Ten Topics of the Day

I've been off the blog due to no computer. I actually did one from my phone, but it proved quite aggravating. So here are ten thoughts to get my juices flowing. They quite possibly could become full length blogs within the next few days. Any requests?

1. Same sex marriage - Why do we care what people do in the bedroom. I know church going people who like to be tied up and peed on, bnd two guys or girls who want to exchange vows is deviant behavior?

2. Sexting - at what point does it honestly seem like a good idea? Especially if your name just happens to be Weiner.

3. Derek Jeter - as much as I hate him for being a Yankee, I can't help myself, as a fan, but to root for him. I'm honestly sad to see him hit the DL.

4. LeBron James - 99% of the league wishes they could suck to the tune of 18pts, 7rebs and 6ass in the finals.

5. Red Dawn - why is this being remade? Didn't it suck the first time?

6. Diets - why do people take diet advice from people who have always been thin? What the fuck do they know about weight loss. I've been in great shape and I've been in awful shape. I've lost 53lbs in the last year and 22 since Christmas. I haven't dieted once. I drink all the time. I don't exercise. Wanna know the secret? Stop fucking eating so much! Sorry Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, etc. I gave up the big secret.

7. Hummus & Guinness - lose weight and ruin the ozone at the same time.

8. Comedies - when did it become a rule that the only thing that people find funny are dick and shit jokes? It's like the entire nation is evolving into a geeky 12 year old.

9. Summer clothing is here - why does this paper say I must stay 50 feet away at all times? And I'm sorry, I didn't know she was 15, because none of my friends parents let their daughters dress like whores are that age. Is it really progress to let your teenager look like Britney on a meth binge? Juicy!

10. The Voice - I hate reality competitions, unless they involve Padma or lamb chops, but this show has won me over. You know what separates this from all the other singing competitions? Talent. Last Tuesday the 7th worst (out of 8) singer was better than anyone on Idol not named Carrie Underwood and you know who it was? Frenchy Davis who was booted from AI.

Well those are the topics I've been thinking about as it relates to Pop Culture. Don't let me get started on the Republican debate, because that was just hilarious. Please someone just clear one thing up for me. Is Newt Gingrich the guy from the old Keystone Light commercials? You know the one with "bitter beer face."

White Privilege

This was a post I wrote on Facebook after surprisingly not seeing any moaning about the Documentary by Jose Antonio Vargas, titled White People Dayyum! I just scrolled my timeline and not a single white person got their feelings hurt by White People. I unfortunately haven't seen it, but the number of fake accounts that popped up on twitter, tells me it was a damn good show. Here's the thing. If someone of color aka non-white says "White Privilege," are you offended? If you said yes, then you are exhibiting white privilege. It has nothing to do with how hard you work or study, how you stayed out of trouble, because here's the thing, that is entirely the point. Somewhere out there, there are 100 Black, Spanish, Native American, Arab, Asian, who worked and studied as hard as you and never got in trouble, but they don't have what you "earned" or achieved. Stop looking at the one person you know who isn't white that achieved as your benchmark. Loo...

Lists

Americans are obsessed with lists. Christmas Lists, Top Ten Lists, Shopping Lists, Hell, when I was a kid, one of the most popular books was aptly titled, The Book of Lists. We're obsessed. I make lists all the time and while I try to use the universally accepted limit of ten items, they rarely end up that way. That being said, lists are a terrible thing. I have never, not once in my life, used a shopping list. You know what I'm good at? Shopping. I buy what's on sale, forgoing the avocados this week and buying some peaches that looked ripe and at a bargain. I walk down every aisle and find things I'd never think to add to the holy list, but now see the large can is but 89 cents. Lists keep us from exploring. The inspiration for this, was not a rebuttal to a friends first blog, in which she lists things, proclaiming lists are a part of her life. No, this was inspired by a comical moment had at 5:18 in the morning. I went to get a glass of water and gazed in the frid...

Random Thoughts At 2:44AM

Most people I know do not care about knowing the truth or facts, they only care about being the one who passes along information. I wonder if I could privately ask people why they use social media (honestly), what their reason would be.  I don't think people without a sense of humor, realize how much fun the world can be. Even during the hard times.  So many of us spend time thinking of mistakes and regrets, but if we really think about it, we've probably dodged more bullets than missed boats.  You know when you sit by yourself reading, sipping some coffee or tea and you don't think about anything, but what you're doing? That!
