You have just been OWNed...

As I flip through the channels, I get a sudden heartache for the network that I loved and watched 98% of the time my TV was turned on...Discovery Health. It has now been replaced with OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network) as of January 1, 2011. I absolutely despise Oprah and taking away one of my favorite networks makes me hate her Yo-Yo dieting, I have money and I can buy anything I want like Discovery Health, even more! It has pissed me off so much that I've thought about writing to Discovery channel and asking why the hell would they do that. It's not only because I hate Oprah, she literally has taken everything that Discovery Health gave (like HEALTH) and gave us shows that we can find on every other channel!!! Cmon..no one needs another "Let's see who can get their OWN show" or 50 billion hours of behind the scenes of the making of OWN!! Can I please have Dr. G, Mystery Diagnosis, Monsters Inside Me, and Trauma in the ER back!! I know I am not the only person on this planet that feels this way. She has replaced health with "Dr. Phil" and her Allstars. When the announcement for OWN was first brought to light, I knew the health would be taken away. I really could not grasp the reality on Oprah taking over Discovery Health. I was dumbfounded! It was like I lost a family member when January 1st came and Discovery Health went. The only thing entertaining about Oprah and her show is summed down to one thing...In this episode, will she be Fat Oprah or Some-what Slim Oprah. She is absolutely NOT the poster child for health! She is more of a parasite that no one can get rid of! So, for the blog ranting record: BRING BACK HEALTH DAMMIT!!

I got sucked in...

After reading my friend's (Abby) blog, I decided this would be a great way to release my thoughts into the world. Plus my therapist (yes, I see a therapist) suggested that I keep a journal to vent. So, here I am with my laptop and racing thoughts about the past year and life in general... 

I always told people that if I ever wrote a book about my life it would be a Best Seller, HA! In the past year alone, the ending of friendships, lovers, lies, backstabbing, numerous alcohol and drug induced nights, and even some moments of clarity were hands down enough for a best seller. Some of this drama, unfortunately followed me into 2011 *eye roll*. Who knows when or IF any of it will stop following me. Anywho, I learned three valuable lessons in 2010; 1. ALWAYS go with your gut (trust me, it’s not cramping because of your lunch). 2. Don’t talk, just listen (people tend to think you aren’t paying attention. Yes, they are that oblivious). 3. Karma is one helluva bitch (she may not be instantaneous but, people end up really getting what they deserve). Even with all the crazy drama...I don't regret a single thing done or person met. Because if anything actually went the way I planned or wanted, I definitely would not be who and where I am right now.
The new year started off with a horrible hangover, and followed was a new job (which I LOVE) and new outlook on people and life. I’m still the open, blunt, easy going, love to joke and laugh, Emmaline everyone knows. I’ve just tweeked a few things, HA!

So, here’s to new “Best Seller” worthy adventures and to the people who will take the time to read about it…
