Big Dippers

Stars and their mouths, now I am not going to comment on Michael Richards and his ‘N’ bomb because I think that was just plain dumb. I don’t think he is a racist, but just ignorant and unfortunately caught up in the moment. Not that I am saying that gives him a reason, but that I am not going to give him any more publicity than he has already received.

What I do want to talk about is the big mouth that Rosie O’Donnell has. I like Rosie and have appreciated all her hard work for the charities her celebrity has helped. I am getting tired of her gay soap box she tends to stand on and how she is now the only person, who for some reason, speaks for all the gay people out there.

From what I have read, she called out Kelly Ripa for being a Homophobic because last week on Kelly’s show Clay Aiken co-hosted with her. While Kelly was talking, Clay placed his hand over her mouth to shut her up (as we all would love to do), and she said to him “I don't know where that hand has been."

Rosie said on her show that if Aiken was a "straight guy, a cute guy" or, for instance, Mario Lopez, Ripa wouldn't have made the same remark. But what gets me is why is Rosie the one outing Aiken. Aiken, of course, has never said anything publicly about his sexuality.

Ripa called into the View and told Rosie she was referring to it being Cold and Flu season and she didn’t want to get sick. That Rosie’s accusations were “outrageous" and "irresponsible," and I have to agree. From the start of Ripa’s show, the tension between Ripa and Aiken was high. They aired the Halloween show when Ripa dressed up as Aiken and I guess he was not impressed. From that point it was all down hill.

I just wish Rosie would stick to doing what she does best. Raising money for charity and making her co-hosts mad. I don’t know why she has to attack other shows and their co-host. She has 3 of her own to go through first. Hell, start with Elizabeth, I can’t stand her!

Peace,

Side Note

I just read an article, and yes I know, I read something, that Tommy Thompson is exploring the idea of running for the presidency in 2008. For those of you who don’t know Tommy Thompson, he was President Bush’s Health and Human Services Secretary during his first term. Oh, and did I mention my neighbor.

Yea, how cool is that! I know a possible future president of the United States of America. Of course, he is just toying with the idea and he has to run against other republicans just to get the honor of being the candidate, but how cool is it that I know and live with someone who could one day be our next president.

Not saying that he comes over and borrows and egg, or a cup of sugar from me, but we have met each other of a few occasions. The first time we met he said his name like I was supposed to know who he was. So I said my name back like he was supposed to know who I was – so I said in my head, all proud and mighty. I later told my buddy Scott and he said I was an ass because that was Tommy Thompson some big wig blah blah blah… I’m not really into politics.

I just thought I would share this with you, so if he does win the next election, I could be having lunch in the West Wing with my old neighbor reminiscing about the old neighborhood. Yea, right like that would ever happen. He would probably say to me you’re that asshole kid who didn’t know who I was.

OJ’s Slash and Tell

So is it me, or do you find it incredibly nuts that someone can just sit back and write a book about how they would supposedly kill someone who, oh by the way, were on trial for killing? I can’t believe OJ is one, that hard up for money that he would even consider writing this type of book; two, a publishing company would even be dumb enough to put this shit to print no matter what kind of profit it may make; and three, for FOX to even agreeing to conduct the interview and broadcast this fucker over the airwaves to promote his book.

OJ says this is just a hypothetical situation and all fiction, but come on. No one really believed he didn’t do it in the first place. This is just his way of confessing to the murder and relieving himself of a guilty conscience. With double jeopardy the way it is, he can pretty much say in the book “Yes I killed her,” and he can’t incriminate himself, unless of course he decides to kill someone else and write about that murder.

I feel our society should move on from OJ and his fading celebrity. We should show him that we are not at all interested in him, nor his book of so-called made up murder scenarios by not buying the book and not watching the interview on FOX. But I guess he is like a car crash. Even though you know it won’t be pretty and you know you really don’t want to know or see what happened, you’re going to peek as you pass by.

I still think he killed her.

Guess Who's Back

So it has been a while since I have last written and things have picked up around here since last I wrote. I have been taking my meds and talking with friends about how my work affects me and everything seems to be going well for me. Granted, I am working too many hours every week, but whatever. As long as the job gets done, that is the main thing.

I went back to GA a few weeks ago, and I am sorry for those of you whom I did not get to see. I was only there for a few days and I had to take care of some business. It was my parents’ anniversary and my God son’s 1st birthday, so I had to fulfill those obligations first. I was only able to see one other friend while I was home and then it was back to the V-A. I promise I will see you all when I come back for Christmas.

I do have to tell you about the oddest iPod accessory I saw in the SkyMall magazine. It was an adapter you hook your iPod up to and listen to your tunes on as well as a toilet paper holder. Now I don’t know about you, but when I am on the thrown, the last thing I am think is “damn I wish I had my iPod, so I could be kick’n it with my tunes.”

Next week is thanksgiving and the folks are coming up here for a change. This should be real interesting. I usually go back to GA, so I can see everyone, but this time I’ll be here in good old VA. I am kinda sad about it. I wish I was heading back down south for this holiday. I have never been up here, and I usually take the time off to see all my friends, so this is going to be a real change for me. I hope you all have a great holiday and I’ll see you in Dec. I guess the cool thing is I got tickets for me and the folks to see Cirque du Soleil for the Friday after Thanksgiving. So that should be fun, I hope.

I guess that about wraps things up for now. The guys at GW are going strong and they had an awesome rush! The new associates are “sharp” guys and I will be proud to call them brothers – one day. They are in the process of learning the history of the fraternity and as boring of a process as it may be, we all had to read the book and learn the history. Suck it up and just do…you enjoy the other side!

Peace,
