Do the Jolie



I want to adopt her. So cute. Sigh.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Today brought me an unexpected and totally unwanted surprise. For the first two minutes after getting the surprise, I was in a state of shock. Then utter resignation. Then despair. Then anger. Utter resignation at the possibility that I will, in fact, grow old and die alone. Despair at the probability that I'll never be good enough for anyone to love me. Angry at the fact that somebody from my past still had the power to make me feel bad.

My friends tell me that I'm a loving, caring, nurturing person. So why the fuck is it IMPOSSIBLE for me to hold onto a relationship that isn't destructive, insincere and fraught with infidelity? Jesus, it must be me because the same thing happens to me over and over and over again. It's annoying as all hell.

Okay yeah I get it. I have to love myself before I should expect other people to love me back. Great. I'm DOOMED to be alone until the day I bid adieu to this godawful existence.

I have to shake this off. If I have any chance of moving on, moving forward and finding the one person who would take me for me and APPRECIATE what I can bring to the table, I have to stop dwelling on the past and living my life to the fullest.

Anybody got a Moving On for Dummies book that I can borrow? Sigh.

Anatomy of a Sex Scandal.

Disclaimer: This is MY take on things. If you agree with me, fine. If you don't, that's fine too. Don't go shoving your opinions down my throat. If you're reading this and find yourself bored, disgusted, indignant or ready to bust out the pitchforks to defend your champion, I say do whatever makes you happy. Just take it somewhere else, this is MY blog.

Now on to the rant.

Let's start from the beginning shall we? Once upon a time there was a girl who got attracted to a guy who was currently in a May-December relationship with an older woman. Now the girl wasn't any ordinary girl... she's a starlet/celebrity of some sorts. (I'm sorry but to call her an actress would just insult legitimate actresses everywhere.) The guy is a doctor whose claim to fame is that he joined Celebrity Duets and is currently in a relationship with a plastic surgeon to the stars. The twist? The starlet is also one of the plastic surgeon's patients/endorsers.

Okay, now comes the icky part. Apparently the starlet took a liking to the singing doctor and they soon started diddling each other, of course without the plastic surgeon's knowledge. Now comes the even ickier part. The singing doctor apparently likes taking videos of his diddling activities. And because he was thinking with his penis, instead of his brain, he left these videos inside a computer that any schmuck with half a brain can access.

Fast forward to all the brouhaha. A couple of these videos got "leaked" into the world wide web one of which was of the starlet. By the way, the plastic surgeon discovered the singing doctor's infidelity before there was any talk of videos and whatnot. The starlet went on to have another guy, went on a hiatus to maybe let all the talk of her being a cheap ass slut die down. Ok, moving on.

The proverbial crap hit the proverbial fan and now every politician and women's group has jumped onto the bandwagon that is the starlet's "tragedy" of a life.

Alright... now on to what I think about this whole fiasco.

1. First off, dearest Katrina Halili, nobody did this to you. You did it to yourself. If you hadn't gone and HAD SEX WITH A GUY WHO WAS IN A RELATIONSHIP, then you wouldn't even HAVE a video. It's called karma. You reap what you sow.

2. Second, Dr. Hayden Kho, Jr.... dude, for the love of everything holy, STOP hiding behind excuses of trauma, psychological problems and the kitchen sink. You have those videos because you're a guy who thinks with his penis first before his brain. Now that the cat is out of the bag, just take it like a man, water over the head and all.

3. Third, Dr. Vicky Belo, sweetie... please stop being so snide. You're supposed to be older, wiser and classier than Katrina. You should just stop it with the snotty, bratty comments. Yes, Katrina took what was yours but would you really want to quibble over a guy who cheated on you? Dump his cheating ass for good. Show some modicum of respect for yourself, your profession and your children and be done with the whole lot of them.

4. To every self righteous political asshole who is using this scandal to make themselves look less useless and stupid. Can't you actors turned politicians find something else to do that will actually help this godforsaken country of ours instead of WASTING people's time AND money over STUPID stuff like Katrina Halili's plight to regain what dignity and integrity she DIDN'T HAVE in the first place? People are starving, schools are one step above being shanties and you're quibbling over celebrity scandals? Stop all the grandstanding and GET TO WORK! Self-serving bastards.

