Kanye West: The Biggest Tool or Bully?




Kanye West has got to be the biggest tool or bully out there! After Taylor Swift won for best female award, and she was up there giving her speech, Kanye being the bully he is takes her mic and her moment and proceeds to stick his foot in his mouth and spout off stupidness.

Now I don't know if he was drunk or what, but this has been the 3rd meltdown by a person in the public in the last week. First it was Wilson and his outburst against Obama, and then Serena Williams losing her mind, though I can see being caught in the moment when you're about to lose, and now Kanye.

Now he tried to apologize, but it truly was a pitiful apology in my opinion.
Here is the apology from the man himself:
"I'M SOOOOO SORRY TO TAYLOR SWIFT AND HER FANS AND HER MOM. I SPOKE TO HER MOTHER RIGHT AFTER AND SHE SAID THE SAME THING MY MOTHER WOULD'VE SAID,"
"SHE IS VERY TALENTED! I LIKE THE LYRICS ABOUT BEING A CHEERLEADER AND SHE'S IN THE BLEACHERS! ....................... I'M IN THE WRONG FOR GOING ON STAGE AND TAKING AWAY FROM HER MOMENT! ................"
"BEYONCE'S VIDEO WAS THE BEST OF THIS DECADE!!!! I'M SORRY TO MY FANS IF I LET YOU GUYS DOWN!!!! I'M SORRY TO MY FRIENDS AT MTV. I WILL APOLOGIZE TO TAYLOR 2MRW,"
"WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!!! EVERYBODY WANNA BOOOOO ME BUT I'M A FAN OF REAL POP CULTURE!!! NO DISRESPECT BUT WE WATCHIN' THE SHOW AT THE CRIB RIGHT NOW CAUSE ... WELL YOU KNOW!!!! I'M STILL HAPPY FOR TAYLOR!!!! BOOOYAAAWWWW!!!!"
"YOU ARE VERY VERY TALENTED!!! I GAVE MY AWARDS TO OUTKAST WHEN THEY DESERVED IT OVER ME ... THAT'S WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! I'M NOT CRAZY YALL, I'M JUST REAL. SORRY FOR THAT!!! I REALLY FEEL BAD FOR TAYLOR AND I'M SINCERELY SORRY!!! MUCH RESPECT!!
He took a young girl's first award moment outside of a country music award and runined it. It will forever be tainted and nothing he does will give that girls moment back.

Thank goodness Beyonce being the woman she is, gave some of it back to Taylor Swift by allowing her to finish her speech, but it was a bittersweet moment.
Overall I am amazed at how some people just don't know when to shut up. Oh well I'm quite sure we'll hear more crap before the year is done!

My friend and her words

Just had to post this. My friend is crazy and ya'll have got to read her blog as she tells it like it is.

Tila Tequila...A Publicity Whore or Marketing Genius?


I swore I would not put that person on my site, but after seeing some of her tweets, I am convinced now more than ever that she is uber crazy or the smartest woman ALIVE!

If you don't know or have been living under a rock with Patrick Starfish, Tila claimed Charger player Shawne Merriman basically restrained her and was trying to hold her at his home against her will. But in the past week it has gone from a restraint against her leaving his home to a full beatdown by the man.

Now there are pictures of her arms with bruises on them, but they are consistant of someone holding her arms not getting a beat down.

Well after the DA here in San Diego decided to not file charges against Shawne Merriman, then Tila took her war of words to her Twitter page. She has been saying all kinds of things to the point of idiocy and now unless you were following her, she has locked her tweets. So my good friend who is following her has been sending me some of her tweets. This last batch is what prompted my blog today.

