Enough with the wedding!!!!

I may be the only one who feels this way, but I could care less about this royal wedding stuff. why is it such an international event?

seriously, if president obama's daughters were old enough to get married, we'd hear about it, but it wouldn't be this big event. granted being president of the us is not the same as royalty, but its as close as we come to over here on this side of the pond.

either way, this is just ridiculous! i mean, we've been hearing about it nonstop since it was announced, and i would wager after its over, we'll still be hearing about it.

hell, i bet when they consummate the marriage, they'll have a special on that! thank goodness i'll be out of town for all this crap.

so, dear readers, tell me what your thoughts are about the media's oversaturation of this wedding hoopla. i'm curious to know what you feelings are.

Who does this guy think he is

As I'm sitting here flipping back and forth to the coverage of the Memorial for Michal Jackson, a friend of mine sent me a video from Congressman Peter King.

I refuse to post it here, but he basically says Michael did some singin' and dancin' and wonders what we are glorifying him for. Now, before the conservatives come flying at me, I better say that he does bring up some good points, such as firemen, solidoers and all not getting the respect they deserve and this MJ coverage has gone too far, but that's not that has my ire raised.

This guy seems to be stuck on the dark side of Michael's life. A part that, in all honesty, seems to only be brought up (and I hate to make this political) by conservatives.

Everyone has a dark side. Look at the recently murdered Steve McNair. He was the poster child for what an NFL qb should be, but his final days have been mired with stuff that you would never have thought him capable of.

Elvis, Marilyn, Mozart, JFK...the list goes on. Yes, they were great people, but they also had this dark side to them. Do we remember them for that, or their accomplishments?

MJ's resume and charity work dwarf his alleged crime. Is it so wrong to want to remember his life? No.

Now, I will say, I am getting a bit tired of all this coverage. I seriously think they're just making up stuff now. After today, they need put it to rest, unless something big happens like he rises out of the ground or something.

lol if he did that, then he better sing "Thriller" hahaha

A few things

I've got a few things on my mind that I just have to get out there.

First off, who is it that put it into the heads of the "stars" of MTVs The Hills that they are stars? I've watched a few episodes. It suks beyond all imagination. The idea that these idiots think they're stars and actually have talent befuddles me. Maybe one or two of them can hav a career as a supporting role in TV or movies, but none of them will be starring in anything anytime soon. Yet, they seem to think they're God's gift to Hollywood and that everyone should bow down to them when they walk down the carpet. Also, they think they can sing! I've never heard anything so wretched!!!!

People bitch too much! Gustav came through here last week, and people around here are pissed becuse the media was here during the hurricane and as soon as they found out the levees didn't break and there was no flooding, they hightailed it. It's not that big of a deal. Some wind damgae and the power being out is all that happened. New Orleans had much more devastation 3 yrs ago. However, I do feel the frustration of the pople around here, it's like they don't even acknowedge anything actually happened!

Enough with the music on people's blogs. One of the blogs that I normally drop on blogged about this as well, but I'm going to follow her lead and stop dropping if you have music that plays. It's annoying, especiall if I don't care for it. On top of that, if I can't find your card upon first glance, you can forget getting a drop from me. It's pointless to hide it among all the other useless crap you may or may not have on your blog. Ugh!!! What do you people think when you do this stuff?

I've mentioned in previous blogs that I have a thing for sandals. I was reading someone's blog the other day and they were talking about how flip flops disgusted them. I have to agree with them. I don't find them disgusting, but I believe flip flops should stay in the shower. If you must wear open toes shoes, then wear some flat sandals or something. Also, don't wear sock with sandals! That's just plain repugnant!

If you're going to have your windows open, then don't walk around naked! I would probably not be saying this if it was say Halle Berry or Denise Richards, but I looked out my window last night and this...how should I say this politely...rather "healthy" woman walked back and forth by the window. I'm the first person to give kudos to a woman for being proud of her body and not being stick thin. Also, I'm not exaclty in the best shape of my life, but there are somethings that should just not be seen by the world. It was rather disgusting!
