- Why Cops Are Scumbags

I'm going to share a couple of stories of why I hate pigs, I mean cops.

Well, as some of you probably have already, I read a story on MSNBC about a 10-year-old girl who was tasered by a police officer because she was uncooperative when her mother tried to send her to a youth shelter. She was apparently throwing a tantrum on the floor because she didn't want to go. The mother called the police and when they arrived, she instructed them to use their taser. Without going into a probably 3 page long rant about how much this irks me, I'll say a couple of simple things. To the mother: You are a f-ing bitch who should accidentally break your freaking arms ... and to the pig, are you that much of a pussy that you need to use a taser to control a 10-year-old girl? YOU are the reason why I hate cops so much. Whether or not the trip to the youth shelter was justified, I don't know and I won't speculate, but even if you did have to physically remove a little kid from a situation, is it too hard to simply wrap your arms around the kid from behind, lift that massive 50 lb weight, and carry it away? You are a worthless piece of dog shit and I hope you get fired! But you won't because cops always protect cops. It's like they have their own freaking government and they can make any rule and just as easily break it. You abuse your power and authority and for that, you can all suck it!

Before I read about this story, I still hated cops. Here are a couple of my own stories of run-ins with cops and, believe it or not, they are all true.

Story 1: I got a $25 safety violation ticket because I had snow on my back window ... did I mention that this was in a blizzard?

Story 2: I was parked next to someone who had the same car as me and I ended up with their parking ticket. The pigs didn't believe me.

Story 3: I was ticketed for tailgating ... in a traffic jam. Did I also mention that the pig was about 5 or 6 cars directly behind me? He turned on his lights and everyone moved for him so he could pull me over.

Story 4: I was at a house once that got busted for pot. On that particular day, I didn't take part in the session (luckily), I had turned down the offer and arrived after it was over so we could all go bowling. I didn't get in any trouble so I didn't make a special visit to my family to tell them about it. The next day, the same pig that did the bust made a point to pull over my father and tell him all about it. I was 20-years-old.

Story 5: I was 18 and it was Christmas Eve. I was driving down to Cape Cod to do some last minute shopping. I was pulled over for no reason (at least he didn't tell me what the reason was)and he verbally destroyed me. He questioned me about why I wasn't in school (ass), and he tried to get me to confess that I had pot in my car. I repeatedly told him that I didn't have any weed, and even if I did, I wasn't stupid enough to tell him about it. He then started to harass my girlfriend at the time for being with me because I wore a backwards baseball cap and my drug habits were a bad influence. What the F is he talking about? He eventually let me go, but I hope that someday he spends the 20 minutes he wasted of my life being very very ill.

Story 6: I was pulled over because I didn't let a cop cut me off when he was at a stop sign and I wasn't. He said that he was a cop and that gave him the right of way no matter what. OK jackass, I'll just hit my brakes going 50 and cause an accident, just so you don't have to wait at a stop sign. FU!

Story 7: The first time I was pulled over for speeding, the cop asked me if I had ever received a speeding ticket before. I told him no, which was the truth, and he went about his business. When he returned to my vehicle, he threw the speeding ticket on my lap and said, "I wasn't going to give this to you but since you lied to me, I am." When I asked what I lied about, he told me I received a a ticket here and a ticket there, blah blah blah. I then told him that he never asked about a ticket, he asked about a speeding ticket, which meant I was telling the truth. It didn't matter to him and I got stuck with the ticket. I fought this one in court and even though I lost, I left the courtroom to cheers because I made this guy look like a total asshole in front of the judge.


I could give you more but I don't think I have to. I could mention that they continuously get away with crimes, including murder. What the hell do they get paid for anyway? Short of patrolling places, flexing their huge muscles, and trying hard as they can to look tough, what the hell do they do to earn as much money as they do? If you think about it, it's the civilians that solve crimes. Without us, they wouldn't find the criminals and they wouldn't solve the case. So basically, they get paid to ask questions and look mean and intimidating when they do it. The article said that the girl was kicking and screaming and caught the cop in the groin ... LOL! She should have kicked him in the freakin face.

Random Thoughts:

1) Flash Forward better not become another Lost. I don't think I could handle it.

2) Why can't radio stations play a variety of music, even though most of the mottos are 'Today's best variety!' Don't you mean, 'Today's top 5'?

3) The New Moon hype is fascinating! If Robert Pattinson didn't wear as much make-up as Tammy Fay Baker, he probably wouldn't look as fake. To all those chicks that love him, you can no longer insult fake boobies ... I'll wait for the $.99 DVD.

4) My second book comes out in 41 days!

5) Winter is coming, which means I will be in a bad mood for about 8 months.

6) Oprah's leaving ABC ... oh yeah, I forgot that I didn't care.

7) Only a soap opera can get away with a 17-year-old born 4 years ago. I love it!

VC's 3 -- Sex Scenes in Film (not counting porn)

Worst:

3) Elizabeth Berkeley (Showgirls: All of them): I don't know why, but the sex scenes in this movie were really lame. Too fake.

2) Kim Basinger & Mickey Rourke (9 1/2 Weeks: Kitchen scene): I hate honey so this scene was disgusting.

1) Heather Matarazzo & Monica Malicova (Hostel 2: Bathtub): This was a masturbation scene, but it was really quite disturbing. I'm not into a woman spanking the monkey while slicing a girl left and right who is hanging upside down. Not to mention, the masturbating woman was bathing in the blood while doing herself. What the F is wrong with the guy who wrote that?

Best:

3) Madonna & Willem Defoe (Body of Evidence: The Parking Garage): Super hot chick on the hood of a car wearing a skirt. Need I say more? YES I CAN! The guy is standing on the ground!

2) Matt Dillon, Neve Campbell, and Denise Richards (Wild Things: Hotel Scene): Not too much as far as graphics here, but DAMN! That scene was super hot!

1) Sharon Stone & Michael Douglas (Basic Instinct: First Time): What can I say? I was convinced they were really doing the nasty! This was the best non-porno sex scene of all time. What makes it great is that the 10 minutes leading up to it during the club scene gets you freaking hot. God bless this scene! For the record ... this movie is great foreplay, especially when you watch it with someone you want to be with but you haven't fooled around yet because your nerves are winning the battle. This movie is the perfect nerve barrier breaker! It's also good if you just want to bang your spouse.

- The DVR Curse

Since my last blog was very angry, I figured I would do something a little more fun. Don't get me wrong, I am still going to piss and moan :)

Anybody that knows me knows that I absolutely can not live without television. If I could sit down and watch 23 hours of TV a day, I would. If necessary, I guess I could live without it, but I would be miserable. It's really funny because a few months ago, my wife and I were deciding whether or not we should get rid of the TV. I told her I could live without it and I wouldn't be against it. A couple days later, we went out and bought a 42" LCD flat screen wall mounted TV. (I have the most amazing wife!) I know that TV is one of the contributors to numerous issues with today's youth, but I grew up with it, and I intend to die with it.

