Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, and Karl Malden...Wow, how sad, how close, how soon. We have lost so many so soon, so recently. It really causes one's head to spin. I find myself saying, How sad, when up pops another one. It just goes to show how very precious life is and how nothing is promised so we do have to make the most of each day. My heart and Prayers go out to the loved ones of each of the persons whom have named and I hope that each of them has gone on to a better place.
The Return
OK, so now I'm back on TV.com and it safe to say that everything around here has changed. Even though I'd prefer the old blue and white theme (since blue is my favorite color), this theme can grow on me. From looking at all of my new features withthe blogs and what you're able to do, I'm pretty impressed I ust say.....
Summer School
Of course, i passed all of my courses (even though one damn teacher decide to give me a C. He will change that, I promise you) I managed to get a 3.175 for the semester anyway, getting two A's and a B- (only due to a teacher who didn't know what he as doing on the exam. It's like he put things the ****hasn't gone over and expected us to know it. Total ripoff, but I digress.)
Anyway, I'll be taking CIS 211, in other words, known as Computer Information Systems. I'll give you a brief description
CIS 211: Introduction To Computer Information Systems
This is an introductory course in data processing emphasizing the use of computers in business applications. Students will be introduced to hardware, software, communications, basic systems concepts, flowcharts and programming. A PC-dominant programming language that is particularly suited for small- to medium-sized business applications will be used for the development of computer-based problem-solving skills.
Rest assured that I will acheive an A with a competent professor who actually knows what he is doing. With that, my GPA can skyrocket. That way, I can apply for my dream college in Baruch, which is predominately accountancy, which is my major.
My Wonderful Birthday
Actually it wasn't so wonderful as I ws broke and did absolutely nothing. But since I'm gettin' paid today, expect me to go clubbin' 
There I will have the time of my life and hopefully meet a special someone, even though, I have lots of phone numbers from girls already, but hey, it doesn't hurt to have more? 
Other Things
First things first, Chris Brown hitting someone (Rhianna, if you didn't know...)
WHAT?!
He seems like the person that would even hurt a fly, but to hit a girl. It a shame how this tarnished his public image and will probably have a huge decrease in sales and endorsments if it hasn't already happened already. I'm still in shock at how such an innocent and charming man who makes good to great music do such a terrible thing in his lifetime. Now the media and court is hounding off everything from this big superstar and it quite frankly sickening. Another potential question is whether Rhianna had any hand in actually prompting him to him her or maybe she could've damaged herself and put it on him? I don't know, but something's up....
So many veteran people dieing all of a sudden from past wars the last couple of days and weeks. Really makes you think back to what they actually did for this country or another country if the war was in another country.
Phelps losing? Hmm... that pipe did something to him....
I'm thinking about getting the new DS and PSP that's coiming out. With it's new features and such I might just trade in my old one and get the new one, of course having to pay a lil' extra money, but totally worth it, what do you think?
And finally, I been on this onling dating site, Mate1, and found one interesting female, but far too many camgirls and people from accross the globe wanting a relationship?! WTF?! I mean seriously, how and I suposed to show how much I love you through chatting? It's such a waste of time and talk when I can chat with someone within NEW YORK. Aside from the fact that there's too many bullsh*teers on that site, just wanting one night stands and the like. Keep this up, and I'll probably just quit the site altogether and find another dating site to join.
Movies I have to watch:
The Dark Knight. Heard it was good, even better than the first.
Heard this movie was supposed to be good as well. Ironically, the first movie was the actual last movie I've sen at the movies, which means I really need to start seing movies again..
And
Read the book. Loved it, albeit a really sad ending.....
Se you later....
check me out in my psa ad
i starred in it and created it

We had 48 hours to create this :30 – 60 second video to tell people to sign a
petition to urge world leaders to sign a treaty at the Copenhagen Summit on
December 15th to finally resolve to do something about climate change.
Yes. It's a lot to say, and not a lot of time to say it in.
So we grabbed a megaphone.
Here's our entry for the Cannes Young Lions competition
Watch it, rate it and pass it on. (watch it daily! the more views win!)
We've got 2 weeks and we really want to go to Cannes.
And save the planet, of course.
I really hate my job. I really do. I hate how I never feel relevant there. I work with my city's animal shelter as an intern working under the Volunteer Coordinator/Community Outreach supervior. She gives me jobs to do around the shelter, help her out, etc. It was all fine during the summer but my internship ended in August and I had to go back to school and get settled before I returned. Anyways I go back late Oct and ever since I came back, I just don't feel as relevant as I did back in the summer. I only worked twice a week now. Anyways, back to reasons why I hate my job:
1. My boss is NEVER there
My boss is never there, it's so annoying. And when she is at work, I always have to find her because she is NEVER in her office. She'll give me a job to do, I finish it and go to her office...gone. One time she told me to find these plastic things, I leave for TWO MINUTES...maybe even less and I go back to her office...gone!
2. Nothing to do
I feel like I'm getting paid to do nothing and while other people might like that, I kind of don't. It's not like I feel bad about it or anything, but it goes back to the relevancy of my job. There's is nothing to do for me to do on my own w/o having my supervisor providing me a job.
