VMAs

I

just finished watching the VMAs.

I enjoyed Madonna's...speech about MJ. I was always more of a Prince fan, never doubted for 1 second that Jackson was a freak & possibly a pedophile, but the man made some decent music and he could dance his skinny vitiligoed ass off!

I liked the Michael Jackson tribute at the beginning with all of the dancers doing the dances from his videos. I liked when Janet came out & performed part of "Scream" (My favorite MJ song EVER.)

Russell Brand was a little disappointing this year? Maybe it's because I once again feel like I have a steel rod stuck up my back and in spite of the ice packs & the heating pad I just HURT SO BAD so I zapped through most of the shit.

Lady Gaga's performance was very odd. I mean, I've seen the video for "Paparazzi" but who would have thunk that she'd start "bleeding" on stage and act like she was killed? Kudos for singing live though. The girl's got pipes. I hear it's hard to sing while lying down and she did it and still sounded great. I don't know why she changed 3 (or was it 4?) times, but whatevs.

Kanye "I'm an insane publicity whore" West has once again shown that he's the BIGGEST DOUCHE in the world by interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech for Best Female Video.

What is wrong with him?????? Seriously, he needs medication because he's fucking retarded. Luckily Beyonce was classy enough to let Taylor finish her speech when B won for Video of the Year.

Is it just me, or do the artists seem to get more and more...foolish with their VMA performances? Back in the day, Prince wore assless pants. (I really didn't need to see how hairy your ass is, Prince.) Britney came out with a snake one year. Beyonce dangled from the ceiling one year. Now Pink is doing circus tricks & Gaga is symbolicating (got that word from Wilson on House, MD) suicide or murder on stage.

Does someone have to get hurt or die before they stop trying to top the stunts from previous years and just sing the damned song? If you can sing, you really don't need all this extra crap.

What else?

I don't remember.

I'm really in a shitty mood. Pain has a way of doing that to me.

*sigh*

very summer, I say that I'm going to get rid of ALL the crap that we don't need anymore.

We started yesterday with Evan's room. He was thrilled. ;-) He has clothes that he hasn't worn since 2nd grade or something. But rather than throw them away, he rips them up and makes costumes for himself (Ninja or whatever). So we started throwing away size 12 shirts, LOL. He wasn't happy.

I know I should have bundled up all the clothes that are too small for him but still good enough to give away, but *sigh* I don't know if I have the energy to do that. Plus I have to wash them first.

Yes, I still have clothes I haven't worn since HS, but who cares? My sofa patterned suit jacket might come back in style. And my neon green Chuck Taylor knockoffs too...

Whatever.

30 minutes a day until I have more room to buy more shit and fill up all the black holes (closets that are never opened) in the house again.

This song, Lookin Boy has been going through my head all weekend.

No idea why.

Probably from the So You Think you can Dance auditions. And before I forget, have you seen "Jesse James is a dead man" on Spike TV? Watch it. I don't know why he's trying to kill himself, but it will be entertaining until he does...



We were supposed to go to his school for the free lunch program they have every summer. We haven't gone since he was in kindergarten & went there before we went to the pool. But, of course, I couldn't get to sleep until 9ish this morning.

Last thing I knew, The Boy was still awake too.

Thanks to Daddy Papersurfer, we've both become addicted to Spymaster.

Anyway, I've forgotten what I was saying. I woke up about an hour ago and cleared out all the songs from my iTunes that I haven't played since 2007 or before (yes, I had some shit I haven't played since 2005...)

Now I need to take a nap.

And wait for The Boy to wake up so we can do another 30 minutes on his room.

:-)

OH! Did you see what Sacha Baron Cohen did to Eminem last night at the VMAs? LMFAO! I started seeing something about it on Twitter. Found a few videos that hadn't yet been taken down due to copyright, you might be able to find one that hasn't too, if you hurry. LOL.

That's all.
