Lets Stop Hating K-Fed (My Last K-Fed Post)
In the latest issue of People magazine K-Fed insits its okay if everyone hates him. He states, "If you want to hate me, cool, hate me. You know why? Because all it’s going to do is help me" Although marrying a famous pop star does not make you talanted K-Fed might have a point, his nortorious behavior has brought him some fame. Law & Order and CSI have both based roles on him. So if we want this retard to go away I suggest we stop hating him and start ignoring him.

Crazy Hasselbeck
Oh that crazy Elizabeth Hasselbeck! I enjoy watching the View from time to time and when she joined the cast I was only mildly annoyed. For the most part I have a good laugh whenever she tries to make a political statement and watching her debate against Rosie is always fun. That Rosie is so vicious; Elizabeth does not stand a chance.
However the tolerance I had for Elizabeth broke today when she went on the show accusing Law & Order of being socially irresponsible for using a name that was similar to hers on a rape victim for the show. First of all the characters name was Elizabeth Hassenbach not Hasselbeck and that is where the similarities end. I mean I could see if the character was an annoying talk show host with a right wing agenda where she might have gotten this crazy idea the Law & Order was making fun of her but the show did not do anything like that. Elizabeth only fixated on the similarity of the character’s name and actually stated that she is the only person in the world (except for maybe a few in Germany) that has the name Elizabeth Hasselbeck, therefore the show must have been targeting her.
Being the self righteous woman that she is she explained how she called the executive producer of Law & Order to chastise him for using her name (again it was not actually her name it only sounded like her name.) Not surprisingly the guy chalked it up to coincidence and hung up on her. Still reeling from not being heard and respected she went on this outrageous rant on The View about how even though she likes the actors that come out in Law & Order she will not sit next to one of them if they come on the View because she feels she will be supporting the executive producer of Law & Order if she does that.
The whole idea that she is a big enough star that Law & Order would intentionally pick on her just left a bad taste in my mouth but what really got me mad is that she would use what little ‘star-power’ she has in order take out her anger on innocent bystanders. I am sorry but that is just wrong and one of her co-host should be strong enough to pull her off her high horse.

Oh Snap
Wesley Snipes was accused of tax fraud yesterday. Apparently he has failed to file tax returns for the past six years and he also allegedly tried to cheat the government out of 12 million dollars in false refund claims. He could face a maximum of 16 years in prison if convicted. He has not been arressted yet because the authorities don't know where he is! That is some shady shit.
Movie Recomendation: Singles
Oh how I wish I could have fully enjoyed the grunge scene. By the time I turned 12 it was all over. Still I have very fond memories of staying up late watching Alternative Nation and telling my friends I was going to marry Bill Corgan. However nothing makes me yearn more for the good old grunge days of the early 90’s like this movie.
Singles follows a group of twenty-something year olds living in Seattle during the height of the grunge era. Although the movie is not too deep, it is very entertaining and it does feature plenty of cool music. Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder also share a small part.
I really enjoyed watching this movie because it shows a picture of a period in time where grunge still ruled.

When Did This Happen?

Random High School Memory
My sophomore year of high school had recently begun when my school started making a big fuss about a special school assembly featuring a special guest speaker. The name of the special guest speaker was never mentioned but rumors that the person was famous begun to circulate. The day of the assembly came and the entire student body was called in to the auditorium. When the principal made his speech and announced the guest speaker everyone was left shocked and horrified. Our special guest speaker was none other than Steven Seagal. Sure he was once famous but I went to high school in the late 90’s, by then Steven Seagal was a washed up has-been. The crowd was not very receptive, I could hear some students behind me angrily jeering about how lame Steven ‘Seagull’ was.
As Steven took the stage, I could tell by his bloated demeanor and his slurred speech that this assembly was going to be priceless. His speech was one rambling mess of slurred inconsistencies. By the look on his face I could tell he did not want to be there and he kept making matters worse by trying to casually look down at his wristwatch to see how much time he had left. He talked about staying in school and saying no to drugs. He even threw in a few karate kicks to try to impress the apathetic crowd of students but his actions were futile as the only reaction he got from the students was a mix of awkward laughter.
I have to say the one and only highlight of the assembly was a hilarious mishap. Steven being the macho karate master he is, tried to show a young and rather wimpy male student a blocking technique but he miscalculated the students punch and ended up getting socked in the face. The crowd went wild with laughter and for a split second there I thought Steven was going to sock the student back but he didn’t. The student was quickly ushered off stage and the assembly ended shortly there after. My only regret is that I did not have a camera to record this hilarious event so that I could show you guys.

What Tempermant Are you?
You Have a Melancholic Temperament |
You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you. Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace. You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life. Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you. You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others. You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult. |

Another Family Party
My mom tricked me! A few days ago my mother very sweetly, called to inform me about another family party that was going to take place over this weekend. I came up with my usual excuses as to why I could not attend the party and she seemed to accept this.
However, the day of the party comes and my mother gives me another call, “Hi honey I just wanted to know if you want to go shopping with me today.”
“Sure I am always up for shopping.”
So I go shopping with my mom completely forgetting about the party later on that night. However my mom reminds me about the party by saying “I have to buy a gift for your cousin after all it is his birthday today and the poor thing is probably not going to have anyone show up for his party.” I know where this is going and I am prepared for it. “Mom I really can’t go to the party I have a big test I need to study for.” “That’s fine I am probably not going either” She says but yet she still buys a present for my cousin.
After we leave the mall my mom kindly asks me to go with her to drop off my cousins present. It is still early and no one will be there she says trying to convince me to go. So I reluctantly go with her and when we arrive surprise, surprise the party has already started. I give my mom a mean look but she swears that she had no idea the party started so early. “We’ll just drop of the present and leave I promise.” She says and so I am tricked to go to yet another hostile family party.
For the most part most of my family behaved well. Only two of my older girl cousins, who I have never got along with, give me trouble. I think they are just jealous of the fact that I am getting somewhere in life and they are not.
“So you still work at the same place?” cousin Number 1 says.
“Yes. I am still working and going to school.”
“I was thinking about going back to school to join the nursing program but I just got a new job with a big pay raise so I don’t school is a priority at this point.”
I try my best to politely smile but I know she is just itching to get under my skin.
“I just got an internship working with the DEA. So when I graduate from college I’ll have some connections and I’ll be making good money in no time. How long until you graduate?" Cousin Number 2 asks. What she really means is how long until you’ll be making more money than both of us combined.
“Well I have about a year left until I get my Bachelors but the real money won’t come until after I graduate from Medical School.” I regret saying this immediately. I have secretly been making plans to go to Medical School for some time now but I hate sharing this with my extended family. They are not very supportive and if I don’t go threw with my plans I will never live it down.
“I thought you were just going to school for a psychology degree!” Cousin Number 1 says.
“Actually I’ve always planned on becoming a psychiatrist, so I have to go to medical school.”
They both look stunned and mad but they both shut up immediately. I got them off my case temporarily but now I know that by the end of this day my whole family will know about my future plans and when my family becomes intimidated by someone’s success they become hostile and downright nasty towards them. I have a feeling I have only made matters worse for myself.
When I leave the party (an hour after I arrived) I catch a glimpse of cousin number one crying. Cousin number two is trying to consol her but when they look up and see me staring at them they both give me nasty looks. This is only the beginning.
On the way home I casually ask my mom about cousin number 1’s new job only to find out she is still working at the same place. As for cousin number 2’s internship, she just started her first semester at the local community college so I doubt her story about the internship is true. Oh boy I can tell the situation between me and my cousins is going to get ugly real fast.
