Get Your Life: January Edition


It's a brand new year, so one would hope to think that people would be full of aspirations to better their lives...yeah well, I was incorrect. See what these people have been up to: 



1.  Shawty Lo, a rapper best known for a couple forgettable club hits, was supposed to have a reality show on Oxygen about himself...and the 10 mothers of his 11 children. I can't make this stuff up if I tried. Not only are the makers of this show WRONG to try to exploit a family, Shawty Lo is WRONG for wanting America to see this. I am fully aware that everyone doesn't have a traditional family.  There are shows, like Teen Mom, that glamorize children engaging in adult activities. YES this is an everyday occurrence but the line has to be drawn somewhere. I'm glad this show was cancelled for the simple reason that it isn't amusing or benefiting to anyone. Now if only there were more petitions to cancel more of these "reality" shows that show immature-minded women who will claw their way to the top to only stay there for 15 minutes.



2.  The National Entertainment Collectibles Association (NECA) made dolls from the characters of the movie D'Jango. I loved the movie. I thought it was a fantastic fictional movie. However, what's the purpose of having the dolls that'll collect dust in a glass bookcase? These dolls have been snatched from the shelves in stores but on the black market, they're selling like slaves at an auction smh. *audience boos*











3.  Catfish (a tv documentary about people who seek love via the internet) victims. Lawdhafmercy, "reality tv" makes it hard for my brain to accept three things:
  • Some people still LIE about their physical appearance. They find a picture of what they wish they looked like and pose as this person. If you don't like what you see in the mirror, you can change that. But insecurities is another rant that'll take more than one sentence to divulge.
  • Some are willing to have online ONLY relationships without meeting their interest in person for an extended amount of time. How do you fall in love over the internet without ever seeing or touching that person? Now, I have connected with a couple guys over the internet over the years BUT I've almost immediately met them in person...so....
  • With technology integrated in our daily lives, these "victims" believe that their interest can NOT make any attempt to either send more than one picture or have consistent video chats with them. Skype is free. Almost everyone has a Facebook or Gmail account and it even has a video chat option. Pictures can be sent in a matter of seconds. There's no excuse; Manti Te'o, a UND linebacker who had fake"serious" online relationship with can attest to that.  
2013 has started off quite ratchet. Guess those New Year's resolutions are long forgotten huh? Lol have a good one my loves. Don't forget to comment and share your thoughts! Peace!
