I began watching it on my own without my daughter because I found this yound lady so talented and not only that her show was wholesome, it was good clean fun. I loved all the characters she played, especially the one with being Amanda's biggest fan because I started believing I was Amanda's biggest fan. One day I was looking for the show and it was no longer coming on, I was really upset and wondered what would happen to the very talented girl. I figured later on that she would go on to make many more great shows and keep us laughing as she had done before, but no Amanda, year after year no Amanda. I asked my daughter if she seen Amanda and she said on some shows and in a movie but nothing regular. I wanted to know why such a talented girl as Amanda would be taking out the lime light and now I hear of Amanda in the news and how she has been in trouble for a while, I did not know this and began wondering when did all this happen, had I no paid attention to Amanda in the news. I was wonder if Amanda was doing this for attention so that she could get back into the lime light or did she just go on the big down spiral when she could no longer get parts or a television show as she had in the past. Why would not such a talented young person be given a chance to get a new show? Did the producer think she was a has been because me as a fan was looking for her show even after it was cancelled and could not understand why such a great wholesome show would be taken of the air all together. Why not play the show in reruns so other young girls could watch it? I want to send support to Amanda because I know that very talented person is still there and as for her drug abuse, Amanda I pray you make that choice and clean up and come back to us your fans and make another great wholesome program that we can once again sit down and watch with you being as funny as people like Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, Tracy Alman, see they all continued in thier older ages to keep us laughing. Come back to us Amanda with that great sense of humor.
Long Island Medium
What can I say about the reality show Long Island Medium, well I can say a lot and to began I am really not a fan and I choose not to belive. I watched Psychics over the years talk about predicting people future and reading their current life. I know a Psychic claims to predict your future as a medium is suppose to be totally different and is suppose to have that power to talk to the dead. These so called mediums have that ability to look at you and bring forth someone you lost very dear to you and channel what they want to say to you through themselves. Now people have in the past years really believed in Psychics and even paid good money to get readings from them and in the last few years most of these psychics have been determined to be fake, someone so many people were really beliving in and even shaping the way they lived their lives on what someone like a psychic told them. Now a medium may do their readings a little different, they do not actually bring you promise of what your future will be but they do so call talk to someone of your past. This alone to me can be as hurtful as a psychic telling you about this so called promised future. I have lost my mother and brother whom I was very close to and I do not belive someone like this Long Island Medium can either hold my hand or look into my eyes to tell me what they are saying to me from their after life. I hear her say she has this gift and knows that God gave it too her to help people, it leads me to question did God really give her this so called gift or is it people who choose to belive so they want us to belive by bringing it into our living rooms. As much as I would love to talk to my mother and brother, I already belive I do when I get on my knees and pray and receive as sign that reminds me of them. When you talk about someone who has died in your life that you were close to you tend to get sentimental anyway, and what I belive this medium does is tap into those deep feelings and once they come to the surface most people lose all thought of reality, those feelings of what that person was meaning to you began flowing back in groves. I myself when I began talking to someone about the things me and my mom did together, I can not hold back the feeling and it is like that person whom I am talking with me understands what I am going through, when in reality they may not have known my mom but they can sympathize with me because they may have lost their mother or they may have someone close whom they have lost. I am sorry and I know this may be hurtful to some people but I am not a beliver of Long Island Medium, Teresa Caputo and although I think she may not be really promising anything, I think it is sad that some people have to live off others pass memories. I do not belive mediums as I did not belive psychics. I am a person who gives anyone a chance and I have sit and listen to psychics and mediums as well but I just do not belive in this so called gift. I have heard of people hearing something from someone who has pass away or something weird happen, and I do belive this can happen but I do not belive in full blown readings and talking to that person from the other side to give you some kind of relief from a unsolved difference. Long Island Medium is a show I can not get into, especially when she jumps from the vehicle when driving through a drive through because she felt something on someone in the store, unbeliveable.

