WE WERE ON A BREAK!

No television series would be complete without a romance that we as viewers could follow and gossip about every week. "Friends" gave a America Ross and Rachel who we always routed for to get together in the end. Before they eventually got together in the second season, we watched Ross hopelessly obsess  over Rachel while she had no interest in him until he decided to move on. Then after Ross went on a business trip to China he met his new girlfriend Julie. Now with Ross having a girlfriend it became hard for Rachel to come out with her true love for Ross. After a few months of torture for both Rachel and Ross they confess their love for each other and become a couple.

Fast forwarding to season 3, they are a happy couple, how most couples seem to be at the beginning of a relationship. Rachel discovers a job in fashion with the help of an attractive man named Mark, she quickly accepts because this was her dream profession and detested working at the coffee house. Ross is not very fond of the way that a strange man just spontaneously gave her a job, and his suspicion begins about Mark and Rachel especially no that they will be working together. As time goes on with Rachel's new job she begins to have less and less time for Ross so for their upcoming anniversary Ross decides to surprise Rachel at work...She is extremely busy and doesn't have time for romance and shews him away. When she arrives home they begin to fight and Rachel irrationally yells "Maybe we should just take a break!, a break form us"...

America's Joey

    The television series "Friends" sparked all of America with laughter, lasting 10 seasons long. What's been discovered about the show is that all six characters, Chandler, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Monica, and Joey are that they are perceiving what is called "White America". The writer is basically generalizing that there is six types of people in "White America", three kinds of women and men. The writer has put them into television characters and a comical script to make white people ranging from 27-35 feel better about there lives or even look to that particular show for answers. That is precisely what "White America" has done, and has made the show a hit sensation, still airing on television earning each character one million dollars an episode.

      This blog is devoted to "Joey Tribbiani" a character in the show played by Matt Leblanc. Joey was given the societal role of the good looking idiot, his talents were soap acting and getting almost any woman he desired. He depicted most white women's dream man, Italian, good looking, and knew exactly what to say. Anyone familiar with the show knew his effective pick-up line and catch phrase, "How you doin'?". In most of the episodes he shows very little real emotion for women, not like Ross who wore his emotions on his sleeve. The writer only gives Joey real emotion for women about twice in the whole series and that's what makes him Joey. He also gives the the impression that the societal Joey cannot be be handsome and intelligent as if the two do not go hand and hand. In season 10 episode 13 Joey decides to learn french for an important acting part he wanted, so he decides to have Phoebe help him. Phoebe desperately trying to help tells him to repeat simple phrases such as "je m'appelle Claude", Joey repeats the phrase saying complete non-sense not even close to what she was saying. The episode left America in tears laughing but the message is repeating that you cannot be handsome and also be smart, and this societal man is presented though "Joey Tribbiani".
