RWOWZZ

Okay, I know I was a little behind -- about 1 week I believe. But the moment I started playing Jersey Shore's debut episode, I knew my life would never be the same.

First things first. I grew up in Jersey, but not at the Shore. I am from respectable Central Jersey and although I went to the Shore, I did not act or speak like these freaks. I do admit, however, that "look at that guy's tatt" and "wanna get a slice?" and "let's go to Bar A (A for Anticipation in case you have never been there)" have all been phrases I have uttered.

"I mean this SITUATION is gonna be indescribable. You can't even describe the SITUATION that you're about to get into the SITUATION." Yes, these were the words uttered by Mike who calls himself "The Situation" because of his abs.

Then there is the extremely short girl Nicole aka Snooki who wears her hair like two Princess Leia buns on the top of her head. Snooki passed out on night one and thinks the whole house is against her. They can't remember her nickname is Snooki, so they call her Snickers, Snicki, oh my god. These people can't even get a nickname right! She keeps calling her parents on the phone that quacks like a duck when it rings. She wants to go home where she is the Princess of Poughkeepsie -- who would say that about themselves?

Angelina aka "Jolie" does not like their job working in a t-shirt shop on the Boardwalk. "I feel this job is beneath me. I am a bartender, I do, like, you know, great things." Working 8 or 9 hours a day is too much for her. But she has no problem calling her boyfriend 5 times after he hangs up on her and it goes to voicemail.

Pauly D is happy that 4 foot tall Snooki is staying "She is definitely my girl. In a weird Snookers world, like, me and Snookers, would make the best, like, little Guidos and Guidettes." I can't take it anymore.

Let's talk about the SITUATION again -- "I just have unbelievable mass appeal. Everybody loves me, babies, dogs, hot girls, cougars. "

Jenni, JWOWW, has some fashion problems. There are children who read this blog so I will not get into the details, but she is now the Queen of inappropriate tops in my humble opinion. And then her and Pauly D? Yucky. But she likes to eat ham and drink water.

And then Vinny got pink eye. I thought Ronnie was normal, but then he made "Ron Ron" a pink drink. Yeah, no way.

I really am watching other things, so here is a little about other TV.

It is good that V is over until March, because I was about to drop it anyway. Brothers and Sisters on the other hand - is ridiculous heart wrenching. The whole Kitty cancer story is out of control. I'm not a big fan of Justin and Rebecca, but their pre-wedding jitters brought a tear to my eye.

And then there is Glee. Sue Sylvester is beyond words. And the last episode where Mr Shuster finally found out that his wife was faking her pregnancy was so good. But what really rocks my world is the soundtrack. Best morning music EVER. Start with some Journey, into REO Speedwagon, hit some Rihanna, Heart, Kanye's Golddigger, I am in heaven. It also got me back into singing, because in my wildest dreams I can sing like Lea Michele. Dream on!

I'm going to attack movies finally - I've been lazy. Saw Blindside over the Thanksgiving weekend and really liked it -- not very realistic (although from a true story), but a well made, good feeling movie. Sandra Bullock is so watchable and Tim McGraw did a great job - props to my country man.

Also saw Up In the Air -- everybody RUN and see this movie. It is funny and warm and harsh and real and just everything. George Clooney plays a guy who has separated himself from real life by fully engaging in the life of a frequent flyer who flies all over the country to fire people from their jobs. He is completely cold yet unbelievably charming at the same time. And when a new co-worker and a new frequent flyer pal enter his world, he learns his life lessons. This is a movie I want the screenplay to -- I want to re-read every line. It will be seen again.

Well that's all for tonight -- more soon my friends.

In the words of Mike, "Everybody at the shore definitely knows the situation. As far as I know everybody loves the situation. And if you don't love the situation, I'm gonna make you love the situation."

Hey Mike, here's the situation, don't be ashamed of your obsessions because that would be a situation.
