The Fosters

I am now onto a new show called The Fosters. It is about a new "family" coming together under one roof. The moms are lesbians with one having one biological son of her own whom lives with them along with the adopted 15 year old twins and the newest "members," Jude and Cali. The reason I hesitate to call them members of the family is because as of right now it is a temporary situation, and although they are starting to really feel like apart of the family, it may not be their family much longer.

Brandon, the biological son, has fallen for Cali but it is against the rules to be in a relationship with foster siblings, which causes a dilemma. Cali has not come out and said she feels the same way, but you can tell that she does. Well that, and the fact that pretty much every TV show follows the same plot which I think is a very good one. :) So the "moral" of this blog I would say is just another recommendation for a TV show on Netflix because that is where all the entertainment is!

I don't want to give anything away in this series but I have to tell you something in order for you to get your butt up and watch this! Most people probably won't really be able to relate to it, well no one I know of anyway because I do not know any Foster children! But, I know if I did they would probably be very interested in it!

It talks about family, friends, boyfriends, danger, consequences, sex, all of the things that in some weird twisted way seem to always grab people's attention. There is really never a dull moment in the Foster's house hold which always seems to be wanting us to see more and more. The best thing I like about watching this particular show on Netflix is that there are no commercials so I don't have to wait to see what is next, and I can just go on to the next episode and not sit around all week wondering what is going to happen.

If you ever have free time or are feeling sorry for yourself, The Foster's is a great way to go about your time and along the way you will stop feeling sorry for yourself, even though this is not based on a real life story, something along the lines like it is happening out there and you will come to see just how lucky you are to have a real home and true family and friends that love you and would do anything for you.

The Great Netflix

I know that some people have issues loading Netflix on their TV's at home like my friends Rylee and occasionally Jake, but for the most part it works very smooth and well. For me, I watch it on my NOOK which requires Wi-Fi and that always helps things go faster! I have not ever had an issue with it loading fast or pausing what-so-ever. I personally enjoy watching it my NOOK better because I feel like time goes faster and I can get through more episodes, whereas on my TV it goes a little slower because of router and connection issues.

I am not saying it doesn't have any glitches though because everything does! My friend Rylee's is probably the worst I have ever seen it be, and it may be because she doesn't get the best reception where she lives or it could be just an issue with the company itself but I wouldn't say they have bad quality. You can get it anywhere in the house if you want and you only have to pay one  9nine dollar fee per month allowing access to four different devices on your account!

From what I have heard about the whole music on Netflix, that quality is not as good as watching shows or movies on it. I mean, I have a phone that I can get music on so that isn't really a big deal for me but if you want something a little different then maybe look into it but know that it may not be exactly what you are looking for. I think that music on there is a good idea, but I also think that in the name of convenience Youtube or your phone are much simpler options.

So really, Netflix has it all, from movie classics to hit new series exclusively found on here, you cant go wrong with a visit to the good ol'Netflix.

'Netflix and Chill' What's The Hype?

       Nowadays all you see in referring to Netflix on social media is 'Netflix and chill', but really what is Netflix and chill?  Most people would define this phrase as a invitation to 'get some' but really can't we literally just Netflix and Chill. When the more derogatory meaning of the word is used, the kooky kids think it's an excuse to 'watch movies' and have the lights off, when in reality my friends and I, boys and girls take a more literal use of the phrase and watch Netflix while in fact chilling. I think me personally there isn't anything wrong with either version, but it has come to a point in which you cant even use the phrase in the literal sense because of how big the derogatory version has gotten via social media.
       Let's talk about what each of these meanings entail. 'Netflix and chill' the sexual invitation, involves two people going to 'watch' Netflix and 'hang out', but I think the only thing that will being watched or hanging out are...well, I leave your mind to figure out the rest. But in no way does it actually involve either of the associated parties watching Netflix and chilling, at all.
       On the other hand, the very literal sense of Netflix and chill are quite enjoyable as well. Netflix can be streaming and doing its thing while you can sit back and relax with friends or whomever and chill. This take on the phrase is less stress, and allows you to watch, even binge on some series or movies you've been dying to see, but sadly haven't had the time. Doesn't that sound nice?
       Now that you are fully informed and up to date on the latest social media catch phrases, don't you wish you could 'Netflix and chill', either literally or figuratively? I think although this phrase has gotten slightly out of hand with videos and snap chats no one ever wanted to see, it is amusing and still literally entertaining to a majority of the population. As much as I love to put in action this phrase, whichever version you choose is very time consuming. Quite frankly I would rather sleep, or nap, which is basically the same thing but like really I just don't like people, and have no time for their bullshit. So if you were presented the opportunity to 'Netflix and Chill', would you take it, or not?

