About Me

My photo
I am very shy at first but when you get to know me you'll know I never shut up. I have a sarcastic sense humor and like to joke around a lot but I can also be very compassionate. I am a huge sports fan and I am obsessed with baseball. My favorite place to be is Turner Field and before I die I want to visit every MLB stadium at least once. I am a very basic person and do not rely on lots of materialistic things- I think high maintenance people are either gold diggers or extremely selfish or both and I wouldn't date one so I'm not a huge fan. I love tattoos because they are creative and artistic and permanent. I am a very impulsive person but I like to make my actions and words clear and remembered. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

"Real" media

When I was told to pick some kind of media that was real to me, I immediately wanted to choose a television show. However, the shows I watch do not exactly relate to me and touch me in an emotional way. Amanda showed us a trailer to an upcoming season of Intervention. I watched a few episodes online and I think that show relates to me and touches me a lot.
This episode is about an alcoholic. My father was an alcoholic and we tried to get him help several times. Like the man in this clip, rehab only helped him for a short amount of time. It touched me, because the man in the clip actually tried to get better. My dad didn't. I don't like to see other families struggling with the same issue I once did, but it is somewhat more comforting to know that other people are going through the same thing and I can talk to them about it since people that don't experience it do not know what it's like.

There is also a video by Nickleback that is very emotional to me, because I feel like it is the story of my life exactly.
