Thoughts on the Jersey Shore some more...

Yes that rhymed...and yes it was on purpose. Mom,Dad and I went walking on the boardwalk today, since the weather was very permitting. We all drove out to Seaside Heights, the home of the Jersey Shore TV show. If you have not noticed being the location of Jersey Shore is pretty much the only thing this area has going for it. That and having the most strip malls per square mile then any other city in the USA. I have heard that from a couple of people, not sure if it is true, but if not the most then it is most definitely second or third. I swear they just built roads. Then on both sides they built crappy shopping malls and filled them with Pizza shops, gyms, nail salons and grocery stores. It goes like that for miles! pizza, gym, salon, grocery, pizza, gym, salon, and on and on. After they built all that, all the people who owned and worked at said stores built houses. That my friends is how Brick New Jersey came to be. After awhile all the original owners retired, so a dozen retirement communities were built to house the retired owners.

Wow, lost track of the point there a bit. So we were walking on THE Jersey Shore boardwalk. Past all the booths and food stands from the show. I must say, looks like a pretty fun place to go in the summer. It was only half open but they seem to have a lot of fun activities there. We walked past the "Shore Shack" and the people there were preparing for the summer season. I walked right past the guy who owns the store, THE ONE FROM THE SHOW! Yes, I walked right past someone who had a somewhat regular role on a popular television show. Most exciting thing that has happened to me in quite some time.

Thoughts on the "Royal Wedding"

It was not that long ago...TRY TO REMEMBER!

Hokay...so I am going to rant now and I shall place my cross-hairs on this whole royal wedding thing we have all heard so much about. My first (and I think strongest point) is Why does anybody care about it? Especially people here in America. Last I checked we fought a revolutionary war just to get away from those damn British monarchs and now everyone here is shivering with excitement over watching their wedding on TV, YouTube and god knows where else. I am pretty sure that God gives websites and TV channels the birthright to air the Wedding. Not every common TV channel can air the royal wedding. Sorry sidetracked by sarcasm...Back to the point. We live in America and since the Monarchs in Britain are more or less all for show, why do we even care. All they are over-hyped movies stars just with WAY more money and more fans. Give it a year or so and I bet they will have their own reality TV show and the Princess will have her own perfume line.

Beyond the question of why we care about the British Monarchy is the question of why the British Monarchy still exists. I am by no means an expert in European History (I opted for AP Biology instead DUH), but I know a bit about the History of our country, the History of the world and A fair bit about WWII. It was my recollection that their was a pretty massive uprising against the Monarchical system of government, and for good reason. When a mass of very poor angry people are ruled by a small group of extremely rich elitists, well, people get beheaded. French, Russia and USA all overthrow or in our case rebelled against are Monarch rulers and it was always bloody. From those rebellions were born more effective and fair systems of government. The United Kingdom has a perfectly good system of government. They just decided to keep the monarchs around for whatever reason. How could you not want to idolize the universal symbol for tyranny, oppression and horrendous financial imbalance. I am sure others exist but to my knowledge the U.K. and Suadi Arabia are the only countrys that still have kings and queens, so that is good I suppose. My mom said they are good Monarchs now and that they do a whole lot of good charity work. I am guessing if Willy and Kate eloped and got married in a tiny chapel alone and donated all the wedding money to charity, hungry people all over the world could be eating wonderfully, I imagine they could even afford cake.

The sun never sets on the telecast of the Royal Wedding...
Not the most original, but it fit so well, had to be done.
