Tina’s Supplied Honesty

While watching the last episode of “Glee” it suddenly hits me how much this show revolves around dishonesty. Of course it is obvious in the plot line, but when you first see some of the lies the show revolves around it is hard to see them as realistic lies that we may encounter. Then this episode comes along and touches on exposing even more lies then finishes the show off with the group singing “True Colors”.

When I was in choir in high school my teacher just happened for this to be a the song that all choirs sang together on for our senior concert. Of course this senior concert was while my boyfriend and I were breaking up. The break up was pretty simple and straight forward. He was older and we went to different schools, his best friend was in my choir though and we were very close. It happened that he was watching me while we were singing that song and it really touched me. They were all getting ready to leave the school, and I was just starting my journey there really. Since that day, whenever I see someone for what they really are this song pops back into my head.

It does not always have to mean that someone truly is a great person inside, but sometimes you see their true colors and realize they are not that great inside after all. This episode really got me thinking about past relationships and present ones. Sometimes true colors shining through are deal makers and sometimes they are deal breakers! What are your absolute true color moments from your life? Were the deal makers, deal breakers, or just reassuring that you were making the right choices?

So I was milling around a site after accidentally running across it. It was a site like Yahoo! Answers, and they actually had a category labeled “sex in teenage relationships”. I was completely shocked! Then on top of that of course my curiosity had to get the best of me, and I had to read some of the questions that were on the site. I was so shocked and disgusted! One of the teenagers misspelled infection, and blockage! Gosh, I was just totally shocked!!! Many other teenagers were asking common sense questions that would be answered in a very simple health class! One said that middle school students were having sex and that it was known some of them had STD’s!

UGH! I know that I am old fashioned, but no matter what this should never be okay or acceptable!
I just had to vent a bit about this! I know that it happens everywhere but do these answer sites really need to give them encouragement by their own category to ask for technique advice?! Gross!

After writing a post on another blog about Taylor Swift’s skit on Saturday Night Live poking fun at the ultra famous moment with Kanye West, I realized that the post may be better for this blog instead. After watching the hilarious video I started to think about what it really means to create your own legacy, and started wondering if people really realized when they were creating their legacy. When you are a celebrity we all know that most actions are carefully planned so that you do can try to avoid as much bad publicity as possible, otherwise one decision really can ruin your entire career. However, it is very clear that Kanye was not thinking through all aspects of his decision to ruin Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards a few months back. Yes, many say that he did it for publicity, but I beg to differ. I believe that this was just another typical Kanye west temper tantrum that has ruined his career.

With all of that being said, I do not think that most people really take the time to think about the long term memory of their decisions! Yes of course we take the time to think about the consequences of our decisions, but do we think this could end up being my legacy? Long after I am gone when my name comes up this will be what people remember me for! (more…)

So it seems as though some of my best ideas for topics to talk about come while being miserable in bed with a migraine. I think that this comes into play because it is usually during a time when there is some marathon of a reality show on that I would normally never watch. Today while trying to read and get small things done while trying to aid my migraine I spend some time listening to a marathon of VH1’s For the Love of Ray J. I do not see very much of the show or even pay attention to very much of it. However, one thing that really caught my attention on the show as that they were faulting a girl often and very openly because she said that she did feel that she needed a man to feel complete.

I find this extremely interesting for a few reasons. One reason this is so shocking to me is because this is a show where people are searching for love. Another is because they say that this makes her a weak woman. (more…)
