Teary-Eyed Twice
Since my roommate hasn’t paid the cable bill, I haven’t been able to watch TV at night. I have to resort to watching my shows on the internet, which isn’t all that bad, except they rarely put sitcoms on the internet to watch.
Anyway, last night I watched the first night of Dancing With the Stars, and tonight I watched the second night and the results show. I got teary-eyed twice!
The first time was when Kelly danced the waltz, that was really special. I really didn’t expect her to do so well, considering ballroom styles wouldn’t seem to be her forte. In my opinion, she went out there and killed it. At the end, when they showed her parents, I almost started bawling with Sharon. It was so sweet seeing her dad get teary-eyed and her mom is just so awesome, and they were obviously SO proud of her. It was a great, great moment.
The second time I got teary-eyed was during Patrick Swayze’s tribute. It was so awesome. The point where I was like “omg” was when they did part where he runs his finger down her outstretched arm to her waist. I was kind of hoping they would re-create the moment when she chickened out of the jump, but that’s okay.
Anyway, some of my early favorites are Kelly, Natalie, Joanna and Mya for the ladies. I hope Melissa does well, because I think she’s sweet. For the men, I think Aaron did well, and I hope Donny does well. I don’t know, I suppose I’m biased for something, because I like the women more than the men. I think it might be because the focal point in ballroom dance is the woman. It’s the men’s job to showcase the woman on their arm, and the women get the attention. It’s also hard for me to watch the men dance because my eyes always fall on the women. =]

Its too bad I dont’ watch tv.I love dancin’.
Dear Crystal,
I think you just subscribed to me recently and that’s why you’re on my inbox. I don’t watch the reality shows, so I can’t really comment on this. Except to say that for a show about dancing, I’m glad they had a tribute to Patrick Swayze, who was a professional dancer before he became a movie star.
Re: Your latest pulse. (Thats what I really want to comment about, but I write comment/letters and pulse won’t let me write as much as I want to.) I’ve seen people come and go around here in my five years of blogging on Xanga. Some of my favorite bloggers just petered out after a while. Some people left to start their own websites, which I always chuckled at because I had a website before I had a Xanga. And my blog is a part of my website.
I think you are referring to some of the so called “top bloggers.” Perhaps they just got tired or fed up. Once one of the Xanga “celebrities” a few years ago who read one of my freguent “why aren’t I more popular” blog entries told me that it’s not really that great being a “xangalebrity.” Sure you get lots of exposure and comments, but you get lots of evil mean comments too. It’s also pretty dififcult to be “on” all the time, and to constantly come up with entertaining posts. Hopefully some of them will return and ignore the negativity, and embrace the postitivity.
I guess I’m glad I don’t have all that exposure because for the most part my readers and nice, well behaved, and great people. I’ve found a lot of my “friends’ and subscribers have stopped or slowed down, and I recently started blogging more regularly after only postiing one entry a week for most of the last year. (With me, it was ‘real life” intruding on my blogging.)

P.S. I hope you get your cable back so you can watch your sitcoms.
I was said to see Macy Gray go but loved that they censored her comments about her first dance.