Now that I have two children, I'm trying very hard to make sure they don't turn out like me. I don't want them to have the same television habits I do. That's why I'm glad that the DVR was invented. I can watch my shows when they aren't present (at least some of the time). It was a freakin genius idea, but it's also a curse. For a society that is trying to find ways to cut back TV time, they do something that has the opposite result ... as it is with all of society's goals.

A couple years ago, I had about 3 or 4 shows I would watch in a week. Nothing too crazy. I figure it's normal for the average TV watcher. But now that I have DVR, I find myself recording ... let's see, 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... 5 ... 6 ... 7 ... 8 ... about 8 shows a week, and that doesn't count the specials that come on every now and then. There's a choice that needs to be made, either they need to stop making so many damn good shows, or I need to stop watching TV. Since the second one is not an option, so they need to stop making so many good shows.

My wife also watches her few shows each week. It's a good thing because her shows sometimes override something extra that I want to watch, so it eases the stress. In a lot of ways, I wish I didn't even have the TV. Every morning I sit on the floor with my oldest son and read books with him. I can't help but think to myself, 'I really wish he liked TV'. I have to thank my son though, because now that he is getting older and becoming more fun, I choose to play with him instead. However, I often still have the TV on, just for the background noise.

I bet you're all wondering, "Visionchild, when do you have time to watch those shows?" To answer you, when I can. I often fall 2, sometimes 3 weeks behind on the weekly shows, and the daily shows I try to sneak in when the kids are napping or if they have independent play time. It's getting more difficult to watch TV, especially with two young children. By the time I get to watch these shows, some stupid radio DJ is ruining it for me (see an earlier blog about that complaint).

I don't want anyone to think that I would rather watch TV than spend time with my kids because that is NOT true at all. I think of TV as an addiction. If anyone has had an addiction before, you know how difficult it is to quit, especially cold turkey. At least I don't use twitter, except to post these blogs. Sometimes I just wish that people would stop contributing to my addiction. If I was a smoker trying to cut down, would you constantly buy me smokes?



Random Thoughts:

1) They executed a guy for shooting a gas station attendant. Why is someone who killed 13 people still alive?

2) I wish people would give Rihanna the credit she deserves for simply being talented as hell. It's a shame that it took a beating from her assmonkey ex-boyfriend for that to happen.

3) Taylor Swift, I'm a big fan, but you should be thanking Kanye West right now, as much of a douchebag that he is.

4) OH MY GOD! Oprah's leaving ABC ... oh yeah ... who cares?

5) So You Think You Can Dance! My wife enjoys the show. I don't care for it very much. They should change the name to ... So You Think You Can Tell Mary Murphy To Shut The Hell Up! When I have the TV muted, I can still hear that f-ing woman scream.

6) Praise to Mike Tyson for whopping a paparazzo's ass. They freakin deserve it.

7) CMA award's. Am I the only one that thinks that if a genre of music has it's own award show, they shouldn't be a part of the others? Either get rid of the CMA's, or take them out of all the others. Why give that music 2 or more awards shows? What makes country music so f-ing special? It's not even any good. I like music with lots of swears and violence in it :P

8) Speaking of TV, how freakin annoying is it that they always interrupt TV shows for Special Breaking News reports? Like we're not going to hear about it! They always seem to do it during cliff hanger Friday's during soap operas. Those bastards! I love it when they do it during blizzards when you're sitting in front of the TV. Like I don't know it's a freakin blizzard outside! Put my f-ing show back on!

VC's 3 -- Action Heroes

Worst

3) Jason Statham: This guy can kick ass but he lacks character. I love his type of movies but I don't watch them.

2) Jet Li: Like above, this guy kicks ass. I think the special martial arts effect are going a little too far. I liked it better when it was more authentic. This guy, unfortunately, is a victim of that dislike.

1) Angelina Jolie: I don't why but something about this woman as the ass kicker doesn't suit well with me. She seems too fake in her action roles. Mr. and Mrs. Smith wasn't bad but I think she has had much better roles.


Best

3) Arnold Schwarzenegger: Come on! Do you really think he wouldn't make my top 3 action heroes. He was a freakin icon in the industry. Nobody could break a neck like him.

2) Brendan Frasier: Even though he has probably done more of something else. There is something about this guy that kicks total ass when he's the action hero. The Mummy movies are some of my favorite movies, execpt for the 4th one.

1) Bruce Willis: A lot of people may disagree with me here, but give me a freakin break! John McClane is the freakin man! The Die Hard movies are the best action movies of all time and that gives BW the best action hero on my list.

- Beware: Lots of Anger!

I know this is an entertainment blog, but every now and then I tend to talk about more serious stuff. Since there is nothing worth talking about right now in the entertainment world, I am going to discuss my opinion on something more serious.

Those that know me know my opinion of those who commit acts of extreme violence. When I say extreme violence, I'm not talking about dealing pot, robbing a liquor store, or even beating up someone just for fun. I'm talking about senseless murder, rape, child abuse, kidnapping, etc. I'll be the first to admit that I'm not very educated in the field of law and, to be honest with you, I couldn't even tell you what states allow the death penalty. All I can tell you is that the asshole who shot up everyone in the Fort Hood military base ... should be killed.

I invite anyone out there to answer this question ... what gives people like this the right to be alive?

I feel very strongly about this type of bullshit. For those of you that have read my book, it is the plot of the story. I created a vigilante killer to avenge those who are victims of extreme violence. Of course I added fun to it, but it is stories like this that gave me the ammunition.

Why in the world do we keep people like this alive? Would it really be wrong if someone just put a bullet in the head? Would it not be justified? What about the families of the victims? Don't they deserve a little justice? Is it really justice to give people like this an opportunity to defend themselves in a court of law, especially if they're caught red handed in the violent act? Is it really justice that if found guilty, they get to eat, sleep, play, and socialize? Why should these people get the same civil liberties as everyone else? I don't usually say this word in full on this blog, but what the FUCK is wrong with this system? Why is it that pot dealers get 10 years when a convicted rapist gets 2?

Onto the next story that makes me wish I didn't share the same air as some people. The gang rape of a teenage girl in CA while everyone watched ... Hello? Why are these little useless pieces of shit still alive? OH I KNOW! ... because they're only kids and they didn't know any better. They need psychiatric help to deal with the trauma. Those poor kids, how are they going to cope with this? Shut the fuck up and go kill yourselves! Stop spending our tax dollars on lawyers and hard worker's time doing jury duty for worthless cockholes like this.