Random Food for Thought

       Up to this point in my 17 years I've been told that doing the right thing will get you where you want. By not going out will get you somehow get you ahead, makes you a bigger even better person, as this concept is being shoved down my throat I, at my young age, can't help but wish that I wasn't so conformed to this ideal. You wonder what you're missing in the midst of your movie marathon meanwhile your peers are 'living it up', maybe not doing the best of all things, but maybe they're out on a late night Perkin's run without you, but by no means have they been grounded to such outdated logic. I sit and wonder all the things I miss, things I don't get to be exposed to, I've realized that while getting ahead seems easier, I'm not just missing some high school party or a hang out with friends. What I'm missing is exposure to laughter, and carelessness of reckless teens who learn their lesson the next morning or in twenty minutes as they lye on the bathroom floor throwing up for what seems like hours, I'm missing out on stories and memories. I often wonder what I'm missing, wishing that I could be able to make plans, or ask to join, but then I realize ima coward and cannot so lul. You miss socializing, you miss an opportunity to put yourself out there and meet new people, and love, you miss a chance to love and to learn what it is because it's different for everyone. Who says I don't know what it is because I'm only in high school and it's not going to matter, well you don't get to decide that I do, because I don't want to sit on the sides, I want to experience life, and learn new things, I want to love carelessly with new friends and old,& most importantly I want to be a person who makes their own decisions. I don't want to be someone who gets walked on by other people, and not that you have to party or drink/do drugs to have a back bone, I just want to be able to put myself out there without regretting it. I wish understanding yourself was easier, but it's not, but if the way I see it, if I know now what my weakness is, then there is only room to grow.

How to Save a Life

"How To Save A Life", by The Fray is one of the more iconic songs from Grey's Anatomy, and for obvious reasons is relatable to the show, but also has a really good message.


Step one, you say, "We need to talk."
He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you

And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

How to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

How to save a life

Grey's Anatomy

       Oh the wonders of Dr. Meredith Grey and her residency adventures, where do I begin. I'm going to create a list of reasons Grey's is the best show on Netflix, and other miscellaneous things that make the show worth watching no matter how frustrating.
  • Derek Shepherd-'nuff said.
  • Mark Sloan-also 'nuff said.
  • The Dragon lady who gave Alex money to bring the kids over from Africa.
  • Meredith is a surgeon to be who also happens to have the boys falling over her, which I don't know how that can be a bad thing.
  • It makes snow days even better than they already are.
  • Ellis Grey dies, sounds horrible but she's a bitch, lets be serious.
  • Zola aka the cutest kid that belongs to the cutest couple.
  • Addison Montgomery and her sleazy relationship with her husband (at the time) Derek, and Mark, Derek's best friend, what a hoe.
  • Blood and guts.
  • Meredith almost got blown up by a bomb.
  • Meredith put her hand inside a person that had the bomb inside of them.
  • Alex likes babies.
  • Dr. Bailey hates Izzy and so do I, she's crazy.
  • Derek hates Addison.
  • Lexi and Meredith are sisters.
  • Christina and Meredith's friendship is goals.
  • Dr. Burke runs out of the church on his wedding day.
  • George has a crush on Meredith.
  • Izzy cut Deans heart machine aka the only thing keeping him alive.
  • Izzy is dumb.
  • Meredith and Derek are the best thing to ever happen to me.
       If this list of reasons to watch Grey's isn't convincing enough; Meredith slept with Derek which she didn't know would turn out to be her boss while she interns at Seattle Grace. She then finds out that Derek is married (but is he really) but walked out on his wife because he caught her cheating with his best friend Mark. They're all doctors, they're all hot and Derek Shepherd, need I say more.

If that's not enough just watch the first few seasons theme song/scene, can you say hospital hoe?

In conclusion. Grey's Anatomy is the best show, and best thing to ever happen, it has taught me heartbreak, and how to cut someone's chest open, Grey's for the win.

The answer is nothing because he is beautiful and everyone should watch Grey's. Thanks.