Check out her awesome words of wisdom on why she will leave men alone now:

Now I understand the reason behind all of this taking place. God told me that the right path for me is being a lesbian. It all makes sense.
Icon_lockand yes....every guy IS the same. They DISGUST ME BEYOND BELIEF. I can't ever forgive myself for ever not being a lesbian sooner.
Icon_lockAnd from my personal experience. Women do it SO MUCH BETTER then men with sex anyway. Its about time I became a full lesbian.
Icon_lockSo I guess we all know who I am going to marry now at the end of the day.....another WOMAN! I can't wait to meet her and start my life....
Icon_lockI will NEVER have the same outlook on Men ever again. After this incident. I have a strange disconnection towards men now. All of them.
Icon_lockI can see now why so many victims of domestic violence end up becoming lesbians afterward. Cuz I for one. Never want to go back to men again
Icon_lockBTW...what pisses me off, is that SO many women have emailed me to confess about getting beat. But they are all SO SCARED to speak up!
Icon_lockIm gonna try to get some rest now. Have a long week ahead to move forward in my Civil Suit against Mr. Merriman. Goodnight. God Bless.
Icon_lockI feel like Im being "Rodney King-ed" here. Corrupt judicial system. SD is the worst! They're going 2 regret doing this2 me cuz I wont stop

I am amazed by everything she spots out. For a grown-ass woman she has taken this she said/he said crap to new limits. But the thing is, she is probably an evil genius of marketing because she continues to keep herself out there and who knows? Maybe this is something for her new show a "Shot at Love" #3. What do you think? Is she crazy or marketing master-mind?

I actually Hate the show Vampire Diaries!!


That's right folks I completely hate the liberties the writers took with this show. I was hyped about another vampire tv to the point I purchased the book. Loved the book and the many characters paraded through out. I also realized that this book series is nothing like Twilight, but more darker and a bit mature.

Let's start off with why the book works.

Elena is blonde and the most popular girl in school. Every girl wants to be her and every boy wants to date her. She has two very best friends Bonnie, who is chubby and not black like in the tv show, and Meredith who is not even in the show.

Elena is uber confidant. The girl she thought was her friend, Caroline, is tired of being in Elena's shadow and wants to be top girl.

So far this is what makes the book really good.

Enter Stefan who is the first boy that does not fall over his feet to meet Elena. In fact he tries to avoid her at all cost.

Elena lives with her aunt and a 4 year old sister.

Now to the TV show.

First off Elena is brunette, like a certain other girl in another book. She does not seem as popular because I saw no one falling over her to be next to her except Stefan who just has to be near her.

Bonnie is black, skinny and cute. She is also descended from druids as through the series of the books she has psychic visions. I am finding this girl that is playing Bonnie not believable of the character in the book. This young lady is just too much for the character of Bonnie.

And there is no Meredith. I am shocked as she is a major character in the book and she is the stronger of the two friends. It makes no friggen sense!

Oh and it gets better. Apparently they decided to write out her little 4 year old sister and instead wrote in a brother named Jeremy who is a drug addict. Really? Why? There is no need for that.

And Matt, who Eleana broke up with him after a couple of chapters in the book is now the brother of Vickie, which is just asinine cuz in the book they are classmates.

And the final straw or should I straws? Well Stefan lives with a man calling him uncle Stefan, that one through me for a loop because Stefan in the book lives in a boarding house and Mrs. Flowers is his landlady.

The other straw is the fact that Stefan's brother Damon reveals himself like way to earlier especially since he revealed himself to Elena first.

Basically I am way beyond pissed at the amount of stuff they just took out or added. I do not understand why because if they left it as it was the show would have been much more stronger. Now it is just a bad copy of a wanna be Twilight. They even changed the name of the town from Fell's Church to Mystic Falls.

Overall I am hating the show, the network and above all else the writers who totally wrote a bad plot. But I am willing to give it one more try as True Blood has only one more episode left, otherwise it is me and my Buffy DVD collection for my vampire fix.

Vampire Diaries tv show...Will it be good?


I've been reading the series and I can tell you first hand Vampire Diaries is no Twilight. It is darker and more vamp on vamp crime. Gotta love that. So I am excited about the tv show which is not on yet.

Some things I'm not happy about? The main character Elena is blonde in the book. In the tv show she is brunette. Dang tv producers are really trying to push this show to the Twi-Hards.