Here's an alternative for those of you who don't agree with me. We can take all of these criminals, strip them down to their boxer shorts, give them a handgun with one bullet, and drop them in the middle of a middle eastern desert. Then you tell them, "Best of luck."

I do apologize for my evilness in this post but I can't fathom what is going on in this country. How many shooting sprees, gang rapes, child abuse cases, and whatever other sick twisted act people come up with do we have to deal with before the necessary harsh action is taken? Save prison space for morons like the balloon family, not sick freaks like the Fort Hood killer.

Random Thoughts:

1) Rihanna finally opens up about her toolbox ex-boyfriend. Why would she bother? It's not like there's anyone left on earth that doesn't know about it. I'm glad she's ok though. I'm a big fan.

2) Hulk Hogan goes to TNA and is allegedly going to run the show. Hulk Hogan! Don't make too much money because your lazy no-good ex-wife will find a legal way to take it from you. TNA is getting better and better. I'm very intriqued by this story.

3) Speaking of professional wrestling, Maryse is coming back at Survivor Series! One of my favorite Divas.

4) Christmas is soon to take over the world. It blows my mind that we celebrate the birth of Christ by being completely stressed out, spending money we don't have, wasting valueable time in check out lines 2 miles long, lying to little kids, and having the worst road rage of the year which end up in numerous fender benders and fist fights over parking spaces. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the suicide rate is highest on this day. Interesting celebration for our savior's birthday. This explains a lot. Hence why I think religion, all shapes and forms ... is a bunch of crap. Don't worry everyone, I do play along for the sake of my children. I wouldn't ruin it for them because I think the holiday sucks.

VCs Top 3 -- TV Sitcom's

Worst 3:

3) Golden Girls: Even though this was on the line-up for family TV night when I was very young, I had no desire to watch the fictional lives of four old ladies. It had funny parts but I was never really psyched about it.

2) Murphy Brown: I never did, nor do I still, like to listen to Candice Bergen talk. It was like nails on a chalkboard. It was a funny show at times but her talking ruined it.

1) Blossom: The opening segment for this show ruined everything. This was the worst show for that very reason.

Top 3:

3) Friends: This is the only show I ever watched where I was envious of the life that the characters had. I would love to have close friends that spend that much time together just having fun. This show gave me some of the best laughing fits.

2) Fresh Prince of Bel-Air: I have to admit that I'm now sick of this show because I've seen every episode about 34 times. The Fresh Prince's dancing, and the fact that I was willing to watch each episode 34 times gave this a second place vote.

1) Scrubs: This is one of the only shows in history that has made me laugh hysterically when there wasn't even anything funny. I drive my wife crazy with my laughter at this genious show. I've never seen a show with better chemistry between the characters. I will never get sick of watching Scrubs. This has won my vote for top TV sitcom.

- Slackers

My apologies for slacking off on the blog front. It's been a crazy busy couple of weeks in my hectic life. Between Halloween, trying to get my next book finished, and other work related craziness, I haven't had any free time. If I'm lucky, I get about 30 minutes with my wife per day.

To be honest with you, another reason why I haven't written anything here is because, quite simply, there really isn't anything new to talk about in the entertainment world. It's the same old boring bullshit.

- The media still has a hard-on for Michael Jackson and his ridiculously over-hyped movie, the media still has a hard-on over those two jackass toolboxes Jon and Kate, the rich and famous continue to piss and moan about how difficult life is, and celebrities keep on doing stupid shit to stay famous ... what else can I say?

I do want to mention something funny about Ass and Bigger Ass (Jon and Kate). I was in the check out line at the super market the other day, and I was browsing at all the magazine covers they keep on the shelves. I can't remember exactly which magazine it was but there was big headline across the top that read: - This Issue is Gosselin Free! - I shook my head and said, "Ass."

Ever since I started this blog, I've been paying a little more attention to what goes on the entertainment world, and with everyday that goes by, I'm glad I'm not famous. "HOLY SHIT! THE VISIONCHILD IS GETTING INTO HIS CAR AND DRIVING THROUGH DUNKIN DONUTS TO GET A COFFEE COOLATA! .... ALERT THE MEDIA!"

I have sympathy for these people, at least the decent ones that appreciate what they have and continue to work hard for it. I can't imagine having cameras in my face everywhere I went. A lot of celebrities can't even take a shit without being bombarded with flashes.

Well, I've decided to start something new to keep this blog fresh and active. There isn't always something to discuss and I really enjoy writing on here. What I'm going to do is add a little section at the end after the random thoughts. I'm calling it VC's 3. Everytime I write on here, I will choose a random subject and pick the best 3 and worst 3 of that particular topic/subject followed by a smart-ass comment (if I can). For example, this week I chose Professional Wrestlers. You will also see movies, songs, books, etc. I invite everyone to leave a comment and give your best and worst 3 of the particular subject.

Random thoughts:

1) Missing Florida baby found alive in babysitters home, under a bed, in a box. I'm happy to hear the baby's okay. Now all they have to do is make whoever's responsible not ok.

2) Is Dancing with the Stars over yet?

3) Who should I route for during the Patriots and Saints game in a few weeks? The Pats are my team, but as of late, the Saints have earned my respect.

4) THE YANKEES WON THE WORLD SERIES!!! Oh yeah ... I really don't give a shit about that team or the sport for that matter. I would rather sit on my lawn with an ice cold beer and a slice of pizza, watching my lawn grow ... in the winter. I can't support an activity where participants make millions of dollars a year for hitting a ball with a stick. The only ones who deserve a deserving paycheck are the pitchers, and I think teachers should be paid more.

OK, here we go!

VC's 3: Topic --- Current Professional Wrestlers (1 is best, or worst)

VC's Bottom 3:

3) Santino Marella (WWE-RAW) - Funny guy, terrible wrestler. This guy has become a joke. He was on the other list when he was the IC champ. They should just can the guy.

2) Chavo Guerrero (WWE-RAW) - What the f happened to you? Read above. Comes from the legendary Pro Wrestling Guerrero family, and they are making a joke out of him.

1) Scott Steiner (TNA) - I love his character, but he needs to do something different. He looks and talks like a bad-ass and he gets whopped every time he fights someone. TNA management either needs to make him a monster, or get rid of him. He's becoming useless and he is making other wrestlers who world with him look bad. he is my vote for worst professional wrestler

VC's Top 3:

3) CM Punk (WWE - Smackdown) - Brilliant move becoming a heel. Awesome mic skills, great wrestler, and freakin funny as hell with his anti-drug lines.

