I'm seriously loving the Real World/Road Rules Ruins this season. As always there is already tons of drama surrounding every situation. This week Tonya got kicked off for hitting Veronica (obviously my favorite) in the face, which of course is against the rules and gets you kicked out of the house. Every person on the show has different character traits/flaws whatever you want to call them.

Veronica: has the best name ever, always speaks her mind and is a huge bitch. very pretty, causes drama at times, but is a strong competitor. obviously my favoriteee

Tonya: always drunk, always yelling, always whining, always fighting. thank god she went home this week. good riddance.

Johanna: stuck in the middle between Wes and Kenny's fighting, but she did it to herself. does well with dodging the issue, hasnt been in the limelight too much.

Casey: easily the worst competitor, the champions are just keeping her in the game because shes weak for the other team and puts them at an advantage. she definitely lost the challenge for her team this week.

Wes: the bad guy. everyone loves to hate him. he likes to try to manipulate people. people aren't really falling for it. wes dated johanna for 3 years and was engaged to him, and then she dated kenny, and now they are all together on the Ruins so it makes for interesting tv, obviousy

Derrick: I've always loved Derrick even when he was an asshole in the previous challenges. He is a tough competitor and is kind of in the background so far this season. I'm interested to see what happens with his usual hard-headed self.

Brad: easily my favorite guy. he is the cutest and is also a tough competitor for the challengers side (even though theyve lost every challenge so far).

Evan: he has turned a 360. he's sketchy and i'm calling it right now... he was all lovey dovey with my girl Veronica at first and now he is bitching at her and talking about her behind her back to everyone else when tonya is the one that instigated the fight? doesn't make sense, not at all.

Cohutta: one of my favorite. so laid back, so easy going. wicked cute accent, nice to everyone ect.

these are the only characters I really care about. everyone else is wicked boring so far this season. we'll see what happensss

Baby Survives Being Hit By Train

On October 20, 2009 in Melbourne, Austrailia, an infant was run over by a train and miraculously survived. When I first saw this headline I just couldn't believe it. The video footage breaks your heart, I can't imagine being the mother in that position. I found this story on Barstool Sports and I totally agree with the Prez says. Why the hell is the mother on the stretcher? From what I saw from the video she was nowhere near the train when the baby got run over. Crazy story either way.

Falcon

Ok did ANYONE see the news today? Unbelievable... or it was until I found out the outcome of the story.

(CNN) -- The 6-year-old Colorado boy who is believed to have set adrift a helium balloon Thursday, prompting ground and air searches, has been found alive, authorities said.

The balloon landed near Keenesburg, Colorado, about 60 miles from its Fort Collins departure point. Falcon Heene was found in a box in the attic of his family's Fort Collins home, according to authorities. People across the world watched Thursday as the homemade helium balloon soared 7,000 feet over eastern Colorado for more than an hour and a half. A sibling said he saw the Falcon get into the craft Thursday morning, authorities said.

But the boy was not inside the craft when it made a soft landing near Keenesburg, about 60 miles from its starting point, at 1:35 p.m. (3:35 p.m. ET). Shortly after the landing, authorities launched a ground search and suggested that Falcon never took off in the balloon. "I'm very confident we will find him. I think it's a matter of him being a little scared," Larimer County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Eloise Campanella said. "Maybe he's not ready to be found."

Falcon's parents, science enthusiasts Richard and Mayumi Heene, were featured on the 100th episode of ABC's prime-time program "Wife Swap" in March, ABC said. According to the network's Web site, the Heene family devote its time "to scientific experiments that include looking for extraterrestrials and building a research-gathering flying saucer to send into the eye of the storm." Richard Heene is a meteorologist and former television weatherman who has submitted to CNN iReports accounts of his sons helping him chase Hurricane Gustav, among other contributions.

