Its Over......So Over
Its sad but my first post in well over a year, and its about a TV show. I am so over Grey's Anatomy. In fact this has started out to be a worse season than season three, and thats hard to believe. But let's face it, Grey's has lost its appeal. They have too many characters who are all trying to be the main character. In fact from the last four episodes I have gathered that a very important character could be leaving the show. Now I have not found any information on-line nor has ABC released any information to my knowledge. But I believe Ellen Pompeo is leaving Grey's Anatomy. And I have 5 reasons for believing that Meredith Grey is on borrowed time.
1. There is now another Grey girl on the show to keep the title and have it mean something
2. Meredith has had no real story line
3. Derek and Meredith are Over Over; and he is getting closer to Lexie. Because he can talk to her like he can't to Mer. Even though she is the "love of his life".
4. Ellen Pompeo's make up and hair style has not changed, even though every other characters' hair has changed.
5. Again she is getting less air time. And she is supposed to the main character.
All I have to say is that I am sad to see the way Grey's is going this season. Shonda come on. First you take away Burke, who was awesome. Now you're letting Pompeo go? Meredith is the best thing on the show. She made the show. All I know is if her character leaves, there is no reason to watch the show. Lexie is more obnoxious
A House Is Not A Home
As the time has come for my college career to end, I have found myself to be slightly depressed at the thought of leaving campus for the summer and not returning in the fall. Its natural for a person to be side when one era in their life ends, but I find its harder for me than expected. Because when I leave IWU campus next Tuesday I won't be returning to a place that I consider home. Sure I will be moving back into the house I've lived in for the past 7 years, but to me it still isn't home. Of course it doesn't help that my parents are in the process of selling the house. Last night as I took a solitary walk around campus I realized, this campus has been my home for the past four years. It doesn't matter that I have had two different roommate, several different groups of friends, or lived in four different dorms. It is the campus as a whole that is my home. I love the fountain by the library, the "vagina" (that Amy nicknamed), the retention ponds that Es and I thought would be fun to swim in so we did, on top of the dug outs, the statues, Drama 108 in Kem, Carmin 119, Reed 316 (I think that's the right numbers), and toho 518. There are so many good memories I have the WU. Laying out by the basketball courts and rating guys with Tory. Going to Applebees for half-price appetizers with the girls (T, Micah, Jaime, Julie). Early morning donut runs. Sneaking out of Reed and then sneaking back in. The Mexican restaurants. Getting "raped" but Stacey and Rania junior year. The randomness of my suitemates. The randomness of the Freshman girls (T, Micah, Jaime, Julie). Laying on the track field freshman year doing our first roommate bonding session with Es. The late night talks with Es. The random picture times with Es. Being the unofficial assistant RA for Es. I have grown and changed so much since I first came to IWU. I can look back and see how I've changed, grown up. When I first came to IWU I was scared and all I wanted to do was go home, where I knew how to survive. But I did survive here and I've come to love it. I feel safe and comfortable on this campus. And its hard for me to leave it and head off into the literal unknown. I have come to love this campus, this school like I never expected. This is my home. The place where I really grew up (or at least attempted to). I will remember the educational and life lessons I learned in my classes. The education and life lessons learned from my friends. But as hard as it was to come to IWU and how scary it is to leave it, I know I will be okay, because I survived four years here at college. And I am a stronger, smarter, semi self-reliant person because of it. And though this life transition is going to be difficutly I will okay and I will make a new life and a new home for myself. As I close out this post I am going to give u two quotes: one from Matt Fielding (Doug Savant) as he left Melrose Place, and my modified version of Matt's quote of my leaving IWU. Matt Fielding: I had never lived anywhere like this. It's a special place, you know? Amazing people have passed through here. Some have died, some have gotten married and just moved on... But I swear it was only a moment ago I was sitting at the edge of that pool laughing with Rhonda. I'll remember them all. The old and the new. And I will always remember this place. It's where I really grew up.
