Why Does He Have To Leave?

October 29th, 2008 the fabulous David Tennant announced to the world that he will be retiring the part of the Doctor on the hit show Doctor Who. If you have no idea what i'm talking about then fuck off, but if you do then continue reading. Yes we will no longer be seeing the 10th Doctor in his pinstripe suit and converse wielding his sonic screwdriver about whilst wearing the brainy specs.

David Tennant made this announcement as part of his acceptance speech at the National Television Awards. He stated that after the '09 specials, he will no longer play the Doctor. This has come to most as a shock and disappointment. I for one knew that his days were numbered as the Doctor, but I never expected that '09 would be his last.

The very first episode I ever saw of Doctor Who was the last 20 minutes or so of the Satan Pit episode. I was flipping through the channels and i suddenly landed on the SciFi channel. It was there that I caught the bit where he was talking to the Devil and was trying to figure out who the devil was and what he believed in. I thought that was the most amazing thing i ever saw, so i tried to remember to watch every week, but that plan never followed through. I would catch the little marathons SciFi would have, (back then they had Doctor Who marathons on Saturday mornings), but it would be the 9th Doctor. So the 9th Doctor was my first official Doctor, but the one i loved most and saw for the very first time was the 10th.

When I first heard the news about David's departure, i was extremely sad and quite nearly to tears. But it has to be said, he had a great run and it was all a matter of time before he did leave. However i really wish he would have done at least one more season.

Not only is the good doctor leaving us, but Russell T. Davies (who is responsible for bringing Doctor Who back), Julie Gardener (one of the original producers) and as i heard it Murray Gold (the man responsible for recreating the theme tune and composes all the music heard on Doctor Who). Don't know if that last one is true or not, so if someone would like to educate me, please do. It seems like its going to be an all new show as of 2010.

All i can say is good luck to David Tennant in all the new projects he will be doing! I will definitely stay tuned to his work as well as the new Doctor, even if my favourite one is getting replaced.

*Love you always 10th Doctor, my Doctor*

OMFG What Am I Going To Do!!!!!!!!

My god it has been hell around my house. Let me just list some of the things that have upsetted the balance of the house.

-my brother is getting a divorce
-he has kids with the bitch he's divorcing
-my brother lives at home w/me & my parents
-the kids are 2, 5, & 7 (i think)
-money is in short supply
-my dad hates kids (why he had me and my brother, i'll never know)
-the ex is dating someone extremely older than her
-the old man moved into the house w/her AND the kids
-brother becomes frustrated and downright pissed off that some stranger is around his kids(They are still married)
-she met this guy on the internet*
-my dad gets frustrated at my brother and wants him to leave the house
-my poor mom and i are stuck in the middle of things
-for some odd reason i'm the only one my brother is talking too
-i have my own freakin' problems(i'll definitely dedicate a blog just for that)
-i'm being taught how to fight and defend myself
-feels like war is about to break out amongst my family and the bitch's family
-war is also about to break out amongst the family itself

And that's just the few problems that come to mind about the whole situation. Oh it's been absolutely chipper here at my house. This is the longest i've been calm at home in a while(this very moment). The reason for this, no one is home.

*p.s.
the whole internet thing...i'm not saying everyone you meet online is bad its just she met him on the interweb and all of a sudden he moves in...just kind of strange and scary since there are kids involved
