I Want my T.V.!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus Christ, what’s happening to television?……………it is basically one “reality show” after another…..Leno at 10 5 nights a week?……..next week the hiatus over and we’ll be getting a new “Bachelor”, a show about shallow model types, a show about homeland security(which is wrong in so many ways, what?..terrorists don’t have TV?), more fat people losing weight, mamma’s boys, and all the STDTV over on MTV and VH1……is this really what people want? sadly, I think so….have you been out in public lately?…it’s scary as hell…….

Political Ramblings and Pop Culture BS

OK, so first off  I’m very happy with the results of the election…I have a good feeling about America’s future…of course there are some who feel dread and foolishly believe we’re on our way to becoming the soviet union…please…I’ve seen a lot of blogs out there already saying that he lied to us….give it a rest, he’s not even in office yet…..these people though wouldn’t be happy with anything, they’re never satisfied….Hannity, Limbaugh, and the other loons, thank god Cuntier has her jaw wired, keep bringing up all the old tactics that didn’t work in the election….now we have the “Obama’s not a naturalized citizen…” brigade….talk about grasping at straws……these morons wouldn’t be satisfied even if there was video of Obama’s mother giving birth to him on the steps of the capital…..

when will palin go away? if I have to hear her never punctuated, rambling speech pattern one more time I’m going to gouge out my ear drums…..who are these people who think she’s the next coming?….I just do not get it….well, they must not be too swift if they think she’s any kind of leader….

prop 8….once again religion is used as a scare tactic in order to deny rights to a minority group…just like with blacks and women, the bible thumpers used their twisted fairy tales to justify their hatred and bigotry….I believe if there is a god,  these people are in for a rude awakening on judgement day….

what’s going on with TV?….two of my all time favorites, “E.R.” and “Boston Legal” are going off the air and some promising new shows like “Pushing Daises”, “Dirty, Sexy, Money” and “Eli Stone” are not being renewed….and what will we get?…another “Bachelor”…..more god awful reality shows?….is our society really that dumb?……or am I getting older and wiser?….

speaking of tv….Barbara WaWa had her 10 most fascinating show and all I can say is huh?….how does she pick these people?…2 were basically on there to promote their new movies, they did nothing fascinating……also, I watch the View and am getting so sick and tired of her self promoting whoring…..she’s only on now when she’s promoting a special or hocking her friggin memoir…

Alison Moyet

I went to see her live on 10/11/08 in Asbury Park……the show was phenomenal and her voice is stronger than ever…..but that’s not why I’m posting this…..

after the show I waited outside the stage door hoping to get to say hello…..this will probably be her last tour here in the states and I know I’ll never get a chance to meet her again….now, I’ve interacted with her on her website, like many other fans, and she always seemed gracious…..when she first walked out, I felt my heart skip and I could feel my nerves bundling up…..I patiently waited my turn to get a picture and say hello….when I told her my name, it took a minute but she knew who I was from her website and gave me a huge hug…….it felt good…..we chatted for a while and I could tell that she generally cares about her fans and is sincere…….the whole experience was wonderful and made my night complete…..I’ve always been concerned about meeting someone who’s music I’ve admired for the fear that you can catch them on a bad day or they’re just unpleasant and then enjoying their music is tainted…..I’m happy to say that this was definitely not the case here……..thank you Alison, thank you….

Yaz(oo) Live at The Beacon Theater 7/19/08

well, what can I say but wow! this concert was well worth the 25 year wait.  Alison Moyet’s voice is stronger than ever….she’s one of the rare vocalists that sound better live and in this day that’s a rarity…..Vince’s reworking of the sound was incredible as well, it gave each song a fresh feel to it….these songs did not sound dated and could stand up to anything on the charts today….the energy was great in the theater as well……nobody sat down for 99% of the show and sang along to most of the songs………I am so glad that I got the opportunity to see them live and it was an evening that I won’t soon forget…….here are 2 pictures from the evening….

Rosie O’Donnell

her new book came out, I think I’ll get it…….the part about “the view” a small after though, an extension….but that’s all the media cares about….they pick the part they want to focus on, like with everything nowadays…Britney needs to read the book, she needs a celebrity detox……..i saw her trying to order taco bell….swarms of parasites surround her car everywhere she goes…….is this what we crave now, a pic of Britney ordering taco bell? maybe we’re the parasites too……

A Mixed Bag

the president says the moveon.org ad was “disgusting”…no, what’s disgusting is your failed policy getting more soldiers killed needlessly and for what? an  Iraq that will eventually become a theocracy that will hate us……every single soldier that died is your fault alone, your god will punish you, you small insignificant man.

OJ’s back…..more distraction from the real news…another “car chase”…to the airport….the state of our journalists, pathetic.

Sheri Shepard on “the view” wasn’t sure if the world was round….another millionaire genius……

Britney continues to fall, will nobody catch her, stop the enviable…..

the Jena 6…..what’s sad is that when I heard about this I wasn’t surprised, appalled yes, surprised no……..hatred alive and well in America….not surprising..

John McCain is losing his mind….this man would be a horrible president….he looks and acts like the crazy uncle no one talks about, but you have to invite for holidays….
