Life Lessons from the Bluths

A tragedy happened very recently. The arborist came to my house and cut down a bunch of trees and also happened to take out the cable to our internet in the process. As a result, I've been unable to blog for a while! See what I mean? Tragedy. But look who's back!! This girl. It's been actually pretty nice not having internet for a while though. I've been able to read more and I've had to actually get all my work done on campus before I go home which makes me get things done quicker rather than procrastinating everything. I've also been able to spend lots more time watching my Arrested Development DVDs. Which brings me to today's blogging topic. You know that perfect family you see walking on the streets and you think to yourself "Wow...I hope one day my family is as perfect as that one is." Yep. That's definitely not the Bluth family. BUT that doesn't mean they don't make wonderful examples. I've actually learned a lot of important life lessons from them, and I'd like to pass them along. Think of it as an early Christmas present. You're welcome!

#1: Think before you speak. Tobias so kindly teaches us this important lesson every time he opens his mouth. Please don't ever use any of the following wordings. Please.

#2: Sometimes you should listen when someone says your idea stinks. Constructive criticism is there for a purpose kids. Take it from George on this one. Sometimes ideas like installing a hot tub in the attic and cooking food in it realllly should not be acted on. Take that into mind the next time someone tries to kindly tell you that maybe you should rethink things. It could be the difference between severe dehydration and an actually good idea. (Youtube is lame and doesn't have a clip of it, so if you want to see George learning his lesson feel free to follow the link. http://www.hulu.com/watch/2008 )

#3: Perfectly timed songs can touch hearts when simple words can't. 

#4: It's ok if you find quirks about the people you love endearing, just don't expect everyone to agree with you. Although a mayon-egg does sound pretty cute. 

#5: If at first your magic trick fails, cover it up with something else that might be impressive. If that fails too, maybe a bit of practice is needed. 

And finally #6: Family comes first. Followed closely by breakfast.
