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
