i was so high i did not recognize

Today I thought about things. And then I wrote them down. =p



I really like the concept of married couples, or even just people that are very deeply involved with eachother. What I’m talking specifically about is the way someone can know so much about someone else, with a very real and passive diligence and compassion. What they like, what they don’t like, what they’ve gone through, what works for them, what doesn’t, etc.; to carefully pick up on all that, I think it’s really beautiful.

What’s better is that (I believe) what keeps deeply involved people that know and care to know so much about each other going (together) is the truth that you can never know all of a person. You can’t. and that’s more than okay, that’s…what keeps deeply involved people that know and care to know so much about eachother going (together). =p There’s really always something new to k now.

I’ve heard about divorce scenarios where the couple just got “bored” of eachother. I don’t believe this is a true possibility. What I think is that these people got bored with themselves. Hence, since “we don’t see things as they are; we see things as we are” (Anais Nin), and resulting from the fact that they found themselves boring, they just couldn’t find others to be exciting. All in all I see it as a slightly, (very), selfish process.


Jealousy. I’m not a jealous person. I think for a long time the only person I was minutely and somewhat even dishonestly jealous of was Britney Spears… and we all know how that ended up…
Although what I will admit is that I’m a protective person. Albeit, I am also a trusting person. I am trusting of the people I should be protective of and thus in truth I guess im not really a highly protective person. But I can be. I’m speaking in circles and wasting words now, my personal sin, so I’m going to go back to what I originally was talking about and that is jealousy.

Jealousy is a blip on a woman’s “Girrrrl, you are getting way too close to my man-radar.”
So I think its okay in that sense. Just don’t show it. I don’t think I do. Maybe I should. I’m still figuring that out. I don’t even know if I should be writing about this. I’ll get back to you.


If you write blogs,

This is how I know I love you (besides the notion that my brain lights up when I think of you).

dear dominique--

my friend, i know i love you. (this sounds really cheesy but please hear me out).

but today i was able to KNOW that i do. (you know sometimes you just have those moments?)

what happened was i was reading your blogs, and then i came across a pretty long one. and then for a split second i thought, "wow this is long. should i really read it now?"

and then just a split second later i thought, "of course."

and i realize that i must love you to do that. because i might have not done that for someone i didnt.

so thats me and how i love you.
=p

So that’s that.

Oh yeah I also have this other incomplete notion that im still trying to develop about what it’s called when after a while it doesn’t even matter or you don’t even notice what someone looks like to you and it all just comes down to whether you’re happy to see them or not. Maybe its friendship. I have no idea but I will get back to you on that too.


I think this is one of the few times that I write out so many of my half developed thoughts. Not sure if it’s a good thing but I’d like for you to let me know. Because in all honesty I write these facebook notes to share my input and gain yours. Or else I would just keep all these things I just said in my personal journal. Which of course there are those things that I just leave there. And then there are the things that I bring out. And hope that you comment on.


Thaaaaaaanks beauties.

Hope ur having a good break =)

grey's anatomy is the worst show. part III - the real deal.

the point that i wrote an essay about a show that i neither watch nor like is that it was mainly for humor. to be honest i thought that if you read it, in the right mindset whether you like the show or not, it would be a funny post. me using unsupported statistic evidence... but i guess when it comes to a show that has become a defining movement (against my will) in this age of television, i dunno what happened with the lightness of my post. and in trying to defend my comic arguments, i realized the same thing that i had in mind when i first wrote the note -- i really don't care.

here's the thing:

although i'm glad that note racked up comments, i'm actually sad that people have more to say about what i have to say about what i dont care about than what i have to say about real things that i DO care about.

to the people that read my real notes - i appreciate it every time. i really do.

and thats where my grey's anatomy is the worst show trilogy ends. thanks.

Grey's Anatomy is the worst show part II (this time it's on)

first of all, thanks all for the wide array of responses to my factual (haha) claim that "grey's anatomy is the worst show."

second of all, lemme get down to my business.