2) Eric Young (TNA) - Best mic skills in the business right now. He was made to be a leader of an evil faction. I only hope that he can back up his words because they're brilliant.

1) Randy Orton (WWE-RAW) - There is nobody more talented in the business as this guy. His character is beyond heel and he plays the role of a psychotic to a tee. He deserves the strap and I hope he gets it back soon. He wins best professional wrestler.

- Jaycee & Jabronis

I took my time writing about this because I figured I would give the story some time to unravel. To be honest with you, there hasn't too much in the entertainment news industry that has fascinated me lately. However, before I get into the main topic of this session, I want to share something with you ... all three readers :)

I purchased the People magazine where it featured Jaycee Dugard. Now, there have been tons of stories in my memory of little kids being kidnapped and so forth, but there is something about this story and Jaycee that really gets to me. It would be simple to say that this particular case so far has had a happy ending, unlike most of the other cases we have heard about. But to be honest with you, as much as it's great that she's ok, that's not it. I look at her picture on the magazine and my heart just breaks into pieces. I should be totally psyched that this woman is okay, and I am, but I can't help but feel such overwhelming sympathy for her. It may sound strange, but it almost feels like she was/is my friend. I can't explain it better than that. I really wish there was something I could do for her and her kids. Unfortunately, it's impossible. I'll tell you this ... if I were rich, they would be too. I've even thought about writing her a letter just telling her that I am glad she is back and she has been such an inspiration to so many people, including jabronis like myself. I can't imagine the amount of stress that woman is going through right now and I will absolutely not be a part of that, so I have to just stick to my thoughts and hope that she lives a long and happy life with her kids.

Now, back to character ...

I have vented numerous times about people doing stupid shit in order to get famous. What makes things worse is that we continue to give them what they want. I'm now talking about that family of jackasses, the Heene's. For those that don't know of them, they are the toolboxes that pulled off the recent balloon hoax (allegedly).

Are you people serious? Did you really make up a story about your 6 years old kid being stuck in a balloon that took off? I really hope not. When someone rapes, tortures, or murders, I have a tendency to get angry and wish slow death upon you, but in this circumstance, I don't. I simply wish that someone would just slap the stupid right off your f-ing face.

The sad thing about it is that it was allegedly done for publicity. Apparantly, these morons were turned down a reality show deal after appearing on Wife Swap. Well, out of desperation they pull this stunt. Well, congratulations assclowns, you're more than likely going to get your wish. You will have a show within a year, even if it's from jail. After you get out, you'll hit the tabloids, then you'll appear on Oprah to set the story straight. Next thing you know, you're world famous millionaires. Give me a break. At least Jaycee Dugard wouldn't show pictures of her kids. At least there's someone out there with some class, and she deserves more attention than anyone.

Some stories, whether they are desperate cries for attention or not, may deserve some media attention. These people do not at all qualify. If they really did create this assinine story, just put them in jail for a few years and forget about them. That would make the most sense. Will we do that? No. Do I understand it? No. Does it make any f-ing sense? No. This is just a prime example of why I get so irritated at the world I can't seem to get myself out of.

Random Thoughts:

1) I'm a little diappointed in radio personality Cooper Lawrence. She said that Evan Rachel Wood is a "terrible actress"! What the hell is she smokin?

2) Saw 6 coming out Friday. As much as everyone will disagree with me here, they do a very good job continuing a story that ended after part 2.

3) This is the first year I wasn't at the video game store purchasing Smackdown vs Raw on its release date. I'm so disappointed in myself.

4) Getting psyched for Celebrity Apprentice 3. My vote is hands down for Bret Michaels with Maria Kanellis a close 2nd.

5) Man in TN arrested for multiple acts of beastiality! What the f is his problem?

- Boobies & Bullshit

I rarely blog two days in a row but in this circumstance, I really had no choice. Don't worry, I'll keep this one short. The reason is that, as always, I came across an article on msnbc.com which shows a picture of John McCain's daughter Meghan, which she apparently posted on twitter, along with a goofy statement. Naturally, as expected in this f'ed up society we live in, she has been destroyed by numerous media outlets, especially in the field of politics. Here's the picture ... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33331085/ns/today-today_people/

First off, I don't really give a shit about politics. I know I should, but I don't. In my opinion, there aren't too many politicians out there who aren't corrupt in some form or another. But anyone who made negative comments about this girl, I have two sets of four words for you ... SHUT THE F UP & GET A F---ING LIFE!

Are you serious? Are people really insulting this girl and calling her a slut for posting a picture which shows a little boobage? WOW! A president can get a suck job while he's married and still be socially accepted. It's amazing to me.

I know she'll never read this, but I have a message for Meghan. You should pose for Playboy just to tell those idiots who are insulting you to f off. Put an F on one knocker, and a U on the other.

I absolutely cannot stand people like this ... "You don't have to pull cheap gags like this to get attention. Leave this to the Paris Hiltons of the world," one of the milder rebukes went. "You knew you were posting a nearly NSFW photo, so don't pretend like you're surprised at people's reaction."

Whoever wrote that (it wasn't stated), I have some advice for you ... go out and get laid. You need it! And what's wrong with Paris Hilton besides being a little on the stupid side?

I would like all of you to read this article about a mother ...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33340225/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts/

Seriously, I can't even discuss this topic. Sometimes I wish they would bring back public hangings for sick twisted freaks like this. Actually, in this case, hanging would be too f-ing generous. Crucifixion is getting warmer. I know ... Crucified while being stoned. That's more like it! Anybody that can harm their children like this deserve nothing but a slow, painful, merciless, torturous death. I've already discussed it more than I wanted to. Moving on ...

Random thoughts:

1) Is Flash Forward the new Lost? I hope not. I love Lost, but I can't deal with 6 more years of mystery.

2) For all Biggest Loser fans, Tracey is a freakin genius!

3) Still waiting for TNA to bring back Angelina Love.

4) Vote for Linda in CT!

5) Dancing with the Stars is planning a Michael Jackson tribute ... Makes me wonder if he knew what he was doing when he OD'd. It seemed like a brilliant career move. I really hope he gets to rest in peace someday.

6) Have I mentioned that my novel, Vision: Evan's Book is available as an e-book for FREE?

This is going to be short and sweet because with this particular topic, I could write a book.

I just finished reading an article on msnbc.com regarding the new cover of Teen Vogue Magazine. On the cover are two teen super models, one of them being pregnant. The article also references the pregnancy debacle of Jamie Lynn Spears and how it basically caused a major issue since she was a teen star and parents had to explain to their kids why she disappeared. Obviously if your the star of a TV show, especially a child star, you have to live by a certain moral standard. God f-ing forbid someone makes a mistake. Don't forget though people, it's okay for adult stars to have affairs, break laws, take drugs ... do parents explain to them why those ratings skyrocket? Or, are they too busy watching those shows? Why aren't famous adults given the same rules as child stars? NICE EXAMPLE YOU'RE SETTING MEDIA! The eight children of Jon and Kate ... look at their role models ... very very very sad. So when they get their own TV show when they're 16 and one of them screws up, who are you going to blame?

