Do you ever just sit back and think of all the things you are sick of in life? I certainly did today, and I’m going to list what I’m sick of this week for your reading pleasure right now. Maybe I’ll do this as a weekly thing.

- Perez Hilton. He is so stupid, throwing around gay slurs at will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas. Especially after he went after that Miss California for honestly admitting that she believes in, and I quote, opposite marriage. I’m loving that allegedly the Peas band manager socked him right in his big fat face. This Perez guy makes me sick, and it is not because I’m jealous of his blog success either. Sure, I’d like to make the money he does, but I’m not about to become a gay man-childwho wears pink, lives in L.A., and draws penises on celebs photos. I think he and I both know that he doesn’t have any competition from me. I just want to scream from the rooftops, Come on already, I’m so over you! There are at least fifty other bloggers more funnier, better looking, and who have funnier websites. Can’t whoever is in charge of making things and people trendy take him off the list? Ugh. SO.OVER.HIM!

- Old shows, old movies, and even old stars being remade into new, hip versions of the classics. Sure, I adored the old 90210 so much that I bought a 90210 version of Twister, but was it ok to be curious enough to watch the new 90210, twice? No. I got over the new 90210 quick when I released it sucked and the girls were so skinny I could hear their tummies roar on my tv. I even watched more than one season of The Bachelor until a guy I knew from college (Yes, Bob Guiney) became The Bachelor, and I laughed and laughed because the schmuck I knew in college who was not known as a lothario became one on tv, strangely, right before my eyes. Puke. Flash forward a million years later, and I am still fatigued by every other dating show, including, and most especially, Daisy of Love. As for the new Melrose Place, I say no thank you. Transformers? It sucked then and it still sucks now. Land of the Lost? Good in a cheesy way back then, just cheesy now. I’ll take Bachelor Party over The Hangover any day. As for Dance Your Ass Off, I watched three performances and died a little inside. I’ll take The Biggest Loser over it any day. As for music, who would ever dream of remaking these classic 80s songs: Mercy Mercy Me, Love Shack, There’s Only One Way To Rock, Fade To Black, Like a Prayer, Imagine, Footloose, Come On Eileen, Do You Think I’m Sexy, Living On A Prayer, We Will Rock You. Oh, yeah, Paris Hilton tried, and now her cd is in the $1 bin at The Dollar Store. Movies are the worst offender and while there is a long list of bad remakes, sequals & adaptations, I’ll just name a few of the more horrible ones: Hulk, Pyscho, The Shaggy Dog, Bewitched, The Dukes of Hazzard, Poseidon, The Island Of Doctor Moreau, Planet of the Apes, and the holy trio, Halloween, Friday the 13th, and A Nightmare on Elm Street. If you throw in Prom Night and Dawn of the Dead, my head explodes. While I adored many a zombie or horror film back in the day, I’m getting just a wee bit quasey of the modern day versions of these classics. Footloose and Fame, I’m sure you will be nowhere near the greatness of the originals, but I pray you will be at least decent enough to provide me a good rental I can watch with my teen. Hollywood, there will only be one Paul Newman, one Jimmy Stewart, one De Niro, one Woody Allen, one Julie Andrews, one Robert Redford, one Depp, one Brando, one Marilyn, one Nicholson, and two separate Hepburns, so please, please, please stop spoon feeding us new stars who you try to force into the old molds. Those molds are broken and gone forever. Hell, who am I kidding, there is only one Kevin Costner, one John Cusack, one George Clooney, one Brad Pitt, and one Harrison Ford. Lastly, I have a note to Megan Fox – you will never, ever be as hot, crazy or adventurous as Angelina Jolie, so please stop trying already.

- Plastic bags. They last forever, and are destroying our environment. Have you ever seen that program on them? Scary. As much as I hate paper bags that always rip when I’m carrying in my groceries, I’ll take them any day over these crappy, flimsy, dog poop filled environmental nightmare. My library got smart, and now they pass out a cloth bag that you actually check out and return with the books. Whoever came up with that idea is a genius. Before you bitch at me to use my own green bags, I have them, and forget them in my car every single time I go into any type of store.