I remember when the previews for Grey's Anatomy first aired on ABC. I was hooked without even having watched the show. A show about the life of a female surgeon, highly dramatized, Patrick Dempsey grown out of his pre-pubescent "Can't Buy Me Love" stage, and hospitals. My favorite. It was going to be GREAT.

I watched the very first episode.
Wasn't bad.

But I wasn't hooked. Because I respect doctors and after the first episode I certainly didn't respect either Meredith Grey or "McDreamy". (Let's just take a step back and look at this real quick... "McDreamy"...??? I'm sure we could think of much more creative nicknames. So right off the bat this show lacks creativity. Haha yes i know that is an extreme statement but what about this show isnt? People were skewered on a pole for crying out loud...)

I am not judging Grey's Anatomy on the one episode that I experienced last night. I am judging it on the first episode, the first 5-10 minutes of a later episode that tortured me with ex-supermodel residents that uh...still look like supermodels (believe me, after medical school there is no such thing), doctors cheating on their doctor wives for their resident, while the doctor wife miraculously has time to deliver babies and allow time for a full face of pretty well-done make-up... and then repeated glimpses of further episodes, none of which I could really bare to watch for more than a minute or two.

A lot of you say it hooks you, honestly, it does the very opposite for me.

I kind of just want to run away screaming and crying.

I further make my judgement on Grey's Anatomy based on a very well written and credible article written by REAL DOCTORS, specifically about how the portrayal of the medical field in general in INSULTED by ... guess what guys... Grey's Anatomy.

I'm not saying that every show I watch has to mirror the real world that we live in. I understand that the real world often isn't as exciting as my own and thus does not make for great television (hahaha I kid somewhere in that sentence =p ), but what I fail to understand is what exactly about, for one, watching a man struggle between the torturous decision of whether to stay married to his wife (while cheating on her) or just leaving her for Meredith who isn't even pretty, is so ENTERTAINING? Really. And not even that, why do we always find such entertainment in other people's messed up lives? I could really start going off onto why this is also a reason that I do not support tabloid and celebrity media but then... that is for another time my lovers. =)

Plain and simply, I think the show is shallow. I'm not in anyway calling any of its viewers shallow, at all. I have a great many wonderful friends that take great joy in Thursday nights at nine, and I too have my own shallow ways of entertaining myself. Occasionally even I stop to wonder why Keira Knightley and Jamie Dornan broke up. (I was SO rooting for them.)

I think it is a shallow show because you could find this same storyline anywhere at all. I believe that using doctors, hospitals, and a well-noted broadcast station such as ABC are all just really good frosting on a badly burnt cake. Or like really pretty bandages that just don't stop the bleeding. Ha.

My concluding statement lies in this, that I realize a few of you are upset that of all the shows I picked to focus my attention on for a full 60 minutes minus the commercials, it had to be a "bad" one.

We all have learned probability right? If Grey's Anatomy were as good a show that many claim it to be, with a full multitude of good episides, the honest likelihood of me randomly selecting an episode to watch and it being bad would be very very very very low.

However, I did randomly select, and the episode WAS bad. Which means that you guys were probably wrong in believing that good episodes greatly outnumber the bad. There statistically would have to have been many more bad episodes in order for me to pick on this fateful night one episode, and happen to be a bad one in your opinion, which is exactly what happened and exactly what is. Many bad episodes. A very bad show.

I have watched only one complete episode of Desperate Housewives to this day. Guess what. Great show. Great episode.

Maybe you guys think that Desperate Housewives got lucky with me and Grey's Anatomy didn't.

I have a friend that doesn't believe in luck. Quite frankly, I don't think I do either. Especially when i just statistically showed you using probability and junk.


Clearly Desperate Housewives has a greater number of good episodes in a season, thus allowing me to by chance watch a beautiful episode.


Which brings me to another point, Desperate Housewives is over the top and unrealistic. Perfect. At least it doesn't tryyy to seem realistic by incorporating sterile hospital scenes.


Anyway,

that's that from me. Thanks for listening, reading, watching, commenting. Really, thanks. =)