Anyway, before I begin to rant about my opinion on teen pregnancy, which I do NOT condone for the record, I wanted to make a simple point. I just think it's fascinating, at the same time, highly disturbing. Because one of those teen super models is pregnant, she and the magazine are going to be ripped apart in the media. I'm not 100% positive, but it sounded like the only reason they went ahead with the cover was because everything was already scheduled and it was too late to change it. Here's the fascinating part, am I the only one that notices how unbelievably and disturbingly skinny these girls are?

This has always been a fascinating topic for me. I really want to stress that I feel very bad for a lot of supermodels. I feel bad because they really have to live an unhealthy lifestyle in order to make it in the career they love. I don't give a shit who you are, you are not healthy if your knees are thicker than your thighs. It's really disturbing to me that in order to walk the catwalk sporting the new fashion, you have to be able to fit your entire body through a cheerio! Yet, the media, parents, critics, reporters, and many others are focusing on the pregnancy? What about the poor girl's health? Don't you freakin people see that there is a bigger problem? Maybe in this circumstance, there isn't a problem, but there is no doubt in my mind that there IS a problem.

It's just crazy to me that we see pregnancy as being such bad thing, while we basically condone anorexia ... a deadly disease that kills people everyday. I really wish I can say that supermodels are beautiful people. I'm sure they are on the inside which counts for a lot, but in the industry, it doesn't. I'm sorry, but I just can't see physical beauty in supermodels. It's very very very sad that the world of fashion and modeling has to do this to those people who want to be in that world, especially kids. If I was 6 feet tall, weighed 85 pounds, and my boss said I was overweight, I would beat their ass on general f-ing principle. I don't mean to sound insensitive because I know that anorexia is a terrible thing. That's my point here. I can't support an industry that makes billions of dollars off encouraging people to become ill. I know that not all of them do, and not all of them are toothpick skinny, but I'm going on majority here. It's what I see, and what I see on that magazine cover, are two girls that look very very ill.

Here's the link to the article. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33317625/ns/entertainment-gossip/

I have to stop because like I said, I could write a book.


Random Thoughts:

1) I just saw the recent picture of Jaycee Dugard. My heart breaks for that poor girl. I am a writer who has a tendency to create violent death scenes in my books. That sick freak who kidnapped her has inspired future scenes. I hope he rots in hell by his balls!

2) Chuck Liddell was hosed!

3) Jon and Kate ... I thought taking 'stupid' pills were only a means for a joke. I didn't realize they were a real drug until you two jabronis appeared in the media.

4) Five teenagers set a kid on fire in Florida. Your punishment ... live a nice warm place with other rebellious kids, people cook for you, clean for you, you get to be away from the parents you probably hate, you get special education, you get free counseling. This poor kid is spending at least 5 months in a hospital, suffering! Appropriate punishment, they should have 5 months of community service in a morgue, then spend the rest of their worthless lives in prison. I love kids but I have no sympathy for these little mother f'ers. And if anyone writes to me and says, "Oh, but they're just kids ... they need special help ... we need to look deeper into the problem." Save your finger strength because I'll tell you right now, I don't give a shit.

5) I don't watch the shows, but I think it's funny that each new season of the Bachelor and the Bachelorette features the runner up from the previous season. Is being the runner up really a bad thing? Think about it. If you're a guy who got turned down in season 4, don't sweat it. You get your choice of 25 super hot chicks in season 5!

6) Can someone answer this for me? How the hell did the Kardashian girls become famous? I'm not bashing them, I just don't know. Who the F are they?

7) Captain Lou Albano died. I remember listening to him on the very first WWF Wrestling Album. Jesse Ventura says, "What's Captain Lou Albano gonna do, strum the rubber bands on his face?" That was some funny shit! Peace CLA

8) Miley Cyrus has stopped tweeting! I'm a big fan of hers, but seriously ... who gives a crap? Are media outlets that hard up for material? Shit, they should report that the Visionchild has a future bestseller!

- Scandal = Fame

There's a part of me that wishes I had fame and fortune, but when I hear stories about affairs, extortion, even murder, I'm glad I'm a graveyard shift worker making an hourly wage while spending my days at home with my children.

Obviously, I'm talking about the most recent scandal with someone famous, David Letterman. Since he is the talk of almost every single entertainment story right now, I guess it's my duty to say something. So here it is ... David Letterman had multiple affairs: Are you really that surprised?

This is a complete guess, but I think at least twice a year, someone who we claim to be a flawless entertainer does something stupid that supposedly ruins their reputation. The funny thing is that their reputation isn't ruined at all. In fact, it's the complete opposite. People become intrigued by these stories and if it involves someone that has their own television show, their ratings skyrocket. (Side Note: I waited to post this blog until the ratings came in for his show after everything went down. As I predicted, I was right.)

In a twisted way, doing something stupid will make your career. Look at those two jabronis, Jon and Kate. Would anyone give a crap about them if they were normal? It's a very simple formula, Scandal = Fame. If you do something 'bad' you get the attention you crave. It makes you wonder, do famous people do this shit on purpose? In some circumstances, I think they do. I bet Jon and Kate are sippin a $2,000 bottle of champaign right now, laughing at everyone.

I'm going to list a few names and I bet you ANYTHING that negativity crosses your mind before the positive ... Here we go:

Britney Spears
Lindsey Lohan
Paris Hilton
Chris Brown
Amy Whinehouse
Roman Polanski
Jon and Kate Gosselin

It's too funny to me. Everyone on that list is known for doing stupid shit, yet, they are more famous now than they ever were before. They are the talks of practically every media outlet in existence. Producers are paying top dollar for their pictures and interviews, they're probably going to get E! True Hollywood Stories if they don't already, they'll probably have movies made about their stories ... I could go on forever! I bet they sit around and say, "My career is at a dead end. What can I do? I know! I can start doing mad drugs, or, I can go beat up my girlfriend, or, I can go to rehab about 6,000 times."

As much as I would love my books to enter the best sellers list with a possible movie deal, I have to say that it would be a disturbing world to enter. Why don't we ever hear about someone like Will Smith? He's very successful, he makes great movies, he's one hell of a comedian, he has a good family, a happy marriage. But wait, he hasn't done anything stupid so he's off the media radar. Am I the only one that sees something wrong here? When it comes to the entertainment world, why are 9 out of 10 stories negative? What the F is wrong with us?

