I NEED TO TALK ABOUT BIG ED AND ROSE!!!! 90 day Fiance thoughts

Alright guys- so I know basically nothing about 90 Day Fiance... I don't even know if I saw an episode- basically I just watched whatever I could find on youtube about Big Ed and Rose because my boyfriend sent me a link for Big Ed's story and I just kept watching whatever I could about those two. I think this might follow different pre-engagement stories of different couples and this one just kind of went viral from what I'm gathering... but... it's bad. 

Alright so Big Ed claims to be a man that was single for 28 years after his wife divorced him because he cheated on her. Already Big Ed sounds like a winner right? But then he was lurking on facebook and meets this beautiful 23 year old girl named Rose... Do the math and Ed's been single for more than her entire life... allegedly? And I say allegedly because  somehow I think Big Ed's lying about some of it... but I could also see him being single not by choice for more than 20 years because... he isn't really a gentleman. 

So other than the age gap- there's also a distance gap between the two. Ed lives in California and Rose lives in The Philippines. They still communicate by facebook messenger and Rose sends Ed a Selfie every day... which impresses Ed greatly... possibly because Ed is a photographer and why wouldn't Ed be thrilled by someone sending one of these every day! 




BTW this is a picture of me from 2016... She didn't send him a selfie of me obviously- that'd be weird... but I just though it would be fun to use my own selfie. Plus- I don't really want to bring Rose into this- she's been through enough from this already. 

Big Ed- being the great guy that he is- sent rose very lavish gifts. From an Expensive Sheet Set to a Grill for her father... he sent it. But... this wasn't exactly what it seemed. Rose claims he never sent any of these gifts. Ed says he did but because they're very expensive and she lives very far away in a poor area-it just didnt get there. The real truth  of the matter is though... Whether Ed did send them or not... they weren't really gifts for Rose and her family- they were gifts for Big Ed so that he wouldn't complain while he got there. He sent the Grill so that Rose's dad could grill for him when he got there and he sent the sheets because Ed has Atopic Dermatitis and needs to sleep on 50,000 thread count sheets or whatever. Fun fact: Atopic Dermatitis is Eczema- which I also have! I don't really think thread count has anything to do with it to be honest- while I know that higher thread counts are more comfortable and might feel better on eczema prone skin... I'm not a dermatologist- but I'm fairly certain thread count is mostly a way to market the comfort of the sheets and not an actual factor in helping Atopic Dermatitis. What is factor though is humidity- so I'm sure if his condition was that severe his dermatologist would recommend avoiding humid areas... like The Philippines. But that's really none of my business. 




ANYWAY Ed seems like a relatable guy at first. He puts Mayonnaise in his hair... which is gross- but it does work at making your hair softer. He also wears a kimono. No word on whether he moonwalks away from awkward situations or not. 

 

Anyway all of that aside... the more that goes on and the more you see the man complain about literally everything and all of his weird jealousy's towards Rose's facebook friends and her previous relationships... it's just kind of a hot mess. My heart broke a little when Rose's family made a really nice surprise party for her and Ed and Ed was just kind of shocked and disgusted by their living conditions... it was really insensitive and he was very ungracious and rude to the family. 

So this isn't a show I ever thought I would watch... I don't really see myself watching it again but... It was interesting... and I just thought I would share my thoughts on it... 

Okay... so that's that. I'm sure I didn't go into enough detail on any of the situations... I didn't even talk about the Monkeys! But there were some serious issues on this show I don't really think I can talk about. I can just call someone rude when I think they're being rude so... yeah. 

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 ...
