A "Friend" Of My Mom

This is something I really want to tell about because I have been holding it in for a long time and I think it would be good to get it off my chest now. So, my mom has this friend that sometimes makes fun of my mom for dancing. I'm gonna call this friend Sadie because I cannot say her real name because I am afraid it will invade her privacy. But she is my mom's best friend. So my mom joined this dance class and my mom is on facebook too. So she made fun of her over the phone. She kept laughing over the phone because when she told her that she was taking dance class. And then Mom disinvited her to her dance recital and Sadie said she is coming anyway! And then, over facebook, I don't know WHY, but she sent her a video of Storm Troopers doing ballet. I think it was very mean of a so-called best friend to send her that and insult her like that. Friends wouldn't do that. Now, I love Sadie, but it made me feel really frustrated that someone would insult my mom. Not just because she is my mom, but I would get frustrated with anyone who insulted anyone over the phone like that. And I think my mom doesn't deserve that because she has enough to deal with, and now she has to be discouraged because of someone making fun of her for being in dance class! And to top it all off, my mom was already discouraged about it, so that made it even worse, adding a little topping to everything!
I came to see her dance myself and she was great, so I don't know why Sadie makes fun of her, because you know, she's doing this to finish what she started because she used to dance for many years and she didn't make fun of her then, so why is she making fun of her now? I mean, it's probably because she didn't know her then, but still. What is the purpose?
She's coming for Christmas and I will have to have a few words with her before we celebrate Christmas.

Girl Problems SOLVED.

So you remember last week's blog, that girl problem with the girl? Well, I solved that problem in a way that is simple. It's not a date, because I'm only nine. And not only that, but my brother and her sister were there, and brothers and sisters don't come on dates. But I took her to see Narnia. I purposely chose that because I knew that was the movie she wanted to see most. I paid for the movie and the snacks. And it was a great movie. The best part was, she didn't even say thank you to my DAD. She said, "Thank you, CONNOR." So she knew that it was ME treating her to a movie. I was originally worried that her Dad was going to be angry because I was rude to her by accident a few weeks ago, but apparently she tells me that she has boyfriends and her Dad is used to it. And she's not even my girlfriend anyway, so why should he be mad at me.

I think that I'll win her someday, even if she does have a boyfriend now. If I keep doing nice things for her, I'll prove that I am really the right person for her. I don't mean to brag, but I really think that someday, when I'm grown enough to have a girlfriend, I would make the best boyfriend for her. I know that I will always appreciate that she is a very special person and I will always remind her that she is smarter and much prettier than any other girl.

Girl Problems

Hi, it's me, Connor, and I'm going to talk about girl problems.

This takes place down the street. Me, my friends and Rory were at my friend's house. And then I saw her, this girl I've had a crush on ever since I've met her over two years ago. Anyway, so we were all going to where I lived. That's where I went wrong. She couldn't go to where we were going, and I left her. She's not from my neighborhood, and she doesn't get to see me a lot, so I really went wrong by choosing my friends when I knew that she wouldn't be allowed to walk back with us. I tried to get them to go back with me, but they wouldn't listen. They were too caught up in playing Star Wars. And one of my friend's moms said we had to stay together. That gets a little tricky because that mom is the mom of another girl, a friend, and that friend likes me.
Anyway, back to the girl I like, she is my friend and when I am old enough to have a girlfriend, I hope she will be my girlfriend. Dad said I made a huge mistake for choosing my other friends over her. So now this weekend my Dad is going to ask her Dad if she can come with us to the movies, and then I can apologize to her then.

Dancing With The Stars

I don't think that Bristol really lost. I think she did great and made it to the final episode, which is very competitive. So I don't consider that she LOST. I just think she did great.

I think that Lacey looks better without her makeup, seriously. She always has this face mask of makeup that is kind of freaky. It makes her look so good that it's not even good anymore. You know what I mean? It makes her look fake. I saw her without the makeup in the parts where they were practicing. I think she looks much prettier without makeup. It shows off her eyes more when she doesn't have makeup on.