Also the school and the town is a completely different from the book. I'm confused by that as that shouldn't matter right? The name? Mystic Falls boo!

I will await overall judgment after it comes on later. I am ready to sit and watch another Vampire show on TV.

Commercials and their wackiness


Annoying commercial jingles that stay with you, must mean they are doing their job. Every time I see Bumblebee tuna, that dude playing the guitar going through peoples homes singing pops in my head. I stay away from that brand of tuna. I refuse to have a man go through my house singing about tuna.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjHvmbYk-Dg Check the video here. Sound quality suck but this commercial creeps me out on so many levels, and the people in their houses are calm. In my house it be a different story, like me screaming and trying to find something to throw at the crazy man. Probably a brand of Starkist tuna. Just saying.

Or that one commercial for Stride chewing gum? Can you imagine chewing some gum, enjoying the flavors when some goat, wrestler, or German dance troupe hit you to try and make you spit the gum out? Yeah right! I stay away from that brand of gum.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojgi16des-U Here is the video of a man just minding his business walking across the street chewing his gum, when he is suckered punched in the man parts, then after the goat hits him again, these fools roll up in a van (btw creepy!) and steal that piece a gum, while that man is on the ground trying to get air into his lungs. I refuse!

I think about stuff like this all the time. I don't think I'm crazy, but these commercials are presented in away that actually makes me think twice about having it in my house. Just saying.

Book review: Fearless by Max Lucado


Book Description

Each sunrise seems to bring fresh reasons for fear.

They're talking layoffs at work, slowdowns in the economy, flare-ups in the Middle East, turnovers at headquarters, downturns in the housing market, upswings in global warming. The plague of our day, terrorism, begins with the word terror. Fear, it seems, has taken up a hundred-year lease on the building next door and set up shop. Oversized and rude, fear herds us into a prison of unlocked doors. Wouldn't it be great to walk out?

Imagine your life, wholly untouched by angst. What if faith, not fear, was your default reaction to threats? If you could hover a fear magnet over your heart and extract every last shaving of dread, insecurity, or doubt, what would remain? Envision a day, just one day, where you could trust more and fear less.

Can you imagine your life without fear?

Fearless by Max Lucado is a lesson on how to live fear free in a world of fear created by one's self. How would your life be if you could live without the day to day fears that so many people have? Would you be a more productive person? Would you finally be able to breathe easier knowing how unfounded those fears really are?

From the first chapter on the author describes the many fears we as a people have either individually or as a people. From the fear of not succeeding to the fear of the economy not bouncing back to the fear of not being like everyone else. Each chapter takes those fears and applies life lessons as well as scriptures from the bible that shows that the things people fear are not such a big thing in the grand scheme of things.

Overall this is a book about inspiration and inspiring others to look inside themselves and to become less fearful. I would recommend this book to anyone needing to know that they are not the only ones in the world who have fear. The message in the book came through loud and clear; to live life without fear, is to live a life truly blessed. You just need to have a little faith.

District 9...A Kick A$$ Movie!

Saw District 9 yesterday on Labor Day. OMG!!! This movie was ridicoulous with the visual effects, which I had read somewhere that the budget for this film was pretty low. The aliens looked so real and the interaction with the aliens looked real.

So here is the quick rundown. Twenty years ago, an alien ship stopped over South Africa and for the first 3 months nothing happened, so the military decided to go in to see if there was anything they could salvage. What they find is millions of aliens who are dying. Apparently they were lost and/or stuck without a way to get home. They were taken from the ship and put in slums, called District 9.

The main character Wikus works for a company called Multi-National United (MNU) who has basically taken care of alien-human integration. He was placed in charge to move the aliens or prawns as the humans called them, from District 9 to District 10. The reason for this move was because the people were tired of living close to the aliens. Well what was supposed to be a routine eviction/move-out turns into a nightmare for Wikus as everything changes in the blink of an eye. See the movie to see what is really going on! Will blow your mind!

