Glee

So I like this show, but there have been a couple of things that just bother me. I understand that in this day and age, it's all about being politically correct. I get it. Whatever. But sometimes, it doesn't have to be expressed THE EXACT SAME WAY everytime. 2 big things.

1. The episode where Mercedes (the chubby girl in Glee) realizes that she is beautiful just the way she is. And then a couple of episodes later, after trying to fit in with the cheerleading squad, she realizes that she doesn't want to change. At this point she has already tried starving herself and fitting in using other methods. I get the point of these episodes. Love yourself for who you are. But they didn't resolve it with the right message! Instead of saying she's perfect the way she is, couldn't they have said "she needs to get to a healthy weight, being obese is not good for you". Nope. They left it with she is perfect. As a person, spirit, soul, she is great, wonderful, perfect. But her body is not healthy and it could affect her later. I say this because I struggle with it, and I don't like hearing on TV that it is ok to be obese. This girl isn't that large so to speak, but by medical standards, she is definitely obese.

2. There is a character on glee named Kurt. He's gay, and the big thing has been that nobody accepts him for who he is and he is always struggling to fit in yet be himself. Fine. No problem with that. Another little side story about him. He has a crush on Finn, the super straight football player Glee member. Finn has been nice to him in the past, considers him a friend, la di da. But then Kurt gets their parents dating, and then they all move in together. Perfect for Kurt because now they have to share a room.

What ended up happenings is Finn gets super uncomfortable and flips out on Kurt. He say offensive things, uses gay slander, and really upsets Kurt's dad. Agree. He shouldn't have said those things. Definitely shouldn't have. Hate is awful and that was what that was. BUT. They glossed over the fact that Kurt WAS hitting on Finn, even though Finn had already repeatedly shown no interest. They glossed over the fact that Kurt wasn't trying to make Finn comfortable, he was trying to get him to "switch sides". He wasn't accepting Finn... isn't that like reverse discrimination? I'm not so up to date on my PC talk...but it drives me nuts.

Finn was wrong, but so was Kurt. Except it isn't PC for Kurt to be wrong in any sort of way regarding being gay. I don't like it, and I think it is a great representation of how wrong the public's view on minorities and their rights are. Yes, they are treated poorly, and it shouldn't happen. But it doesn't give minorities the right to do the exact same thing back. Ok... I may have looked into it a little too far... but this Kurt character is not my favorite. And it's not because he's gay. It's the character.

Ok so 3. (again Kurt) This one has to do with his dad's relationship with Finn prior to moving in as one big happy family. What drives me crazy here is how Kurt is constantly jealous about Finn getting to go to games with his dad and be the "perfect son". Why does this bother me, you ask? Because Kurt DOESN'T want to do these things! They do other things together. His dad supports him so much and loves him and it is clear all the time, but he is also a sports guy and it is a big part of him. I think Kurt's character is so self involved. There are plenty of things that my dad likes to do which don't interest me. If he finds someone else to do them instead of me, more power to him! Because then I can still enjoy him when we have something we both want to do, and I don't have to entertain him or be tortured through one of his interests. Kurt expects those around him to be like him... backwards! He shouldn't have to conform. Fine. But neither should those around him then.

Glee: Go ahead, have a character that represents the gay community. But goodness, can he be more stereotyped?? Can we see the side of him that isn't because he's gay? Because out of my gay friends, I see a lot more than the fact that they are gay. That is one aspect, just like it is one aspect of me that I am straight, but it is NOT what defines me. I would like to think that people think of other things than that when they think of me. But when I think of Kurt, that is all I think.


Ok that is enough out of me...

Poor poor baby

Lets just start out with a picture:

This is what he will be looking like for the next 2 weeks. The funny part is that he keeps running in to everything. The sad part is that he literally looks sad. The drugs from knocking him out make it appear as though he has been crying all day... breaks my heart!

Can't say that I'm too sad though... he is so chill right now... no more pulling me as hard as he can when we attempt going outside on the leash! (Until he feels recuperated, like tomorrow...)

Oh, and what happened? Well, we got him fixed. He can no longer be the lady's man that he has tried to be... at least with reproduction in mind.

Here is another picture just so you understand his pain:

Camera charger.

