Modern Family

        There's a show on ABC (channel 7) called Modern Family.  If any of you have seen it, it is like the most hilarious show ever!! It's called Modern Family becuase obviously it is about families that are somewhat like families today, but WAY more exaggerated.  There are three families..I'll tell you about them:
        The first family is Claire and Phil with their kids Hayley, Alex, and Luke.  Phil is an idiot and he is really dumb.  Hayley is a teenager and is always wanting to take crazy risks.  Alex is a nerd and Luke, like his dad, is not very bright.  One time he got his head stuck in between the bars on the stairs.
        The second family is Jay (Claire's dad) his wife Gloria, and her son Manny.  Gloria is really young, young enough to be Jay's daughter, and is really pretty.  Jay is an older guy and Manny is a kid who acts like an adult.  He always sends love notes to women who are like old enough to be his mom.
        The third and BEST family is the gays, Cameron and Mitchell (Mitchell is Claire's brother).  They have an Asian daughter named Lily.  They adopted her from Vietnam.  Their funniest moment was when they locked Lily in the car and Cam was screaming, "I'M BREAKING THE WINDOOOOW!!!!!!" while Mitchell was on the phone and the lady was like, "Sir, tell your wife to calm down" and Mitchell said "That's a man..."
        You should really  watch Modern Family, its epic!!!!

Freakout kid!

        So my dad showed me a video on Youtube called Greatest Freakout Ever.  I showed my friends and then we found like 15 other freakout videos of the same kid, Steven!  There are so many different crazy things he does for so many stupid reasons!  There was one where he took a gymnastics class, lit a christmas tree on fire, broke a $3000 tv set, threw a microwave outside, hit his truck with a baseball bat, and more!
        I really feel bad for this kid, though.  I mean, he obviously has something wrong with him, but theres not like theres anything I can do, so I laugh at him! I also feel bad for the parents. You can tell that they've got a LOT of patience for not giving that kid away.  On the other hand, they're always yelling at him, but still...
        Anyway, you should really watch the Greatest Freakout Ever videos on Youtube.  They are super hilarious and they make you feel normal!

Ghetto Kids

        Alright so a bunch of you probably know that November 2nd was Dia de los Muertos.  For those of you who may need a translation, thats Day of the Dead.  Anyway, there was this parade in the south valley for it and I went with my parents and my cousins.  So you know how they give out candy? It's like thats all the people came for! It was REDICULOUS.....
        So we were standing right behind a bunch of kids, and I think you can put the pieces together on that.  Everytime people in the parade walk by and throw out candy, those kids act like they're gonna die if they don't get it! There was this lilttle girl who was probably about three, and next to her were these two boys who were probably like eleven and they would like literally DIVE for the candy! Im like seriously?!?!?  Let the three year old get it! Even my dad was like oh my gosh I hate ghetto kids.
        And then the people who were "giving out candy" were flipping crazy!!!! My mom got hit in the face with a box of Dots and I got hit in the leg with a lollipop! It was so violent!  Kids, when your parents tell you to stay away from the gangsters and the ghetto, take their word! You might get knocked out with candy!

Kitchen & bath

        I was sitting here and I was like what should I blog about? So I Googled blog topic ideas and I came across like the dumbest topics.... There were different categories such as family, music, food, and home & gardening.  In that category, there were different topics, and one said kitchen & bath.  Yes, kitchen and bath.  I mean i know people are bored and thats why they have blogs, but kitchen & bath, really?
        So if you had a kitchen & bath blog, what exactly would you say?  Oooh my microwave should go under the toaster instead of next to the stove! Or, bath salt makes my water pink!  How about kitchen & bath combined?  Actually that wouldn't work, because half of the things in your kitchen would electricute you if you put them in your bathtub. 
        Therefore, the blog topic kitchen & bath is really stupid.  Even just a kitchen or just a bath is kind of weird.  I mean, like, for real, nobody cares when you're cooking or washing your dirty butt.  People really need lives.

Occupations

        My friends and I were talking about what we think were going to be when we grow up and we got some pretty weird things.  We have Gabby working at the library, Julia on QVC, Ayse as a weird forrest person at the Bosque, Sophia as a lawyer, Amy as a principal, and me as a Hollywood tour guide. You might ask, how do we make these assumptions?? Well, i really don't know, but I'll try to explain.
        Gabby, of course, is the smart one and Julia just has that type of voice and face, you know? Ayse is just really jumpy, outgoing, and likes animals. Sophia likes to debate and Amy is just that kind of person. I would be a Hollywood tour guide because apparently I'm the "celebrity stalker".
        Comment about what you think of these and give your opinion about yourself, the nerd herd, or anyone else! Thanks!

Tattoos!

        Alright, so this is the second post about tattoos (the first one was Gabby's and it was my idea, no offense) Anyway, hers was about what tattoos she wanted, mine is going to be about tattoos in general. 
        I am sure most of you get this from your parents: "Tattoos are abusing your body! You don't need tattoos! You can never have tattoos!" This rule is simply stupid which is why most teenagers don't follow it. Tattoos are a self expression and they're just totally awesome! My parents, on the other hand, say the opposite of what most say. The conversation goes "Oh, Alyssa, you should get tattoos when your old enough!" "Mom, I'm not sure I want many tattoos, maybe just small ones." "You should get some though, theyre really cool!" Don't get me wrong my parents are really good parents, they just have gages and tattoos and my mom has black and red hair. 
        I really want to know your opinions on tattoos, so leave a comment! And vote on my weekly poll!

Music!

        Ok, so the popular music right now is pop and hip-hop. People like this....why? Autotune, music from computers that sounds like a video game, and pointless lyrics are so in right now! Not very many people like country or rock because its either depressing or scary. Jazz is also another type, but they don't really have that anymore.
        I'm not the biggest fan of country (just Zac Brown Band and Taylor Swift, woohoo!) but i think country singers and bands deserve a lot more credit than they get. This is because they use actual instruments, and playing instruments actually requires talent. Anyone can sing with autotune and make fake music.
        Rock on the other hand is the same.  People don't like it because of the screaming and the hard music.  In their defense, it is really hard to scream like that (don't try it, it hurts) and the guitar picking and drum beats are really fast since the music is really upbeat. I also think that rock/metal people should get more credit.
        Comment about what kind of music you like and vote on my poll please! Thanks!
