The Proposal- I'm confused as to what this show is about but let's talk about it!

Okay... so right now it's June 18th and right after The Bachelorette ends- a show called The Proposal starts... and I'm confused as to what it's about. So I'm going to talk about it... discuss why I think we're being subjected to this and... then maybe review it? I'm sure its not on by the time I post this... so I don't think I'll actually give it a review... but you bet I'm watching it! Lol.

So this seems like one of those bizarre decisions that I don't understand. Like last summer they had a show that Mario Lopez hosted where people would play Candy Crush for a half hour... and I'm like... okay but I would rather see anything else... So that was a thing people thought would be a good idea.

Anyway now there's this show which is like a pageant... but at the end there's a proposal by strangers. Or maybe they aren't strangers because they mention "A Secret Admirer" and they keep emphasizing that these people will be matched with a proposal in one hour.

So like... that's a terrible idea. For a lot of reasons.

1) Pageants aren't even really a thing any more... so the idea of this being a pageant is weird. I think Miss America even said that they're changing to be a competition more than a pageant... it's 2018... This just isn't really something people like to endorse.

2) I feel like you can know someone for a long time and it's like... nope. Don't want to marry them. At least not yet. That's just kind of a bad idea.

3) Have you ever gone on a date with someone you met on a dating app and you had a really good feeling about them... and then you ACTUALLY met them and you're like "Ohhh. No. This was bad." Imagine being engaged to them. On TV.

And I feel like the only reason that this is a thing is that it's some sort of elaborate plot to something else.

I feel like maybe there's some sort of investigation on one of the contestants or something and maybe they wanted to get as much information as possible so that they could get them.

Or maybe it really is an end of the world scenario and this is how they're trying to match us up quickly to try to repopulate. Maybe after this people will go to that weird airport in Denver and lay low... I'm pretty fascinated by this airport so I feel like I've cracked this theory and this is what's really going on. Or it's like a "Cabin in the woods" type of scenario where someone is controlling these people. Either way... I'm not sure these people are making their own choices and I'm a little concerned.

Maybe someone just owed someone a favor on ABC and this is what became of that favor.

My last theory is that this is all just a game being played by rich people like in Rat Race... this seems the least sinister and most likely... so it's probably just this.

So I'm going to watch this now... and I might review this but I'm not sure how long I'm going to actually watch this.

OMG another theory- this is Black Mirror!

Bye!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