Bravo Kevin O'Leary
I am a fan of the show Shark Tank and I have come to really enjoy watching people who are trying to get their own businesses started and I enjoy watching the judges and the advice they give these people. One in particular judge that is hard noise and who I really like because I always thought that although he seem to be tough on a lot of these clients, he really offers some good advice and I can relate to his advice. Now I was sitting home on a Friday night channel surfing trying to find something interesting to me to look at and I noticed that 20/20 was having one of my favorite judge who just happen to be Kevin O'Leary from the shark tank so I decided I would look at 20/20 just to see what Mr. O'Leary had to say. I heard about O'Leary no nonsense way he runs his business and how this not onoy apply to his employees but also his family. I have to say I really understand what O'Leary was saying, life is not easy and nothing comes to anyone who starts a business easy so why should he make it easy for others. Life is tough and you have to be tough to survive it and this is something I truly belive. I have to admit when I started watching shark tank I knew none of the judges but of the products and businesses they own and Mr. O'Leary I did not know at all and after watching the show for a while I understood him and really started aheading his advice and business and how you handle certain situations, so it did not suprise me the things he mentioned on twenty twenty. I really have to say the most interesting part of his conversation on 20/20 was when he mentioned about not giving a hand out to his children. Mr. O'Leary said he would pay for his kids education and this includes as much education they want but after that they are on their own. Too this I say bravo Kevin O'Leary, children have to understand that parents who may have money does not mean they are obligated to pass this money on too their children or give the children hand outs for the rest of their lives. I think one of the biggest problems with rich people children is that the parents do not teach the children as they grow that the money they have is their money and not the children. They buy their children everything with not questions asked instead of making their children earn the items they buy them. Children need to understand the value of money and just because you did not grow up with money it is no need to say I will just give me kids everything they want if I beoome rich, you can still teach your children the value of a dollar. Do no hurt your children by just buying them everything without them understanding how important it is to work and save their own money, if you do not you may find yourself paying for these childrent the rest of your life. O'Leary have the right idea, you can pay for their education that will lead them towards their own rewards and they will understand hardwork from college as well as life and become well rounded adults or you can hand them everything without making them work for it and end up with children who drop out of high school and rely on your money to help them survive and what if your money run out or you pass away and your uneducated child has to run your business. People say money can buy anything and this includes people to help you but how do you know if these people are cheating you or not or if they are stealing from your business. Parents are not obligated to take care of a child for the rest of their lives just because you helped creat them, there a point as they choose to belive that when they turn 17 that they are grown and being grown means providing for yourself. I think a lot of American businesses are failing because parents are leaving them to children who only care about how much money they can make and not about the company itself. We need more parents like O'Leary who say I will teach you to fish and feed you for a lifetime attitude as I call it and for those of you who do not know what this means it is a quote that says "If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime. O'Leary is teaching his children to stand on their own two feet which will feed them for a lifetime, in education and wealth.

A Different World(Reunion)
Is it just me and does anyone else want to see a Its a Different World reunion. This show was a wholesome show. It was about college life and although it focused on an African American college campus it was something that all college students could relate to at the time. I really enjoyed all the story lines and one of my most favorite aspect of the show was how we watched most of the students grow through the years in college and how they came in as young nieve girls and guys and finished as very mature and wiser men and women. Great show and I would like it if maybe Bill Cosby or someone else could get whomever they can from the show and do a reunion in which we can see how all the cast who played these students characters have grown. I would love to see Whitleys and Dwayne's child, and I would like to know what happen to Ron and Freddie, did the two marry or go their own separate ways. What about Ron and a job, did he find the job he was looking for. What about Kimberely, as it left she was proposed too, is she still married, did she become a doctor and what about Jeles and the Colonel and their little one. I want to know how have they all aged and what are their jobs and are they still married. The show ended well and I do think it was time to end but something that has always bother me and why do people not have reunions for great shows like this after maybe ten years. The show ended in 1993 and now it has almost beeen twenty years since we have seen the show but it is still on my mind after all those years and you know when a show stands on your mind after all those years it was a show worth watching.