Entertainment can be so freakin frustrating. I ask myself every day why I enjoy it so much. Not that I need it, but it's a wonderful reminder of how lucky I am to be ordinary. However, I can safely say that if a film producer wanted my script, I would ask, "How much?"


Random thoughts:

1) I love how the people that don't dance well on DWTS get harsh criticism. I didn't realize you had to be an expert dancer to be on the show. I don't think it's really fair to have someone with over 30 years of dancing experience on the show. It's a freaking sham!

2) I have to say that Jordin Sparks is on the top of my list right now for best voice.

3) Michael Vick gets a TV show on BET. I think everyone should read this blog again ... the defense rests.

4) Rumors that One Life to Live is being cancelled next year. Good, one less show I have to watch. I hate that I like soap operas!

5) My novel, Vision: Evan's Book is now FREE (PDF e-book version). Email me at visionchild77@yahoo.com and ask for it.

- Note to an Anti-SP author

I was reading a blog the other day and I got very angry at it (despite it being 2 years old). I know I shouldn't have been as angry as I got because I'm a firm believer that everyone has the right to express their opinion. Sometimes it's questionable how that opinion is expressed and you can't help but get angry at it, especially when it's personal.

I had to take a few days to calm down before I expressed my opinion on this matter. I had to take the time to remember that there is always two sides to everything. Most of the time, those two sides don't include the truth. The blog in question isn't about truth, despite what that certain someone said, it's about opinion. I respect certain aspects of that opinion, but my response to that opinion is and, appropriately so, What the F?

For those that don't know, I am a self-published author of two thriller novels (one released, one due in Dec.) As a self-published author, it took a little while for me to get over the fact that a lot of readers out there won't give SP writers like me the time of day. I finally understand that. It sucks, but I get it. HOWEVER, when a commercially published author says, and I quote, "Sure, they can MAKE a book. They can typeset it and print it and put a nice cover on it and it will LOOK like a book. It will smell like a book, it will weigh like a book. But it is NOT a book." HAHAHAHAHAHA! You crossed a line in my opinion. Who the F do you think you are?!

Before I go into a much needed rant, I want to say that I've received some criticism in the past about my writing. Most of the time, it was done in a respectful way that enabled me to go back and correct the mistakes I made. I used the criticism to make myself a better writer. It was a great learning experience and I continue to learn all the time. I listen to the advice given by SP writers who have a lot more experience than I do. I have even accepted those very few people that basically told me that I have no talent and I basically suck. It's all good. It sucks you feel that way, but like I said in the first paragraph, you're entitled to your opinion. I'm just psyched that you gave me a chance. As a writer, you have to learn to accept that you can't please everyone. I 100% accept that. It wouldn't make any sense otherwise.

When someone writes in a blog that self-published books are NOT real books, that crosses a line. Tell me my book sucks and you wish you didn't read it. Do NOT tell me that I didn't write a real book! Let me ask that person something, what makes us different? What makes you more of a writer than I am? What makes your book better than mine, or any other SP book for that matter? Is it because you had 20 people read your book and told you it was good? Here's a news flash for you ... so did I ... so didn't countless others. The only difference is that those 20 people that read your book are a part of a special corporation that have the ability to market your book. Is that good? Of course it is. Does that make your book better than a book that isn't chosen to be marketed by a corporation? Absolutely not! Interesting thing I want to add. I took it upon myself to do a little research. When it comes to reader reviews, (based strictly on percentage) my book has a 9% negative review rating, yours has a 40% negative rating. Is your book really better than mine to those that matter, the readers? More specifically, the readers that cared enough to take time out of their busy lives to write a review? But wait, it doesn't matter because my book isn't a real book.

You also go on to say, regarding SP houses, "Those are called VANITY presses. A vanity press is exactly that--a company that TAKES your money and makes your book to assuage your vanity as a writer. Because ANYONE can have their work made into a book. As long as you pay the fee." Sure, in some cases, some SP writers choose to pay a fee to get their book printed - aka, published. Do you really think that you don't pay a much greater fee to be published commercially? Sure, you get some money, but more times than not, you pay with your book. You are giving up the rights to your book. Sure, you wrote it, but it becomes the property of whichever corporation you decide to contract with. But you're right about one thing ... anyone can have their writing made into a book. You just must have forgotten how difficult it is to write a 400 page book that people are willing to read. You're a writer! If I have to remind you how difficult it is to write a book, you're a moron! I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who write books. I KNOW how hard it is, and they deserve to have their books read by anyone who chooses to read it. Writing books probably comes easy for you, and that's great, but have a little respect for people who struggle with it. I do ... I'm one of them.

I can't speak for everyone, but I can safely say that the majority of self-published authors do it by choice, not because their book isn't good enough. It's important to us that we retain the rights to our books, keep 100% creative control, and basically, make all the rules. I can throw in an attack and say that you don't have the confidence in your book that we do in ours. The fact that you are willing to sell out your book for a quick buck makes you a coward ...The fact that you are giving permission to a group of money hungry people to reconstruct your creativity as THEY see fit, means that you are NOT confident in what you created ... Am I going to say that? No. Why? Because I know it isn't true. We're all equal. Writers are writers, period. Books are books, period. Opinions of the stories don't change the facts. We put as much effort into making that story come to life as you did. It doesn't matter if your books are commercialized. Books are going be great, or they're going to suck, despite how you publish. The only difference between us is that you do it for money, which is fine. We do it for the satisfaction that we are providing an entertaining story to whomever wants it. We're not going to let someone dictate whether or not our stories can do that. We're not going to give that power to someone after the sleepless nights, countless hours, and infinite hard work we put into our books. We don't do this for the money, we do it for the readers.

There are many reasons why I didn't seek out commercial publication. Here is a brief list for those that wonder why: No particular order.

1) Decline rate is sky high.

2) Even if accepted, the waiting period is extensive.

3) Loss of creative control.

4) Loss of rights.

5) The Corporation. Why should I let a few people decide whether or not my book is good enough? I KNOW my book is good enough.

6) People like the commercially published writer in question.


Here are the reasons why I self-published:

1) I have 100% creative control.

2) I retain all rights.

3) I decide my timeline.

4) The satisfaction that I did it myself.

5) Whether people like it or not, self-publishing is on the rise.

6) I set the book prices.

7) It's fun!

8) No greed

9) No dictatorship



I think I made my point.



I don't want anybody to think that I have anything against commercial publication. It is a completely respectable business and it has given readers some fantastic books and writers. I don't have anything negative to say about that world, I just choose not to do it. My negativity is directed to the people who believe that self-published authors aren't good enough to be published the old-fashioned way. It's a bunch of crap. I spent hundred of hours away from my family and friends to provide a fun and entertaining book for those that choose to read it. Don't you f-ing tell me that my book is not a book!



