So, Izzy actually watched the bachelor this season.  Yeah, I know, but I really loved Matt’s accent and got hooked from the first episode on.   I only half assed watched since I had the TV on while I was surfing the net anyway, so it isn’t that bad! 

Then again, by mid way through the season, I definately had gotten hooked.  I really didn’t have any favorites throughout, but I did like Shayne more than the others.  She seemed very cool and less small minded than some of the other ladies.  I really had started rooting for her by the hometown dates episode. 

I thought they had great chemistry together and she seemed so laid back and cool about the whole deal.  A part of me wonders if it is real, but really so what if it isn’t.  It was entertaining and fun to watch and I am sure they both had fun throughout the season.  Even if they aren’t really in love, I still liked watching them together. 

So, why do we want the fairy tale ending all the time?  I seriously can’t make myself believe in that crap anymore.  So, jaded is how I look at the fairy tales.  And I won’t feed them to my kids.  I would love to have them grow up minus the lies of all the bs we were told as kids.  You know…white picket fence, dog in the back, 2 kids, flowers, sunshine, and happiness abounds.  That is so bullshit I can’t even stand it. 

That said, I still can’t resist the fairy tale endings and the happiness that appears to be happening when the story ends.  I don’t believe in it anymore, but I still love to see it. 

My daughter got the movie Enchanted and we watched it.  It was great, but I made sure to tell her that while we love movies with happy endings, we shouldn’t expect it in real life.  Now, I certainly don’t advocate negativity, but I also don’t want her to grow up expecting a prince charming.  Come on now ladies, we all know that the prince is strictly for the movies and our imaginations.  Sucks, but we all know it’s true. 

The reality varies for each of us, but I think we all can agree that whoever we get, he certainly isn’t a prince.  IF you have one, PLEASE let us all in on where the hell you found him!!!!!    

Anyway, I hope Matt and Shayne have a wonderful time together for however long they are together.  That’s it for now folks!  Remember now Different is the new black, and if you like what you read, buy me a Caramel Mach!!!!

Namaste!
