WHO'S WHO


I don't get Megan Fox' appeal. To me she just looks like a skinnier Bratz doll. I think its creepy how she's always saying in interviews how she wants to be just like Angelina Jolie, and now she's starting to resemble her and how she's always talking about sex. To me it just sounds like someone who would do anything for attention from men. I don't know if its low self esteem, poor education or what, but someone needs to tell her to just be herself.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO SOCIETY?

A person I work with came to me yesterday telling me about this video he just had to send me that was so hilarious, and it turned out it was a mash up of hitler speeches that made it sound like he was shilling for cell phones or something (I didn't actually watch it, I'm just going by his description), and I was like "why is this being made?". Honestly, who thinks this is funny? Hitler is responsible for one of the biggest genocides in history, and someone thinks its appropriate to make a "funny" video starring him? To me that is just disgusting and that person should be shunned, not made an "internet sensation" which I'm sure will happen any day now. It just makes me sick that there are people out there who would find that amusing or worthy to pass around. What are people thinking?! And don't try to give me the argument that satirizing it lessens the stigma, we should not be doing that. Some things should stay awful and uncomfortable, as a reminder to everyone how good they have it. This also goes for the terms rape, nigger (and any other racial slur).

WHERE DID I LEAVE MY HEART?


Ever since I moved to SF every single person I speak to asks me how I like it and I always try to be polite and say I like and its fun and nice a good change of pace. People here tend to get offended if you dare say anything that isn't a ringing endorsement of the city. But here's my deep, dirty, dark secret. I don't care about it. I don't like it or dislike it, I'm totally ambivilent about it. I can take it or leave it. It's not that it's a bad place or anything but there's nothing spectacular about it. The weather is retarded, the people are not as friendly as you originally think, the bars close at like midnight, the gays think they own the place. It's just a place to live for a while. Maybe in another 6 months I'll think differently but right now I really don't give a shit about it. If it wasn't for my job, I'd never move here. So there, kill me if you want but that's the truth.

AN ISRAEL THAT WON'T KILL YOU


Has anyone seen the billboards for Israel tourism?? There is one right outside my building and I have to say it's no I heart NY! I tried to get a picture of it but my camera phone is shit and I'm like the one person in the world without a digital camera (hint hint christmas present idea!).
