TO BE OR NOT TO BE -REALITY
TO BE OR NOT TO BE -REALITY
I looked up the definition of REALITY and here it is:
re·al·i·ty
1. The quality or state of being actual or true.
2. One, such as a person, an entity, or an event, that is actual:
3. The totality of all things possessing actuality, existence, or essence.
4. That which exists objectively and in fact:
Relating to or being a genre of television or film in which a storyline is created by editing footage of people interacting or competing with one another in unscripted, unrehearsed situations.
Bull shit !!~!~ There is no reality in reality TV. The Producers set the theme! They look for HYPE – SCANDEL and any other nonsense that will draw us in or create Hoopla so more will watch.
Which brings me to MTV’s reality show called: JERSEY SHORE!
O M G – Now this is a train wreck with High Hair and lots O gel.
The Italian American Organizations are so pissed off.
I am 1st generation Italian and I am an Entertainer. As you know I am the producer & headliner of THE ITALIAN CHICKS, an all female comedy/variety show. There is a way to do and say things whereby you can still maintain some integrity. MINGA!!! ☺
So I did watch the show the other night? I could not make it thru the entire episode as I thought I was gonna stick a fork in my eye!! Jeezzzzzzz…..Then I watch it again this week – whose doin who, whose tan is better, whose hair is higher, who got drunk, whose getting some. But hey, I disliked Real World and I dont know if anyone was Italian on that?
I don’t now who these kids think they are emulating because the talent is elusive and the muscles and hair product and fake boobs and De-da gurls are all a mess…
But cha know what? I got news for ya – even Polish kids act like that!!!!
If you think this show is bad! This makes Growing up Gotti look like Masterpiece Theatre..
But really now, who else are these Mooks gonna emulate?
We have amazing Italian American writers and directors, like Martin Martin Scorsese and Mario Puzio. They created classics like The Godfather, Goodfella’s, Casino. Movies that folks watch over and over again.
We also have Michelangelo and Pavoratti! But ya think these kids are gona emulate those guys? NO!
I can understand the slight that certain Organizations are feeling but enough – Basta!!!
Show the movie with Charlton Heston portraying Michelangelo and see if da kids down the shore wanna dress like him?
Or maybe they wanna dress up like Pavoratti? I think not!
As you say “Snookie” –“ these Italian American or what eva you call them” are saying that because you are all acting like Mook’s & Putana’s. And yes, maybe the club scene has changed since they were young and they feel, “ is this what people will think we are”?
If ya think the show is ridicules – Hey don’t watch it!!
Come on now this has all become our reality?
We got Da NJ Housewives! Beverly Hills Housewives and many otha state’s Housewives.
Mob Wives!
I really hope you all don’t think this shit is real?
They all hang out with each other and eat meatballs and shit while da money is being direct deposited. Cha- Ching !! But really now does Caroline Manzo really need more money?
I received an email from NIAF – National Italian American Foundation and the subject read –
Italian Americans are Under Attack!
WHAT!!! W H A T ~ ~ Are you kidding me? Look, I think all these Italian American Organizations do some wonderful fundraising and great things for community. I can understand that they are dismayed at the stereotypical references but did you ever hear of a little thing called a SATIRE?
I mean really now, not all of us were born with a silver spoon in our mouths and only a few of us have placed the stick so far up, ya know!
My Father was born in Reggio, Calabria and he was not a Gansta!
But at some point we have to realize the difference between fact and fiction. We have to know that a movie also exaggerates the point for dramatic and artistic purposes.
Tony Soprano was NOT REAL!
So what is real! Yes we do have organized crime –FACT!!
We do have crime Bosses – FACT!
Most of these folks are Italian – FACT!
Did you ever walk down any street in NY and not see these kinds of characters?
Yes you have! Some of them are not even Italian, they are NEW YAWKERS !!!!
Or what they call Italophiles.
What is an Italophile you ask? Someone whom is not Italian but loves the culture or a wanna be.
Look it would be lovely if the world emulated all the amazing Italians that gave us concerto’s ,song , art, sculpture and there are some very talented folks out there doing just that. So BUY their work, will ya.
