Thanks again, BSers for your comments. Perhaps later on today I will have the opportunity to visit your Blogs and catch up. You’d think with all my downtime I’d be by to visit more often, and the kindness with which you’ve supported me with is great.

 I’m starting to think of my trips to medical with my wife as “dates”. true, they are not neccesarily romantic in the traditional sense, but they do give you an opportunity to talk about so many things. We like to talk about what our future plans are , our family, celebrity gossip and even things as flippant as make-up. I do not know anything about make-up and quite frankly I have a hard time feigning interest. But my wife at heart is a girlie girl and she loves to make comments about how much she loves a certain lip gloss or a certain brand.

 According to her, revlon is good but almay is horrible.

 But these are the small things I love about my wife. And bless her heart she has done everything around here. I mean, she gets up at the latest about 7am, makes me breakfast and takes care of everything. She then wakes up our son and takes care of him.

Then she has to get us both ready, if we both have things to do. He goes to daycare everyday and lately I’ve had doctor’s appointments every morning.

On top of that, she keeps the house clean and runs all the errands and does all the chores and she is also attending college classes and pretty soon she will start her courses to become a nurse. Oh the sweet coincidence of that one.

So yeah I think between my wife, my son, the BuddySlimmers and my family yeah I have a really great support system in place. oh yeah and my regular job, too. they are like a second family and they have been great.

okay so celebrity gossip. i recently read rosie o donnells book, celebrity detox and it is great. i loved rosie and i thought she was great on The View, she was the only good thing about it. Not that I watch The View all that often anyway. yeah I do like some girl shows, but a dude has to draw the line somewhere. I do think Whoopi does a great job though from what I see. I highly admire Whoopi and I think she’s awesome.

Well so Rosie’s book lets you see what a crazy dictatorship The View is run by Barbara Walters and ABC and i can’t believe that someone who has all these great interviews and such a braodcast legacy like BW is basically squandering it on a stupid show like the view.

And it seems like BW doesn’t get something: young people like me don’t really care. We know she is a legend and all that but someone like Rosie is way cooler and way more relevant. Relevancy. That;s it. Barbara Walters is not relevant to the year 2007. Period. She trots out this stupid once a year Most Intersting People special where she asks the most boring-ass questions and who really cares.

I bet Meredith Viera, who is a real journalist, almost lost her friggin mind being surrounded by the likes of Walters, Hasselbeck, Star Jones, and Joy.

Joy isn’t so bad but she’s just sort of ho-hum. She’s not that funny she just reminds me of a zany old aunt that gets drunk at every wedding.

and i’m glad sherri shepherd is on the show to fill in the moron spots left wide open by star jones and liz h.

i’m sorry to be harsh and you know i am a liberal social progressive type person, but people like sherri just drive me up the wall.

did ya’ll see her nonsense blathering about “the world might be flat”. can she really be that dumb?

next thing you know she’s lushing it up with martha stewart and a bowl of alchoholic punch.

her latest thing was about some little boy who was in daycare and innocently dressed up in a dress and sherri’s all like “I’;d be upset because boys are supposed to dress a certain way and girls are supposed to dress a certain way” and all that.

now this might sound crazy and controversial from a white dude here, but does sherri realize that if everyone had her type of mentality in this great nation of america, people with her skin color would still not be allowed to vote and they’d still be on the back of the bus. thank god some of us are willing to push the envelope and make positive change and not be stuck in the dark ages like sherri sheppard.

argh, i really hate being mean but that whole thing just pissed me off. i’m gonna be proud of my son no matter what he does. if he’s a big macho football player, rock on. and if he turns into a swishy dress-wearing salsa dancer i’ll still be just as proud.

as long as he doesn’t become a republican.

hahahaha i’m just kidding ya’ll.

i really don’t like to get that much into politics because i just want the whole world to get along, ya know? so i hope if any of ya’ll are really conservative or really republican i didn’t make you mad.

i’ve said ya’ll way too many times in this blog entry.
