For as much blah blah blah as I do, I actually manage to pretty well keep my mouth shut, especially when it comes to stuff on the news. Do you know why? Because if there is someone so opinionated out there that they need to tell everyone around them their views, they aren't actually interested in hearing my thoughts on it, they just want to hear themselves and speak their "rightness" out loud. But today I ALMOST spoke my mind. Considering the source that was speaking loudly though, it would have been pointless, so I checked out of that conversation asap.
But I'll let it out here. :)
I am not condoning what Tiger Woods did as a good thing. In fact, I don't even buy the sex addiction thing. He's not addicted to sex. Sex addicts (duh!) don't share personal and private information with the people they are doing. It's about sex. No doubt our boy had some fun, but he was emotionally connecting with these people. HA!!! HAHA! He did NOT manage PLATONICNESS with them. (100 points for me)People are mad that such a public figure had the balls to be human and make stupid human mistakes...they are mad because they placed him as a role model and he fell from grace.
I'm sure many people disagree with me, but I think we don't need to keep crucifying him. We may not be public figures, but in our own lives, we are stars. Do we really want or need or benefit from having our mistakes shown to the whole world so that we can be eaten up by the paranahs, waiting for us to fall so they can point and say how wrong we are and how right they are? I promise you that at least - AT LEAST 1 person reporting on Tigers oops's has or is doing the same thing Tiger did. Just because we haven't made that particular mistake does not make us any better than he is. How many presidents have we had who did that a lot and often. I used to think that when you made a move into the public, you owed the public at least that much- to behave in a decent manner. But do you know what? What doesn't change is that they are still humans, still stupid, they will still struggle with marriage and it might be even harder for them with the way their lives are. I think it's *our* mistake to expect perfection out of people who are famous. I think it shows how primative we are and how NOT FAR we have come in our evolution, to expect anything different from others than we do from ourselves. Again, I'm not speaking directly about the particulars of the mistakes here. We have decided that some things are "okay" to do wrong. There is no press conference over the lie that Oprah told last week, and surely she told a lie to someone. I mean STOP EVERYTHING! YOUNG GIRLS LOOK UP TO HER! You know? No, lying is okay. We LOVE when they get caught drinking or drugging or sexing or pregnant or dead, don't we? I don't agree with it. That is probably why I'm unpolitical also. First of all, anyone who runs for Pres has no idea what they are actually getting into. There's so much buying/lying/covering up that goes on behind the scenes. No one knows. So i don't fault anyone once they get in there and start "effing" things up (those very same things make other people cheer, I realize). I turn off the TV. Whatever. It doesn't matter to me. Today is running the same for me as yesterday was, as last year did, as 3 years ago did. Probably unpopular opinion, but this is just my unimportant, unfamous life so it's all good! Leave Tiger alone. We just want to see him play golf anyway. He learned a horrible lesson, one none of us would want to experience. Of course, judging is the thing that I work so hard not to do. I fail often, but I sure do try. I can't judge what I can't understand. What I do understand is humanness, and failing. He's a mess. We should leave him alone and let the man golf.
There's a contest going on right now. I just entered it. Well, there are LOTS of contests going on right now, but this one, I really like. People who want to participate send in a 1 minute long video explaining our personal expression of how we are all one. Mine was a little longer because I am an enormous geek. What sucks is that I really AM a geek and I just sent my geekiness off to whoever is going to see it. Impulsive me! I am not sure why I even did that. The Prize is all right, but it isn't ALL THAT. If I were to be one of the winners (and we're not holding our breath, it wasn't a nerd of the year contest. THAT'S the contest I need to find ASAP!) I'd win free admission to a seminar by NDW. In Oregon. Which is great. BUT, I'd have to pay for our airfare and accomodations. hehehhehehe!! OH, but we would get to have dinner with NDW and his wife. Which would be fun too, but really? That's a lot of money. But did that stop me from doing it? OF COURSE NOT! Not much does, does it?
10:32. One hour and Cullen is home. Half Hour and WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY is on. YAY!
