This is embarassing


The fact that anyone would know who these people are...let alone the entire country is a shame.
They had too many babies...on accident. And yet Kate's distinctive, "I'm-this-close-to-coming-out-of-the-closet" hairstyle is considered entertaining discussion.
Has anyone mentioned the fact that John looks slightly like he has Downs Syndrome? No? well, then let me be the first.

Albert Einstein is my favorite historical figure. If you read anything about him, or go through a list of his quotes you'll see that not only is he tuned into the workings of our universe, but is also enlightened spiritually. He is a classic story of simply putting one foot in front of the other, even after rejection and failure. He is without inhibition in the expression of his thought processes. He gives his brain free reign. Even through adulthood he managed to buck conventional thought and wisdom and stay true to the openness most of us seem to lose as children.

The reason why physics is such a beautiful science is that it uses mathematics -- the language of God (or spirituality), transliterated and transcribed by men -- to exhibit the perfection of the world we live in. In a metaphysical sense perfection is said not to exist, but within the scope of symmetry, movement, numbers like pi, and phi...it truly does, inspiring awe and acceptance of our existence. As he put it, "the spirit manifest in the laws of the universe"

So, the moral of this post is, don't let your kids fail at math, and if you have itunes go to podcasts and type in "Einstein & the Mind of God", pretty interesting stuff.

ps -- my use of the word, "God", in no way affiliates me with any organized religion, I remain truly agnostic.

I kind of always knew it was ham...but ever since I saw it at a Trader Joe's...I wondered. So, from Wikipedia:

Prosciutto (English pronunciation: /prəˈʃuːtoʊ/,[1]) is the Italian word for ham. In English, prosciutto almost always used for an aged, dry-cured, spiced Italian ham that is usually sliced thin and served uncooked; this is called prosciutto crudo 'raw ham' in Italian and distinguished from prosciutto cotto 'cooked ham'. The most renowned and expensive legs of "prosciutto" come from central and northern Italy (Tuscany and Emilia in particular), such as Prosciutto di Parma, and those of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, such as Prosciutto di San Daniele.

Ode to the "Qwasawwwn"


This morning I saw you in the glass starbucks case, and your golden, buttery exterior caught my eye. You looked fresh, which peaked my interest, stacked there amongst your comrades.

What did I want today? Were you on the list? No. But you took me by surprise. You don't have the brown promise of chocolate, or the blue distinction of embedded fruit. Neither do you have red ribbons of rhubarb, nor the sunny stickiness of a lemon tart. You don't offer the crisp edges of a toasted bagel, or the firm crumbliness of a vanilla scone. You don't flash your offer of morning satisfaction with loud, conspicuous appearance. You are subtle. You are a masterpiece of French ingenuity. You are melting, warm, soft, perfection.

Megan Fox

Congratulations Megan Fox...I'm not even going to degrade you by posting a photo. You are the first recipient of my "you're not a retard" award.

I have to admit it, whether she's spinning a bad girl image or not. She's smart, wise beyond her years actually. In fact, she's the first celebrity that I would say I'd like to meet.

I'm not proud of it, but it's the truth.

We're back to basics

All right, here's one that is not about what a person is wearing, but more about something completely idiotic that they said publicly. Erin Wasson is a model wannabe (insert any other job in the fashion industry). In an interview she gave with the New York Times a while back she said that she wished women with bad ankles would stop wearing leggings. Wow, I guess this is evidence that a lack of food effects brain functioning. If she had said women with cankles shouldn't wear leggings...it would have been bitchy, but at least made sense. What exactly is a bad ankle? An achilles tendon that protrudes too much, or not enough?

Here is what I would love to approach Ms. Wasson and say, "you know, women completely without tits should not wear v-necks of any kind...in fact all shirts are wasted on a flat chested woman, they should probably just not leave home at all. And your knee caps are embarassing, probably shouldn't wear shorts either."

Megan Fox: Hollywood Manufactured Antichrist Barbie, or just a girl trying to make it from the (trailor) Park? And does it matter?


Little story about Megan Fox: One night, in bed with my then paramour talking about celebrity crushes...he mentions Ms. Fox (in his defense I had just finished a monologue on the perfection of Brad Pitt's bone structure.) And he says, "She's like the hottest girl I've ever seen!"
"She has a complete White trash slut face." I reply.
"HA HA HAHA she totally does! Not for sex, but
you just want to lock yourself in a hotel room with her and an eight ball and just...well...have sex." He says.
While I loved that at first he tried to front like he didn't want to fuck her, he ended up not being able to lie about it and from that point foward I, of course, have had a little wee problem with Megan Fox. Yes, I know it's ridiculous, but jesus christ, I'm human.
I have been reading and devouring the white-trash-slut belch-like-a-guy persona that this girl has been weaving for herself in the press. And wondering because it is so trite...how much is real and how much is a big ol' fat publicity stunt to try and be Hollywood's new bad girl.
I'm sure if she saw this she would roll her eyes and say something about people being pathetic who care this much about celebrities, then proceed to profess her ordinariness while pulling a goat into a seedy hotel room and making the "shhh" gesture with her index finger. Because that's what bad girls do.
She recently had this to say to Esquire: "I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. I mean, I could see myself in a relationship with a girl. Olivia Wilde
is so sexy she makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands."
Nothing says shocking like the little girl from the trailor park trying to sound naughty by talking about hooking up with other chicks, and then of course saying something that adds an air of androgony to her persona that truthfully, turns men on even more.
But lets face it, it doesn't matter what this girl says, she's still really hot, and I still have to get over it.
