Operation: Get Ryan Gosling To Talk To Me (GRG3TM)

I was chatting with a friend today. Let's call her Janet to protect her anonymity (really). We were talking about how I think Ryan Gosling and I would get along if we ever met (okay, maybe I was doing the talking and she was agreeing with me to be nice). Regardless, I really do think we would get along. In my spare time (which may or may not be 18 hours a day), I have been watching random clips of Ryan.. interviews, singing, movies, etc... and he is hilarious. And that is the sole basis for deciding that we would get along. It's pretty profound if you ask me.

So Janet and I decided to think of a plan to get him to talk to me. I'm convinced that it can happen. So here it is.. Operation Get Ryan Gosling To Talk To Me (GRG3TM) (coined by Janet).

Janet and I will find his house and hide in the bushes (from where I will update my blog, don't worry). When Ryan comes out he'll yell at us. No, this is not a substitute for talking to me.. don't worry, we will get to that part soon. He will yell at us and I'll say, Oh I am so sorry Ryan, my friend Janet just wandered into your bushes, and I was just coming to get her so we could leave. At this point Janet will start to hum and drool and try to bite her ear.

So Ryan will feel bad for us and offer to take us home. On the way home he gets hungry and asks if we want to stop for food. Of course we say yes.

And the rest is history.

The End.

I don't know about y'all, but I think it'll work.

For your viewing pleasure

For those of you who know me at all, you know that I love TV. It's one of my vices really.. along with shopping, reading, eating, pens, eating some more, dancing, and things that smell good.... yes, I realize that's a lot of vices but hey, you only live once. This last year or so I put myself on a new show limit because I just had wayyy too many shows and school was getting in the way of keeping up with them. So I put a self-imposed limit on myself and decided not to take on any new shows. Now that school is done and I'm unemployed however, it's on.

Last night I watched a new ABC show called "Off the Map". At first glance, it seemed like a mashup of LOST, Grey's and ER. Medical drama in a rural setting with limited resources.

What I always remind myself when watching a show is that it is for entertainment purposes only. What scares me though is how many people confuse that with reality. You see, I watch tv to get away from the reality of life for an hour or two a day(or more..), but I KNOW that there is a difference between fantasy tv land and the real world. I get that clinics aren't going to have 4580934 emergency surgeries to perform in one day, but would people watch the show if they didn't? I get that these doctors who were rejected or had other issues in America have now been sent to work in this clinic is not realistic. I get that the attitude that we can just go in and save a country from all of it's problems is not realistic and kind of degrading. I get that developing countries don't want handouts nor do they need handouts and our reject doctors to come in and make everything okay. I get that it's not as "glamorous" as it's made out to be. I get that stereotypes are raging in these shows. I get it.. I really do. I'm that person who has issues with all of these things.. But is that really the point of these shows? I mean sure, we all want to believe that watching tv should be educational too.. but it really isn't. It's meant for entertainment. that's it. Is it our fault that we've let TV overtake our lives and so many people ARE using it as and education source as well? Well yes, but that is another problem in itself.

I think we as a society need to stop criticizing every little thing that happens and sometimes just sit back and take something exactly for what it is.. a show meant to entertain.

Hmm, if you got through all of that I commend you.. I'll give you a cookie. I swear, it makes sense in my head.. but it's now 3 am and it's not translating well into coherent thoughts.. so I think it's time to call it a night. I'll try again tomorrow.

Let's see what this is all about

I'm starting a blog. When did I decide this? Well, about 3 minutes ago. Impulsive, I know. I've never really felt an overwhelming desire to start a blog like I did 3.5 minutes ago, so when the moment came, I figured I should give it a shot. So here we go. What will I blog about you ask? Well, I figured that I would start by blogging about anything and everything while I find my way. Anything that inspires me. Anything that leaves an impression on me. Anything that upsets me. I will write about it. Because that's what bloggers do. Right?
