Sneaky Surprises

Last episode of the Jersey Shore contained a few surprises...

1) Snooki hooked up with cousins, or friends...either way, she was surprised to hear that news

2) Snooki and deena want to go to some club, and mike rents them a cab, that then surprises them by taking them to Times Square in New York City.

3) Sammi comes back to SeaSide, where Ronnie is left speechless


Watching this episode made me start to think of all the surprises I have had in my life.  Some surprises would be what "Santa" got me back in the day for Christmas, or beign surprised I passed a math test when I thought I did horrible.  Also, when I watched this episode, it made me realize a recent surprise I received, and one that I am planning as of right now.

This past Wednesday, my boyfriend who is the military called to tell me that he would not be coming home at the estimated date he said he would.  My hopes of seeing him after 60 days shattered, and I was really upset.  To top it off, he then went on to tell me that not only was he not coming home that upcoming Sunday, but he was going to stay the weekend up at Penn State to party for St. Patty's Day, full of drunk, slutty-attractive girls :(  My first reactions to this news was that I cried like a little girl.  I thought that he would rather hang out with skanky girls and drink beer.  He then texted me the following day and said he changed his mind, and that he would be home late Saturday night.  That Friday, I worked til about 7:30, and came home.  My boyfriend called me and talked to me for about 20 minutes, asked me what I was doing tonight, and told me to have fun, then hung up.  I got upset, so I called back.  I was down in my basement at the time, and heard someone coming down the stairs.  I figured it was my brother, but my boyfriends face snuck around the corner.  He surprised me by coming home earlier.  It was the best surprise I had gotten in a long time.

The surprise I am currently working on is for my boyfriend.  I planned on surprising him with 20-30 friends and family this Friday at Dave and Buster's, so that all his close people in his life can see him before he leaves for Aghanistan in 16 days.  However, the best surprise of all would be him to get a call saying he doesnt have to go, but I know I am not that lucky, and that I just have to pray for a safe return home.

...Wow

WATERWORKS

This past episode of Jersey Shore consisted of the most crying I have ever seen from a male in my life.  I'm sure it was staged, or persuaded, but there were in fact tears.  Ronnie, the "wonderful" boyfriend to Sammie, threw all her stuff out the door, broke every possession she had in the house, and starts crying because FINALLY some cast member had the balls to actually leave that mess of a situation, and more importantly, the relationship.

I've talked about this before, but I want to stress again how important to see the signs of a bad relationship. Life123.com has some important points of interest when figuring out your in a bad relationship, and need to get out. To get the warning signs, click here.

I guess I have a big issue with this topic.  I watch the Jersey Shore just to get a laugh, and more importantly, to make me feel better about myself, showing that I am not like these people, nor would I ever want to be.  But when I see Ronnie and Sam in heated, abusive arguments, I get upset.  I don't know whether they are putting on an act for TV or whether it is real, but shame on them if its for fame.  Ronnie reminds me of guys I knew in my past, in highschool and parts of my college career.  The "Ronnie's" of the world, in my opinion, put a bad taste in my mouth when it comes to men. 

Sammie isn't any better either. She is the girl who is stuck in a relationship that is doomed for failure anyway, what with Ronnie's apparent lack of respect for her.  It's her own decision to take him back after his infedelity, but there is never an excuse to keep an abusive --mentally and physically-- man around in your life.  So when Sammie finally left, I was very happy for her.  However, previews for new episode show her return, which again, could be all staged for MTV's pleasure.

Which brings me to my next point.  How far would someone go for fame?  Would you want your dirty laundry, whether its staged or real, aired out on television for the whole world to judge? 

Lack of Love for Snooki

This Valentine's Day, Snooki was polled on an online survey as being the number one celebrity Valentine that people would NOT want to have.  With 41% of the votes, she even beat out dead-beat Paris Hilton... Is there a congrats in order? I don't think I would be too happy if I was Snooki... but hey, she has been told far worse and has done far worse! Oh well.  I guess there aren't that many "juiced up" guidos looking for love from Snooks.  I'm sure though, she won't be alone on Valentine's Day though.  She has her meatball bestie Deena, who I'm sure is dateless as well.  If not, some bottle of some liquor will be Snooki's companion for the night.

Feb. 14th has got me thinking, not about Snooki's problem of having a Valentine, but of Valentine's Day's of the past.  Can anyone think of a really bad Valentine's Day?  This year, for me, Valentine's is bittersweet.

This year, my valentine and I won't be sharing it together, or even in the same state or time zone.  My valentine is in 29 Palms, in California (the image above).  There, he is training with his fellow marines before they head out to Afghanistan.

So, Snooki, go ahead and cry about being the worst Valentine.  Atleast you can probably con some poor pathetic guy into taking you out for dinner, or whatever your plan is.   All I want is mine home.

Things I've Realized That Are Bad For Me, But Not As Bad As The Jersey Shore Castmates ...

    

I was cleaning my kitchen sink the other day, and stumbled upon a container with this sticker that my mom and dad used to put on bottles with dangerous chemicals, so that me and my younger brother would know not to touch, or eat, or drink or whatever little five year olds would do.  But, seeing this sticker now, made me realize that this sticker needs to be brought back into usage--but with The Jersey Shore crew.  Anytime they do something stupid, or just plain nasty, I want to give them a Mr. Yuk sticker, but then that just means I would have to interact with them, and I don't want that (I'd be afraid I would contract a disease or something) haha.  But really, I thought up a list of things that should also be given Mr. Yuk stickers: guys that seem to be top-heavy w/ muscle, guys that seem to not know how to spell their name, guys that are engaged, guys who have girlfriends, the refrigerator Snooki put her butt in, any bed that any cast member of the Jersey Shore has "slept" in, their hot tub, and them in general  :)        

It is what it is... is it?

Thursdays episode made me come to a few serious revelations.  One, obviously, is that I dispise the show.  With a huge, burning passion.  Second, that I cannot take any of the 'cast members'.  And third, that if any of them talked like that to me, or if I ever knew people who talked like they all do in real life, then I need to get new friends... luckily, all my friends are decent :)  Haha, however, this latest episode did make me come to think up a few questions.  Some of the 'cast members' quotes were a little bit harsh, as usual, on one another.  But, this time, I feel as though along with giving you guys these ridiculous quotes, I also have some questions to the audience about such quotes.  :) Here we go...

First quote:  "I told him I'm taking my sperm and making babies with it"--Snooki
What I would like to know, is if anyone has ever heard anybody in REAL LIFE ever say a statement like what Snooki had said.  Do friends really talk like that?  Do you know anyone who would openly say something like this?  I kind of want to know.

Second quote:  "It's not Halloween.  I'm not giving out candy for free.  You need a golden ticket to get into these drawers."-- Deena.   Do girls really talk like this about sex?  I mean, I know some who joke, but for real?

Third quote: "What don't I do for Sam?  Besides wipe her ass and breathe for her." --Ron.   The major issue here is how could someone put up with someone like this in a relationship?

So... here are some other questions to think about:
- How many people do you know that hook up the first night like Deena did with her new flame of the hour, Dario? 

- Do the people in your life act like the Jersey Shore cast members?  Or, do you think, like I do, that these people are horrible, morally wrong, just dying for attention and a paycheck from MTV?

- Do you know people who are in relationships like Ron and Sam? That are in relationships that all they do is fight just to fight?

- Do you have a Snooki in your life?
