Paris Isn't So Lovely This Time of Year

Paris Hilton was sent back to jail kicking and screaming. The sheriff where she was serving her sentence reported that she is a mentally sick woman and that he released her on medical grounds because she clearly has problems and needs medical attention. I would agree I believe she suffers from a mental problem seen among many Americans especially those with a particular level of privilege. I think it's called "my parents didn't raise me right" Syndrome. It causes multiple bouts of seemingly uncontrollable sexual escapades made public, bad singing, drunken stage shows, travel around the world with small animals in special purses, public displays of stupidity, public airing of one personal life and problems, kicking and screaming fits when one doesn't get what one wants, crying over spilled milk, complete disregard for others and their property, constant attendance of parties one was not invited to, a substantially diminished vocabulary causing one to only say incomplete sentences while chewing gum, and many many other common symptoms. If you come across anyone displaying these symptoms walk away calmly and get out of camera range so that you are not associated with this person, get out your camera phone and prepare for a You Tube worthy show, call your friends and thank them that they are not that person, and finally if your friend is that person or someone like them jettison them out of your life at the earliest moment possible.

The Art of Money Making With a Song in Your Heart and a Blog on the Web

Check out this article. It's about a "shaggy" looking 36 year old computer programmer who somehow convinced his wife to bless the idea of him quitting his job and becoming a full time singer and song-writer. Not an easy feat for her when you consider bills, the economy and the price of fuel. He made a rule for himself that he would write and record a song each week and then post it to his blog. He stuck to his goal through all the writer's block and difficulty. He had always had a dream of being a full-time musician and figured this huge challenge would be the way to do it. Those of you who are thinking "big deal" so the guy is a full time musician consider the fact that in order to be a full time anything you have to spend all of your time doing it. This means you can't spend any of your time with some other job which makes you any sort of money or compensation. Not because it's against the rules but simply because there isn't any time. So has he become successful? Who knows? I guess that would be based on what your definition of success is. He has however made a "reasonable middle class living" at it. He pulls in between $3000 and $5000 with the CD's and digital downloads of his music on iTunes. I don't know how that compares to being an average computer programmer but I do know how it compares to what I make. I make between $1500 and $3000 a month doing what I do and only parts of it are fun and none of it is what I have ever dreamed of doing. To me if you can make the minimum it takes you to just live while doing something you've dreamed of doing most of your life then you are successful. I plan to move to LA one day and become an actress or singer. Does that mean I will be famous and have paparazzi chasing me around on the streets? Likely no. It does mean however that little children all over the country will recognize my voice when I speak because I'm the voice of their favorite cartoon character. As long as I make between $3000 and $5000 a month then I'll be happy. So kudos to this guy (Jonathan Coulton) for doing his thing and more kudos for getting published in the New York Times and being the 3rd most linked article on blogs for just today. This means that he has in one day increased his blog traffic from more than 3,000 people daily on average to who knows how many. I have to say I'm a bit jealous that I haven't spent some of the money I blow on eating out every day on some recording equipment and a few guitar lessons. I had the voice lessons in middle school.

Interesting Statistics on Internet Porn

Here are some interesting statistics on Internet Porn which will give you some insight on our country. A couple of things that are funny when I think about it after watching this video. First of all the U.S. Produces 89% of the porn on the internet yet everyday people are protesting "adult toy stores" and strip clubs etc. Interesting that 70% of the porn viewed every day is viewed during the 9-5 workday. Ladies that tells you what your husbands are getting accomplished at work, and you know it's the husbands because only 28% of internet porn viewers are female. Not only that but people in congress bring up different fights against particular parts of the porn industry while they are at work and yet the U.S. Revenue made from Internet porn alone is $2.84 billion yearly. Check out the video the statistics are presented in an interesting way. However, do not view it with minors around you until you have viewed it first for their approval. There is no nudity in the video but the idea of nudity is clear which only serves to assist a little hormonal teenager's mind.

Grandma Walks It Out

Haaaa!! This is too funny. We never think of our grandma walking it out. I wonder if I can talk my grandma into doing this on a video for me when I visit her. Maybe if I show her this video she'll do it.

