Gossip Guy

I am now realizing thy my life is'nt half as entertaining as the tv showsIi watch. I can barely relate my life to them so instead I shall rant.

There comes a moment in every guys life when he realizes that he should definitely stop watching these two shows: Desperate Housewives...and Gossip Girl. There also comes a time in THIS guys life when he realizes that he is the only guy (and probably person) who is still watching these shows...

I recently just started watched Gossip Girl, because I was caught up on all my current shows I was following and "needed" another show to watch. I really just wanted to see what the hype was all about...I am still trying to figure that out

This show just get me more and more upset every time I watch it.  I am having trouble connecting with the characters and could care less about any of them. I am now on Season 3 and this is what I realized:

1.) They don't have real people problems. They are simply too rich and have to create drama because having a good education and money is just way too boring for them.

2.) There is some horrible parenting going on. The show's writers must all come from broken homes, because that is the only explanation for parents never knowing how to handle a situation like a normal adult.

3.) I keep forgetting they are in high school, and I think the writers and  actors do too. I was so confused when they were talking about colleges, because I could have sworn they had already graduated and was running their own business. Which brings me to 4...

4.) THEY DON'T GO TO CLASS!!... Yet somehow all of them have straight As. (But it's not like that matters 'cause they all got into school because of the connections they had. ) I am also not quite sure when school exactly start. Everyone just seems to come when they want and sit on the steps never looking at any sort of clocks because time is also not a factor in the world of Gossip Girl.

5.) Uniforms?!? I'm sure they have some sort of dress code....I just don't know what it is. The guys always wear the same button down, blazer, and tie..but it seems like they just give each girl the fabric of plaid for that year and they get to do whatever they want with it. I just don't understand how the main girl (Serena) gets away with just wearing a tank top and a skinny tie. I feel like that can't be in the handbook.

6.) Every character has slept with every characters and everyone is somehow related. The characters in the show are not friends they are all just dating each other. Ew.

7.) The character Chuck Bass is the WORST! He has way to much time and money, he is a womanizer, a horrible dresser, and seems to be incapable of opening his eyes and talking above a whisper. It is like he is consistently in a library that is made out of the sun. I have to put subtitles on because he doesn't know how to talk like a normal person.

8.) I am jealous of all of them...

For some reason, as much as I want to, I can't quit this show. It LITERALLY gets me upset when I watch them create and solve drama. Because they take 5 episodes to resolve something that could have been solved in a good  5 min conversation.
I should really just stop watching it 'cause any show that refers to there lead guy as "a knight in shining Armani" is a show that should be excommunicated from the television.

Until next time upper east siders.
XOXO,
Gossip Guy.


......wait....this show is on the CW?!? Oooooooh. Ok I get it. Nvm. I take everything back. It makes sense now.. Great show.

Today my life was like a project runway challenge...

   I decided not to shop any more until I make my move to LaLaLand. So I had to start getting really creative with what I wear. And the best place to shop when you are on a budget is a thrift store. It felt kinda like a project runway challenge...

Tim Gunn: Good morning Designers today you will be emerging yourselves in the lives of a broke recent college graduate.

You will have to create a ready-to-wear look for a night out on the town. The winner of today's challenge will have immunity an get their look featured on a broke recent college grad for a night time event that will probably involve alot of drinking. You will all only have a budget of $3. Since everything at Mood Designer Fabrics is way to expensive for this challenge we will be shopping at                     .                     Goodwill...outlet. 

Now most people would freak out at such a ridiculous challenge as this, but I have been preparing for this my whole life. 

While at Goodwill outlet I got three shirts, two shoes (not a pair), a tv, a teal bike, a new fanny pack, 5 VHS, a sesames street pop up book, a chic purple pant, wool blazer, and a belt...which is actually just a rope. And I still have $0.56 left.... I think I'm gonna be the winner of this challenge. Actually everyone who walks out of Goodwill with anything is a winner. Unless you walk out with an allergic reaction to all of the dust and unsanitary items in the big blue bins...just make sure you wear gloves.

Growing up in the Cosby household...

   When I was growing up I used to think my life was like the Cosby show. Except my parents weren't doctors or lawyers, we didnt have any money, and I didn't have an annoying sister that didn't look anything like the rest of my siblings and had way too many problems so a spin off had to be created just to balance out her crazy....

                  The Cosby Family                                                            My Family   
           
But like the Cosbys me and my siblings all got along and have been through a lot together. There have actually been many incidences where we all sang together  and danced around in our living room as if we performing in front of thousands of people. I was the lead of course. Some would refer to me as the Beyonce of the family, but thats another story.

See the Cosby show was meant to be a comedy but it touched on some important issues. Like how to choose the right college, how to survive in the "real world", and how to remain on hit show on tv after having all the male leads giving birth to inanimate objects. The show has definitely helped me with two of these issues...and I had no problem choosing the right college.....yup

I guess I felt like I related to the Cosby show because I couldn't relate to any other black family on tv at the time. Yes there have been many times when I felt that UPN sitcoms were the story of my life...but I'm not proud of those moments. But you'll have to wait until another blog before I tell you about that one. 

Today, I just realized that...

My life would make an awesome sitcom. Not a romantic comedy... I don't have the key ingredient of romance or random sex or STDs... Not a cop drama either. Well... I am black so by that definition it would perfect, but I wouldn't be the leading role. I'd just be an extra... in my own life. Hell.... I am EXTRA in my own life :(.  And surprisingly I couldn't even be a reality show. It's not that i respect myself too much, unfortunately...I just don't have big enough boobs.

   The rejected Friends spin off. 

  You would think if they gave Joey his own show then we could have at least got an episode.

I have the right amount of awkwardness to be a new quirky ABC hit or even a crappy CBS show with a laugh track. I'm not gonna lie, There are times in my life when I can directly relate to other tv shows. Every once in a while I kinda feel like i'm in a good Showtime drama but then I remember what Weeds turned into and that they just killed  Tara on True Blood 0_o. The moments where I feel like I'm in a musical number in Veggie-tales happen more often than I would care to admit. Either way television has taken over my life and instead of only watching tv all day, I've decided to be productive and blog about it...while watching tv
