Fantasia - Give The Girl A Break!

I just can't believe how petty some people can be!

Just in case you have never heard of her, Fantasia won on American Idol some years back.

First I read about her having some financial problems because she was being sued by her own father.

Then I heard a comment from a local radio host that was just in bad taste!

Now I am reading online about the latest news - people are giving her a bad time about her spelling and grammar on Twitter.

I think that this is really just a shame! I think that a lot of people are just probably jealous of her. I really admire her a lot and think people are just 'hatin on her because they are jealous of her.

You go girl! and you just go on and keep doing what you are doing!

Much As I Hate To Say It - We're All (including Me) Getting Older!

Just saw this ad for vericose veins and spider veins and it made me think about stretch marks!

I really don't think that there is a be all/end all solution for stretch marks - although I do use cocoa butter on them and that has seemed to make them fade a little!

I guess a lot of us strive for a perfect body - you know one with no stretch marks or veins showing, no cellulite, etc.....................

Sinbad! - I Saw Him On Television Last Night!

Sinbad is one of my most favorite comedians but I was wondering why I hadn't seen him anywhere for a while. The last time I saw him was on one of the older "episodes" of "Girlfrieds" (which has been cancelled by the way!)

He was on one of the ministry shows - on TBN I think - talking about how he was getting disappointed with the way that his career was going. There was a time when he was at a "peak where he was appearing in major budgeted movies. His HBO specials were legendary and they still are. He said that HBO considers him not controversial enough to give another special.

Sinbad is a very funny guy and I hope that with his talent he will be working again soon! I find it hard to believe that someone with such talent is having a hard time finding work in Hollywood - but then again this is Hollywood that we are talking about!

Update! - I have been thinking about this and an idea came to me! I don't know why someone hasn't done this already but I have a script idea in mind for Sinbad!

Of course now this means more work for me but this idea is just strong in my head! And after reading things like the law of attraction and how one should go for their dreams I have decided that I am going to go a head with this!

Well the very first thing that I will have to do is make a story outling!

• next is creating and completing the story
  
  
• next is making a screenplay out of it!

I mean if the woman who wrote "Mama Mia" can be a millionaire then why can't I!

That is an interesting story though about the woman who wrote "Mama Mia". It started out as a successful musical and now it is a movie with Meryl Streep! I heard on television that she was deeply in debt and was worrying about how she was going to pay her bill but she decided to write the story anyway! And now she is a multi-millionaire!

I Really Have To Get Over My Loathing Of Doing My Income Taxes!

I should be grateful that I'm getting any income in the first place!

Second of all I think that I am the one who is just making it complicated!

I have 3 tax forms that I have to fill out yearly as far as my income taxes go! I have a local income tax called an Earned Income tax which is having to pay a local tax on one's income. Of course I have the state income tax. And last but not least there is the federal income tax forms that I have to fill out.

Believe it or not I have already completed two of them and I have one more left to go - which is my state income tax. I'm missing one form so I can either call and get the form mailed to me or I can download a copy of their income tax form from their website.

I really should be happy that I'm getting a refund as opposed to having to pay any taxes on my income.

But really I think I'm the one that is making the whole thing complicated!

Don Imus?

Well imagine my surprise when I looked at my TV Guide to see that Don Imus is back on the air again! I probably thought that he was going to be back on the air again but I just didn't expect it to be so soon!

I'm kind of surprised that he is back on TV again - although the station he was on was one of the channels from my Direct TV channels and its a station that I have never heard of before.

But it also made me think of something else and that is "second chances". Is it really naive for me to think that he would never be let back on the air (although I thought that he might turn up on paid radio like Howard Stern) after the things that he said?

Look at Britney Spears and what's going on in her life which looks like turmoil to me but yet and still she has come out with a critically acclaimed album.

I'm not saying that everybody deserves a second chance but it looks like they are getting it - one way or another!

The Christmas "Spirit"?

I asked my brother if he was going to decorate his apartment for Christmas and he said to me "What's the point?". I think that this is very sad. The one time I didn't decorate for Christmas was the time that I just did not have any money for presents and I also figured "what's the point?". As sad as it sounds I'm glad that I went through this experience because it helped me to appreciate the Christmas season even more. It's not just about Christmas Eve and Christmas day but the days leading up to Christmas.

Even with all the bad news about people shooting at malls and such people still have the holiday spirit in them and when they show it it becomes quite contagious!

I doubt that my brother will change his mind about decorating his apartment for the holiday but for me I'm doing the decorating thing! I even have a gift already under my tree!
