What? Tiger Cheated? No way!!! (Sarcasm)



What, Tiger Woods cheated????? Noooooooo, never. (Sarcasm)

It's his business, not ours, however, it doesn't mean that he won't have to deal with the consequences of his actions and as a person in the spotlight sometimes (whether fair or not) their consequences might be greater than the average Joe. Let's not forget that forgiveness doesn't mean that you don't have to deal with what you've done. And in his case, unfortunately its going to be a little harder than ole Leroy who cheated on Becky Sue in some back yard farm land in the middle of nowhere.

However, being a celebrity also has it's perks when transgressions occur. For instance, an impoverish drug addicted woman on heroin, crack, X, is usually thrown in jail and locked up for who knows how long, if caught and found with a substance on her vs the celeb or high profile figure who instead is admitted to a treatment facility and receives proper rehabilitation because those options are accessible to them. Again, both are an affliction, transgression, illness, however you would like to describe it, but one person is at a higher probability of a positive outcome because of their status given the same crime vs another individual because of their lack of fame or access. Again, both have to deal with the consequences of their actions, whether fair or not.

At the end of the day, we shouldn't cast stones, pass judgement, etc. But we must also understand that to every action there is a reaction. Today the media is the reaction for Tiger's actions.

Tomorrow, my attending will probably yell at me for being mean to the transitional year and so on. . . . I guess that's life, you still deal with the laws of the Land even after the Father forgives you. (And the laws of the land aren't fair).

Kayne West and the VMAs. . . stop the conspiracy theories!


Okay, if you didn't get to see Kanye's rude (yet you have to admit humorous disruption of Taylor Swift's VMA acceptance award, then watch below. When it originally aired, I wa sleeping post call. However, the facebook status' of 100s of users began commenting on Kanye.

"Taylor is too good for Kanye West and MTV"
"First Serena, now Kanye"
"I'm boycotting Kanye".

Seeing these comments, I decided to use google and find out what the deal was. . .

Anyhow, there are many people who claim this whole "Beyonce had one of the greatest video's of all time" bit was staged. Here is why I think it wasn't.

1) Single Ladies was NOT one of the greatest videos of all time. I repeat NOT. The song isn't even all that hot. There are 100s, probably thousands of videos better than that one. The Scientist by Cold Play, You Got Me by the Roots, pretty much any Michael Jackson Video, Hello by Lionel Richie (ok, that last one was a stretch, but you get my point). . .
2) I think Ye was DRUNK. He was holding a big ole bottle of liquid courage all during the red carpet. Liquid courage combined with the biggest ego in the world = rude comments on national TV
3) Single Ladies was NOT the best video of all time :)

Oh well, love him or hate him, Mr. West=interesting

Best Michael Jackson Tribute Ever!


Well, MJ's death has been ruled a homicide. While Dr. Conrad is (and should) go down for violating the first and foremost principle to "do no harm", we must remember that MJ was also not totally innocent. Prescription drug abuse must no longer be overlooked.

The physicians who feed this should be punished, but those who abuse prescription drugs should also be held accountable, just as the crack head who goes to jail, so should the Vicoden abuser. . . or better yet, maybe people will realize that drug users DO NOT belong in jail, but in rehab. Until then, treat everyone equal under the law. . .that includes you Rush Limbaugh.

Now enough of the preaching, enjoy the best Michael Jackson Tribute ever. It was created and performed by inmates at a Filipino correctional facility (aka prison). ENJOY!