5. To GABRIELA et al. There are countless rape cases all over the country, countless women being abused, physically and mentally by their husbands, boyfriends and loved ones. There are women who are being subjected to humiliating acts of degradation at home and in the workplace and yet you WASTE your time over a starlet whose ONLY claim to fame is that she has no qualms about baring her body for all the world to see. You're NOT defending a meek, innocent virgin who was FORCED into having sex with a man. Katrina Halili got on that bed on her own volition. True, she didn't know she was being filmed, she can be indignant about that and take action against that but could you please tell her to stop saying that she was defiled and used? She wasn't. Nobody can defile somebody who isn't clean in the first place.

All this crap is annoying the hell out of me already. And this is absolutely the last time I'm going to talk about this. Move on people... there is LITERALLY nothing to see here.

It makes no (two) cents.

People who know me, know that I am not afraid to make my opinions known. I always call a spade a spade. If I don't like you now, chances are, I'll never like you - ever. Never, ever. Ever ever ever. Ok, moving on.

I have TONS of pet peeves. I am also known to dislike people just because. You can be the nicest, sweetest person in the whole universe and yet for reasons I can't explain, I just can't stand you - do not expect me to even acknowledge that you exist.

Anyway, the reason I'm writing this whole thing is because of a recent sex video scandal involving two very public personalities. One's a starlet and another one's a doctor who dabbles in singing and whatnot. He took a video of them having sex. It's not making love, sorry, I can't let them call it that. What they were doing in that video was just out and out f*cking. So... the video got stolen, yadda yadda, got splashed all over the internet and now the starlet's crying crocodile tears and acting all hurt and shocked and degraded.

Listen honey, he had a girlfriend. And you're supposed to be his girlfriend's patient. (The gf's "the" plastic surgeon to the stars.) You knew this. And yet you went your merry way and diddled what wasn't yours.

Before any of my readers jump down my throat, let me state this: Women do not deserve to be treated like whores. Women should be respected, loved and cherished. But there are exceptions to the rule. Do I think that she deserved to have the video taken of her without her knowledge? No. Do I think she deserved to be publicly humiliated and judged? No. Do I think she deserves what was coming to her? Yes.

It's called karma. You reap what you sow. You went and diddled somebody else's man. I don't care if you claim to "love" him deeply. He was in a relationship. The RESPECTABLE thing to do was make the man break up with his woman before you went and did the deed. But no. You went and diddled him anyway. You went and had sex with a cheater. That alone right there, does not give you the right to throw yourself one gigantic pity party complete with self-righteous womanizing senators and overzealous women's lib groups.

You're a "celebrity." You should know better. Have you been living under a rock? How many sex videos of "celebrities" are out there, floating on the world wide web? Now you cry and act like you're a woman of integrity who was minding her own business and got suddenly trampled on by the world. Please.

As for the doctor. Own up already. Stop hiding behind made up traumatic experiences that led you to film your own collection of porn. Own up, go away and rebuild your life somewhere preferably some place where no one knows you or cares who you are. If your license to practice medicine gets revoked, take it like a man. You deserve what's coming to you.

As for the real girlfriend, the RESPECTABLE thing to do is SHUT UP. Stop making snide comments. They already got what's coming to them. Act your age and stop making a fool of yourself and your children. Why quibble over a cheater? Sheesh.

Whew. Ok. I'm done.

They're HEEEEEREEEE!

My Ninjatown Microplush Series 2 Ninjas have finally arrived! I am beyond happy! I am BEYOND ecstatic!

It's pretty obvious that I'm a HUGE toy freak. Those who know me, have long suffered through my shamelessness and unreasonable love for toys. I especially love plush toys. The smaller the better. This is why Shawnimals Ninjatown Microplushes are THE most perfect plush toys ever. I got 3 Super Ninjas, 1 Mountain Ninja, 1 Happy Ninja and 1 Sleepy Ninja. They're all exchanging Ninja stories with the Mustachioed Ninjas and having a ball!

I'll post pictures soon... speaking of pictures... uhm, yeah. Never mind.

Shawn Smith is a freaking plush genius! Now if only David Horvath would follow suit and make tinier Uglydolls, all will be good with the world.

Revisiting.

If I start with, "I've been neglecting this blog" again, I'll never hear the end of it.

Thing is, I'm currently caught in a whirlwind of problems, it's difficult to keep track of things I should be keeping track of. Like this blog for instance. I haven't even tweeted in ages.

I hope things start looking up soon. Or else.
