Emotional Rollercoaster
Wednesday, August 6th, 2008I got home from work around 8 last night and Clint had gone running. I immediately plopped down on the couch to relax and watch some TV. I am very sorry to say that I got sucked into Scott Baio is 46 and Pregnant.
Has anyone watched this idiot’s reality show??? And is it a reality show??? For one it seems so staged like when he and his friends go to a race track in the middle of the week and smoke cigars with their button down shirts unbuttoned to their navels, who actually does this??? Scott is so annoying. He is this whiney little baby who is so freaked out about being committed and having a baby and only having sex with one woman. He wants this but then doesn’t and then wants it and then doesn’t. It drove me crazy!!!!. It made me so angry that I decided their was no hope for the world with a person like this roaming around having children and infesting people with stupid ideals that I got a little depressed.
Luckily, I finally forced myself to change the channel (at the next commercial of course) and found a program about Uganda, Africa. Since I have spent time in Uganda I stopped. It was about this 13 year old boy who was born with a cone shaped head and he was shunned in his little village. The shape of his skull caused his eyes to bulge and he was going blind. A charity found him and flew him to Texas for surgery. He had 2 major surgeries where they literally sawed off portions of his skull, reshaped them and put them back together. At one point they took off the whole front of his face. It was amazing! And it was all through people who care and are willing to give of themselves and use their talents and skills to help people in need. I cried and cried.
Before:
After:
So, my faith in the human race has been renewed and I highly recommend avoiding Scott Baio and looking for cone headed people to help or I guess other people who might need help too.
Have I watched Scott Baio. Is the sky blue? Yeah, super annoying.
And that surgery is amazing!!
Wow. My husband never would have let me watch the cone head show. He hates anything scary and sad like that…like burn victims or premature babies. But when he’s not around I totally watch all that stuff. I think it’s interesting and it makes me more grateful for what I have and I admire people who go out of their way to help those in need.
That before and after is amazing!
I guess I will have to catch up with it on The Soup! Im sure they are making fun of him on that. But seriously, I cant stand mindless reality shows of has-beens.
wow – that before / after is amazing.
Im glad you found something to restore your faith in humanity.
oh that poor poor little boy, really puts things into perspective. I am glad there are good people out there making a difference.
So I am a blog stalker and I found you on Adam and Kristina’s (but mostly Kristina) blog. I too watched this program last night and was so touched. I also cried and cried. This boy suffered so many hardships in his short 13 years and it thrilled me that he will now be able to live a normal life. Thank you for the reminder of how lucky we are and how blessed we are and that there REALLY are wonderful and amazing people left in the world!
I love watching those surgery shows…makes me want to go out and do something to help others…I’m so selfish!

I find I lose faith in humanity quite often, especially when I hear what songs make the top ten countdown.
The moon and swan pictures are for a poem I’m illustrating, so they won’t be for sale (unless they get published), but I’m trying to get on the ball and get some new things in my shop soon!
Congratulations on
I hate reality tv. There are only a few that I can actually stand. I guess I am a reality brat. And the advances in technology and medicine are amazing. It makes it possible for so many people to live normal lives. People who before wouldn’t have.
I can’t believe the before and after. Poor kid! And I have watched Scott Baio is 46 and pregnant… it should have been “Scott Baio is 46 and having a vasectomy”. He shouldn’t have children!
