So I'm addicted to MANY reality shows. The Bachelor. Bachelorette. Bachelor Pad. Love in the Wild. Amazing Race. America's Next Top Model. The list goes on and on. I love sitting back, with a glass of wine, and watching all these ridiculous people competing for either love....or money....or fame.....I just think it's an absolute riot!! And soooo far-fetched from my routine life, that it keeps me completely entertained. (ps - you must think I'm an alcoholic from the number of reality shows I watch since I drink wine during all of them. We'll end that discussion there.)
But the one reality show that I continue to watch.....and it drives me COMPLETLY BONKERS is Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
If you've never watched this show before.....you have not missed out on anything....in fact, you're smarter for NOT watching the show!!! But, for the purpose of this blog, basically the show follows the life of Kim Kardashian (socialite & mogul) and the rest of her ridiculous family....mostly composed of crazy sisters and mother.
What drives me insane about this show is how obsessed they are with "family" and "family time". In most cases I would think it was sweet. But on a regular basis, they treat eachother like such crap, and constantly feel like they need to give their opinions to eachother, even if the opinion is....well....downright rotten!!
In one episode, Kim went on and on to her younger brother Rob about how his hair was thinning. This poor kid looked mortified!!! And the best part was that he was about to step onto the red carpet!!!!! Now...I'm not saying I feel sorry for these multi-millionaires....because Rob could probably make his own clone and steal his clones's hair....but still!!!
Next episode was how Kim felt she had to tell her sister Khloe that her husband had horrible teeth and needed to go to the dentist. Again, making someone feel horrible about themselves but claiming that "I love you and I want you to be better!!!!"
The last episode I just watched (again...not sure why I keep tuning in to this ridiculous show!!!!) was Kim trying to force her little sister Kendall to do runway modelling when Kendall was clearly not interested and crying about it to her Dad.
Kim...if you're reading this right now....and you probably are because I'm really, really, ridiculously important......my question to you is "why is it so important for you to ALWAYS voice your opinions???? You're mean. You're....a MEANIE!!!!
I never understood why "family" feel like they can give their opinions on topics that friends wouldn't dare touch.
Recently I went to a family get-together.....and one of the husbands there made what I think is the BEST comment about how family relationships SHOULD be. He said......"I think families should behave more like friends. If you call your best friend and tell him/her about an issue you're dealing with, they will most likely tell you that everything will be fine and you are still the coolest person they know." We all sat in silence.......hmmmmm.....yes!!! exactly!!! Instead of saying things to your family member based on what YOU want in your life......step back and think about what that person might want in their life instead....and let them make their own decisions.
The last time I let my hair colour go natural, my Polish Aunt says to me "don't EEVERR do dat bleeeech againn!!! you looked horrreeeble." nice. And when I'd wear my red lipstick, my dad told me "hey...don't look like a clown eh?"
A clown???? really???
sigh.
Anyway, gotta run......I have to get all dolled up like a horrible clown and go run some errands.