Random thoughts:



1) Jon and Kate plus 8 - Now, Kate plus 8 ... LOL! Who gives a crap?

2) Chuck Liddell is totally going to win DWTS!

3) Four gang members caught on tape killing an innocent kid. OK, let's give them a fair trial because they deserve to prove their innocence. You gotta love the judicial system.

4) Do you really need to make a deal on Shark Tank to make your product a success? Isn't just being there good enough?

- Stop Spoiling Shows!

I'm fully aware that this issue can be avoided by simply not listening or reading everything I do. However, if given the option to not spoil something I don't want spoiled, I don't read on or I try not to listen. Often you see a SPOILER ALERT message when something is given away before hand, especially on the net. Thank you to those people that are considerate. But sometimes, especially in our local network in NH, they sneak up on you and bite you in the ass, resulting in ruining the Friday night you look forward to when the kids are asleep and you can cuddle up with your spouse and watch the DVR'd show from the night before that you both have been excited to see for weeks. (Say that extreme run-on sentence out loud in one breath, and you'll feel the frustration) .

I try not to complain without a valid reason, but this morning I reached my breaking point of staying silent. I was very close to contacting the local radio station and saying, "Thanks a lot for ruining the show ... jackasses." I didn't because I dug my own grave. I've been listening to this station/entertainment report for years and I should know better. They constantly give away endings and results before things are even shown on the boobtube. Why I still listen to them? I'm loyal.

Most of us live in the age of the DVR. Some people use DVD recording. Some people watch on the net when they have some free time. Some people, like a relative of mine, still tape shows using a VCR (that's funny as hell!). My point is that most people nowadays don't have the luxury of watching their favorite TV shows when it's aired. Since a lot of the good shows are on after 9pm, we record them to watch the next day, or even the weekend. My wife and I record about 3 or 4 shows per week and try to watch them the next evening, sometimes later, when the kids are in bed and we run out of things to talk about. Sometimes, it even takes us 4 days to watch an hour long show.

I can understand that certain reports are unavoidable, and that's okay. The all too important American Idol and Dancing with the Stars finales are a no-brainer for results reporting. But I think that spoiling the normal weekly TV shows could be done with a lot more discretion. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how to report something without spoiling a much anticipated result. Just say something like, "If you didn't see The Visionchild last night, you missed a good one!" That way, people who have it recorded can still enjoy it, and those people that did watch it, don't care because they watched it, and those people that don't watch it, don't give a crap. Everybody wins! Instead, they say things like, "On The Visionchild last night, Johnny died in a car accident and his wife was kidnapped shortly thereafter. The large man sitting on the park bench that we have seen all season long turned out to be the real killer so Ronnie was innocent all along." Bye-Bye three seasons of excitement and anticipation. The only ones affected are the ones who record the shows ... think about that.

If the DJ's have a desperate need to report something to spoil it, the listeners and the readers should be warned so they can turn down the volume, or not click on the story link. "If you don't want to know what happened, turn down your volumes."

I recently DVR'd the new show Flash Forward. I was looking forward to watching it until the ending was spoiled for me by the DJ's. What made it even better was that they said, "If you didn't see it, there's a rerun on Saturday." Why the hell should I watch it now? You just told me what happened! I feel bad for those people that watch Greys Anatomy because they also gave away everything significant thing that happened on that show, the season premiere no less. I can only hope that people got a chance to see it before they listened to the radio the next morning.

The one spoiler I will never forget was when they gave away the ending to the final Harry Potter book ... the day before it came out. They ruined years upon years of anticipation for so many people in a matter of seconds. Last year, they also gave away the ending of the season finale of LOST (my favorite show) before the finale even aired. Thanks guys, I appreciate it. The funny thing is that I listen to numerous entertainment reports on many different radio stations, and even though obvious entertainment news is reported, I have never heard any other radio DJ's spoil TV shows like the ones I am talking about.

The report lasts about 5 minutes every morning. With the entertainment drama in the world - some fun, some not- can't you guys find one or two additional things to talk about instead of spoiling the things a lot of us look forward to?

If you guys give away the ending of the LOST SERIES FINALE this coming spring, my mouth will no longer stay shut.

Random thoughts:

1) I had to laugh when I heard about the Red Sox fan teacher who made a kid turn his Yankees shirt inside out in school. And people pick on the world of Professional Wrestling.

2) Rumors on Kayne West going to the WWE? If that's true, I hope he gets a few chair shots to his ugly freakin face.

3) An idiot paparazzi suing Britney Spears for $221,000 for running over his foot with a car. If I was her, I would offer him $442,000 if she could run over his other one ... what a dumbass.

4) Sarah Michelle and Freddie had a baby .. nice nice. I actually have a funny story about her.

When I first started going into chat rooms about 10 years ago, I met a girl who claimed to be an actress. When I asked her questions, she was very hesitant about answering them, understandably so. Anyway, the only thing she said to me was that her name was Sarah and she was a famous actress. I then asked her if she had been in anything I may have seen. She responded by telling me, "not likely". She then told me that she played on a soap opera for a little bit and her character was named Kendall on All My Children. HAHAHAHAHA! Little did this girl know, I was a fan of the show during that time. So I responded with, "Do you expect me to believe that I'm talking to Buffy the Vampire Slayer?" Of course she was all like, "What the F? How did you know that?" blah blah blah. We talked for a few more minutes and I pretended it was actually her. We never spoke again after that conversation.
I always wondered if it really could have been her. If someone was in a chat room claiming to be famous, wouldn't she just tell me that she was SMG? or Buffy? Why would she tell a guy who most likely doesn't watch soap operas that she was a character on the show? Anyway, it was a fun bluff to call.

- Props to the Biggest Losers!

My wife and I have been watching The Biggest Loser for the past four or five seasons. (Thank you for having a show that does good things besides entertain me). As much as I admire those contestants for going on the show to literally get their asses kicked into shape, I have a whole new level of respect for them now.

Since my first son was born, I can safely say that--through not fault of his--I slowly got into the worst shape of my life. At one point I was 212 lbs and for those that knew me as the 145 lb broomstick until I was 25 years old, imagine that! I got back down to 185 lbs after doing Weight Watchers for a couple of months. Even though I lost the weight, I was still in pretty bad shape and I have slowly gotten worse ever since.

A couple of weeks ago, my doctor weighed me in at 200 lbs. She also informed me that I need to lose 25 lbs and get in shape, or I'm in for not so good things. When a doctor tells you to get in the gym, it brings a whole new meaning to it.