I want to go back a few weeks to say something. Actually two things about Kyle. The first thing is that Lacey said to Kyle, she was trying to get him to lose a little weight, and she was like, "Did you have a burger today?" And he was like, "No," but then he whispered to the camera, "I had two burgers." That was good comedy. And the second thing was, even though he was stopping eating like that, he was still a little chubby so he ended up drawing his abs on his belly, and I thought that showed that he could laugh at himself and make a joke.

I can't even discuss what the situation did, because it's so rude. But anyway, earlier they did this time machine and they put it back on the stage and he took his shirt off for the first time. I know it's an act, but the song's words just ticked me off because kids watch that show and it was just rude.

While we are on the subject of rude things, I would like to tell you something else rude also. Mrs. Brady showed her bra. I don't think that's good for an old woman to be doing.

This girl who is the mother of my friends Samuel and John Paul, the winner of DWTS really reminds me of her. Their mom has a little more puff in her hair, and Jennifer has more wavy hair. But they're more or less the same. And they are both Moms. And they are both very pretty. But the thing that separates their personalities is that Jennifer is a drama queen and Mrs. Ochocki is a much more calm person.

I like the concept of Rick and Kurt doing a dance-off because they are two sportsmen and it was a really cool video where they were saying, "I'm the better sports player and I'm the better dancer" and then they met up in the middle of the ballroom and had a dance-off and they both weren't good, but still, it was a cool concept.

I thought the Copa Cabana was ridiculous. They got the most horrible dancers in the game, they danced together, the costumes were bad, and I just think it was ridiculous.

This is a message to all that think Bristol is just in it because of her Mom. It's not just that. She is very talented and that is the reason why she was in the finale. I think that she was very competitive, and I think the judges purposely tried to take her off by giving her one point less and making her lose. I think that Jennifer may be a better dancer, but I think that Bristol has gone way farther because Jennifer is a natural dancer because she was in a movie that included dancing, so she started dancing a long time ago. So Bristol came farther because she actually had to learn a lot of stuff. And I think she should get credit for that.


Guest Blogger Mom by Colleen Elio

I would like to state my own opinions on DWTS. I asked if I could be a guest blogger since my blog is generally not in the reality TV milieu. I took some notes last night because I was incredibly excited to strong arm my way into Connor letting me blog be invited to blog my thoughts on last night's finale. Unfortunately, my notes were not really fleshed out with details, and my 30 year old mind is not what it was ten years ago, so I am left with some curious phrases on a piece of paper:
"Judging Juggernaut = Me"
"Fat-Haters on DWTS"
"Stop Whining"
I do not know what any of these mean, and therefore have no idea what I intended to say.
There were several others that I DO remember, but the thought police Connor felt that any opinions I expressed, had to align with his own if I were to use his little corner of the blogosphere as my platform and I am rolling my eyes totally respect that.

So I'll just say that Kyle and Bristol are awesome, and their partners are awesome, and Derek is awesome, and watching DWTS with Connor has been a really great experience for both of us. That's all I can say within the confines of what I'm contractually permitted to reveal. I'm headed back to my own blog, where I never have to use the strike-through option because I CAN SAY WHATEVER I WANT.

An Introduction of Me.

I'm Connor. I'm nine. I have five siblings.

I intend to tell you about my life and my opinions. I have a lot of opinions and I will tell you all about them.

I am a calm and peaceful person. I dislike fast roller coasters and conflict. I like rock music, specifically Rush and Coheed and Cambria. I am working on a CD that was supposed to be released a while ago but it was held up by the pregnancy of my mom, because I had to study up to deliver the baby. And now I'm very busy, so I'm not totally sure when the new release date is. But my Dad loves the newest song.

All that are reading this blog, I'm very grateful that you are reading. It is very nice of you to read my blog. Thank you.

This was an introduction of me. I like to blog about reality TV. Tomorrow I will blog about Dancing With The Stars. P.S. Go Bristol!
