Stupid Media

Shocking...yes. Why do things like this make me feel sad? I don't know. It was the same way with Anna Nicole Smith (my previous role model only because the standard for men to date were very old, very sick, and very rich). I was sad and strangely fascinated. I watched as the Danielynn story unfolded and my daughter quickly learned who Anna Nicole Smith. It's always sad to me when someone who is young and famous dies. It never seems right.

Today again, it was shocking to see that Heath Ledger had died. I will admit that I pretty much have only seen him in the 10 Things I Hate About You and A Knights Tale, but he was great. I mean, what teenage girl didn't like the 10 Things I Hate About You and watched it every time they showed it on TBS? I suppose that's rhetorical.

I hate the media and all of the hype that goes into these things. I mean seriously, let the poor man die with his dignity intact...well I question how much of his dignity is intact as he is known the most for his role of making love to another man....but regardless, let him go in peace. And please stop pulling the Olsen twins into everything that happens lately. No, it was not Mary-Kate's apartment that he was in. She was too busy smooching with Lance Armstrong to have Heath over that night. Please. Stupid media. Listen to what they reported his "strange" drug (otherwise known as Ambien) was that he was taking. About a million people take this drug every day...I know this as a fact.

"Some 500 people described odd behaviours from walking, crashing cars, having sex and falling from balconies after popping a pill.

One patient gained 23 kilograms over seven months after unknowingly eating from the refrigerator while asleep. Another patient woke up with a paintbrush in her hand after painting the front door."

Now is there a comma missing? Are the strange effects having sex? Or are the strange effects having sex and falling from balconies happening at the same time. Weird. Why are they having sex on a balcony after they have taken a sleeping pill? Secondly, I had a roommate once who ate an entire monster piece of chocolate cake out of her fridge without knowing it. She woke up enraged at us for eating her cake until we all denied it, she went back to her bed, and realized that there were crumbs there. She wasn't taking Ambien. The media will blame anything. Sometimes I think our bodies just give out. Our hearts stop. Maybe it isn't always a conspiracy.

As far as Britney is concerned...I'm not sure I can organize my thoughts about her enough to put them down on paper. I feel sad for her. The media is waiting for her to die just to end this tragic scene that we are exposed to every day that she is living. They don't really want her to get better. They want her to die and leave a great story behind about money and fame and boys and drugs and family matters that are of no business to them or anyone else.

I'm so glad I didn't chose a life of acting. I was so close to pursuing that and taking my role next to Jonathan Taylor Thomas (JTT) when I was 9-years-old, but thankfully something deterred me from that.

Night.
