What is wrong with these people?

What the hell is wrong with these people?

Any story involving a missing child is heartbreaking. But this story comes with an extra dose of heart wrenching horror:

http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/2009/11/05/crimesider/entry5535680.shtml

The child's mother gave (gave??) this baby to her baby-sitter. This little angel was found in a box, under the baby-sitter's bed. She was obviously not meant to make it out alive...why else would she be stuffed in a box and hidden behind junk, like a box of Christmas decorations?

FORTUNATELY, baby Shannon did survive. She is now in protective custody with her cute little self. Hopefully, she will be placed in a loving home, and never see her mother again.

Why is it so easy for assholes like this to reproduce?

Happy Freakin' Father's Day!

Okay, okay, I get it! I didn't post the Father's Day rant as promised. Actually, I posted it to my Facebook page, but apparently that wasn't good enough for you!

As a side note, please notate that this list turned out to be a death list! Two of the gents passed after I wrote this!

Because I told you I would, I present to you...

As an alternative to the sappy Father's Day clap trap (you know I love you daddy!!!)...10 FATHER'S I HATE (OR GREATLY DISLIKE)... in no particular order or level of dislike :

Charles Rothenberg - This happened in Orange County in 1983...This "father" set his 6 year old son David afire in a hotel room and left him there to die...which he did not. I was roughly the same age as David when this happened, and I remember his story was constantly retold over the years as he went to elementary school, then middle school, then high school. I met him a few times and he was the nicest, most grounded guy.

Scott Peterson - This should be pretty much self-explanatory. He murdered his wife and unborn son on Christmas Eve 2003. Of course, I don't know the real story, but as an outsider looking in...it appeared that he had the world in his hands - a beautiful wife, a son on the way, a newly discovered half sister. Who knows what made him snap, but it was truly tragic.

Chris Benoit - The pro wrestler who killed his wife, his son, and then himself in 2007. Another truly tragic situation. I understand firsthand the crippling effects of depression...but still can't fathom what he did.

"Grandpa Al" - the child molesting sack of crap from Dr. Phil. The episodes with him were so sickening and heart wrenching that I actually can't watch Dr. Phil anymore. He should not have exposed an entire family's pain on TV for his own gain. Blech, disgusting.

Let's lighten things up a bit...

Tom Cruise - okay, I realize that he is not a murderer or a maniac (that I know of) but he is phenomenally annoying. His constant death grip on his wife's arm alludes to his self-esteem issues, but his giant open mouth smiles and couch jumping make me forget that I ever loved him...my beloved Jack from Legend, who made me want to find my 'true love's kiss.'

Michael Jackson - I grew up in the Age of Michael Jackson...when he was still Black, had a nose, and was not crazy. He was the voice of my generation; plus he inspired the Michael Jackson phase of my fantasy-future-husband Corey Feldman. My daddy took my brother Todd & I to Disneyland on a day that MJ happened to be there. Like the 100's of other crazed fans, we waited outside of Matterhorn forever to catch a glimpse of him. Unfortunately, his security guards were each the size of a smoke stack from the Titanic, so we only got tiny glimpses of him as one of the smoke stacks knocked my dad down. That tarnished his star a tad for me...some years later he dangled his son over a balcony, in addition to giving his kids names like Prince and Blanket. I could go on and on. The man is bat shit crazy. But I still love him!

Mel Gibson - Who woulda thunk that hunky Sergeant Riggs would turn into a drunk, cheating, crazy, Anti-Semite who destroys his marriage by knocking up a Russian waitress? This stuff is too good to make up!

John Gosselin - don't get your panties in a wad, I dislike Kate just as much! No wonder he cheated...he is an emasculated shell of a man. I just don't get people wanting their entire lives put out there on the idiot box.

Dumb men who play dumb dads in commercials - seriously? You couldn't tell it was a diet hot pocket, fat free yogurt, etc?

Billy Mays - does he have kids? I don't know, I haven't fact checked this one. Nonetheless, I can't stand him! The last thing that makes me want to buy any product is a big hairy mountain man screaming at me!


There you have it guys...10 men who suck.

Happy freakin' fathers day!

Happy freakin' mother's day!!

As an alternative to the sappy Mother's Day clap trap that will be floating around this weekend, I present to you...10 MOTHER'S I HATE (OR GREATLY DISLIKE)... in no particular order or level of dislike :

1. Holly Ashcraft - the USC student who dumped her baby in a dumpster...self explanatory
2. Ashley Truitt - this girl didn't just dump her baby in the trash. She dumped her baby down a hotel's trash chute...giving the baby zero chance of survival
3. Nadya Sulemon - why is she marketing the "octomom" image? Is she not the mother of 14?
4. Bristol Palin - seriously!
5. Britney Spears - "I'm country" this gum popping, beer swilling, vagine flashing tart is the role model for:
6. Jamie Lynn Spears - hey ya'll watch my Nickelodeon special where we promote statutory rape and teen pregnancy
7. Angelina Jolie - gasp! This is just a mild level of dislike - why can't she adopt an American baby?
8. Courtney Love - shot heroin while pregnant
9. Madonna - why does she insist on stealing other people's kids?
10. My crack whore neighbor - sadly, that title is not meant as an insult...it is a truthful description. My neighbor is a crack head who sells her body in the alley behind our houses....and sometimes in front when she's really desperate for a hit. She lives in a tough shed in her mom's backyard. She craps in a bucket and "cleans" said bucket in the alley. She has 3 kids who were taken away from her and live with her sister...and...drumroll...she recently gave birth to baby #4. Social services? Don't ask. This is South Central Los Angeles...trust me, they don't care.

