You know what really grinds my gears?

This whole jon and kate plus 8 shannagins that is going on right now, thats what!! i dont watch the show regularly, in fact, the whole thought of having 8 children under the age of 10 makes me want to go to some back ally and rip my reproductive glands out. But i am a slave to celebrity blogs and the story is unavoidable. a few weeks ago i watched the first ever TV special for jon and kate. I felt bad for jon. Kate was demanding and he worked long hours and he waited on her hand and foot and didnt really complain. Then the new season of the show started, I had to tune in to see all the commotion. I watched the premiere and it really didnt tell me anything i had not already read online. but i was some how intrigued. It appeared that Jon had FINALLY grown a set and was standing up for him self. Then last night, in all my shameful TV watching glory, i watched a FULL episode of the show to see their 'big announcement'. Now i wont get into the fact that how spoiled rotten and annoying these children are (cuz i could be bias with u know, my love of kids in general). The end of the episode, when they were talking about how their marriage has dissolved, kate finally decided that she is a shitty human being and wants to world to feel bad for her. Guess what, i aint buying it. She had a great husband who has put up w/ her BS for 10 long years! I am happy that he got out of this relationship.

WHICH brings me to my next topic. The Internet is all a stir with jon hatred this morning. Everyone is saying how cold he came across and how dare he walk out on his children... excuse me!? have these people even SEEN this show before??? i have BARELY seen the show and i know enough that kate was VERY verbally abusive to jon. If the roles were reversed everyone would applaud Kate for leaving this relationship and setting an example for her 8 young children. Why is society holding this man, and men in general, to a different standard. He 'stopped the cycle' of abuse. A mantra many women shout to each other when in these kinds of relationships. I would think people would be happy for jon he is doing whats right for everyone. People are saying jon "allowed" kate to be mean to him. Would people ever DARE say this to an abused woman? 'oh u let him smack the shit out of u' HELL NO!! They would tell that woman, run, run fast and never ever look back. Mental abuse is JUST as bad as physical abuse, poor jon. I hate these double standard we have! So Jon, Kudos, for stopping the mental abuse your wife has inflicted on you! And shame on you society for encouraging this kind of mental abuse given to this man by that woman!!!

Life is High school

The past week has been spent watching Freaks and Geeks on Dvd. I love this show and it very much reminded me of high school life. Then, the more i thought about it the more i realized that life in general never really changed much from this high school dynamic. My job is a great example of this. We have the 'poplar' group that everyone wants to say hi to or hang out with, and they know it (and im pretty sure love it). You have the nerds (ps my allies lol) who do all the techie jobs. These people have always been my favorite group, even when growing up. They are always the nicest group, even if other ppl think they are freaks. You have the dramatic group of people who no one ACTUALLY likes, but they are blissfully unaware. Theres the guy in the office/school who is quiet and a little strange and will probably shoot the place up just cuz he's bored. Theres the smart group who just do their own thing and do not really get involved in the social aspects.
Of course there is also the petty drama of who likes who and whose a slut/bitch/etc. In highschool I always thought to myself 'if i can just make it thru these 4 years life will be so much better. Granted life has got a trillion times better, but some things in life never, ever change.

I've Gotta a Funny Feeling...

For about a week very strange things have been happening to me. Like completely random strange things. It started last week on my drive home. I'm sitting on the highway and i started to think about my friend Melissa, wondering what she was up to and how she has been. I havent talked to her since maybe right after I got married. We've sent a few txts here and there, but nothing recently. Fast forward to about 8 oclock that night when im driving home from tennis and my phone gets a txt. Its from melissa. Out of the blue she txt me to tell me she was thinking of me and that we have to get together soon. I think this has to be the strangest of all the weird things happening to me lately. I mean, i havent thought about her or talked to her in months and then bam, txt! Then theres been random instences where i will be thinking of someone and suddenly i see that they have tweeted or i think i need some thing from people i work with and as i am thinking it they send me what i need. I think of a song, it comes on the radio. Im working in something for a client, their commercial comes on. All of this is creeping me out. I feel like a should shut my eyes and hope the Loto numbers come to me!!
