the microcosm

Finally!  Who actually watches that show and thinks they are not wasting precious moments of their little, insignificant, never-to-be-famous lives? Read more »

I have been asked this question a dozen times… No come to think of it, more than a dozen times.  Never once have I had an answer that has really been accurate (I’m a good liar, so I get away with saying all sorts of horseshit).  Then I got in an argument with someone over the issue.  Well, it wasn’t really an argument as much as it was me spewing rants from the mouth.  I realized I did know, sort of, what themicrocosm was about.  Read more »

Another busy day at the office (no, not this office), so I have little time for a full Hell’s Kitchen recap.

But last night was interesting with Matt on the girls’ team and tempers flaring all night on both sides. It is getting hot in the kitchen.

My thoughts about last night’s episode are after the jump. Please feel free to interject your own in the comments. Read more »

This post is prompted by the quick progression of a relationship between a guy that used to hit on me & his pathetic girlfriend.  He couldn’t handle the heat when I started insult-flirting with him a couple of weeks ago, so I checked out his myspace.  In about 2 months they’ve gotten to the “I love you” stage…or at least she has.

Okay, so I’ve been in love before…or at least completely infatuated.  I can understand wanting to shout it out from the mountain tops that you’ve found “the one”, but come on, is his myspace page the place to do it?  Other than being oh-so middle school, it wreaks of insecurity.  You might as well say “back off bitches, he’s mine!”  Why do girls think it’s okay to fly their crazy flag?  I mean, this is a whole new level of desperate.  She posts a pic of them at a wedding with the caption “Can we be next?!”  WOW!  Who knows, maybe they’re soulmates.  My guess is she’s just another psycho broad hell-bent on getting married & crankin’ out the kids.

Has this become the norm?  Whatever happened to the Samanthas & Mirandas?  Why can’t a girl just date people & not take it seriously.  I thought that women were finally starting to take their time to figure out who they were before taking the plunge, but it turns out that all of the old single chicks are just divorced.  I don’t want that for myself; a life riddled with mistakes and regrets.  I’ll be damned if I ever turn into a gushing idiot & toss my future to the wayside for the chance to snag a guy.

So here’s the question.  Have you ever been or been with that girl?  How did it turn out?  I know someone has to have a great story about a nutjob from the past.

Talk amongst yourselves.

I’ll give you a topic:

Gay Marriage.

Discuss.

As the day nears, I realize that it is time to consider the value of mothers.  A national holiday is dedicated to their service as caretakers, confidantes, the last resort, the first resort, nurturers, etc etc.  Without mothers, we would not be here, but that is simple biology.  They carry the fetus in womb and so forth.  However, there are some notable questions to be asked about mothers and society.  Why do so many mothers avoid taking care of children anymore?  Read more »

Last night was shocking.

Things are getting chippy in Hell’s Kitchen on both sides of the kitchen. The women are bickering, Corey keeps picking on Christina and Shayna, and the men — mostly Ben and Bobby — are ganging up on “Matty” like they did to Jason and Craig.

Hell’s Kitchen is going to be a battleground from here on out.

I have searched for some truth in this year’s presidential nominees and I have not found much.  I am probably going to vote for John McCain and God willing he will win, but I would have loved if we could have had Mike Huckabee as our nominee.  I almost always vote Republican, but not because of their ideas about the economy and taxes, but because they are not so socially liberal.

As you can imagine I don’t support gay marriage, abortion, stem cell research and many other popular sinful ideas.  They are immoral, in my views, and are more important to me than whether or not taxes are high or low.  I actually think if there was a Democratic nominee with really conservative values I would vote for him.  I like that Democrats want to look out for the hard workers and poor people, although if churches were more valued in our society they could do that.

I like Barack Obama, but I cannot vote for him.  He is charismatic when he speaks, but I think he is too weak on foreign policy.  I want to think that I am safe and that we do not have to roll over whenever people do not agree with us.  That is probably the main reason for voting for McCain.  Plus, Obama’s father was a Muslim, and whatever people may think, that will affect the way he views things.

Hillary Clinton.  I don’t even want to get started on her.  She is so two faced.  I can just tell half of what she says is an act, like the sniper-fire comments.  I can just see Bill Clinton stealing the show if she won.  It would be like his third presidency.  Plus, I am not much in favor of female politicians.  Not because I do not think we can do the same job, but because many other countries are backwards and will not give us the same respect with a woman as president.

I really wish Mike Huckabee had won the nomination.  His ideas about saving the environment are different from a lot of Republicans.  He is a good Christian and a preacher.  He has a strong stance on foreign policy and will not give in to our enemies.  Israel belongs to the Jews, it is their God-given right and he vows to protect them from all the terrorists that want to kill innocent Jews.  He would have been a good president and popular.  He’s a good speaker, but we don’t vote with our hearts anymore.  We vote with our wallets and who we think has a better chance of winning.  Politics is such a dirty job.

Now there are errors made in the editing room all the time, but when you splice an image of penguins on a “depleting ice-pack” while discussing the ills of global warming, there needs to be some reevaluation.  Take a segment about a cute British girl and spice it up with some stock footage and you have a totally reprehensible faux paus.  I love it!

I used to have a blog.  I was stupid back then.  I longed every day for people to read what I wrote, my pointless ramblings and thoughts on life.  I felt so introspective and philosophical and in touch with my inner self.  Man, was I stupid.  Read more »
