Did anyone watch the Oprah show on Puppy Mills? It was on awhile back, and then there was another on sort of like an update or something yesterday possibly?

Well, I  recorded the origin show. I usually record Oprah, and delete the ones I don’t care about. So, I’ve had the puppy mill show on there for quite some time. I’d be looking for something to watch, and I’d go through the Oprah shows, and pass over that particular show. I wanted to watch it, but when I thought about it I got a knot in my stomach.

It recorded again yesterday or something, and it was at the top. There was nothing else on, so I pressed play. I started out covering my eyes. I watched a lot of the first 10 minutes like that. Then when I watched there was a lot of groaning, and me saying things like “I fucking hate people!”.

Then there was the happy parts where the man who rescues these dogs, takes them to the rescue, they get medical care, and groomed and adopted. Yay!

THEN! The show takes you to Fort Worth, TX. to a shelter. The guy there shows you the process of how they Euthenise the dogs. From the process of picking out the dog, they show the dog, he marks his card with a red “E”, and if that dog isn’t adopted that day…the next morning they are put to sleep, they show that mornings process “Let’s start with cage 1″, you see them going to get the dog. Then they show you them putting a dog down…I think…my face were covered with my hands as I sobbed.

I cried hard, and it was the saddest thing ever. I really can’t understand how people can do that. I understand that there are a lot of dogs out there, and what is the shelter going to do with the dog?

Yet, still it is so sad. It’s heart wrenchingly sad for me to watch dogs or animals in general to be mistreated. To me mistreated is leaving your dog in your backyard it’s whole life like it’s a plant or something, even if it’s had a dog house. Obviously mistreatment of dogs gets far, far worse then that…but I still feel really bad for those dogs left in yards or chains.

Before we got Betty, we went to a couple animal shelters in the Valley to look at the dogs and give them love. It seemed like at least 1/4 of the shelters was Pit Bulls. Same on Oprah. Every shelter they showed, had at least 2 Pit Bulls in the line of runs they went down. We spent time with all the Pit Bulls there, because you know the chances of them being adopted by a nice loving family is slim to none. Especially the really big guys who look a little intimidating, even though they are just a much love bugs as the chihuahua down the way.

I never really know what my passions are, or what I want to do with my life. I’m 32, shouldn’t I know this? Anyway, I do know that animals are a huge passion for me. They always have been. I like animals better then people. Dogs are my favorite though. I feel like I have a connection with them.

I’ve wanted to volunteer at a shelter and walk the dogs, and give them love. I just can’t bring myself to do it though. It’s emotionally draining going to the pound for me. It bums me out, and makes me sad. I get choked up as I leave, and feel like a jerk that I can’t bring them all home with me and give them love, and a warm comfy house to sleep in.

I think I could volunteer at a rescue at least they aren’t being squirted with a hose as their run gets cleaned out of the poop and urine. A place where the dogs are treated with kindness and love. So, even though they don’t have a home or a family they aren’t being mistreated.

So, I’m going to find a pit bull rescue that Jeremy and I can go volunteer at on the weekends.

I find myself becoming a tight wad where money is concerned.

Usually everyday I don’t go anywhere so I don’t spend money. I love when 3 days have gone buy and I haven’t spent any money on anything with the exception of food.

Last night I wasn’t surprised that Brooke was voted off. I pretty much knew it was her going, but I still held out hope that by some miracle from God that David Archuleta would be going ba-bye. I just can’t handle his all to happy demeanor. Constantly smiling and just so happy all the time. The kid obviously sings really, really well…but his song choices every week are like the same type of songs. Slow, and lame. I think this week was the only week he sang a somewhat upbeat song with “America”. I was growing really tired though of Brooke’s face. I couldn’t handle another week of her lower lips coming up over her top lip. Jeremy said one week how her face just makes you want to punch her. Ha!

Another thing that is bothering me about Idol this season is the “themes” they are choosing. Like the most ridiculous artists. The contestants are young people, and they are giving them dolly Parton or Andrew Lloyd Webber. I mean really? Then Neil Diamond. Don’t get me wrong, I even like Neil Diamond. but if it weren’t for my childhood, I wouldn’t really careless about Neil Diamond. Maybe I wouldn’t even know any songs. When I was growing up my Grandma (Dad’s Mom) loooved Neil Diamond. She listened to his music, which then made me like Neil Diamond. Jazz Singer was my very first album at 7 years old. I remember seeing Jazz Singer the movie at the drive in with my Grandparent’s and my Aunt Boo who was 4 years older then I. So Mr. Diamond kinda holds a special place in my heart filled with some memories of my childhood.

So, last night I was bitching to Jeremy how they keep putting these older folks up there, and their music is kinda old you know? Why not pick something like The Doors? They have so many songs to choose from. They put out 6 studio albums before Jim Morrison died. At least that is music that younger people would dig more then Andrew Lloyd Webber…and I am pretty damn sure they could get at least Ray Manzarek to come on to Idol and help the contestants out…ya know? I know he seems to like to get out there and talk about The Doors and Jim and stuff. Or how about Van Morrison?