Sad Kermit Sings Hurt

Kermie was betrayed by Piggy and sings a NIN cover. Jonny Cash would be proud. Warning: Adult frog content. Please restrict tadpoles from the adult Kermie scenes in this video. Kermie has grown up and like many child stars he didn't make the best decisions.

American Idol - Who LIKES SANJAYA?

Here is a goofy video about Sanjaya from American Idol. I haven't watched too much this year. It's pretty clear who should win but with all the young little cry baby pre-teens who love little feminine pretty boys who knows Sanjaya may have a chance.

Someone Has Killed Pakistan's Cricket Coach

After losing the world cup competition Bob Woolmer was killed in his hotel room. Authorities say it appears to be manual strangulation. I guess cricket must be a major deal to those who wanted Pakistan to win. Of course, I'm assuming that is the reason he was killed. You never know he could have been kicking one of his players off the team or any other list of theories. What if he's gay and was trying to pick up one of his players to console him after the loss. I don't know anything about cricket or the importance of it. About all I do know is that (if I am remembering correctly) it began in India. Of course we Americans prefer baseball over cricket. Baseball is definitely the lazier version of the two games.

James Brown Dies

Soul star James Brown died early Christmas morning in Atlanta,GA at age 73. His music is some of the most widely sampled music which is a compliment to him and a sad lack of originality on the part of the samplers. I will always remember him as the singer whom hardly anyone could understand when he spoke yet miraculously was completely understood in song. Much like Bob Dillon who is the opposite and can be understood when speaking but definitely not by all when singing.



I wonder how many of these kids' parents hated it that they loved James Brown music? And I wonder what it must have been like to be a black man performing in a place where black people weren't allowed to spectate the performance?

Check This Guy Out Great Guitar Player

You have to check this guy out! He plays the guitar like no one I've seen before. First of all if you're just listening to it and not watching the video it's good playing. Secondly when you watch how he plays the instrument as if it's a part of his body and it's been there forever it's kinda cool. The guy plays up and down the fret with both of his hands as opposed to strumming with one hand and playing chords with the other.

Barack Obama's Big Announcement

I love Barack Obama and I doubt that anyone ever comes along by the end of my life who I believe would be as good a president as he would be. Whether or not he ever will run I don't know but I can tell you that if/when it happens he is the man I will be voting for. And if we all vote for him he may actually be allowed to do the job unless we can't stop electoral disfunction that is. Any way check out this video and support my man Obama.

Rosie O'Donnell's Racist Mocking of the Chinese Language

Rosie has offended the Chinese and other asian ethnic groups with her imitation of the Chinese language. She never ceases to amaze me. When she was all overly sensitive about the whole Clay Aiken/Kelly Ripa thing and accused Kelly of being homophobic with her comments. First of all you can't accuse someone of being homophobic of someone who hasn't said they're a homo. If you are a homo and you're stuck in the closet out of fear of what it will do to your career or your family relationships or whatever aren't you a litte homophobic yourself? I think it's called self hatred or something like that isn't it Rosie? She has always driven me nuts. She ranted and raved about doing away with guns all together and all the while her armed body guard stood close by just in case of emergency. She yapped and yapped on her show about being in love with Tom Cruise and then when it was about to come out that she was a homo she decides to out herself and retire. Making the cowardly move of doing it after she had already had a successful career as opposed to just being honest from the beginning or being like Clay Aiken is now and refusing to address the issue because it isn't relevant. Finally she ends up on The View spouting off about Kelly Ripa being a homophobe when (take it from this homo) it is clear she is being overly sensitive. Then she acts like an insensitive racist ass on The View and has the nerve to tell people to lighten up. Lighten up!?! This coming from someone who was wound tight about a statement she took as homophobic about a guy who hasn't even said whether or not he's gay. This lady contradicts herself all of the time and I wish she was not one of the weirdos who represents the gay population publicly to the world. No wonder they hate us with all the Rosies and the Ted Haggards and the Governor McGreeveys etc. running around making idiotic mistakes under public scrutiny. Whatever happened to integrity no matter who you are? Even theives have a moral code within their own ranks. Homos unite and oust this wacko from her throne.



I do have to say however that I met her partner one time and she was really nice.