The dome-shaped balloon, about 20 feet long and 5 feet high, appeared to be a Mylar-coated helium balloon, similar to a party balloon. It had been tethered to the family home, the Larimer County Sheriff's Department said. The boy got into the craft Thursday morning and undid the rope anchoring it.

Before the balloon touched the ground, fears that the boy could be riding in the soaring vessel prompted the Colorado Air National Guard to launch a rescue mission Thursday afternoon to see if the agency could use a helicopter to steer the aircraft to safety, a spokesman said. Officials could not immediately confirm how fast the balloon was going while airborne.

Marc Friedland, the family's next-door neighbor, said he saw Richard Heene working on the giant Mylar balloon in the backyard. "Basically, the whole family was out there and they were working with it," he said. "When I came back is when I found out that the event happened." He said the aircraft was intended to hover around 20 feet in the air and was not intended to carry people. "Obviously, something went wrong with that."

Friedland described his neighbors as "a great family. They're unusual, yes, of course. He's sort of a scientist-slash-inventor. They're storm chasers -- they go after tornadoes, hurricanes, things like that," he said. "He's a great kid," Friedland said of Falcon. "We see him a lot and they come over and they're always friendly."

What a little sneak! As I was watching the footage on the news my roommates and I were freaking out. Everyone thought he was in the balloon but he wasn't! I can't imagine being one of his parents and going through that entire ordeal. His parents, however, strike me as a bit odd. "The Heene family devote it's time 'to scientific experiments that include looking for extraterrestrials and building a research-gathering flying saucer to send into the eye of the storm.'" Hm..... what to say about this. I guess the fact that this doesn't really surprise me that this is the family that this happened to. Did his parents ever tell him "Don't play near the big balloon in the backyard." What kid of kid doesn't want to play with a huge balloon? Also, what kind of parent names their kid Falcon?

If that was my kid I honestly don't know what I would do. How would you punish him?

Look At The Treeeee

Since my last blog was depressing, I figured I'd switch it up with some hilarious videos. These are links to a few of my favorites I've found over the years:

These should keep you occupied for now. My favorite one is probably the last one because that lady is the epitome of my mother. One day my aunt was joking with me on the phone and said she needed one of those long phone cords so she could bring the phone all around the house. I laughed and sent her the Phone Call video. I also sent her Look At The Tree. She loved both of them and now the lines from each are frequently repeated at all family gatherings, and they never seen to get old haha.

Soccer Mom Death

(CNN) -- A Pennsylvania soccer mom was chatting with a friend via webcam when she was shot to death by her husband, who then went upstairs and shot himself, police said Friday.

Meleanie Hain, 31, made national headlines last year as the mother who carried a loaded, holstered handgun to her 5-year-old daughter's soccer game.

She was found dead in her Lebanon, Pennsylvania, home along with her husband, Scott Hain, 33, on Wednesday evening, Lebanon police said.

Hain was in her kitchen talking with a friend via webcam just before her death, police said.

The friend, who police will not name, was looking away from the computer screen when he heard a shot and a scream, police said. He turned back to the monitor, he told police, and no longer saw Meleanie Hain but instead saw Scott Hain firing several rounds from a handgun toward where his wife had been.

Police said that the woman's body had already fallen to the floor by the time the friend turned back to the screen.

Scott Hain then went upstairs to a bedroom, where he shot himself in the head with a 12-gauge shotgun, police said.

Meleanie Hain was shot several times with a 9 mm handgun, police said. Her fully loaded 9 mm handgun was found in her backpack hanging on the back of the front door.

The couple's three children were home at the time of the killings, police Capt. Daniel Wright said. They were unharmed and took refuge at a neighbor's house before police arrived, he said.

Investigators have confiscated the webcam and computer, but cannot review what the friend says he saw because the online conversation was not recorded.

The death of the couple came four months after Meleanie Hain told her attorney she was separating from her husband, her attorney, Matthew B. Weisberg, told CNN Thursday. However, police said the couple still appeared to be living together.

