Extreme Home Makover.
I was watching this show (Extreme Home Makeover)the other day and I realized (again) what a horrible show it is. I mean sure they help people that need help but come on! If I had been in desperate need of a home I shouldn't call on them. That obnoxious Ty with his megaphone and all his "helpers" that cries all the time...how the hell they get a house together in just a week is beyond me...I mean they stars to cry every minute. And EVERY time I have seen it they all cries about how terrific the families are and how just that family is the best one and how wonderful they are and how much they deserves this house...and I always feel for the families to and can totally see that they needs help and a house BUT if you really need a house shouldn't you be happy for a normal house...do you really need a mansion that should make Hugh Hefner green of envy (okay maybe he wasn't the best example...I thought about the size not the chicks)...and I will never forget when Ty cried about a family that had lost the mother or father of the family and Ty says that now when they have built them this house can they go on with their lives...yeah, because giving them a house is TOTALLY giving them their parent back...No I really hates that show and my husband loves it so I always find myself in front of it (feeling sick and wanting to kill myself). Again, I totally feel with the families and think that they totally needs and deserves this help. I have a problem with this constantly crying and the fact that they exaggerate so much, I really think that a house with 15 rooms and 5 floors is just TOOOO much. I should start to love the show if they take that fucking megaphone and put it somewhere there the sun never shines ;) (pick your favorite, I don't care witch)
But then again it can be the swedish person in my that don't like this "showing feelings in television"-crap. Swedish persons is this kind of persons that if you punch him in the eye he says "thank you, feel free to punch me in the other too if you want to". I love examples so here comes one: In one of my old schools we couldn't sing the national anthem when the school finished. This because all foreign people should take it the wrong way!! And to top it all we didn't even have any foreign people on that school except the adopted ones and one that had a swedish mother and a father from another country. So we can't sing the national anthem because the foreign people should take it the wrong way and there isn't any. In Sweden we're so afraid for racism that we don't sing our own national anthem...IF you sing it you are called racist. The last thing I am is racist but I like to be able to sing my own national anthem if I like to! Speaking about the national anthem "Du gamla Du fria" (You old You free :)), in other countries national anthems they sing about how much they love their county and want to live there...In Sweden's national anthem we sing that we want to live and die in Norden (The "nordic") witch is a name for 5 countries: Denmark, Norway, Finland, Iceland and Sweden. I mean what is that about? I want to live and die in Sweden but whatever...Now I am a big racist because I like my country. If I shouldn't like it I should have moved.
So well, I should do something more today, I should pick up some chairs at my grandmothers place. I tries to make my apartment nice and cozy. It may take some time but PLEASE don't call on Ty and company because I like my apartment and don't want to have to cry my eyes out in TV. And I don't want to have to clean a 6 floor house with 23 rooms...I just realized what it's all about, If they makes the houses this big the family never have to see each other again...that's something to cry about...or the fact that they have SOOO much cleaning up to do in this big house...
So TY can stay there in his big country and I stay here in the small country up north that in some decades has disappeared because we have said "go ahead and take over our county" to many times...
