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...

Quickie Review - Finding Vivian Maier

While I thoroughly enjoyed the film, especially the first 15-20 minutes, I was a little bothered by the way the film played out. The interviews with the clearly disturbed brother, sister and the mother, who obviously, was in for a cut, didn't need to be in the film. Then the woman who suggested abuse, yet seemed to have her life defined by Maier, as she tried to muster every ounce of emotion and fake guilt. Her friend, more than happy to be party of the charade. People who talk about abuse for the first time, usually don't do so on camera. The fact these scenes were so prominent, shows that they felt wronged that they were not rewarded. Maloof on the other hand, seems to disappear from the documentary during this part, almost hiding away from the fact, he went from complete praise, to even making money off of her, to destroying her personal legacy. He almost mentions the family of boys taking care of her rent, as an afterthought. Her burial spot, never shown, yet a video of her...

If You Listen To One Speech - Lana Wachowski

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/lana-wachowski-opens-up-about-difficult-past-and-attempted-suicide-20121024 Today I saw a link to a video for a speech by Lana Wachowski.  The last name rung a bell, but I could't put my finger on it. Lana, used to be Larry, one of the writer, director, producers of the Matrix trilogy, V for Vendetta and the upcoming Cloud Atlas.  Lana is transgendered and has "come out" as a woman.  She was being honored by the Human Rights Campaign. I didn't know what to expect when this broad woman with crazy hair and a raspy voice began to speak.  She began with the usual pleasantries and told of her hair dresser. She then tells of her desire to be a quiet person and how hard the success of the Matrix movies made this.  The first ten minutes is telling of how she's not quite ready to be this spokesperson.  Then she speaks about the new movie Cloud Atlas and reveals the heart of the movie and this speech. She states,"The resp...
