Robert will be Happy

BUT I'M NOT!!!!


I'm boycotting Dancing with the Stars this season, after Monday nights choice of music and the young kid trying to act sexy and the dominatrix/trannie outfits. I guess I"ve lost my sense of humor, but I DO NOT like the song "I kissed a girl" and it's wildy innapropriate for a show that sells itself as family entertainment. I guess the funny thing is that Lance Bass danced to it and he's not attracted to girls, so it was supposed to be tongue in cheek.


That song is hideous, I was listenting to a regular radio station instead of a cd one evening and it came on and I found myself singing along with it, I still can hear the chorus and it appals me! Seriously- and then my friend who lives in Blackfoot IDAHO, the potato capital of the world, tells me she passed the high school and saw two girls making out- this is in podunk Idaho--- I'm thinking that the media that makes this all mainstream is helping to encourage children- YES CHILDREN- to make lifestyle choices they are not equipped to make and will be very hard to come back from.


Stepping off my soapbox-


I'll be out of touch for awhile, we/I are potty training with Joely. So far I'm getting trained on her physical cues and although she had only one success she has had her accidents in the bathroom, so I think she'll be good to go pretty quickly, but it takes CONSTANT VIGILENCE, so I won't be able to e-mail, blog or basically use the phone for a couple of weeks, If you need me I'll be sitting on the side of the bathtub, cheering on the cutest little Mullens of them all.

I changed the music to reflect Joely's taste. I also added a personal favorite, "the rainbow connection" Recently I fell in love with it again because it was sung on the Office in pig latin. But it's been a personal favorite for years. Here is a funny memory- I always associate it now with a very very young 12 year old Chris Mason. I can still picture his angelic little face and his proud mom! He Sang it at a Talent Show in I think 1985?? He was adorable up there with all his confidence. I wonder, does he still sing? Does he still know the song by heart? Does he remember the Talent show? Also why do I only remember his performance and not any other?

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one!! I feel exactly the same way. I hate that song and have been surprised at how mainstream it is. It is irritatingly catchy too! Too bad she couldn't have sung about something less offensive - I would have loved it.
Good luck with Joely!

Ok, again I dissent...I like the song. It's got a catchy tune! I guess it's cuz I'm from the Land O' Liberals. I also love Zac Brown's Chicken Fried song....have I redeemed myself?

I remember buying you paper and stickers for Miss Alice's potty training escapades...did you ever use them?

I hear you. I had the same thoughts on the show this past week -- but since I don't have little ones here while the show is on, I will probably be weak and watch it anyhow. But I agree with you 100%.

Hope the potty-training goes well -- for some kiddoes, it's so easy. Hope Joely is one of them.

I have not had a chance to watch it this year. I catch glimpses of it.
I do hate that song, but I am starting to hate all pop music.

I'm with you on the song. When it comes on the radio, I make the kids change it. Natalie made her own version of it "I kissed a boy". I still don't let her sing it. As for the show, I'll keep watching because I love the big football player (Warren), and I like Brooke Burke.
Good Luck with the "Potty"!! That will take a lot of your time:)

I actually emailed the Today show when they announced a few months ago that Katie Perry would be their Friday morning concert gig... told them I was very disappointed and would not be tuning in. Seriously... are you kidding me?

Chris Mason had, and I'm sure, still has an awesome voice. I remember him singing "Rainbow Conn.." and I remember them all singing the army, navy, air force, marine fight songs, I loved it. Good memories