- Michael Jackson coverage. If I see his poor daughter Paris cry on my tv one more time I’m going to cry myself. Enough already people. I’m done, your done, we are all done. I don’t want to hear any murder conspiracy theories, either. However, feel free to make fun of Corey Feldman as much as possible. What as ass for wearing that to the funeral. The gloves were classy compared to his get up.

- Jon and Kate Gosselin. They file for divorce, put the show on hiatus, and we sigh a big sigh of relief, and get over them. And then, days later, when the publicity dies for them, partly due to MJ death, they come out and publicly say that they won’t be responding to any media coverage. I was glad we all moved on. But it lasted about as long as my hysterectomy stay. Kate comes out of the woodwork, showing off all around town and speaks out about something I don’t even care to remember. They followed up by their 4th of July public display with J&K at the house together. Now, Jon is talking about his new girlfriend, Hailey Glassman, who is 22 and . Again, I am shouting from the rooftop Stop the madness Gosselins! Quit parading around town like Paris Hilton. Your show now sucks. We liked your show when it was about your cute kids, but we don’t like it now. And, for the record, no one likes or cares about either of you two. If we did, you would still be getting that third book “Love Is in the Mix: Making Meals into Memories” published this November! And for the love of God, wear a bathing suit cover up when going out in public. Your ass had eight kids, and it’ll never be sexy again.


































I love the idea of you doing this weekly! I have to admit I am still obsessed w/ the Gosselins. I have this horibble feeling of huge dislike for her and can’t wait to see her being dissed somewhere again….i know, i know, i’m horrible, right! It’s one of my guilty pleasures! Glad to see you’re feeling better, well, well enough to get on here. I look everyday to see if you’ve posted. Thanx for doing this, you’re a good writer and if I could hire you I would!

Awe, thank you so much pain in the neck. I do enjoy posting things like this, so maybe I will try it weekly. Sometimes life, work, kids, husband and illness get in my way, so we will see. And as for Kate, we all had that obsession with them, it is natural. And don’t think I didn’t have an evil twinge of happiness when her cookbook got cancelled. Now, I just pray for her to go away, lol …

Cool, glad you liked it Nicole! I enjoyed writing it. I laughed at that photo of Perez so hard … there were way worse ones of him on photobucket, with penises on his pictures, etc. I just couldn’t be that mean after posting Kate’s scary butt.

There certainly is lots of material to choose from to do a weekly post of the subject. Perez that picture is so wrong on so many levels sigh. Oh well such is life. Like I said lot to choose from.

Starla – Yes, we are over exposed to so many things that are slowly stealing our souls, lol!!! And Perez, yuck.

Aggggghhhh, that picture of Perez Hilton is horrible!! I used to read his blog alllllllong time ago but stopped. I get all of my important and TRUE news from US Weekly and People.com. I am incredibly informed when it comes to world issues as you can see:)
I am so damn sick of:
People dancing to Baby Got Back at wedding receptions. Really? Why? Really?
By: Amy in Ohio on July 14, 2009

Amy – I checked out his blog when I first heard about it, was very destracted by all of his advertising and shamless pictures of self promotion. I get my info from watching E!, TMZ and Chelsea Lately. I’m not much of an online reader of celeb gossip, as funny as that sounds. Don’t have the time.
As for Baby got Back, amy, you were at a MICHIGAN wededing. We love our trashy 80s and early to mid 90s dance tunes. LOL. I always enjoy that song, except when white chicks sing it at karaoke.

I knew after 1 kid my body was not going to see a bikini ever again! woman + child = NO BIKINI!
By: Just a Mom on July 14, 2009
at 2:54 PM
Mom – Thank you! Sometimes, even ladies like myself, who have never had a kid, should not wear a bikini. My doctor was telling me I could still wear a bikini and not show this surgical scare and I shouted, oh, I haven’t worn a bikini since 1996! We had a good laugh over that one, as she is chubby, too.
I think after a certain age less is more. I see so many girls and woman wear bikinis with muffin tops, saddle bags, and just plain old fat rolls and stretch marks hanging out. Unless a persons hips, abs, tummy and ass are perfect, the bikini should not be worn.