Me: I have never lived anywhere like this. It's an amazing place, some special people have passed through here. Some have graduated, some are getting married and moving on. But I swear it was only a moment ago that I was star gazing with Esther, sharing our life stories and roommate bonding. I will remember them all though. The older friends and the new ones. And most of all I will always remember this place. Because it is where I really grew up.
Value of Life
I've recently come across this website vie Michelle Malkin's Blog. http://charlottewyatt.blogspot.com/2005/04/charlotte-wyatt-longer-biography.html. This is a story about a severely ill child who is struggling to live. She has parents who love her and are doing anything and everything in their power to make sure their two year old lives for tomorrow and many tomorrows after that. The biggest struggle little Charlotte Wyatt faces is not her poor heart, her inefficient lungs, or the damage her brain has suffered. It is not that she is currently blind or deaf. No the worst thing little Charlotte faces is that the doctors who are taking care of her, do not care about her life. They care so little about her that they have gone to court to fight for the "right" to withhold life support if they feel the need. They have one the right to let little Charlotte die. Now doctors are allowed refuse aggressive care to her in order to let her die. The problem with this is that Charlotte's parents love her very much, and are fighting to keep their little girl alive. Even after the birth of a second daughter, they fight for life for Charlotte. I am unable to understand how people who went into the medical field to help people and save lives can so easily give up on this little girl. So what if she isn't 100% or will need help for the rest of her life, she is still a wonderful girl who is loved. I have a cousin who is 16 years old. For the last 12 years he has had cancer, an inoperable brain tumor. My aunt and uncle have done an absolute amazing job taking care of him. It has not been easy for their family (they have an older son and one younger) they make it work. This includes a couple of trips a year from Eastern KY to Duke Medical Center. “Sam” could not have survived as long as he has if it hadn't been the support of a family that loves him (immediate and secondary). A community that has offered physical, emotional, and prayer support. But most of all if there hadn't been doctors (from several hospitals) who did everything in their ability to help “Sam” to where he is today. Right now “Sam” has the functions of about a two year old, but in my families eyes that does not make us love him or view him as any less valuable as anyone else it. My aunt has been committed to do everything she can to give “Sam” the best possible life. Without him our family would not have been complete these past few years. I even have a nephew right now who has a few health problems. And I am glad to see that his doctors are doing everything they can to find out what exactly is “wrong” with him and how can they best help him. He is getting the best possible care. And he has parents who love him and are getting him the help he needs. My brother-n-law does physical therapy every night with his son to help the 7 month old’s muscle develops and works better. My whole family has chipped in one way or another to help out. This isn’t easy since they live in Germany. So my question is why do Charlotte Wyatt’s doctors not want to do everything possible to save this precious little girl? Why have the English courts given them the power to let this person die? The American courts sentenced Terry Shindler to death, would they do the same to Charlotte Wyatt? A mother has the right to abort her unborn babies, and doctors have NO say, yet a mother does not get the same right in deciding if her two year old daughter lives? Why do the doctors now have the power for a DNR? That should go to the next of kin (her parents). This truly sickens. I hope there have been no cases like this in the United States. Though I could guess what courts it could happen in (Pointed Look at Judge Greer and the judges on the 9th Circuit Court). I am just amazed at how people will fight to keep a criminal alive. They will cry that it is cruel and unusual punishment, yet does not care if a woman aborts her baby or doctors gain the right for DNR on a small two year old girl. There has been
47,282,293 is how many abortions have taken place since Roe v. Wade. Hopefully though it might be overturned (see previous post)
Can It Be? Is This The First Step?
I was sent this article today and I was amazed by it. Never in my lifetime did I expect this to happen.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,185991,00.html. If the governor signs this bill into law, some amazing things could start happening. Is our nation beginning to realize that we are a nation that see sanctity in ALL human life? Words cannot express my amazement to this. There are many states that have anti-abortion laws that just have never been repealed after Roe V. Wade. The problem is that most laws that make abortion illegal cannot be enforced because of Roe v. Wade. But as it was explained to me that the purpose of this law is to bring Roe v. Wade back to the Supreme Court in order to get the law overturned. Which with the current Jusitices, has a decent chance of happening.