Tune in next month, for the top 10 FATHER'S I HATE (OR GREATLY DISLIKE) rant!

What is up with all the Danny Gokey Haters? - Yahoo! TV Blog

What is up with all the Danny Gokey Haters? - Yahoo! TV Blog

I find it really interesting, and disheartening, that people are hating on Danny Gokey, and insinuating that he is using his grief to "win votes" from America. Maybe people are voting for him because, well, he can sing! He does not fit into the girly haired, skinny jeans wearing, teeny bopper pop crap that American's have had shoved in their ears the past several years. Personally, I think it's refreshing to hear someone sing about love...when they've actually been in love. Nothing irritates me more than a 14 year old singing about heartbreak.

As a married woman, I can tell you that if my husband passed away, I would be a complete wreck. I don't even want to think about it. If singing is what is keeping Danny Gokey sane, what the hell is wrong with that? It's only been seven months since he lost his wife...have a little compassion people!

Maybe the real question should be...why are you even taking American Idol seriously? Isn't it purely entertainment? Do you seriously gauge "new artists" by depending on an angry Brit, a talentless hack, and a former Journey-man to tell you what/who to listen to? After winning the Idol crown, the majority of the past winners have been stripped of what made America love them in the first place, and turned into seemingly soulless, mind-numbing cover artists. I've watched the show every season...but have yet to buy any of the albums that have spawned from the contestants.

Think for yourself people!

I'm having an affair!

This may come as a shock to you but, it's true...I'm having an affair.

This torrid romance started in December. The sound of his voice is so comforting...he gets me there so fast! He is addictive...I am so in love! I'm with him on the way to work, on the way home, sometimes on my lunch hour, on the weekends. Basically, any time I'm not with DenDen, I'm running off with my new love. My mom has met him and loves him too...she even introduced us on Christmas!

Who is this home-wrecker, you ask? It's my TomTom! http://www.tomtom.com/

Heehee! Gotcha!!! You can stop hating me now! :)

Letting go of past hurts / Speaking up and out

Namaste!

I’m still walking along on my journey to Buddhism. One of the things I’m having a hard time with on my path to enlightenment is letting go of past hurts. My teacher has drilled it into my head that we all suffer, and to let it go. So here I am, letting go!

December 8th was my 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF FREEDOM! It was exactly 10 years that I ended an abusive relationship. I have kept the level of abuse hidden from my friends and family for 10 years. It has been a poison coursing through my veins and eating away at me for so long. There are times when I’m with my girlfriends or sisters and I want to just blurt it out! People always ask me why I look mad or sad…it’s because I’ve been to hell and back! The only person who knows the whole truth is my hubby, Dennis. (It’s hard to keep secrets when you have nightmares and talk in your sleep!) I put up with mental, verbal, and sexual abuse for far too long. Many times I wanted, and tried, to walk away, but ended up going back. The night that ended it all was the night he beat the shit out of me. Looking into the eyes of someone you love as they sit on your chest choking you truly is the stuff nightmares are made of. I fought back, and walked away for good. That bastard got away with what he did to me because of fear of retaliation if I went to the police.

I think the reason I am still plagued with these poisonous thoughts and nightmares is because I feel like I never really had closure. Yes, I know I walked away, so technically, that is closure. But I never got to tell him what a little-dick, lousy lay, ignorant, dumb fuck, piece of shit he is. I have no idea where he is now, and I don’t care, but I hope it’s in an 8’x8’ prison cell where he enjoys a nightly ass-raping by his roommate, Bubba. (Yeah, I’m not a full on Buddhist yet, so it’s ok that I just said all that!!)

WHEW! I feel SO MUCH better!!

I’d like to thank Dennis for being such a WONDERFUL, CARING, SUPPORTIVE, husband. Love you, you’re the best!

Been a long time since I rock & rolled 2 / Yes we can, yes we did! / What have you done for me lately?

Can you believe that I, as someone who was so gung-ho about November’s historic election, let said election and subsequent inauguration go by without even a comment?!? The truth is, I have been crazy busy both personally and professionally, so I haven’t had time to blog. But I’m here to quench your thirst with a Cliff’s Notes version of the events.

So…election night! I was a total TV zombie…I was stuck like glue. I had never been that excited about an election before. In the past, I would go to bed like any other night and wake up in the morning asking “so who’s the new president?” Not 2008! When Obama was named the President Elect, I cried like the sissy that I am! My whole neighborhood let out one big, collective “woohoo!” and set off fireworks and had champagne. It was truly a “we are one” kind of moment.

It was pretty much the same for the inauguration…more tears, more champagne, more “woohoo’s”!! I’m filled with the kind of hope that I haven’t had since the Clinton administration. No, I am not an Obama sheep that thinks he can do no wrong. I’m just really hopeful that he will make some positive changes in this country…I’m fed up with the crimes and poor leadership of the past 8 years of the Bush administration (or rather, the past 4 years of the Bush Administration preceded by 4 years of the “Bush” - stolen from Gore - Administration, since he was technically only elected once.)

On that note, as much as I hope for the best for the Obama Administration, I will say that I think he needs to cut down on his quest for full bipartisanship. The Republicans have been allowed to run our economy, and country, into the ground with their failed policies for 8 years. The reason I voted for a Democrat was to end their tyranny. Now is not the time to coddle; it’s time to kick ass and take names. He can use his second term to play hands across America.

So that brings you up to date on my two cent politics. I’ll try to write more in 2009!

Happy Christmahannukwanzabuddhaka and Happy New Year!