Don’t get me started about the plastic bags! People just don’t get it! 3 or 4 things in one bag. So i go and bag it myself, just cram it full, but not enough to break and when you turn your back, they double-bag it! Aaaargh!!!!
By: kmcmick on July 14, 2009

Kmcmick – Oh, the grocery industry, they make me so mad. I can’t do self check out, my back is too bad to stoop with scanning and packing all those grocieries. All the registers are for shorter people. Half the time when I ask for paper they don’t have it stocked and won’t get it. Major grocerers don’t care. That is why I partially shop at Trader Joes, where they always use paper bags and encourage customers to bring in their own bags.
We need legislation to stop using plastic bags. Anyone who would watch that documentary understands what I’m talking about.

Work one day in a grocery store and you will want to choke people with their reusable bags and paper bags.
Don’t get me wrong I have the reusable bags and I am all for using them but damn they are a bitch to pack.
My “timer” (tells my boss how quickly I ring up) is still running while I’m bagging people shit in their damn reusable bags or the assholes that go “no, I would like paper” [Then bag it your own goddamn self]. I get “talked to” by my boss for being under 27 items per minute. But since I live/work near a university I get tons of those liberal, green-thinking bastards daily.
Paper bags should be outlawed they still fuck up our environment as much as plastic. And the reusable bags are just a pain >_>
Think about it next time you take your bags into the store.

Kat – I promise you, I’ve NEVER managed to get my bags into the store, lol!

You are so, so right.
The remakes need to stop, really it’s sad. Bring real writers back, and get rid of producers that don’t have the balls to invest in *gasp* NEW IDEAS!
Jon’s new girlfriend is 22…if they didn’t keep publishing that, I wouldn’t believe it! She looks as old as Kate, sad for the daughter of a plastic surgeon. Time to put down the smokes, sweetie. I’m older than you and I have less lines in my face! I quit smoking three years ago, it’s not that hard. Jon, you keep smoking, you deserve a short, painful life.
I always forget the greenbags in the car too. It’s all about getting into new habits…I also try to to tell them not to bag it if it’s just a few things, like at the gas station. More cities need to do plastic bag recycling, they used have huge collection bins at the grocery store, but they stopped for some reason.
Love this idea, try to make it weekly like you said!

Jen, the industry is crazy. I look at movies and ask why? Tv shows, why? Sometimes, even books. Of course no one could begin to even bother profiling new, better, smarter bloggers. But I hear you!
I hear this new girlfriend is the daughter of Kate’s free tummy tuck plastic surgeon. I heard that via my hubby, so I’m not sure if its true, as I didn’t read it myself. If that is the case that is so wrong.
It is expensive to recyle, which is why it always gets cut. But, I always save my plastic bags and use them over and over again until they tear.
I’ll try to make it weekly, but no promises. I never plan what I write, I just sit down and it flows out of me.

Hubby is so right on that one! She is the daughter of the tummy-tuck doctor. They did that before they even had their show. It was in one of the two “specials” when the tups were still really really little. That means Jon met his current girlfriend when she was just 17.
I was channel surfing a month ago I saw a few minutes of the other sextuplets show on WE and the mom was having, guess what? A tummy tuck.
By: Jen512 on July 17, 2009

I can’t believe hubby was right. Jen, I know all about Kate’s surgery, I watched the show from the beginning. I was happy for her to get that surgery, and know he is running around with that man’s daughter? WHAT A MESS!

I heard recently that in my city (Philadelphia) that there is a bill they are trying to pass to ban plastic bags in the city – meaning no business can give them out. To them its more about appearances I think (bags getting stuck in trees, on powerlines, cover drains) but I think its a great idea. If I can carry it in my hands/arms, no bag
By: Heather on July 15, 2009

Heather – Hey, even if it is for looks, its a great idea. Good for Philly! Who really wants to look at trash?
