Politics & Friends Don't Mix!!

Have you ever got in a conversation with a friend and it started to turn ugly over something ridiculous like politics? That is definitely a no win situation. Especially if you get into it with a family member. Listen, I think everyone has probably seen the clips of The View, the argument between Elisabeth & Rosie. All I can say is with two strong minded individuals going at it like that, there is no way either of them will listen to each other. Life is too short, let's move on ladies!

Kids. Music. Beyond Bad!!

So i do a little deejaying on the side and i have played for several dances at the school where my mom works. So sometimes the kids give me lists of songs that they want to hear. Sometimes it's a good dance where alot of the kids will dance and sometimes it's mostly the girls. It's 6th, 7th & 8th grade. They also slow dance like robots (it's pretty funny to watch). Anyway, I played this song, "Chain Hang Low by Jibbs. (He's a young rapper maybe 16 yrs.) The kids screamed like they just met Shaun Cassidy. (Oh wait, that's who I would've screamed for) so anyway they begin to sing the little rap on top of their lungs. It's a catchy tune, "May your chain hang low, let it wobble to the flo', does it shine in the light, is it platinum or gold" to a familiar tune. blah blah blah...They kept coming up to me and saying, can you play all these sexual type of songs. Did i mention this was a Catholic school as well? This week the big requester is, "This is the Way I Live" by Baby Boy da Prince. Oh my god. This song absolutely sucks! It's probably one of the worst songs I have ever heard. The guy sounds like he's barely opening his mouth. But yes I will play it because I found a clean version on the internet. I am always weary of playing the clean version of songs as well. You always can hear a little bit of whatever was supposed to be cut out. I always tell my freinds that a bunch of us should get together and put out a song. Almost anyone these days is cutting a record. There are so many untalented singers making songs that kids become immune to how terrible the music actually is. Thank god for people like Jack Johnson, Ben Folds and Guster. I love you and I always will. You guys are my savior! If I am having a bad day, I turn you on and remember the good times. Of course I love other music but that would be way too many to mention. But you 3 are my true faves. Thank you for being there!

Soldiers Missing

So on the news one of the soldiers missing from Iraq that has been captured by Al-Queda is from next door Massachusetts. I pray for him and his family. The Al-Queda are evil and don't show mercy and there isn't any negotiating with terrorists no matter what some people in the media think. They hate America and everything we stand for. I just wish we would leave Iraq and the Iraqi Army could defend themselves. And I also heard the story about how American soldiers still have proper equipment over there. I think i had heard that about 3 yrs. ago and they still dont have the right equipment? Come on Government! What the hell is wrong with you?

Smallville

Season Finale night. Smallville was so good. Is Lana really dead? Probably not because she's in the comic books. Is Chloe really dead? Just might because she's a made-up character but i hope not. I love how there are 2 Clark's but he also reminds of Clark on Red Kryptonite. Hmmm. Can't wait for next season!!!

Paris Hilton Going To Jail

Although I don't believe she should actually be in jail, I am not broken hearted about it either. I would never sign a petition saying she provides "beauty and fashion" to the world. what the hell is that? But i do think some people walk around this earth thinking they are better than everyone else. No one can be that ignorant? Or can they? The average American does not get special treatment for traffic violations especially DUI, so why should someone of affluence benefit from the same fate? Maybe this is a wake-up call or maybe another chapter in a forthcoming book...

Tyra Banks and my rambles

Ok, this is not a mean post cause I actually like Tyra (sometimes). I look at her and think wow she does a lot of great things for people and seems like she is a really nice person BUT... the way she is on that talk show is sooooo over the top. Woke up wednesday morning at 2:00am and the tv was on and Tyra's show was on. The topic was transgender people who date and their significant others were on. Her facial expressions and reactions are just annoying to me. Who knows? And of course I watch the model show just to make fun of it, of ocurse. But i really want that Natasha to win. And could someone tel those girls that not everyone wears a wedding ring? They base Natasha's marriage being fake by not wearing a wedding ring? Tell that Meredith Viera fromt he Today Show who doesn't wear one as well. I'm just rambling now. Must get ready for work....

American Idol & other things on TV

So last night LaKisha got the boot. I can't say I'm surprised because she's been building this momentum of bad performances intertwined with a few good ones. She was one of my favorites but now they are down to the final 3. I actually voted this week for the first time this year. I got through 3 times for Jordin. I really hope she wins because Melinda, being the professional singer that she is, doesn't really need the win in my opinion. Blake he's all set with his beat boxing thing happening. And i'm sure Paula Abdul will do anything to help him out (wink, wink) Hey, she practically jumps out of her skin when she's performing and gives him great comments when he clearly sucks! Blake, you should have never have cut that hair. Much cuter before. Oh well and can we talk about Lost for minute? Please tell me that John Locke isn't going to die because he is one of the most interesting characters on that show! And what is with the invisible Jacob character? We only have 2 more shows to figure that one out until January.

Any Lost fans out there?

Now I now there are tons of Lost fans out there? But where have you been this season? Maybe you are 'Lost" (hahaha) As I read the reviews on various sites, it says the fans have gone away mostly due to last year's crappy season and now the recent time change due to the American Idol ratings (we'll discuss that show some time soon). I have to tell you, I think this season is pretty good. I just wish they would show some of the other characters. Now where is Rose & Bernard? Are they off gathering food? Is Rose still cancer free? Maybe those are the two that they will kill off? No one seems to mind that they are gone anyway. Where's the French woman? Should Sayid and her hook-up? Too many questions and so little time till the end of this season. I hope the finale is good because I keep reading it will be really great. Let's hope so!!
