Please Scan the Label!

It occurred to me via a @MochaLaTae tweet that we, as a society, feel compelled to label ourselves. Often other people kindly offer to do this job for us. Labels that are given freely to me are that of Mother, Wife, Woman, Friend, Daughter, Sister, Teacher. Where I think we get in trouble with labels is when we try to define them. Good Mother, Caring Wife, Old Woman, White Teacher. I honestly do not believe that the color of my skin proves or disproves anything. Our environment has more impact on how we choose to live our lives than the color of our skin. In my mind I see myself as a girl who has grown up to love the world, her family, her friends, and her job. I always try to see both sides of the argument and am always open for discussion. Do I see myself as the Queen or the servant? I see myself as both, every single day. I am the Queen of my own domain but I serve those I love and I consider it a gift. Just don't try to label me...

Chuck Closes Ranks Around Fans!

I am a huge fan of Chuck...you know the NBC TV show on Monday nights? I have watched from the very first episode, including reruns and specials. I actually plan my Monday activities around watching Chuck with my son. I own both season one and season two of Chuck. I have downloaded season three episodes from iTunes in order to watch from the road. I have the Chuck screensaver, wallpaper and icons. I also have several songs downloaded from the show and use two of them as ringtones.

I recently updated my account on Twitter to stay abreast of all the goings on in our world. I found this awesome cadre of Chuck fans that I started to follow. This is where it gets a bit tricky. I follow these fans but they ignore me like the plague. Only one fan, the best of the best, @LittleChuckFan even acknowledges my existence.

Last night a male fan queried @LittleChuckFan about a song on Chuck that goes like this...dung diki dung diki dung diki. I recognized it right away but I did not know the name of it. I asked my son to help me find the song. He did and it is Teddybears Cobrastyle. I shared this information with said male fan and he totally 100% ignored me. Why?

I believe it is because there is a secret code amongst Chuck fans...perhaps even an exclusive club, and "they" have decided I am simply not worthy. Yes, it hurts my feelings and yes, I will get over it...I'm just saying!

I am still a die-hard Chuck fan. I am not giving up now that I have come this far. Chuck fans you have ignored the wrong Chickie. My feathers are ruffled and my ego is bruised but I am a spy at heart. I will continue to follow you and you may continue to ignore me but I'm no hater...
