Damn, the Oscars bring out the hate like no one's business

        I don't get why everyone was so pissed off with Seth McFarlane's hosting job. Is it because of the boob song? I loved it and I'm really glad someone addressed it, not gonna lie. My only complaint is that it wasn't controversial enough but that is clearly my own issues creeping up. He was funny, some jokes were on point, he kept it moving, he sang great! Sure it wasn't the best hosting we've been but certainly not the worst. All the hate is why we can't get great people to host! It's a thankless job and it's impossible to walk away unscathed.
       Not only is there hate for McFarlane but holy moly there is tons of hate on Anne Hathaway - and I joined that hate train! I'm ashamed to say so because I LOVE HER! At least I used to... what happened?! No denying she is a great actress and I don't hate her for that, but recently she seems so... obnoxious? I just... don't... get it... maybe someone can help me out here. I used to LOVE seeing her interviews but now I want to throw-up in my mouth every time she speaks. I can't quite put my finger on it, but before she was so much more playful and cool but now... she seems so stiff and it comes off as she's trying to be perfect... I don't know, that could be my whole thing but I also love her so much and I have a lot of respect for her - but I can't help but eye roll every time I see her on T.V I'M SO TORN!!! I was all over twitter during the Oscars and I was so shocked at the amount of hate out there for her. Has everyone always hated her this much or is this just a fad? Are people just pissed off at her insane amount of success and talent? I am, I'm not gonna lie. I totally wish I was her (minus the haircut). I would love to be cat woman, be in Les Miserables and have Hugh Jackman as my bestie. Who wouldn't want that?! So if it's not jealousy... what is it? Please comment, I'm sooo curious!!!
      More hate.... Argo. I get why Canadians are pissed off that in the movie the CIA came up with the escape idea and didn't credit Canada for it but boo hoo get over it. It's a fricken movie! The story is about the CIA guy - not Canada and the movie was awesome and they thanked us, get the fuck over it. "Typical Hollywood" - yes typical Hollywood! What else did you expect? Move on...
      Russel Crowe - you can only feel bad for the guy.
      Jennifer Lawrence - ha, just messing with you, everyone loves her!! You're fucked if you hate her, she is a treasure!

guns don't kill people... bullets do STUPID!

       Here we go again!! The big debate on guns. Do people kill or do guns kill or does mental illness kill? Or do sharks kill? I don't know, I'm not a psychologist or a marine biologist. I'm not even American so what do I know about guns... I've only seen a gun on a police officer. I really don't understand the obsession that some Americans have about their guns. Does it make you feel powerful? Is it an extension of your small dick? I really don't get it so please if you do, leave a comment and explain to me why you go gaga over your gun.
      It's really simple. If we get extreme here, I'm talking devil horning your fingers extreme... we get rid of guns... then what? What's the worst that could happen? The absolute worst!! More stabbings? Not as many cool movies? Hmm... when you put it that way, that is a bummer... fuck it, guns for all!! I really do love the irony that some people think the solution to mass shootings is MORE GUNS!! That's like telling a fatty that the solution to them losing weight is going to McDonalds. Or to solve our bad education system is to take away books. Or like telling a be a necrophiliac the solution to their problem is to work in a morgue - you know, to keep them safe... really?!
       There are so many issues dealing with the whole mass shooting craze that it's not just guns that need to be addressed, but how people ignore mental illness and just ignore everything in general. It seems like people are falling further and further from logic that it's pointless to even tell them to look before crossing the street because they'll just argue it's not their job and they have the right to cross whenever they want. Of course once they get hit by a car people wonder why and then make the same arguments and it's just a vicious cycle and I feel like I'm losing my point... oh well, not my problem; you're not reading properly.
        The other issue is the media. What happens a lot of the time is the media makes the killer this monster and makes him famous to killing 'x' amount and how he did it, etc. Unfortunately, what this does is it inspires future killers to want to top him. People want to be remembered when they die, so if you're going out a loser, you may as well be a remembered loser. It's sick and messed up but then again that's the reasoning with people that want to kill children to be famous.
       Another hypothetical, what if the media didn't mention the man's name or revealed his face? They just focused on the heroic people and praised the work of the those who saved lives? If something isn't working, then fix it. Why use the same mentality? Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Who really here has mental illness? OOOOH I mind fucked you! (Pun intended)

Is everyone stuck in the slut phase?