But with all due respect, I think you all should lie back on these biting attempts to quell everything. Here is what Italian American Assocation’s are doing:
• ASKING ALL SPONSORS TO PULL THERE PROMO’S
• ASKING FOR BOYCOTTS
• ASKING FOR CANELATIONS
HUMMMMMMM, sure sounds like a threat to me? Be careful, the zepolie does not fall far from the pot!! Before you know it you will be sounding like all the shows you hate.
And the last thing you want is to get that Al Sharpton reputation?
So as the saying goes, “why cant we all just get along”!
Do I hate the Jersey Shore show, YES!
Why?
Not because they make Italian’s look like Mook’s but because the show SUCKS!! Simple !
Did I hate the Soprano’s, NO? Because it was a fiction based drama!
Now, the reality show - ( Kate plus 8 ) if she was Italian would that be an issues too? Because I hated that show…
Così siamo tutti parte di una famiglia. Alcuni sono buoni, altri sono cattivi e alcuni sono pazzi!
Dobbiamo sostenere tutti gli americani decente italiana.
La criminalità organizzata è stato qui per sempre non possiamo fermare o cambiare, è come il governo.
Vivi e lascia vivere e and Viva Italia!
Translation: So we all belong to a family. Some are good some are bad and some are crazy!
We should support all decent Italian Americans.
Organized crime has been here forever we can’t stop it or change it, it's like the Government.
Live and let live and Viva Italia.
Now go home and get your Shine Box !!!

Boom Boom review's last week's Mob Wives show
Tuesday, December 27, 2011
THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS GAS!
So, Holidays are over!
Bur fear not, in like 340 days we will be back in da swing…
It’s sad in a way because I do love this time of year. It just seems that everyone is warm, loving, giving and heartfelt. So now, back to reality!! Unless of course you are in a relationship, which means you have to be on good behavior until Valentines Day…
So I am sitting here looking at my tree all wrapped up in its, Condom – I mean tree bag getting ready to be tossed in the field of dreams, GARBAGE.
All the ornaments and special effects have been placed in their boxes until next year. Except for one… Did ya ever notice that there is always one thing that is left out? You usually notice it the next morning in the light of day…No effort is made to remove the boxes and place it where it belongs, you just toss it on top and hope you don’t see it…
But all and all this was a great Holiday…
Christmas eve at Mom’s went off without a hitch. No drama and no fights. Until I tasted the stuffed mushrooms and I knew Mom did not make um but my Brother did.. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.. He thinks he’s Emeril..
The bad thing about this time of year is the inevitable OVER EATING…. Mother of GOD!!!
Today is my first day of fast until like March….
For me once I get started there is no stopping. It’s like a junkie with a sugar fix..
Then all the rich foods that your stomach is not used to and then you find your tummy doing the tarantella.
Which brings me to one of my sister’s. Since we were kids she always had this knack of getting out of doing the dishes! Why? Well her excuse was she was always constipated? It was then like a Christmas miracle that after the meal, when we were all ready to clean up, she would bellow – OMG, I have to go!
Ahhh, The Holy Bowel Movement…
As soon as the kitchen was clean she would appear and say, Nah – false alarm..
Yea right! I got so hip to her shit… Pun intended….
But this year she had incentive!
Her new boyfriend….
I never saw her move so fast?
We were still all lingering at the table and it took quite a while until we realized she was missing? And then we heard the water running and the pots & pans jumpin like hot sauce on calamari.
We all looked in amazement but said not a word! We didn’t want to break her concentration!!
Until my niece walked into the kitchen and said - O M G !!!
What we all shouted?
Don’t go in there!
Why?
Trust me, just don’t!
Now you never tell an Italian, “don’t look in this closet!” So we all marched in and collectively yelled.. O M G !!!!
There she was all busy and moving, because why? Let’s not for get the incentive? THE CHRISTMAS BANG, that awaited her.
So there was my busy sister, still constipated but wading in FLATULENCE!!! YES YOU HEARD ME!! I think she even managed to formulate the notes Silent Night threw her Ass.
Then the Sound of Music and no, we are not the Van Trapp Family, just musically talented in many ways.
Ahhh Da Family !!!!
