stop caring

i sometimes fake being passionate about things. by sometimes, i mean often, and by often i mean i don't genuinely care about a damn thing unless it provides fodder for me to get in a fight with someone (preferably a Carmine Gotti-like Yankees fan at a dive bar in Queens, where i'm certain the only reason i'm still alive as i walk away from the "debate" is because i'm a girl. unfair? chicks still only make 75 cents to the man's dollar, so that extra quarter is paid back in being loud and obnoxious after a few too many and walking away without a black eye).

one of the things i might actually be passionate about is the media. relaaaaaaaaax! i'm not gonna sit here and pretend i know enough about the inner-workings of the media to intelligently comment. actually, you know what? i didn't pay $100 grand for a degree in what amounts to being a blend of pop-culture and creative writing for nothing, so i will comment. and you'll shut up and read!

i hate infotainment. i hate that Paris Hilton getting out of jail/being in jail is the number one story on CNN right now. and i LOVE celebs and their crazy lives, but there's a time and a place for it. and the time is not the 11pm ABC nightly news and the place is not MSNBC. it's 3pm on a Wednesday when you're clawing your eyes out at work, sweating out the 11 'tinis from the night before and the place is dlisted or thesuperficial. I mean, does it affect my life at all if Paris is in jail? Other than that my girl Lindsay Lohan will get more blog time, no, it doesn't. So get the ho off my CNN homepage.

i read a really interesting article yesterday about push and pull news, which is where this animosity is coming from - that or the everything bagel i unfortunately (or fortunately) scarfed this morning....the poppy seeds - every damn time!

anyway, i don't know why i decided to make things so heavy this morning. i'm actually in a really good mood today. friday, the weekend, 77 degrees in sunny Manhattan, and John Mayer and J.Simp have officially broken up.

and i decided long ago (never to walk in annnnnnnyone's shadow!!) that every post should end on a high note. so let me leave you with this throwback video. lest we forget....


UPDATE!! CNN BREAKING NEWS: Paris Hilton Ordered Back to Jail. Leaves Court Room Screaming!!

and i'm praying there's video...