The next day, I joined a local gym which has 24/7 access. That's perfect for me because I work the night shift and I spend the days with my two sons. Without a 24/7 gym, I don't have the ability to do it.

I'll stop the rambling and get to my point. So far after every workout, I feel like I'm going to die. Just the other day, I walked back to work (gym is across the street), and I came very close to losing consciousness. I had to lie on the floor for almost 10 minutes before I could even stand up.
Every week I watch these 300-450 lb people with type II diabetes and all kinds of heart diseases get their asses handed to them for hours upon hours a day, and they suck it up and do it. I spend 30 minutes every other day without someone screaming in my face, and I want to die.
Even though none of you will probably ever read this. I have nothing but the utmost respect for you Biggest Losers. I would not be able to do what you do, and I'm half your size and much healthier in general. Keep on inspiring the millions of people everyday. Show us weaklings over here what you're f-ing made of!

Random Thoughts:

1) I'm extremely disappointed in my local radio station ... They actually mention Jon and Kate on their opening title song of their entertainment report. Give me an F-ING break!

2) Why the F is the MSNBC website down?

3) MacKenzie Phillips ... read the title of my Blog!

4) Is Jaycee's kidnapper/s dead yet?

5) Looking for book reviews for my second book. Anyone interested?

6) Lady Gaga had the best outfits of all time at the VMA's this year ...LOL!

- Kate Gosselin = New Talk Show?

Are you f-ing kidding me?

First, I want to say that I have never seen, nor have I cared to see, Jon and Kate Plus 8. All I do know is that these two morons have been on the cover of various tabloids and the center of media talk for months with their stupid divorce. Now I can certainly understand divorce. It makes sense when two people who were once in love no longer love each other and blah blah freaking blah, but what those poor 8 kids must be going through makes me sick!

So what do the powers that be do to the poor kids who basically have total jabronis for parents as of late? Let's promote their mother's behavior by giving her a TV show where she will probably make millions of dollars a year and probably win some daytime Emmy's. What does that teach those kids? Act like total ass clowns and you'll get success. If not, that is what the entertainment world is saying. I'm not letting the father off the hook either. Let's also tell the world how many chicks Jon is banging while he should be taking care of his kids. I was the victim of a very nasty divorce battle between my parents when I was the age of the sextuplets. Let me tell you, we were behind the scenes, and I can't tell you what that felt like. I can't imagine what life is like for those kids right now. These kids should not being going through this. It's time for both of these parents to grow the f up!

I guess I can't comment on what I don't hear on the radio or read on the net. They could be the world's greatest parents for all I know. But that's the problem, they're not behind the scenes and they should be right now. The media should not be giving them opportunities to be famous.

I don't know them, but if I was in their situation, I would not drag my children through the mud, as they are doing, whether intentional or not. I can safely say the same for my wife. If our picture ended up on the cover of a tab mag in a negative way so our kids could see it, I would be breaking some arms. She is clearly putting herself in front of her kids, and I'm sorry ... nothing should come before your kids.

You guys have eight kids! Be decent parents and take yourself out of the goddamn spotlight. Put them first for a change. Straighten out your lives. Aren't you famous enough already?

And what I love the most about this corrupt entertainment industry, is that those powers that be: producers, networks, agents, or whoever, are COMPLETELY condoning this behavior. They condone all types of negative behavior. That's why the most screwed up people are the most famous. It's ironic because I eat it up, as does every other fan of the entertainment industry. HAHA, I wonder what that makes me.

Maybe if I cheat on my wife with seven different chicks, get them all pregnant, ditch them all, and commit a violent crime, maybe I will sell more books. Fame and fortune is fascinating ... what a mind job. (For the record, I would never do any of those things. My wife and kids are my everything).

Random thoughts:

1) Michael Emerson totally deserved that Emmy!

2) The never ending discussion of Dancing with the Stars has officially started, yippie freaking hurray!

3) Kudos to TNA management for finally taking the strap off of that toolbox Kurt Angle.

4) I heard rumors of Angelina Love going to WWE. Nice Nice Nice!

5) Are there any other baseball teams in existence besides the Yankees and Red Sox?

6) Big Bang Theory is back and funny as hell!

- What's the meaning of this blog?

Every morning when I'm driving home from work, I listen to the entertainment report from one of our local radio stations. I can't remember the last time I heard a report where I didn't respond with an, "Are you serious?" or "What the F?" or "That is the dumbest thing I ever freaking heard?" or, my personal favorite, "Why the hell are you even talking about that?"

I know that the whole point of these reports is to basically let people into the screwed up lives of entertainers and all of the stupid bullshit they do. But every now and then, I like to hear something good. This morning for example ... Catherine Heigl and her husband got a quick mention for adopting a baby from South Korea (I think). That put a smile on my face and it reminded me how lucky I am to be a parent. I also love to hear some good gossip because I'm a sucker for it. But there's a big difference between gossip and just plain worthless reporting. Do I really give a shit if Amy Whinehouse is going to rehab for a 14th time? Why would reporters waste everyone's time?

I also read all of the entertainment headlines on numerous websites, looking for something fun to read about. I always find something to read and, believe it or not, I get pissed off at what I read all the time. Why do I put myself through this? Why do I put myself in a situation that will undoubtedly put me in a bad mood? It's simple. I do it for the same reason I watched 'Brett Michael's Rock of Love and Daisy of Love ... I'm hooked. I can't help it and I have absolutely no intention of stopping. It's part of who I am and who I will continue to be. As pissed off as I get, it's entertaining and that's what matters.

So, this blog is a place to put that bad mood into writing. I don't know how often I will write on this blog, but whenever something in the entertainment world really gets my blood boiling, you will see a new post. Whether it's something on a TV show (I won't even get into this season of America's Got Talent), a movie, a news report ... anything.

Ronadom thoughts:

1) As big of fan as I was and as sad as it was ... shut the f up about Michael Jackson! Time to move on people. He has been at the top of the entertainment headlines for 4 months, and I am sure that with the huge amount of famous people and bullshit going on out there, there is something else to talk about. He even has his own page on the entertainment section of MSNBC's website!

2) Why haven't they executed Jaycee's rapist/kidnapper? Oh wait, we must be waiting for a trial because he deserves all the civil rights as everyone else has; including his prisoners of 18 years.

3) Do we have to keep on talking about American Idol?

4) I'm never watching America's Got Talent again! No disrespect to the winner, but there were far more deserving people. Time for new judges

5) Don't you all realize that you're giving that toolbox Kayne West everything he wants? As much as I don't like him for being a self-centered, disrespectful ass monkey ... he's a freaking genius! I miss Eazy-E and NWA.


Till next time