So I have two Sister’s and to protect her new relationship I will not divulge which sister is was, however you can guess if ya want.
So, if ya want someone to move – get them to over eat foods rich in fat, oil and sugar and you too will hear the Ghost of Christmas Gas!!

MERRY EVERYTHING !!!!
'Tis the season to be Jolly! Well, here we are again, that time of the year when Christmas spirit fills the air and takes control of our emotions.
It's a new day! This year was filled with so many wonderful, odd and strange happenings. 2011 has given us Earthquakes, Hurricanes, October snowstorms and Occupy Wall Street. We had things in our lives that gave us joy and losses that made us sad. The stock market is oscillating like a bad ceiling fan and Freddie Mack and Fannie May finally got divorced, but unfortunately their offspring is still hitting our housing market. Good people are losing their homes, jobs are scarce and times are truly hard. And now I have to deal with the Holidays? Yes, it’s called Life and you deal with it and learn and cry and laugh and love. These are the times that make your spirit move, even if you get pissed about it, at least it’s still some kind of action!! Further more I am so over this political correctness shit. Look in my world we called it CHRISTMAS !! I am not doing the Happy Holiday thing ~ I love all people and respect what ever it is that moves ya but don’t mess with my CHRISTMAS TREE!!!
If you eliminate the stress of your own economic blues like, no money, shopping, extra bills, office holiday protocol and just dream of those sugarplums dancing in your head you can really feel it. It's all about you're attitude and being open to let the power of being positive surround you.
Things seem more tolerable at this time of the year. You get to see family and friends. You even break down and buy something for that one person at the office that is truly annoying, unless she/he has been laid off. Hummmmmmmm.
So back to the spirit of it all. Yes, the spirit can be very powerful! The spirit and inspiration of the season can truly lift you. Just look into children's eyes when they see a Christmas tree or Santa for the second time. Think of the sound of the Salvation Army bells. At times they might appear to sound annoying but to me they sound like the bells of Notre Dame. Those bells break my heart for those less fortunate and yet they make me feel like I'm blessed. Think of waking up with your Lover, your Partner, and your Friend! Which by the way all should be the same person. Just in case some of you had more than just sugarplums dancing in your head.
Think of the magic associated with the Holiday. Even though the Holiday season has been commercialized to support the growth of our economy there is still magic and spirit left.
You gotta believe! OK, granted I stopped believing in Santa at least 5 years ago. But I still do believe in the goodness of people and the love of friends and family. That good intentions bring good things. That karma can bite you in the ass! Believing that the Love of your Life is out there! Oh and yes, finding that Love, and the magic that happens when you look at each other.
I believe that it all matters and that it all counts. I believe that George Bailey might have been given an angel but it was his spirit that blossomed and gave him the momentum to realize that Life matters. And that the people we touch at times can be truly touched, just by the mere jester of a random act of kindness.
I believe that risk can be a walk in the park if you feel supported and loved and inspired and all you need to do is imagine your dreams happening and they will! But you must continue to have that imagery everyday as to manifest it. If you believe, you’re dreams will happen.
I'm sure there will be some Scrooges in your life who will say, “ Oh please!" And what if this doesn't happen? Or that? Then what!! And what about retirement? You need to stop being Peter Pan and grow up! Thank goodness for those Scrooges!!!
Because one thing is for sure, you know what you never what to grow up to be, a Scrooge!
The world does indeed need balance. We need those left of center type artistic folks that think and live the Bohemian way and continue to dream and create. We need the Scrooge type centered folks so that when we artist types finally make some money we know who to give it to for investments.
The unfortunate thing about Christmas Spirit is that it's seasonal and that's what sad. If we could just hold on to the feeling of magic and save some snowflakes for the rest of the year we might still feel joy all year long. Do we really need a tree and lights and Dasher and Dancer to feel that! Hey Snow Happens! And hence, the Spirit starts to dwindle and before you know it, it's just another manic Monday.
So find a way to surround yourself with positive people and good friends. Throw your arms around the person you love and thank the heavens that you have found them. Oh yes, and by the way, let them know it every day!
