As we all know, the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards was live Sunday night and it was horrible. There were no outbursts, arguments, Kanye West stunt, or anything scandelous. Many hopeful and dedicated fans of the VMA's didn't waste any time blogging aka trashing the show that used to be the first thing talked about at school on a Monday morning. Lady Gaga didn't even perform and everyone knows she's sure to put on a great show.
I am devastated that the show was bland. I remember a time when MTV had to fit three performers in one performance and the length of the show was three hours, not two hours. And all the popular musicians were actually at the VMA's! I think it's time MTV retired the VMA's even if this show had the highest ratings since the 2002 show. What happened to the viewer's choice award? MTV is a reality show and the only music that is played is during the TV (prescripted) shows. I propose MTV call it quits after the 2014 VMA's where it will be their 30th show.
I had this long conversation with my brother and we came to the realization that times are changing. BET is also a network for shows and not music. When I was home during the summer in middle school, I remember BET played music videos from 9AM-1PM. Now they play The Jamie Foxx Show, The Game, and One on One.
It's jsut sad that the show is in two hours, not enough spectacular performances, and extremely bad jokes amde my the hosts.

Fist Pump
School is officially back in session! What exactly does that mean? New shows and new seasons of shows. I don't know when Pretty Little Liars will be back on but I can't wait. In the meantime, there's Jersey Shore. I know this show is absolutely ridiculous but I can't help watching it. Snooki and The Situation are probably the two people who make the show worth watching the most. The Situation has a plan to creep on as many women as he can as long as they are not grenades--he has such a way with women. As for Snooki, you just have to love her her sarcasm. She acknowledges her small vocabulary of words ans she's Snooki.
Right now, MTV has decided to save all anticipated fight between JWOW and Sammi until the last three minutes before the hour long reality show ends. What a way to get ratings highter! Build anticipation. I definitely want to see all the heated arguments that follows after JWOW. There's going to be something to talk about for the rest of the week.

High School Carrie Bradshaw
I haven't been updating for the past few weeks, but I have read some pretty great books. I recently read Candace Bushnell's The Carrie Diaries. This YA novel is absolutely the best introduction to Sex and the City. A senior in high school, Carrie Bradshaw is a sweet innocent girl much to her dismay school and then heartbreaker Sebastian creates a whole load of confusion for Carrie and the so called best friend Lali.
A classic high school friendship destroyed because of a boy who gets away with all the schemes. While I read this novel, I kept thinking about the relationship girls have with one another. Though not all girls are catty , verbally destructive and just plain mean, the dynamics of are still somewhat stereotyped. Carrie is blinded by Lali''s wrong faults in playing tricks and not putting much effort to even hide her betrayal from Carrie. Also, the punishment is not distributed fairly between couple who are caught in the act. It get's juicer and more questionable when Carrie only forgives one person.
Carrie is beginning to start her writing career early by applying to The New School and enjoying the last bits of high school. However, don't be fooled ! Carrie isn't the same person she later becomes in Sex and the City. Miss Fashion Forward is beginning to acquire a eye for fashion but it's not entirely there yet. One fashion accessory at a time to ease the stress of insecurity and wondering about the same old problems.
Candnce Bushnell uses Carrie to express a simple thought about whetre or not a person is a bad beacuse he or she betrays another person. This is a interesting thought and I agree with Carrie's take on the issue; I am just as confused as she is. This section towards the end of the book wraps up the end of high school drama and the beginning of life in New York City. This novel is fun sweet and the last last line is just asbolutely phenomonal leading straight to Sex and the City.