      I am a fan on Jenna Marbles and I just watched a video she made about what she doesn't understand about sluts. It made me wonder myself what the deal is and I agree that this is a good conversation for people to have so we can understand each other better.
      For myself personally, I never went through a slut phase. I'm a big dork and never scored high with the fellas so whoever I did get I would capture them for a long relationship and that's how I get sex. I even thought if I missed out on having a slut phase and I have noooo regrets. Seeing what's out there and how people disrespect themselves is not someone I want to experience myself. I'm proud that I'm the minority and didn't have this phase. I'm also very confused behind the logic of sluts (by definition, I mean people who have sex with strangers). If we lived in a safer world then I think it wouldn't be such a big deal but because of the serious risks that are involved such as diseases, going home with a murderer, stage five clingers, etc. There are way too many risks than benefits. Also, how do you even know if the person will be any good? You just wasted your time and a number for what? Now.... I just want to say, I'm not speaking specifically about women. Man whores aren't very appealing to women either. Thaaaaaaats right! You didn't know that did ya!? This is a wake up call for all yous!!!
      Then again, this is just my opinion and I'm speaking as an outsider so also keep in mind if you send mail offended you're probably a slut. Hahahahahahahahah I wish I saw the look on your face when you read that...Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha ahem... Sorry.... I had a moment, back to the article:
       I read an article recently that men's prime motivation is sex and getting a woman. Men get good jobs to provide a good life for his future wife and get lots of sex. Men are getting easy (waaaaay too easy) sex and now that women are being more educated and getting better jobs, men dont have to get good jobs anymore to land a wife. So now, all they want in life is at easy access and women are complaining that there aren't ambitious men. We created this vicious cycle. How do we get things working again? Easy.... Quit being sluts!
       I know that's not the only solution but it's a good start. One man gets his heart broken and goes from being a nice guy to a jerk because they think women only like jerks. Where would they get that idea? Maybe because there are a lot of jerk dads out there who messed up their daughters, maybe because nice guys get confused and think girls want jerks when really girls want a guy to be a man and not such a whimp. Ouch.... Yeah girls are harsh.... Now, the difference between a nice guy and a man isn't that far of a gap. We LOVE nice guys but with a pinch of aggression. Not the "bitch get me a sandwich" *ass slap* kind of aggression, the kind of man that knows what he wants and stands up for what he believes in. Basically men and women want the same thing. Men and woman. A woman wants a man and a man wants a woman. It's very simple. Look at the old movies and subtract the slaps across the face and that's what we all want. Men want a lady on the street and a freak in the sheets. A woman wants a man to kill the spiders and make her feel special. For the gay/lesbian community, I'm sorry but I have no idea what you're looking for so....yeah. 
         So for sluts, I know some of you will argue that you have strong sexual appetites. That's awesome, but everything in moderation. You might have a strong alcohol appetite but we call them alcoholics so there ya go. I'm sorry but if you go home with a stranger, chances are this person has done this many times before. You're just another number. You're not someone special. Even if you've gone on a couple dates, they're still not someone you know. You really get to know a person after 3 months. YES. I said it. Try at least a month and if you can't keep it in your pants or keep your legs closed then maybe you should explore why that is. You might be surprised by the answer. I'm not saying this to bring on judgement. I'm doing this to bring peace in people's lives and bring back balance in the whole crazy dating world. Hopefully this helps. God speed and good luck to you.

Have yourself a merry little - meh, fuck it...

     What's this? Snow? Lights? Stampedes? Suicides? It must be CHRISTMAS SEASON!!!! Why one day is celebrated for a season, I don't know but I don't care! Like most people, I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas. For the record, I'm agnostic so the whole celebrating Jesus isn't the reason why I love it. I mostly celebrate Santa, shiny things, commercialism and food which makes me the perfect candidate for the Christmas sucker.
     What I love most about Christmas: the lights. It sounds super lame and small minded (hello!) but nothing makes me feel more bright inside than seeing twinkle lights along a frosty window. There's something so calming about it that helps you forget you're surrounded by people crying over getting a 2% latte than the non-fat they asked for. Besides lights, I also love the family time. I know family time scares a lot of people around the holidays, but there are some family members I like seeing and for some reason the only time to see them is around Christmas... strange... it's nice though that we are forced to see each other at least once a year or else who knows when you'll see them next.
     Things that blow about Christmas is the obvious stuff. The stress that it brings! Christmas arrives and then sucks out your hopes and dreams with cold bitter anger and then you wonder why you're pushing a small child out of your way to get to a store before it closes and telling a Grandma to "shove it" while going insane listening to the same Christmas carols over and over in ever store, mall and restaurant! MAKE THE MADNESS END!!!!! Ahem... too much?
     The stress of getting presents shouldn't be stressful. I enjoy getting gifts for people (when I have the money) because it gives you that time to stop and think about the person and what they would appreciate. I am noticing that there are less people at the mall - THANK GOD for online shopping! One thing I do want to say to parents; when it comes to getting gifts for your kids, keep their expectations low. I keep hearing from stressed parents, "what am I going to tell my kid if they're sold out?! My kid HAS to have it!" My God, get a hold of yourself man! First off, they won't think Santa doesn't like them because he didn't get them a Wii. You need to tell your kids that Santa is focusing on the kids in Africa who don't have fresh water. Guilt those spoiled fuckers into knowing that they have it good and Santa doesn't need to bring them shit! Expect one gift kid and be glad you have running water, food in your stomach and a warm bed to sleep in you little twerp. Then, when they see they have an abundance of gifts on Christmas day, you best believe it will be tears of happiness streaming down their cute little faces. It will be a Christmas miracle!!! You're welcome...
     It all doesn't matter anyways. The good, the bad and the perverted Santa is only around once every year so try to find the best way to cope with it. The main theme is to bring happiness around you and be with the people you love. You can't go wrong with that right? Except I will have to choke a bitch if they eat my turkey leg.

