Random Thought of the Day #4

Lately, every time I open my fridge I feel it's taunting me

Another Trip to Lohan La La Land

I'd hate to do this to everyone but I'm about to make another posting about Lindsay "I'm a celebrity and thus have no consequences to my actions" Lohan.  The latest is that she is supposedly going to be getting out of rehab early now.  Judge Marsha Revel had previously sentenced Lohan to 90 days in a rehabilitation program, but now that Revel has recused herself from the case, Lohan’s sentence could be modified.  “My understanding from conversations with [Lohan’s lawyer] Shawn Chapman Holley is that Miss Lohan could be released early from the treatment facility,” prosecutor Danette Meyers told Radar. “It is looking as if that is what the health care professionals are going to recommend. How much earlier she could be released I’m unsure of at this point.”  Holley told Radar that her client has made significant improvement and would like to return to acting as soon as possible.  "Ms. Lohan looks very good. She looks healthy,” Holley said. “My client is looking forward to returning to work on her many creative endeavors upon her release from the treatment facility."  

Once again the public servants are bowing to these celebrities just because they're famous.  Or in LiLo's case, Quasi-Famous-Semi-Hasbeen.  Oh My god....this judge should be removed from the bench for being so wishy washy. Either punish her or let her off...don't sentence her to do time in jail and a rehab facility then rescind what you just tried to implement.  

A judge, a judge, my kindom for a decent judge

Things I Learned From My First Video Blog

Well...it has been around 24hrs since my first “Video” Blog and I’ve been doing the typical mulling over what the hell I just did.  Reflecting on the whole process, how it came across etc.  Although remarks at my Facebook page have been extremely positive and supportive, being my own worst critic I saw lots of stuff I want to change.  So....on this.....the “Day After” I thought I would share my reflections on the whole thing.  So with that I present

The Things I Learnd From My First Video Blog

1.        I will never get used to seeing or hearing myself on camera.  Even though I enjoyed the end result and felt it wasn’t terrible for a first time, it’s still a frickin weird feeling to be editing a video that has my moon-sized face staring back at me.

2.       It’s very intimidating to be sitting in front of a camera, even alone in my own basement with nobody else around, I found myself feeling very self conscious and very self aware.  Thoughts like ”is this stupid?” “is this funny?” “will people think I’m a narcissistic douche for even trying it” were running through my head the entire time.  I’ve always been more of a “behind the scenes” sort of person and have, frequently, been behind the camera but rarely have I ventured in front.  Kind of gives me a new respect for the men and women who do on camera and modelling work as their careers.  It’s hard.

3.       Adlibbing even a few sentences and trying to sound intelligible is way harder than I thought it would be.  I’m not a public speaker by any stretch of the imagination, but I consider myself a fairly outgoing and easy going person and figured it would be a piece of cake.  Not so much.  I stumbled on words, ummed and aaaahed my way through my spiel  and, as an added bonus, with all the stuff going through my head in point #2 made really hard to not sound like a blabbering fat-head.  Next Video blog (if there is one...who am I kidding..there probably will be) will either be scripted fully or at very least have point-form notes for me to refer to.  Hopefully it will make editing easier and make the Video Blogs better and funnier as that is my main goal...to Entertain.

4.   I have a big head...perhaps a collection of various hats can be used to combat the problem?

Well that’s what I’ve learned so far...I suppose eventually I will get better and/or find more things to criticize about myself...for now this will do. 

Stay Tuned for further updates...both written and visual :)

Miley Cyrus....Role Model?

Ok...allow me to get on my soapbox for a minute here.  A Year or two ago,famed photographer Annie Leibovitz took some pictures of Miley Cyrus for Vanity Fair.  In those pictures she was topless but covered with a sheet and in my opinion looked great and was a beautiful photograph  as you can see here...

People went mental saying how wrong it was and how this girl is supposed to be a role model for young girls and it's too provocative and they even went as far as to call it "Child porn" in some cases.

Fast Forward to the 2010 Much Music Video Awards, which were held in Toronto last night with a now 17 year old Miley as host.  She opened the show with this conservative ensemble....

Ummmm....what?  How is this better?  What kind of example is she setting for todays young girls by getting her stage outfits at the same stores that "Mercedes" the local stripper gets her clothes?  I'm sorry but the whole double standard needs to stop.  Either she's a wholesome child star or a sex-pot-pop star.  If a bear back was too provocative for 15-16 year old Miley...how is this sexually charged outfit any better for the 17 year old version.  I wonder how long it will be before she trainwrecks a-la Lindsay Lohan?  it's all a matter of time.

Climbing down now :)

Stupidity of the Average Consumer

Ok...I can’t believe this

They are now selling Hands free soap dispensers in the supermarkets.  I just saw one of these things yesterday that was available to purchase.  How stupid are people that they would buy this product.  Let me explain

Prevention magazine reported that hand soap dispensers are one of the top 10 worst places that bacteria grow.  And they recommend that you scrub more vigorously and even use alcohol based hand sanitizers afterwards to battle this.

I’m not sure but am I the only one who sees this for what it is...pure crap.  Yes true..dirty hands touch soap dispensers all the time so they leave behind bacteria and germs for the next person.  But think about it.  After you touch the soap dispenser what do you do...YOU WASH YOUR HANDS, effectively eliminating any germs and bacterial you may have picked up along the way.  That dispenser could be caked with poop and baby snot and you would still have clean hands after you finished.  Is the average consumer that dumb that they don’t realize this??

As an aside, I played baseball last night for the first time in 2 years...I hurt today

I’m not liking where the next couple of days are headingL