That would be really fab, and I’d get all kinds of excited.

Right now on t.v. is a documentary called  Too Hot Not To Handle. It speaks of Global Warming. I also saw An Inconveniant Truth. I believe based on the facts shown that Global Warming is true and that it is not Propaganda. Why would anyone want to lie about Global Warming? I consider myself to be left-wing. My brother is extreme left wing. He knows a lot about politics, and can argue his way through a political debate. I don’t know much about politics. I know I usually agree with my brother. My brother spends his time educating himself about poilitics, and he know facts. There is this video he watched called The Great Global Warming Swindle, basically saying that Global Warming is a lie and the earth has always done this. They have fact’s also and you watch it, and you don’t know what to believe. Which one is right??? Has the earth always fluctuated?  The video is over an hour long, but go watch it if you care about things like that or are interested and have an hour to spare watching a documentary. Then let me know what you think about it. I’m torn.

I was watching the DIY Network on t.v. and this commercial came on. It was so cute, that I didn’t turn the channel all day so I could show Jeremy. Well he get’s home, and it won’t rewind all they way. I go search You Tube. Nothing. I search Google, nothing. So I’m thinking it is a far stretch, but I’ll check the website. Lo and behold it was on there! I love how nowdays, commercials are SO funny, and entertaining. Often times, Jeremy and I will rewind a funny commercial over and over and just crack up at it!

Here’s the one from Armstrong Hardwood floors.

I also love that one that goes Bow Chicka Wowow. Oh my god, I crack up everytime, and will go on You Tube and watch them like 10 times in a row.

You know there was a new show on t.v. that I was pretty sure was starting this week. It was a new reality show about hair. I’ve been into Shear Genius, and I love it, and there was another one and I don’t rememebr the name, Hmph! I thought it was called “Final Cut”, but I’ve searched my DVR and I can’t find it anywhere. Does anyone know what I’m talking about and know what channel it is on? I cna’t miss it, because I am a reality show junkie! Heeeeelp me!

Yay…it’s on right now!!! I can’t wait to see who goes home, well I can’t wait if it is Melinda. Ha! If Blake goes home, I am gonna be so dissappointed. He’s my favorite, and I’d even like to see him WIN. I know he’s going to make it regardless, but, I’ve been voting and rooting for him since the begining. So to see him win will be awesome. What’s funny is I get all nervous every week now. Ha! Okay, it’s back on. I must watch.

On the news right now, I’m watching a car chase. I don’t know about other parts of the county, but out here in Southern California it seems like high speed or low speed car chases are frequent. This is the second one I’ve seen today. Actually, I haven’t seen one in like a month or two, and before that not in awhile…but that might be because I was working. Maybe our news channels just liek to televise them.

Anyway, the newscasters crack me UP! Their commentary is just so fucking LAME, and it cracks me up! This guy keeps putting his hand out of the window, and they are saying “Oh, he’s flashing gang signs!”, “This man is covered with tattoos, and may be a gang member, involved in violent activity.” Mind you they know nothing about the guy. This car is an older Honda Accord, with paint off the roof, and hood. The guy says “This doesn’t appear to be a newer car…haha” The lady says “Yes, it is beaten up!” Ah, no shit! The guy stops and they all have their hands out the window. Newscaster says “Their hands are in the air” Nooooo!!!! Is that what that is?

“Well I guess he had his fast food, and his cigerette and decided it was over.” About the guy giving up. I don’t know, something tells me it was the tires all blown out, and not the food and cigarette.

I think I watch them just so I can laugh at the commentary and make snarky comments about them.

Anyone watching this show on TLC? I’m watching the first one I think, where the dude is bringing in a 3rd wife, and the 2nd wife doesn’t like her.

I think they guy is a pompous pig personally. He just gave his lecture on how the wifes should be honorable wives, and get along and he is finished. Ha! If I were the first wife, I’d fucking bail out on his ass…and take him for everything he’s worth since she is legally married to him for 21 years.

Oh man!!! I am so excited!!! My most beloved show in the history of the WORLD is coming to Bravo on Monday, October 2 @ 9pm!!!! Jeremy and I watched the whole series with Netflix. We just finished it like 5 months ago, but I am so ready for another go round! If you haven’t seen Six Feet Under before…you MUST watch it. Although I’m concerned because they won’t be showing all of it. Like the cussing, drug use and other risque things that made the show so very wonderful.

I was actually sad when I finished watching the series. I would think about the Fishers as I was driving, and get kinda sad that I couldn’t watch them ever again. Is that weird? Have you ever just really felt characters in a show before? I really don’t understand why they didn’t keep the show going longer. They easily could have kept going for at least another 5 years. I mean just for me.