At times even your dysfunctional family can be soothing. Hummmmmm, did I say that? Well, maybe not soothing, perhaps just a tad amount of comfort when you look at them and thank God that you turned out differently! However I still look forward to the traditions! Like bobbing for anti-depressants- taking bets on who will leave early on Christmas Eve and who will show up late! And my favorite- the eating of the Cannoli wreath.
Remember, you can make money but you cannot make time! So make sure you think about how your time is spent and not your how you spend your money! Remember how nice it is to lean over and say “good night my Love”! Think about how good it feels to be happy! And if you have found your soul mate, thank God everyday and if you have not, remember that they will be arriving shortly.
And for those who are miserable or self absorbed or stuck in the patterns of life that denote poor form. Feel bad for them but don't invite them over. Keep them at bay and do not feed the drama. A friend once told me, “LIVE LARGE MY FRIEND” because no one on their deathbed ever wished they had more money, just more time.
Keep that Spirit alive. Find your happy thought.
As a matter of fact for those of you who are reading this. I can close my eyes and think of at least one thing that you have either said or done that has make me smile.
George Baily said,”everytime a you hear a bell ring an Angel gets
Calamari- or something like that….
So with that said Happy Holidays! Let it Snow! May your days be Merry and Bright! Have your self a Merry Little Christmas and keep the Yuletide Gay! (whoop whoop) May the Spirit of Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, (did I get them all?) be in your day, today and for all of your days.
Merry Everything

Occupy This !!
OCCUPY THIS ~~ !
This is not a rant for Republicans or Democrats but rather for We The People.
This will not apply to some of you that have been blessed or fortunate to have not been effected by the down ward spiral of this economy.
This will apply to the hard working middle class that indeed built this country. The people that get up every morning and do the right thang.
The people that have poured what’s left of their life savings into an entrepreneurial venture or a Mom & Pop store.
You know you are! Me, You, Us !!
Us, the ones with guts that don’t have a trust fund. At this point all we may have left is the will, the dream and the drive.
At first when Occupy Wall Street hit the media, I got kinda excited. I thought WOWOW, I real hippie type movement. The shit I saw on TV when I was a kid – Make Love – Not War. By the way the theory still applies today.
But then shit happened. It got all muddied with BS and no real message. Or no real someone leading the brigade.
However the concept has merit! Government gone Wild ~ think of it. Anthony Weiner ( dat Rat Bastid ) was tossed out on his ass and he still gets a congressional pension and health care for life for his congressional penis.
OMG ! Did any of you get that when you got laid off? Nooooooooo , only the ones who jerk off do..!!
Do we realize how much money we could put back into the system or programs rather than pay these fools.
The lobbyists, the Big Corporations and the BIG ASS BANKS. They run this country.. It’s like Da Mob going for their weekly payoff and we pay the Vig.
The new thang that has sprung outta this Occupy shit is a grass roots movement to pull out of Big Banks and go to Credit Unions or small local banks. Ya know, the ones that have been on your corner for years. The conservative ones that will remain and not be eatin up by merger and acquisition land.
Bank of America imposed a $5.00 monthly fee to use your debit card? WHAT?
Once we the people heard that shit the cards and letters went flyin and B of A lost 100 accounts per day. Then they said SHIT – Ok, send a letter and email and say sorry, we take it back. Hhahahahahaah. To late Mooks.
The people pulled their accounts and went to Credit Unions and small local banks. This has no become the new movement and is giving all Da BIG BANKS a bowel movement.
WAY TO GO !!! This has been happening daily all over the country.
You can even find this on Facebook…
So here’s a message to local Banks. Talk your CEO into increasing the marketing budget and get your Asses out there now. Oh and yeah- once you see the balances growin don’t get all frigging greedy.
I was in the banking industry for 15 years in the capacity of VP Sales so I know what I’m tawkin about. I used to work for one bank whose slogan was,“Big enough to service, small enough to care!”
I told them it sounded like a bad porno flick!~ Did they listen? Noooooo. Hence they no longer exist.
So rather than sleep in a park and bang the drum slowly. Do something proactive like pulling your money outta these rat holes and occupy a better attitude about how WE THE PEOPLE deserve to be heard.
DON’T MAKE ME GET DA SHINE BOX..~~~
