Ahh, where to start todays blog, today is one of them days where I've got loads of cauliflowers (lots of things on my mind!), and If I was too talk about them, I'd be just waffling on about things that don't make much sense, nothing new there huh! Though no doubt I shall touch on them subjects as I go on! However, I've decided to dedicate the majority of this blog to something less significant and that would be Michael Jackson. Not that I'm saying he's insignificant, I'm sure to alot of pe...

Big Brother five has started here in the UK. Ooooh how exciting. I'd like to say I was beyond this reality tv malarky. I'd like to say I see it for what it is, cheap, tacky tv, playing on our natural need to be nosey, and watch people just live. What is it that gets us so intrigued? For many of the Big Brothers we spent the majority of the time watching people lie in the sun, and generally being lazy, but still we sat and watched. Well I did anyway, maybe the rest of the nation had more...

The way my mind works scares me sometimes. I sometimes feel i am locked up in my own world. I quite like it though, for a short time I get to escape the harsh realities of life. I sometimes wonder what people would think if my life was a movie, or a reality drama. Would they relate to me? Think I'm slightly strange? Think I'm totally boring? I'm sure there would be alot of different perspectives! Reality tv shows have being completely over done. There is something in us all that like...

So I quite like the idea of celebrities as eye candy. Because you can make their personalities as you please. They can never prove you wrong. They can be perfect, and never answer you back...ahh perfection, hehe! So I found an article on sky news about the ten sexiest men. Brad Pitt was number one, so it wasn't a very imaginative link, however, I had far more interest in...... Top 10 Unsexiest: 1 Michael Jackson 2 Chris Evans 3 Peter Andre 4 Simon Cowell 5 Robbie Williams 6 Just...

I've bonded with my television again, we are attending couselling and should make a full recovery. There's two television programmes recently that have got my attention. One is about the beauty pageant girl who was murdered and one is about pushy parents. The one about Jon-Benet Ramsey was on last night, I was tempted to watch it, but having previously watched a programme about her and knowing how upset that got me, I decided against watching it. Last time the programme completely infuria...

I'm slightly obsessed by adverts, I don't know how this obsession started, or why, but I have favourite adverts, I actually get excited when they come on TV. My Mum is convinced that I actually prefer the adverts to the actual Tv programmes! I like the whole idea of mind manipulation, as humans we think we're so clever, we think we are on the ball, yet we let ourselves be influenced by these adverts, I don't even know if it is letting ourselves it's a sub conscious thing, but we do know som...

I think I have grown out of the stage of my life where I really find celebrities attractive, or more to the point have crushes on them. In my younger years it was Mark Owen in Take That, and then we moved on to Nick Carter....that one I am ashamed of now, becuase I see him and I think what a moron. Then there was Joshua Jackson.....I still have quite a thing for him on the sly, hehe!! Anyway, as I have got older my attraction has taken a slightly different route. I am more attracted now ...

I've watched a ridiculous amount of television today. Old shows from years ago. One of them was the show 'Mad about you' with Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser. I do remember watching that years ago, but it has been a while. Anyway there was a discussion in the show about attractive cartoon characters. The winner was Betty from the flinstones. Ha, so this is attractive? There was another option...... I wonder why that one is huh! So JU, I what are your favourite cartoon char...

It's amazing what we are attracted too. We have these polls, agreeing who the most attractive female and males are. We all can kind of agree, that someone is traditionally good looking. It goes far deeper than that. People don't always end up with what we decide is typically good looking. Mostly because we are all attracted to different things. Some people go typically for looks, some go for personality, some go for confidence. It all depends what you like I guess. Now in Hollywood th...

I love strong women and women with a bit of spunk. In a society dominated by men, we need them women to show what is what. I am also a sports freak. I adore sports. The effort that goes into it. The passion behind it. The tears, and feeling they can make you have. When the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, there is no other feeling like it. Oh how I love it. I enjoy tennis alot, and there are no stronger women, than the Williams sisters. They gave the womens game a new l...

So I did a personality test. I'm a sucker for this kind of thing. I have to say, this one was very close to the truth though. Here is my personality, according to the test...... I'm an idealist! ( Are you all shocked, ha!) Summary of Idealists Make sense of the world using inner values Focus on personal growth and the growth of others Think of themselves as bright, forgiving and curious May sometimes appear stubborn More about Idealists Idealists put time and energy into ...

The Beckhams are having another baby! Front page news! Far more important than murders, crime, war, politics! Of course it's far more important, I mean the Beckhams have pulled through them times of bad publicity, and are now ready to continue courting the media, because now it suits them. What is it about stars that demands this kind of attention. Why do us mere mortal have such an interest in them. Bookies are already taking bets on what they will call this child. I mean come on peop...

The amazing life of....... The Hilton sisters! Yes I'm ashamed to say it, but MTV got me again! I swear I become more and more addicted to that stupid channel everyday. I watched this show about the lovely Hilton sisters the other day. The lives they lead, the money they spend, the houses they own. Everything and anything that you would like to know about them. You can do! Oh how exciting! Anyway, they have these cats. These gorgeous tiger-like kitty cats. That while watching I...

So I've mentioned over the last few blogs. I'm having huge problems sleeping, because of the weather! I'm going to sleep late, and waking up early, so how to fill these twilight hours. Oh what to do with myself? Well last night I enjoyed a trashy tv night. I am ashamed to admit I did actually enjoy it too. I started off slowly with a trip into the world of Justin Timberlake (god bless MTV) I watched where he shopped, where he lived, how much money he earned, a comparison of all the girl...

My Mum is 50(ish) and the thought of her dancing around in a leotard and dancing provocatively with men half her age just makes my skin crawl, and makes me want to crawl and hide under the nearest rock I can find. Of course my Mum isn't a world wide superstar who has had a career that spans decades, and has the ability to change with the times like no one else. Madonna has though. I don't think there is anyone in the world who doesn't know who Madonna is. Who couldn't name you at least one of h...