All I want to do is put some pictures up on here of all the fun and exciting things going on at the Deyle's and that little gray thing cannot be found ANYWHERE! So this is my mini rant about losing things.

I hate it! Why do I have to lose things that are essential like this? Well I suppose if it wasn't essential I wouldn't notice it was missing, which would then mean I would not need to find it or look for it... OK so I probably lose nonessential things all the time.

Things that should have been posted:
1.)Before pics of the house
2.) In the middle of some serious progress pics of the house
3.) Pics of my my Buckley. (see facebook for some real nice blurry pics if you so desire)
4.) Everything else remotely interesting that I used to use that camera for.
5.) ONE Pic of Denise and I at the Bon Jovi concert. I say one because that was the point that my camera went dead.

On the flip side, Buckley is entertaining... :) Can't get enough of that! That funniest thing up to this point is his alligator crawl he does when we bring him on walks. He always has an enormous amount of energy which I attribute to him being a 2 yr old teenager full of hormones and locked up inside all day. He is so determined to go at his pace wherever he wants that he crouches down and tries to army crawl his way...everywhere. After he gets worn out... 2 hrs later... he walks like a good, well behaved dog and I am not quite as amused, although the pride is there. He delights me.

AND Mike got us another dishwasher today! Background: The one currently installed is disgusting and actually makes the dishes more dirty and extremeley smelly. I had to wash them all again after the first (and only) load, so I have been living in the early 1900's with my sink, soap and washcloth. When did I get so spoiled? At least he knows this fact and provided me with the best gift a husband could get his newlywed wife! It's a beauty...and cost like $50. What a bargain shopper. I'm proud to call him my own.

Blogging world - the hypocrit

I am a blogging hypocrit. I think I have encouraged about 10 people to start a blog and had them thoroughly convinced that they NEED to... how often do I write on mine again? Like 2 times a month? Ok so, I have excuses for this.

1.) I am busy moving into my house (duh, you've already heard that)
2.) I am too lazy  busy to switch the batteries in my camera to upload the pics I have taken (and need to show the world)
3.) I seriously can't think of anything in the world worth talking about!! Everyone else is so good and I am jealous... :(
4.) I would rather spend my time reading others, or changing my layout, or surfing the web... lame I know but at night after a day of work and a night of house stuff, that is about all I am up to. Therefore, the laundry sits unfolded and the food sits in the fridge rotting.

Ok, I feel like I need to explain myself with this one. We have the worst time eating the food that we buy! And by we I mean me because I seriously have great intentions to eat healthy but when it comes down to it, I end up throwing about half of it away because it has gone bad. And my attempts are decent!! The problem is that we are NEVER home to eat it, and when we are, we also have left overs to eat or we just can't keep up. So then I buy less food, and we run out immediately resulting in me just buying more the next day=too much grocery shopping for this girl.

HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I am so sick of throwing stuff away, and with only two of us (one that will not eat healthy food unless absolutely starving or it is already prepared in front of him) it is so easy for it to just sit there... and rot away my hard earned money. Did I say hard earned? It is hard for me to sit at an office for 8 hrs, so yes, hard earned. Can we have some customer's soon?

On a happier note, I am so excited to move into this house of ours. His parents are helping with the flooring while I attempt to pack (overwhelming, if you have tips please share). Hopefully we will be moving in within a couple of weeks. My biggest obstacle is that we aren't going to be using the bottom level until later since it isn't finished. This means that I have to cram all of it upstairs in an organized fashion so that we can still find what we need and make that floor feel like home. I don't know what I am doing, other than walking around in circles at the apartment. Seriously, that is all I do. Don't tell Mike... I feel like a failure. When I see everything that needs to be packed up... I panic. I am the worst "get overwhelmed and quit" girl out there, I am pretty sure. I think therapy might help? No, it's not that bad but seriously... motivation would help.

I sound so negative...ignore that and insert a big smiley face - even if it's cold out it's not winter!! I like winter, but I'm ready for spring. and then summer!

CONGRATS TO MY SISTER FOR GETTING THE INTERNSHIP IN CALIFORNIA!!! Now how can I afford to go VISIT my baby sister??? Will have to think of something....maybe selling my body to research? Who knows.
