Just a Tip..

I realize this post is a little random...but..I was just thinking about this after a very interesting conversation in the work place yesterday....

If you have to preface a statement you are about to make by saying, "I don't mean to be racist or anything"..it probably means you're a racist making a racist statement.
Just a thought...

Paparazzi Gets His Booty Kicked

I saw on the news earlier this week that a paparazzi photographer got his behind womped while attempting to take photos of Matt McConaughey while he was surfing at a Malibu beach. No, Matt didn't do anything but the other local Malibu surfers did. They beat up on the photographer and dragged him into the water. Several comments could be heard on the video such as "we don't want you here", "get off our beach", etc..

This is amusing to me. No, not because I think the photographer got what he deserved. This guy was doing his job. Certainly not because I felt sorry for Matt. No, celebrities need the press as much as the press needs them as far as I'm concerned. You (actors/musicians etc) get paid huge sums of money for being a "celebrity" and living a pretty charmed life and then want to whine about your privacy. I'm amused at the people who felt the need to beat him up. How many "People", "Star", "National Enquirer", "Us" or other magazines have they purchased? Maybe none since celebrities are probably a part of their everyday lives. But, my guess is, they've purchased some of them.

This is simple supply and demand. If we, the consumer, would stop buying these magazines then the photographers would not have a job. I made a decision this year to stop reading these magazines when it finally hit me that the world is more interested in what Paris Hilton did last night than who was running for President, who is starving in the world, global warming just to name a few huge issues. Don't get me wrong, I love entertainment, movies and all of it. I just don't want to be a part of the problem anymore. People need to pay attention to their cities, states, country and the world. Hello? Who gives a crap what some loser like Paris Hilton did or does?? Pay attention to something of real importance.

My Boo

As I type this post right now, my Boo is watching Animal Planet on the cable he said was stupid. He also said he hates T.V. but he's looking pretty content right about now all stretched out on the couch watching crazy people catch snakes... 

I win...

Love you Boo..

:-)

I'm Back...

Well, it was a major accomplishment that should have been minor but we now have our DSL service so I can be up and blogging again.  Of course, the mound of unpacked boxes I should be unpacking instead may win out...

Update soon...

Shalom Out.

Me, The Manager..

Why?  Why does this ALWAYS happen to me?  I have said for a loooong time now that all I want is to "go to work and go home."  I do not want to be a manager.  I hate being a manager. Really what I want is to be the the stay at home, do whatever I want, childless wife of an insanely wealthy lawyer.  (All said wealth being acquired DURING the marriage of course!)  I can totally get with that program!  My hubby, however cannot.  He's probably right when he tells me that I will just watch Oprah and be about 400lbs if I didn't stay busy.  No, actually that was ME that said that and I'm SO right! 

So, I started as a "Legal Assistant" AKA "File Clerk" at his law firm one month ago, yesterday. I went into this with the idea that I would learn everything I could and of course, with my personality, I started to take over.  I can't help it, it's just how I am.  As much as I tried to not do it, I did it.  I think I was trying to make decisions and boss people around on my second day. The hubby got me back in line and I thought I was doing good until....today.  As of today, the Office Manager is fired and I have now somehow gotten roped into doing her duties. How in the hell does this happen to me??  Geez, can't I just have my pee on position and be done with it already?

Please, someone tell me how to be the "pee on" and be done with it already!!!

Fat Voters

Okay, so I did chuckle when I saw this on The Onion also. It still proves my point that it's "okay" to make fun of fat people. We're easy targets. But, in the end, I still have a sense of humor and, it's kinda funny. What about those alcoholic, smoking, drughead voters?