Meleanie Hain drew media attention on September 11, 2008, when she carried a Glock strapped to her belt to her daughter's soccer game.

Nine days later her permit to carry a gun was revoked by Lebanon County Sheriff Michael DeLeo, who claimed she showed poor judgment by wearing the weapon to a child's game. County Judge Robert Eby later reinstated the permit.

There are so many things wrong with this story I don't even know where to begin. Obviously these people had issues deeper seeded than is obvious. What I would like to know is why isn't there more information about the woman packing heat at her daughter's soccer game? What in God's name was she doing with a loaded gun... in a holster no less. This story has so many ridiculous aspects to it. It's a tragedy and I wouldn't treat it as any less. This is such a sad situation for everyone involved especially the kids. I'm wondering what the motive is. I'd say that "friend" she was talking to was more than a friend. Just sayin.

Farmville

I am officially addicted to Farmville. It's an interactive game on facebook where you have like a piece of land and you grow crops and raise animals and stuff. It's completely ridiculous and time consuming but I love it. Right now I'm on level like, 8. All my friends either have it or make fun of me for having it but seriously this game is so fun haha. You grow crops and get money once the seeds have grown and you harvest them. Once you have enough coins you can plow more land and buy seeds. I can't even believe I'm blogging about this because it's completely crazy but I need to tell the world about this addictive game! :)

Melrose Place

Ok so I've found my new guilty pleasure... Melrose Place on the CW or whatever network that is. Only I don't watch it when it's on because I always miss it... so I watch it online haha. But really, it's great. Ashlee Simpson is on it and she's like the worst actress of all time and she plays this crazy psychopath. Everyone on the show is obviously ridiculously good looking and everyone has a deep dark secret. It takes place in California and it's about all these twenty-somethings that live in an apartment complex. It's the same premise that the original show had, and it's wicked dramatic.

Auggie is my favorite character, and yes it's mainly because I think he's the best looking. He's a chef at a resturant and the first episode insinuated that he killed the landlord of the complex who was an older lady that had relations with two of the young men in the complex, Auggie and David, as well as David's father.

David grew up in a trailer park but his mom died of cancer when he was about 9 or something and his mom called his dad to tell him he had a son and that he had to take care of him. David's dad is extremely wealthy and kind of had a family already so that screwed things up for him so now David's dad resents David blah blah.

Ella is a publicist who puts her job before everything else in her life and is a real hard-ass. She hardly ever shows emotion but she definitely has a secret crush on Jonah and I'm calling it right now. Why else would she try to get in between him and his fiance all the time?

Jonah is an up and coming film director but can't seem to get past making Bar Mitzvah and birthday party videos. He asks his fiance Riley to marry him the first episode and she hesitates for a day before saying yes.

Riley shows further reservations when she accidentally kisses Auggie when she's drunk and pissed at Jonah. She's a school teacher and Ella always makes fun of her for it because she thinks she's too simple for Jonah.

Lauren, Ella's roommate, is a med student who's dad just got laid off so she needs to find a new way to pay for med school. She can't get a loan or anything but really wants to be a doctor so she goes for the only decision she has, prostitution. She becomes an escort kind of on accident when this cute nice rich guy that asks her on a date asks her at the end of the date if she'll have sex with him and he'll give her like $2,000 for school. She can't pass this up and ends up also having relations with his friend for the same thing. In the latest issue she hooks up with this one guy but he doesn't pay her and then he pushes her into a wall and bruises her.

Violet, my least favorite, is Ashlee Simpson and she's a certified psychopath. She claims to be the landlord, Sydney's daughter even though Sydney (before she died) insists that she is not. Violet becomes a suspect in Sydney's murder after she flees from the cops when they come to question her and she jumps out the window. Riley ends up bailing her out of jail.

So that's just an overview. It's a pretty stupid show to be honest but I find myself infatuated with it haha. It's on Tuesdays at 9, or you can watch it online whenever like me :)