3. The people
I get really annoyed by some of the people at my job. There's some that are cool like the volunteers and some of the animal control officers and sometimes my supervisor. But other than that, I cannot stand those people. You got animal obsessed volunteers that baby talk to animals and it is SO annoying!
4. My boss
She can be really cool and nice at times. Some times she does things that annoy me! Like last week she was chit chatting up a storm with some volunteer and I had finished with what she had wanted me to do, so I go to hallway where she is talking and wait till she finished talking. She saw me right in the corner because she looked at me but kept talking. So I waited and then she was done....but she walked away! Totally disregarded me! I'm like "WTF? Is she serious? She did not just do that!" I was so mad that she did that. She saw me and still walked away.
5. Days I work
I work on Tuesdays after school and on Saturdays. Saturdays I could not stand. I didn't mind that much working on a Saturday(11-4) so I never did anything during those hours at home anyways. But then my boss just stopped coming in on Saturdays. But I still showed up-on time- and expected her to be there. Once I realized that she might not work on Saturdays anymore, I stopped coming in for 2 weeks. But surprisingly one Saturday 2 weeks ago she was there(when I wasn't!) and on Tuesday she asked me where I was . I didn't get in trouble but I thought that was weird. So then that following Saturday(last Sat) I wake up and go to work thinking she's gonna be there. EHH! WRONG AGAIN! Not there. This past Tues, after 4-5 weeks of not being there on Saturdays, she finally told me that she doesn't work Saturdays anymore. Really? After a month of not working there, thats when you finally tell me? OH AND THEN...she wants me to work Sundays. I'm like what? I rather waste my Saturday than my Sundays. I don't know about you but Sundays are ME DAYS, my time. My time to lie in and watch tv, go to the mall with my mom or run errands. I'm going in tomorrow but I'm just gonna let her know that Sundays are bad for me. I can't do.
Now you may ask "Why don't you quit your job?" As much as I hate my job, I'm not gonna quit because the city pays me to damn good. $12/hr. Why quit this quit and go work somewhere that pays me $8.50/hr? Uh I don't think so. Besides when my internship runs off(whenever that is) then I will have to do that, but now $12/hr is my kind of pay.
...everything is uncertain, at least in my case. When I wrote my last post saying I would not be on until August 31, I didn't really know if that would be the case, but it was what seemed most likely. At the time, it was 1:11AM on Tuesday, May 13. I was getting ready to leave the country that same day at 12:30PM to see my sick mother who was unfortunately in bed due to cancer and at my grandparents' in another country. Needless to say, her condition was critical and although I had hope and prayed that she would, she unfortunately didn't last much longer. At 12:10PM that same day, about exactly 10 hours and 59 minutes after that blog post, she passed. When I got off the plane that was the news I was unfortunately greeted with.
Having already told that, I wish to apologize to anybody who feels in any way cheated that I am back sooner than expected or who thinks that I should have updated you guys sooner, but I am still abroad and not on as often as back home so I unfortunately hadn't gotten around to it. At the time I wrote my last post there was no internet connection where I am currently staying and it was not installed until about a month or so later. Because I didn't know that I would be on for sure before August 31, the site moderators decided to retire me from my guides because that was too long a time, and I completely understand their decision since I would have probably done the same not knowing the situation. I have started fresh now and so far I've gained 2 new guides.
It has obviously been a rough time, especially on a day like today that is her birthday, and I still can't imagine life back at home without my mother, but I somehow must still move on and I think that with the help and support of everyone around me I hopefully will. Although everything is still uncertain at this point, one thing's definitely for sure: my mother will always live in my heart. I love you, mother, and may you and your soul rest in peace!
I recently went to NY and ran into this crazy Italian festival called the Giglio. How is everyone doing? You guys better not be harrassing Danmod. Or Jaxiecracks. I'll get you!

check out this dope video of the Giglio feast, including Rocky theme song!
Am I having fun? Yes people - I most certainly am.
I haven't ventured to TV.com in a while but today the curiosity itch bit me and I decided to journey to familiar territory. I signed into the web site and to my pleasant surprise I discovered its my 2 year anniversary for being a member of the web site.
Oh I know you're probably saying "So what!" But its an interesting revelation for me.
In two years I've found amusement,informationand entertainment at this site. As time progressed the famous words "TV Tome" became less frequent and we all settled in to enjoy the new cyber home for those who love and know oh-so-much about the boob tube. I've made a few cyber friends and enjoy traveling to their domain and checking out what new goodies the've put out for curious eyes to read.
Simply put it just amazes me how time has come and gone. What did we do before the internet and all of these wonderful little hideaways that we travel to in cyber space? TV.com hasn't yet made iton my list of daily cyberspace rituals but who knows...perhaps this time next year that story will change.
