Gay?

So, I'm an ongoing fan of reality shows. To each their own, right? Well, I catch a lot of flack for watching shows like The Real World or Jersey Shore and such, but I could care less. Those shows may lack morals and things, but they're entertaining as hell. Now, I'm sure many people have at least heard about Dustin Zito from this seasons Real World cast in Las Vegas. Apparently, he did gay porn for several years and was keeping it as a huge secret from his room mates for awhile. It eventually came out in a number of ways. One of the room mates mother sent her an email revealing his feisty past. Now, this may not seem like a huge deal to anyone. People do porn. So what? But Zito made it his business to make Heather, the room mate mentioned above, his girlfriend. They had hooked up and were pretty much sleeping in the same bed like a couple for a short while. Of course, before you become intimate with someone, it would probably be a good idea to reveal that you had participated in porn before, let alone gay porn. Now, when this finally came out, which Zito feared would happen, everyone, including Heather, sort of turned on him. They got on him about lying and he felt cornered, although most of them felt bad for him anyway. They were mostly upset because he lied about it and would say a lot of homophobic statements, which made it seem like he was trying to overcompensate for his past. That only made him look worse. But anyway. I'm rambling. That happened a few episodes before the finale. And tonight, or last night, the reunion special aired. During the show, another cast member, Mike had a lot of issues with Dustin. They would always fight and be angry at each other and at this point, it's clear that Mike hates Dustin, but why? Why have hate for someone? I understand if you can't get along with someone, but the way he speaks about Dustin and to Dustin's face is extremely hurtful and mean. Disliking a person doesn't give anyone the right to disrespect them or their character just because of that factor. Not only that, but as a God fearing man, he should learn to forgive. Buuuut enough about that nonsense. I want to talk about the toll Facebook has taken on the world today. I mean, people wake up first thing in the morning and jump right on Facebook. I remember my cousin put up a status that said People wake up and get right on facebook. Brush your teeth and shit first. I thought that was hilarious and so true. When I wake up, I go to the bathroom, brush my teeth, wash up/shower and then get on the computer. At least I do it in that order. Facebook can wait. But people treat Facebook like it's a form of God or something. You're not in a relationship until it's Facebook official. You're not broken up until it's Facebook official. What the hell does "Facebook Official" even mean? Last time I checked, when you break up with someone, you're broken up at that very moment. Not when you change your Facebook status to single. That's why I never change my Facebook status and I'm married to my guy friend for that very purpose. I don't break up with people and think Wow, I have to get straight to Facebook to make this real. That's nonsense. But people live by these rules. I think that Facebook is good for remembering things and setting up gatherings and things of that sort, but to treat it like a notary is pretty ridiculous to me. That reminds me though, I have to update my status. By the way people who read my blog, if you know anything about Music Producing, feel free to hit me up. I love making music and you can click on one of those side bar links to the left if you'd like to have a listen to some of my work. I'm going to school for this and plan on making it big, just like millions of other people in the world. But I do plan on working my ass of to reach this goal, so watch out. Oh, I've got a serious, serious question about the word Gay. Do you get offended when people use the word gay when describing something bad or stupid? I see those commercials all of the time and wonder to myself, how many people get angry over that and how many don't. I, myself, am bi and don't get upset over people using the word gay in that manner. One, because I know at this point that it's become a fad and once it becomes a fad, it is unstoppable. It's like the "N" word. First it started off as a really bad word, but eventually became something of the norm. The word gay never really started off as a bad word though. It was just used in a bad way when said back then. But now, it has a whole different meaning. I doubt anyone who even uses the word gay in that way, is even thinking about homosexuality when they use it. I could be wrong, but that's just my take on the matter. I try not to be disrespectful or anything towards other people and I'd like for people not to be disrespectful towards me also. But, I am guilty of using the word. It's awkward though if I think about it. It makes me wonder, am hating on myself? That would be quite unfortunate. But given the fact that I don't care too much about words and how much power they are supposedly to have against me, it doesn't affect me. But does it affect you? Let me know. Well, I'm going to go eat gummy worms and drink juice while trying to find something to watch on TV before I pass out. Til next time...Tralalalala