This movie is done in the beginning as a documentary and done so well, you can truly believe this could happen. The movie is crazy, a little bit gross, and above all else a kick a$$ sci-fi movie which I am a serious lover of!

Finally a Playstation 3 Owner


My son finally got the love of his life: a slim, black, plastic encased mechanism. Yep he finally has a Sony Playstation 3, the slim edition. My mom hooked him up with graduation money and today I took him to Game Stop and he purchased the new console for $299. He also got one game. All together almost $400. Why so much? Because in the city we live in sales tax is almost 10%. So hate that.

Well he has been playing with it all day, and called me into his room several times to check out all the neat little things it can do. Frankly I didn't really care, that is until he showed me the internet part of it. Yes it has free internet and he can practically do everything he does on his laptop (which is primarily him watching anime or reading mangas). This machine can apparently do anything.

Now all I have to do is get an HD tv to showcase the awesomeness that is the Playstation 3.

Please Put On Shorts For The Love Of GOD!


After picking my oldest up from college, he requested to go to little Caesar's for $5 pizza. Since he was paying for his own dinner I had no problem.

Well as we were leaving the parking lot, this female stepped out of her truck in a t-shirt tied in the back, and a bathing suit, with sandals. She had no shorts on what so effin ever!!!!!

Literally almost crashed car as I was backing out. My poor son almost passed out from the overall gross factor.

While I understand she was in a bathing suit, there was no water around for miles! A towel, sarong, or shorts would have just been respect overall. The back of her thighs had so many dimples you could connect the dots.

Now while this is California, with many a pool, and many beaches, that is a sight that was just not right and will forever be etched into my cranium.

Don't get me wrong, I am no spring chicken, but at the same time, if you're out and about shopping, sorry but that is just not acceptable!

Link Referral...A Rant...Kind of


I've been on link referral and for the most part I love the extra traffic I'm getting as well as the reviews received. But this last review I got literally has me questioning people in general.

Ok I am pretty clear in what my blog is about. I literally talk about stuff that I come across in my life.

So this last review I got states and I quote:
"It has some interesting posts, like the ones about Vampires, and True Blood (I love this show).. but I think it's not very easy to read, the ideas are a bit mixed... could be clearer! :) It's good but could be improved!."

Ok I am not a crybaby boo hooing over this review, but come on! It clearly states what my blog is about. This post is called a rant. =D I just had to comment because while not mad, this is the ish that kills me!

Now I am one for taking comments and working to improve, as I know I can not make every single person happy, I get that, but when I see a person who clearly does not understand that it is mixed for a reason, well poop on a stick I just had to get my 2 cents out.


I even changed my template around to something I feel is more me, and will allow people to see better on a white background
.

This leads me to believe that I am probably one of the few who actually look at a blog/website and understand, even if it is not my cup of tea, I at least try to get what they are about which 9 out of 10 times, is clear as AIR!

Ok this rant is over. lol I will go on to lighter, more mixed items later.

True Blood Season 2...Nothing like the book


Just saw the next to last episode and WOW! There is only one episode left until next season! I have already read the books so I know how it ends, but the show, which is WAY better than season one which I could not take, has some things that are not like the book.

Example when they are in Dallas, the hotel gets blown up, not Godric's abode, and it was done in the daytime, when they were at their weakest. In the book it is very dramatic with quite a few dead vamps. The only thing I can think of is that they didn't have the budget. Its stuff like that that kinda ticks me off with the show, but I have to remember that the story is told from Sookie's POV.

The other thing is the Maenad, I swear that they were not having the orgy in Sookie's house but someone else's but I am just not clear, again little things that kinda irk.

But I tell you this, this chick who is playing the Vampire Queen? Umm in the book she was a little bit more hardcore and icy, at least that was my impression. And had a very powerful presence. So far I am not buying her as the Queen.

But I do like the nice foreshadowing for season 3, with Sookie cousin. Can't wait to see how the series will end, even with the changes from the book. Season 3, as the third book, should be even better than season 2.