Write On fellow friends! The TV world needs you. :-D
If I worked for ABC Family and controlled the schedule this is what it would be:
11AM Full House
12PM Family Matters
1PM Step By Step
2PM Boy Meets World
3PM Sabrina the Teenage Witch
4PM 8 Simple Rules
5PM 7th Heaven
6PM Everwood
7PM Gilmore Girls
8PM Original Shows
I would take Sister Sister out, bring back Everwood and 7th Heaven (7th Heaven plays only on weekends). I would take away double airings of Gilmore Girls and Full House, I don't care how popular those shows are. I would bring Sabrina back from the morning hours to the afternoon hours where it would get better ratings.
By putting Gilmore Girls at 7PM I would not watch it waiting for a better show to come on (like 7th Heaven before they moved it to just weekends). I know GG is a popular show, but I just don't find it something I enjoy.
Just my thoughts on the show. You do not have to respond.
I don't know if it was the three days of anticipation for this ep(since I overslept and my tivo didn't record) but I finally saw the finale and I loved it! Thank God for Youtube. It was much different and a little more dramatic or more competitive. Maybe because it was actually between people who really deserved to win. Melrose calling Caridee out of her name was unexpected (even though I read it here). I guess she finally snapped. No, I don't think that is the real Melrose. Who could stay fake for so long? I would not hold it over head because Caridee has been running her mouth allllll cycle about Melrose. I agreed with Tyra saying that she is hated on because she does so well and it's jealousy. Tyra sees it. In her case, she did not bother to make friends with her enemies which I think made it even worst but then they would have been smiling at her and then still saying they hate her. Catch 22.
The scene with the fashion show was great. Ms Jay is a mess. They made it seem like he was running backstage to be apart of thE "drama". Melrose is indeed a perfectionist and she freaked out a little. Caridee didn't look too apologetic in my opinion but maybe that was cut. Caridee needs to tone down and Melrose needs to loosen up. Melrose does buckle a bit under pressure but that is the downfall of being a perfectionist. I was expecting her to be screaming like a madwoman the way that some people on here made Melrose's reaction to Caridee stepping on her dress seem(not seam), but it wasn't as dramatic as it was hyped up.. Priceless was the look on Caridee and Eugena's face when Melrose's name was called. That exchange of "I can't believe it" glares. Lol. Let's be real. The battle was between these two blondes all throughout.
I actually shed a little tear when Caridee won. Not because Melrose lost but because it was so intense and her reaction was great. Especially since she had that skin disorder and now look. It reminded me of when "Dani" (they are already molding her into their image) won. She wanted to be able to take care of her mother. I don't think Melrose had a shocked look on her face like she expected to hear her name or was sure she won. Someone said something like her face dropped in shock when she didn't see her picture. Hype. No it didn't. Someone said Melrose walked away and didn't bother to hug anyone or something like that but she hugged Tyra and said bye to everyone. Hype. Why would she hug Caridee if she knows Caridee hates her? That would be fake as all hell. She did look awkward when she tried to give Eugena a hug as she was hugging Caridee. At first I was like what the hell is she doing? Then, in a way I felt bad for her at that moment because she went through the majority of the competition being hated and at that point she kind of seemed like the odd girl out like she was throughout the show. I think both of them did not know which way it would go. I didn't and I knew the results. I sort of got caught up in it and forgot for the moment.
There were things that the judges mentioned about each girl that were positive and negative and I couldn't tell who they were going to pick although I already found out here. Jay was right about them chastising Melrose for doing what they want after they complain about the girls who do not follow directions or know anything about the industry. Ms Jay was right about her being well read. Nigel was right about her being a perfectionist. Just like Twiggy was right about Caridee being a loose cannon and Ms Jay was right about her being a hot mess on the runway. I was dying when the fashion designers said "crazy crazy crazy". Like whoever doesn't think Cari is crazy is blind. Everyone knows she is a little off but it works for her,They both have room to grow and I honestly think that they both deserved to win it for all their hardwork . Only thing is that Caridee had a story behind her. Her skin disease. We never heard about any challenges Melrose had to overcome. Not to say this a bad thing ,but in the ending for the winner ,overcoming an obstacle or showing vulnerability goes a long way. No, I am not saying Caridee won because she had the skin disease but she was more the type that people could relate to in the end. I think that had Melrose won it would have been a smile and "Im happy "and "I worked hard" and some tears but I doubt it would have been as touching because she didn't let out a vulnerable side or maybe she doesn't really have one. Who knows...
I just really liked the finale. I knew it was going to be between those two and the battle of the blondeshells thing was very entertaining. They are like extreme opposites. I am a fan of Melrose and I did like Caridee but she turned me off a few episodes back. Somehow, I preferred seeing Caridee win. She messed up alot but she was learning and she knows she has a lot to learn and I liked that about her. Not saying I did not want to see Melrose win but I expected her to be the winner because she was almost perfect. Caridee showed that being perfect isn't always the way which is true. Runners up are winners too without the title. Caridee and Eugena formed a bond and I won't be surprised to see them working together in the future. That little pact they had screamed "We hate Melrose". Lol it was entertaining. I can imagine their skin crawled when Melrose hugged them. When Melrose cried because she work so hard (which is expected) and had to endure being called out her name for the entire cycle I felt for her . She also said that she felt misunderstood and I believe that too. All will be well though.
Either way, they will both do well and I loved that finale.
