Another thing I've come to become obsessed with is MTV's "True Life" series. I first realized I had an obsession was a few weeks ago. I was watching it in my apartment while Bryan and Andrew watched in their apartments. We were all Tweeting and texting about the episode "True Life: I'm Polyamorous" which was stupid. The four guys were frustrating and really trashy. Anyway, Brandi pointed it out that I'm always watching this show. Well, it's true. I've been watching the marathon on MTV today. So far I've seen "I'm Living a Double Life" and "I'm Bisexual." I'm also in the process of watching "I'm Deaf" online during commercials. So yes, I am pretty much obsessed. The one thing that hit me was in "Double Life." There was a guy who was gay but living as both gay and straight. He had separate groups of friends and separate night life activities. The gay friends knew he was pretending to be straight, and pretty much most of his straight friends knew he was gay. When he came out to his best girl friend, she knew he was gay. She wasn't stupid, and she knew him better than he expected. I have a constant struggle with this concept. When I know someone pretty well, and I know they are gay when they do not admit it... I don't know what to do. I mean, I know I do not say anything or bully them about it. I come from such an accepting household where I cannot begin to comprehend someone hating their child or their friend because he or she is gay. It's a part of who you are, not the whole part. So I never want to tell the person I know they are gay; I wait for them to say it. Some people, though, really frustrate me. I guess it's people like this guy on "True Life" who chooses to have the two lives because he doesn't have to work as hard to appear straight or people who are gay act straight and can never be happy because they cannot be themselves. In addition to acting and singing, I really want to start a center for people in high school and college who have a hard time with this. No one should struggle with accepting themselves, but unfortunately shitty people inhabit this planet.
Okay off of my soap box. Onto the music.
Day 12: A Song from a Band You Hate
I chose "Haven't Met You Yet" by Michael Bublé. I chose this song because I cannot, CANNOT stand Bublé. I hate his voice, I hate his music, and I hate his personality from what I've seen on TV. So yeah, the personality thing is kind of overdone, but anyway. I think he's a huge copy cat, and he tries way too hard to be like Frank Sinatra, and he's failing. I'm big into Harry Connick, Jr., and one can argue he does the same thing. I HIGHLY disagree, though. I love the crooner, jazzy style of music. I just think Bublé is a cheap knock off of Sinatra. I chose this song because it was an original song he wrote. I think it's a little creepy, and I do not care for it at all. Overall, I cannot stand him. He's not talented. He should never have made it farther than a Vegas review of Sinatra.
Day 13 - A Song That is a Guilty Please
Okay, okay, okay. I get judged so hard for loving Glambert, but I love Glambert. I love his shock value and theatricality. I think he's fantastic, so call him a guilty pleasure if you wish. I am guilty, and I am not afraid to admit it. I love this song "Fever" because it's really gritty and sexual. Lady Gaga wrote it, by the way, so it makes total sense. I listened to her demo of the song, and Adam just adds this entire new level to the song. I love me some Adam Lambert, and I am so sad I cannot see him Tuesday at the NorVa. I do, however, get to see him in August in Richmond :D
Groove is in the heart, lovers.
