The Oscars

I loved the Oscars and thought that everything that deserved recognition received plenty of it. Everyone is saying that Hathaway and Franco were boring or just not suitable but based on their inexperience I personally think they did a really good job!
I am especially ecstatic about Colin Firth's win

Grandad's Annual Beach Trip Speech

Grandad: "Babe, another Corona, will you babe?"
Barbara: "Okay hun."

Daniel: "Hasn't he had like four beers?"
Aunt Linda: "He isn't supposed to be drinking with his new medication..."
Aunt Mimi: "Why is Barbara giving him another?"
Ben: "Well obviously she wants him to kick the bucket, Aunt Mimi. Barbara's like, what, 40? And aren't we celebrating his 78th birthday this week? What is this; Hugh Heffner?"
Aunt Linda: "Benjamin!"
Ben: "I mean honestly. Grandad is going to fall over any day now. She's clearly a gold-digger."
Daniel: "But she ain't messin with no broke, broke!"
Logan: "Shut-up, Kanye."

Grandad: "Everyone! It's time for me to- gather around. I want to give a speech."
Uncle David: "Here we go again..."
Daniel: "Should I go get the other cousins?"
Aunt Mimi: "I don't know if I want my kids to hear this, remember his last speech?"

Grandad: "Everyone, I want you to first know that I love you. I love you all. Secondly, every year we come here and I give a speech. I may be a few beers deep this year, but I love you. I love all thirteen of you grandchildren."
Uncle David: "I think you mean fourteen..."
Grandad: "I love all of my kids. But, we all know that sadly, one cannot be here with us tonight. I would like to take this time to have a moment of silence for my beautiful daughter. She passed away as we all know. So, everyone, let's take this time to have a moment of silence for Mimi. Oh, poor Mimi. We all miss her dearly."

Aunt Mimi: "Dad... I'm right here. I think you mean Beth. We all miss Beth..."

In defense of everyone that is officially saying "What the hell?" to Lady Gaga

Honestly...  I feel like there are no words needed, but I'll continue. I just can not see how anybody would think highly of her anymore. I think that she wants attention and is trying extremely too hard to be eccentric and different. It would be one thing if she did this egg stunt at one of her own shows, but at the Grammy's? I think that Gaga is now spelled G-I-M-M-I-E-A-T-T-E-N-T-I-O-N.

Oh! The Places You'll Go

It's so funny to ponder about where life will take you. I think about this often. I have been to many places already and I'm only 18 years old. There are SO many places to see; things to experience, but unless you are Oprah, chances are that you aren't going to see everything you want to see in this lifetime.  

A day without technology

On Friday, I tried to go a day without using the microwave. I am always lazy and never cook, and always use it. Needless to say, it was hard! I had to go home on Friday for a family emergency and conditioning myself not to use a microwave, even for a day, was difficult. I ended up eating cold foods all day and waiting forever to cook potato skins in the oven! Honestly though, cooking foods in the oven makes them tastier, so I guess I have to be thankful for this assignment.

THE Event

One of the greatest moments in history: the day I was born. It was a warm Saturday morning, the day before mother's day- May 9th, 1992. Bringing me onto this earth is probably the best thing that could have happened to this planet. To further back up my point, I asked my mom what she thought of it. She agreed. Maybe it really was? I mean I have proof. Many others would agree with me.
EXCEPT my roommate, Kirsten. When looking back at that day she says she can't even remember it, but thinks that based on what she sees of me now, "it would have been better if I wasn't born at all." What a joke.

Conclusion: History is more or less based on opinion.

Kids these days

Something that I saw on 9gag.com really got my thoughts-a-brewin...

Kids these days are missing out on a lot of epic things that 90's children had growing up. I thought of a small list of great things about growing up in the 90's:

1. The privilege of watching t.v. shows like Hey Arnold! and Boy Meets World.

2. Being introduced to gameboy color, rather than be spoiled from the start with Wii.

3. Being apart of the original Pokemon! franchise

4. Being able to celebrate New Years during the New Millenium!

5. Most importantly, growing up with the Harry Potter phenomenon.
