Yikes, just yikes

Ok. This is what I get for not being able to sleep. Just seven minutes ago - according to Yahoo Entertainment News - an article was posted saying that Britney Spears was taken away from her home in an ambulance...again. Is it me, or did this shit stop being funny a couple of months ago when "Chris Crocker" was wailing to leave her alone into his webcam?

Just to be up front, I am not a fan of Britney Spears. Just not my cup of tea.

I wonder if there's anyone in the SpearCircle (tm) that knows what to do with her. She needs to go away...for a while. Somewhere helicopters can't fly over. Somewhere no one shoves a camera in her face (I'm talking to you, TMZ.com). Somewhere without microphones. She needs to be under constant care and therapy...a lot of therapy.

The cliche' punchline is Who'd a thought Kevin Federline was the sane one. Well, really, anyone? It's easy to go the child-star syndrome has struck again, but is that really all it is? I saw her on a tabloid show earlier Wednesday and not only was she wearing different colored wigs in each different location, she was speaking in a British dialect. Form what I saw, she was with a friend that was either from England, or faking it too. She probably thought he'd be more comfortable if she spoke his language.

FYI: Did you know that "Baby, On More Time", her first hit, was written by a then 27 year old music producer from Sweden? HIS name is Martin Karl "Max Martin" Sandberg. Of course, she was an 18 year old playing a high school girl in the video, but I'm sure not a single pedophile was effected.

I don't know. Honestly, it's not like I really care all that much about her, per se, but there's got to be a human being - not just a child-star - in that head, somewhere, right? And really, that's enough of something to blog about these days, so there.

'Tis the season to be voting

I haven't enjoyed a primary season like this one in SUCH a long time! First, I'll say, I haven't paid as much attention to primaries in the past as I have this one, but damn, I sure picked a good one. So, Clinton and Obama are in a dead heat (always thought that was a weird phrase). OK. I'm an Obama supporter, but if Clinton gets the nomination, I'm fine with that. If all of the Democratic contestants were still in the race, she wouldn't be my second choice either. However, if it's her, I can deal. I'd like to see how a female president would work. I think, very well. I do feel - though - that we need a real change in this country. The idea of Bush - Clinton - Bush - Clinton is not appealing to me at all. Yes, things were going well in the 90s, but that's so last millennium. Enough of the past. I think we need a real change, or - to paraphrase Monty Python - we need something completely different. I think that's Barack Obama. As much ...

How I Did It: Confessions of an Ex-Cigarette Smoker

A lot of what I remember about this, I do because I was keeping a quasi-journal at the time. It was in a blue-covered, college-ruled, single subject notebook I'm sure I initially bought for a different purpose. Early morning.  November 19, 2005.  I may have overslept. I remember feeling rushed until I got into the car. Since I packed the night before, I must have overslept.  Ashley West Leonard gave me a ride to Burbank Airport. I was heading to Minneapolis, MN for Thanksgiving at my sister’s house. I was able to visit with them for a full week. Since I was never the wake-up-and-smoke-a-cigarette-before-everything type, I hadn’t had one before the flight. I got to my sister’s and remembered that Beverly (my sister) had quit cigarettes a few years before. I think her husband, Dan did likewise.  I didn’t want to smoke or smell like cigarettes around my nieces, Rebecca Ryweck and Rachel Ryweck. Also, it was November in Minnesota, so...
