ACTUALLY now that I look at today's headlines I have changed my mind and decided that I definitely have a LOT to say about them!
First on the chopping block: Abandoning your kids at a restaurant.
Okay. So I know there's a freakishly immoral hospital where you can dump your kids and NOT call it abandonment...but that is NOT this restaurant. I mean I guess if you're GONNA abandon your kids it is nice to order them pizza before you go...But what's next?
"Yes I'll have the day's special, annnnnd those three german kids over there." BAM new family. Not at all cool. How do you run out of money that fast, that on the WAY to the coast you're like, "wow. we're suddenly really broke....did NOT see that one coming. I mean yesterday we had 10 whole dollars....well let's ditch the kids." It makes no sense to me. Then again neither does running from parole. Which is also something they did. Classy.
Second up: Susan Boyle.
Here's the big topic everyone's talking about. I guess I would be the controversial one to say I wasn't that thrilled with her.
Yes, people were unfairly and openly rude to her to begin with just because she is a little on the odd side....and YES she shocked everyone....but really...I didn't think she was THAT amazing. Also, call me evil or whatever, but something tells me the whole, "I live with my cats, and have never kissed a boy" thing is just a little TOO cliche to be true. Though not hard to believe considering her...Susan Boyle-ness. Anyways there was a headline today about Simon Cowell being "Embarassed" and "fed up" with her. I read the article expecting something scandalous and juicy like...she abandoned her kids in a restaurant and ran from parole officers. Or pulled an Ashlee Simpson or something like that. But get this. Here's the BIG STORY.
Simon told her to get it together for the final round because she's going to have to raise the bar AGAIN etc etc etc. Same thing we've heard 10,000,000 times on American Idol, Britain's Got Talent, America's Got Talent, So You Think You Can Dance, or even just in high school. Scanadalous. In summary: Susan Boyle=Crazy (staged?) cat lady who can sing really loudly and say weird thing on t.v. And didn't do ANYTHING interesting. Again.
Three: "Why do siblings need to fight?" was the headline on one MSN story today.
There seems to be a whole study on it.
Why? I can answer that question right here in one sentence.
Because we despise eachother.
But really. Actually. Seriously. Who else are we going to fight with who will still be there when it's all over? Friends are free to go anytime. Family's stuck with you no matter how many shoes you throw at eachother.
Four: Hitler's artwork.
So. Now people are wondering how much his art is worth. A couple pieces were recently auctioned off for $42,000 total. Well THAT would have been SUPER handy back when he actually painted them. How about supporting an evil genius artist BEFORE he starts a holocaust? For someone as CLEARLY insecure as Hitler was, I'm sure it was no help that he was ridiculed and everyone called his art crap. I would much rather have crap paintings in my house than nazi's. So basically this auction is all good and such, but just about...oh I don't know...NINETY FIVE YEARS TOO LATE. Maybe all he wanted was to be a great painter. When that didn't pan out...He thought he'd try King of the World for a while. By violent force.
Just a thought.
Next time you see a struggling artist, tell him he's a genius even if he sucks. He might try and take over the world someday in the place of artwork. Everyone knows artists are generally mentally unstable in some way.
