Hollywood

Posted in Uncategorized by Administrator on the January 30th, 2007

I was thinking today about the protests that took place yesterday. I commend all of the celebrities who took the time out of their day to become a “high profile” opposition to America. That is right, I said America. Your kids watch that, you watch that, you probably believe that these people are right. Thank GOD for the first amendment. I do not think these people are right.  

Red carpet, how appropriate. Do you honestly think that these people have one clue how it works in the real world. Have you ever taken a year off to lie around the pool and just collect your thoughts? So, why do these misinformed, semi-famous people get to have national attention? Tim Robbins, an obvious heavyweight in cinema today, (seriously how many Oscars has that guy won in the last few years, don’t get me started on that.) could not answer a simple question without getting nasty. I suppose that they feel they have a social responsibility to speak out against our government. Why do they think that being a celebrity makes them important in our lives? Seriously, if someone asked them a question concerning their beliefs, they look like a deer in the headlights, they had a script and that was not part of it.

 And, I believe they have the right to free speech, I would fight to the death for that right. However, they (hollywood) will not, how many high profile young men and women have volunteered?  You can make a case for Pat Tillman, a hero that hollywood can learn something from, he died for our country. That is it, he died for our country, he fought and died because he was a member of our military, how it happened none of us will ever understand. We are not there (war zone), most of us did not volunteer for the military. Most of you have never seen the inside of a mine and I would not expect you to understand what goes on there. And yet someone who makes 25 million dollars a year, (pretending to be someone else), says they understand the plight of our solders. I think not.

I have one more thing to add; yesterday the New York Post said “9/11 was not that bad”. Think about that.

What Jay did the night of the Golden Globes.

 

I had some peanuts and did not watch a minute of this crappy jerk off fest. Now, I am not trying to be a dick to you sad people who actually spent your time watching this crap. But, do you actually believe that what the over-exposed acting public wears is important? I have a trophy that my friend Suz got for me. I am sorry, you will need to give me a minute……. I am feeling a little emotional………… Huh(exhales; feel my underlying pain), ok I am ready. I painted it and put a light-up star behind it. Along with the pictures of my family and friends it is one of the most precious things I own. (for the purpose of this diatribe of course)

What do these statues that celebrities recieve mean? It means, I can get paid 25 million dollars for six months worth of work and pat myself on the back. “You like me, you really like me.”  Yeh, everyone wants that but, give me a break. I can understand wanting recognition for your acomlishments, but are you freaking kidding me. Think about the miners who were stuck in the Sago mine, sealing off the side drift.(drift being a tunnel or a cutout in the rock) Those guys did exactly what they were trained for, I know, I have been through the training. They saved one fella’s life because of their efforts and they ended up dead. They did their job, collected their money and never came back. And don’t even get me started on 9/11 and the heroics we saw there.

Celebrities do not need to give themselves more awards. That, unfortunately, is who is giving the celebrities their awards…. themselves. You don’t need a trophy if you  do something that really matters.

That one

 

I think that you might know what I am talking about. There is always a one. A skateboard that had just the right pop, a glass that you had to use when you had breakfast, and that one girl who fit perfectly in your arms. I think it might only happen to me once. I was in college and leaving her parents house after dropping by on my way back. We sat outside for a while taking in the Black Hills autumn. And of course we talked. The time came when I needed to leave. She walked me to my car and we both look up the driveway for her parents, who might not trust the skate-punk their daughter is dating. Our eyes meet and I pull her towards me. We kiss for a while and then it happened. I pull her close and slip my hands down her sides to her hips, stopping at her waist. I slide my left hand around to the small of her back and pulled her closer. My right hand follows her spine up to the nape of her neck. I run my fingers through the back of her hair as she tries to pull me closer, but that is impossible. Her head is resting on my shoulder and she turns towards my face, drawing her chin along my collarbone. I feel her press her nose and lips against the side of my neck. She feels weightless in my arms, and my legs almost fall out from under me. At that moment she could have stayed there forever.

That was a long time ago. I still have that skateboard that provided the perfect kickflip, my new one has yet to see a halfed-assed one. My new trucks will not fit on the old board, and I can’t bring myself to drill the holes needed to mount them. So, I guess we will never know.

2008 Democratic National Convention

Denver has become the host city for the 2008 Democratic national convention. I thought we had enough misguided people in our state, so lets invite the rest of them. I hope while they are here they will ban something, I don’t care what it is, just take away some of our basic rights. What was Nancy Pelosi’s first act as speaker? Ban smoking. We need to prioritize people, Americans can’t think for themselves. Thank God (oh wait I could offend someone, I should use ______ instead of God.) for democrats, I do not know what I would do with all of the civil liberties I would have if not for you. As far as all of the Democrats, welcome to Colorado as long a you, don’t own a gun, don’t smoke, use renewable energy, don’t eat anything that bleeds, drive a hybrid car(or just think that your SUV is ok because you need it and everyone else is bad), bash our President every chance you get or are just generally self-righteous.The crazy thing about these conventions is there are always more problems with unruly protesters at the Republican convention. What does that say about democrats? Mark my words, I will bet anyone $100 that there are more arrests at the Republican convention.  I will hopefully be on vacation during the convention, I don’t want to be around that many democrats.

Al and the global destruction

 

I was watching this show tonight that calims that global warming is going to eventually kill everyone on the planet. Al has the awnser. Al Gore that is. The “savior” of our planet. I should make a movie about global cooling as I am sitting in 2 feet of snow. Popular Science printed an article in 1974 claiming that global cooling was a distinct possibility and prominent scientists of the day collaborated on this article. Their solution was to melt the polar ice caps. Think about that for a minute…. thirty two years ago we had a completely diffrent view of our planet. What will it be like in thirty more years.

Human arrogance is what I think drives the “we are all gonna die if we don’t all ride bikes to work”. It seems like an elitist “I told you so, I am blaming you for____” type ethos. Science is continually changing and to claim that a THEORY like global warming is 100% going to kill us, that is just media hype. Do the research on both sides and you will come back undecided. But don’t ask Al, he will tell you it is your fault.

Alright now I am in hell

 

I just heard that Cindy Sheehan claims that she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Well, I have a few opinions about that.

Sheehan is an anti-american and I believe her son would not approve of her self-promotion on the occation of his death. He was a volunteer military man, no draft like our fathers in Vietanm or grandfathers in WW2, but a full volunteer. She is profiting from her son’s death. Think about that, and think about that hard. She said, and I quote, “I wish I could go back in time and KILL GEORGE BUSH when he was a BABY”. I don’t believe that qualifies as a Nobel prize winner.

War is a horrible and unnecessary evil. But you know what, it happens and we are just too far removed from the rest of the world to recognize that. But as far as a mother is concerned, I doubt that you would try and benefit from the death of your son.