Daybreakers: A New Vampire Movie


I need to tell you that I love vampire lore and while I am a Twilight fan, I was way into vampires in general from the old Bela Lugosi monster movies to Buffy. And now my friend just sent me this trailer of a new vampire movie that has me losing my mind! It is about time Vampires show their fangs by the way. In this new movie, the vamps are in charge while they farm the remaining humans for blood. Uber excited!!!!

So does it look good or too bloody for you?

Check out the video here and prepared to be amazed!

I Review Books... Anyone Hiring?




So I am a writer of many things, from blogging, writing short short fiction, to book reviews. And I can say that I am loving all the writing. I want to make it a full time career, but at this point writing is a hobby.

The book reviews I do are probably the most fun, besides blogging, that allows me to be me in an academic way. Blogging is all about personality whereas my articles have to come from my experience as a reader of erotica and romance. Yeah I am an erotic reviewer.

Now I just don't just do books, but review sites, other blogs, and publishers. I LOVE it! Of course the research is just a bonus =D.

But the very best thing about reviewing? Is being asked to review! That is so cool. I hate to admit this, lol, but I get "author-struck". It is like star-struck only I get giddy over meeting authors either in person or online! Now shh, tell no one!

So if you're over eighteen, and want to know about a book, site, blog, or publisher you should stop by my site. You'll love it! Shameless Plug #1

Why Being Nice Sucks Part 2


More rules that you as a customer should follow. Remember it will make you're transaction easier and faster and make your customer service rep happy to not use your personal information for nefarious means due to you're lack of compassion.

Please do note curse or belittle rep. Seriously folks, you do know that this just really delays any help you might have had. All is does is frustrate you and make you look like an idiot. Seriously.


Please, when giving info like your address or email or whatever, speak slow and concise. This can not be stressed enough! Especially over the phone. Rattling off numbers fast will only make the rep ask you to repeat again and again until you’re frustrated and pissy, which could have been avoided if you had a little patience to begin with!

Please, when calling in, keep it as simple as possible. This means that when you call in, there is no need to tell your life story of the problem, making it bigger than it is. The rep can only take so much information before they start to tune you out and ask you target specific questions such as “what specifically did you need done today” or “why are you calling today” or put you on hold and hope to god that somewhere in your file there is an answer to what you may be asking. A 2 minute call can go into a 15 minute monologue because of misdirection and not knowing how to ask a simple question. Basically stop making statements and just ask the question.


With these simple lessons you will be a much happier person, and that is all the customer service rep wants. Thanks for stopping by!

The Duggars: A Monopoly of One Woman’s Uterus


Hi all. I am a mother. Proud to be one though I was 19 at the time. I’m also a single parent. So when I read a story about a woman who is basically pregnant with her 19th child, I was in shock!

19 children with their oldest married and expecting his first. Now I am not one of those people who think it is wrong to have that many children, but growing up in a family like that doesn’t that set a precedent that is ok to keep on having kids?

Can you imagine each of those 19 kids each having 19 kids? Yikes on a stick! Seriously though that family creeps me out, all that smiling and every single one of them look alike in a freaky way, including the husband and wife.

I just think that at this point it is quite ok to stop. Seriously. Just stop. I guess I am weirded out by all the kids and their morals of not believing in control. Because this is a serious case of control if I ever saw. At this rate, being that she is 42 I don’t see her stopping. I mean this new baby will be able to walk out of her uterus; there is so much room in there.

I personally hated being pregnant, but love my kids dearly. I guess I feel bad for the many couples in the world who can’t conceive with out help and even then it is no good. Isn’t this like a slap in the face of woman who can’t get pregnant but Jim and Anna look at each other and she is ready to pop another one.

I get their philosophy that each child is a blessing, but couldn’t they adopt? I mean if they got that much love to give how about helping out instead of hold her uterus hostage?

Anyway I just had to add my two cents worth of commentary. Thanks for stopping by!
