Reality TV Rocks!!

Ok so I am admitting it now...my other weakness is reality TV. My new favorite is Project Runway. I am not too sure who I am voting for to win yet?? But what I do know is I like Daniel V and Chloe...they both always seem to do fabulous designs!! Oh and we cannot forget about the drama king of them all, Santino, he does make for good reality TV though! His designs are totally out there and some love them and some hate them! Let's not forget to say that Heidi Klum is the host and she was pregnant during the shooting and damn does she look good pregnant. Wow, can I look like that when I'm pregnant or better yet can I look that hot anytime?? It's getting good as it gets closer to the end and it aires tomorrow night, so woohoo!!!

I totally have to give a shout out to Beth from the Gauntlet 2 on MTV. She is kicking ass and pissing everyone off at the same time. She is so evil and I love it!!! She keeps kicking ass in the Gauntlet at the reverse tug o war because as the other cast members are so not sublte to announce that she has 20 pounds on all the ladies. How horrible for evil Beth?? First she beats beloved Ruthie and now she has taken down mouthy Montana. Now we are back to everyone kissing her ass and talkin' shit behind her back because no one wants to piss off evil captain Beth. Will she continue to be the captain and piss everyone off? Only time will tell?? But it does make for some entertaining TV... as MTV never lets us down...

An awkward encounter

This past weekend I'd have to say didn't really contain anything excitng for me. Most of the time I was on the couch as I wasn't feeling well...don't you hate that when you get sick on the weekend? I was however excited to get caught up on my 90210 re-runs...yes I am a big dork! Sunday rolls around and I decide to do a little grocery shopping and long behold I run into a friend of mine and it was definitely one of those awkward moments. First, let me just say that I haven't seen her since we last went out for dinner and drinks a few months back. However, soon after that things got kinda shady between us when she decided to bail on a weekend trip at the last minute...and the understanding was that anyone who bailed would still be liable for money for the room. Well, let's just say it was like this huge ordeal to get her money. So of course there is gonna be some awkwardness as I was the one who had to get the money from her. She basically didn't send the money so I had to contact her a few weeks later asking for it. And at that time she tried to make me feel bad and say she wasn't trying to not pay me that she had simply been waiting on checks, yeah sure like I believe that. I was not in the mood to run into her and I also wasn't feeling too hot, so that didn't help things. We basically made fake small talk and then went on our way. I do have to admit that we were at one time really good friends, so for something like this to happen just kinda sucks, ya know? It's kinda like how when something like this happens you see the person in whole different light and the whole thing was just one big awkward encounter...

Totally Addicted!!

So I am totally and fully addicted to these damn celebrity blogs. Oh, how I wish I could write about what the celebrities are doing or better yet hang out with like Perez Hilton. I have to admit that my morning consists of turning on my computer and reading his new posts of the day. And my other new fav blog is Pink is the new Blog. Which is much the same as Perez's but he talks about the popular TV shows, my other favorite thing to do. Why, you may wonder am I addicted? Well I am a big dork who gets pleasure out of reading about the celebs. Brittany or whomever is the topic of the day. It kinda makes me uninspired to write about my own random thoughts as I wish I could be writing about the celebs too. I know I know it sounds lame but maybe one day? I guess you can't live in Sac Town and report on that kind of stuff, ya know??

Oprah gets down & dirty with James Fry

Anyone else catch the Oprah show yesterday? Oprah freakin let James Fry have it like there was no tomorrow. She says she truly felt duped by him. She said she deeply regretted phoning into Larry King in support of James Fry. And she basically went "off" on him and made him endure her rath for the whole hour...I actually kinda felt bad for the poor lad. Ok, I totally understand the fact that eveyone is so upset that there were parts of his book that he embellished. But Oprah definitely got her pay back...she reamed the publisher and made her point known. All she wanted to do was prove that James Fry had lied in his book to which he actually admitted, so it wasn't like he was trying to avoid it or anything. He totally did not have to go on Oprah at all again, but he did. Are you surprised that parts of the story were embellished? Because I'm sure as hell not. But why is this the top story right now? Does this change how you feel about the book or how much it helped people, NO!!!!! I still think it is one of the best books I've read. Do I think that maybe it shouldn't have been called a memoir, sure but we should get over it! Doubleday is now publishing a author's note stating that yes in deed parts of the story were changed. Does this make everyone happy? Probably not. But the funny thing about the whole show was that people kept praising Oprah for taking a stand and admitting she was wrong. That is just so entertanining for me. Once again Oprah has managed to come out on top even when she makes a huge mistake. I love Oprah so don't get me wrong or anything...I just feel like the whole situation was blown way out of proportion...I mean come on isn't there better things for the whole world to be focused on???

New Years Resolutions

What's your New Years Resolution? Mine is to hit the gym more. Every year at this time we are all trying our best to fulfill our resolutions. And it seems to go smoothly at first, but by like march they always seem to be thrown out the window? Why is this? Do we set resolutions that are unattainable or do we simply just give up? It's always the thing to talk about around the New Year so you'd think we'd put more effort into actually accomplishing them. Should we strive for something that is easily accomplished or should we go big? I guess if we had the answer then we wouldn't keep making these resolutions that we don't keep.

Jakx wishes everyone a Happy New Year!!

A New Year

It's a new year and so I thought I'd try and start off by actually updating my blog for a change. It's been two months since I last wrote...sad isn't it? So far 2006 has been good, nothing too exciting to write home about but nothing bad either. And at this point in my life that's just fine with me. 2005 was a drama filled year it seemed, at least with crazy family stuff. So I'm happy to start fresh in a sense. I can't not talk about the main thing that I've noticed this year and that is the increased number of people at the gym. It always happens this time of year and all I keep thinking about is that 24 hour fitness commercial. Have you seen it? The one that shows different people working out with t-shirts on that have sayings like: "need to lose holiday pounds", "to prove the 40 is the new 30", or "trying to make ex jeaulous". But it is always entertaining for the people watching factor as you can totally pick out the newbees. And I wonder what their t-shirt would read? Something like "Ate too much apple". Ok, lately I seem to notice the random shops popping up around me...and I live in a nice area and all but it makes me wonder when the name of the store is "Gold Time Jewelry and Gold Teeth". Ummm, is there a huge demand for gold teeth? I didn't think it was cool anymore, but what do I know? I am not even sure it was ever cool? Oh and the "Dub Shack" well that one didn't survive, but it specialized in urban wear? What the heck? I just cannot phantom buying clothes from the Dub Shack. Things that make you go hmm?
