My Sick Mind

You have a way of making everything you say seem unreal. Are you aware that the people who care are mostly stainless steel? - Michael Nesmith "Writing Wrongs" I don't get it. Of course, closing in on 52 years old makes me somewhat of a non-factor in the grand scheme of money and marketing, but still... I just finished reading an article saying that Miley Cyrus was done with Twitter . I know - find a hobby, right? She said that the social networking site was robbing her of her privacy. Duh. What did she think it was for? My guess is that she initially saw it as a marketing tool but later found it to be a tool in general. "Everything that I type and everything that I do, all the lame gossip sites take it and they make it news," she continued. "I want my private life private... I'm living for me." Good idea. I'm caught up in this odd juxtaposition of what people want to know and what I want to tell them. Some people have no such conflict and p...

Even though I have no idea who these people are, they apparently have some sort of TV show. I'm guessing that by now, if you do not have a TV show you are in the minority. Anyway, there's some cockamamie show called "18 Kids and Counting" which in itself is a title that encourages more offspring. It's on The Learning Channel. Somebody needs to tell me what they're "learning" over there, besides clamping your uterus shut. OK, so here's the big news: The brood is about to grow again in 2010 , as Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are expecting their 19th child in the spring. I think, after 7 children, you could be said to suffer from some form of mental illness. After 18, you could be classified as legally insane and a danger to those around you. Seriously, there are too many people in this country to begin with, and something like this should be illegal. Unfortunately, our ridiculous notion of freedom includes the freedom to have intercourse at will ...

So, the David Letterman intern sex scandal (should those have all been capitalized?) is the big news story. Big news: High-powered, highly paid TV star has sex with young women. Whew! We really blew the lid off libido, didn't we? Wake the kids and phone the neighbors. Maybe I'm jaded, but I can't get worked up over the idea that people enjoy sex. What I can get worked up over is that I can't seem to find anyone who enjoys it as much as high powered, highly paid TV stars. The world seems to revolve around me. Meanwhile, Dave seems to be using the thing for the sake of his little late night talk show deal. Rather than let it lie, he keeps bringing it up to the point of apologizing to his wife on the TV. Wouldn't an in-person apology suffice - or be preferable? Methinks it would if he weren't using it for the proliferation of his TV show. Now I'm not sure who is being used here - him, us or his interns. Better yet, who cares? People (and celebrities in gener...

Kitty came home tonight.   Albeit in a small velveteen burgundy container, but home nonetheless. It's where he belongs.   I'm not sure where he'll rest, but for now he's on an end table next to the TV where I can keep an eye on him.   Yes, I can open the box but no , I'm not gonna.   I've decided that when I die (soon, I hope) I'm going to have our ashes mixed together and strewn about somewhere.   It's a little morbid, I guess, but then life is a little morbid, so he seems to fit right in.   Welcome home buddy.