Does sense exist anymore?

         If you're like me, you probably feel like the world is going mad. MAD I TELL YOU!! Everything contradicts each other and people seem less and less connected and more and more stupid. Was this always around and I'm noticing it more now or did something happen and it's been getting worse? From the Presidential Debate, to Honey Boo Boo, to sticking our noses where they don't belong, it all leaks down to entertainment. Sick sick sick entertainment.
         One big example of the freak show of course is the Presidential Election coming up for the U.S. Why does a Canadian girl like myself care? I don't. I just find it very very very entertaining. That's what it is anyway isn't it? The debates are initially there to talk about the issues, but what's the point when the candidates are changing their minds on their opinions and making up facts as they go along? If THEY don't care, it won't matter who wins anyway. Half of the civilians can't even vote so what is the point in any of this? What they're doing isn't working so either find a way to make it work using different tools and ideas or go home and watch the country sink into the ocean.
         Who here doesn't know about Honey Boo Boo? This poor kid that was born into a family of trailer trash savages and will forever be tormented for life and probably die of a heroine overdose at age fifteen. The worst thing of all is that people watch this show to laugh at a six year old and her family. Yes, her mother is fucked. Yes, Honey Boo Boo is a disturbingly funny child, but bringing her on talk shows, talking about her to prove how retarded a SIX YEAR OLD is, I find abusive. I get that the mother wants to make a good buck to feed her kids (KFC - had to slip that joke in) and live, but to use your daughter to get ahead I think is child abuse. We as an audience should also take full responsibility as well for even giving this fat idiot a chance to have this show. The mother is probably thinking the audience is far more stupid than her, which is sadly true.
         It seems like gossip and invading people's homes with opinions (I get the irony that I'm blogging about my opinion, thanks) is beyond out of control. We have social media to make us feel like our voices are much more important than anyone else's. Something that ties all this together is the pure hate people have for their lives. I'm going to pull a Romney and make up a statistic that I think is correct, but I'm going to say 90% of people hate their jobs. They hate going to work. They spend a minimum of 40 hours a week doing something they despise with people they can't stand. Big companies have thousands of workers and a lot of rules. CEO's also hate their jobs and are stressed out as well. They work probably (another Romney guess) 60 hours a week min! Why can't we change the rules? Why can't work be fun? I love that a lot of new companies (run by the younger generation) are including fun and excitement for their teams and look what happens, people love going to work and they are proud of their job and feel fulfilled. What a concept!!
         I'm not saying you should ONLY play at work, I'm saying if you incorporate fun, productivity goes up and your company will blossom. Do you know how many jobs I had that I hated and I bad mouthed the company to anyone and everyone? I wish I was paid to bitch about the company, I would have gotten paid more. Imagine if I LOVED the company I worked for... Everyone would want to be on board with your vision. Who knew?! Bosses, welcome to 2012. Things are changing and you're driving your company into the ground if you don't get with it. People are starting their own companies more than ever because they are realizing that they are spending their time with miserable jerks and doing work that they don't give two shits about. Open your mind and creativity. What would Honey Boo Boo do? Wait... scratch that last sentence...

Pros and cons of being a grown up

Hey kids! You think life sucks because you don't get to do anything? Count your blessings... being a grown up isn't as amazing as you may think. I'm only in my mid-twenties and as much fun as you may think that is, it's bullshit. I'm not married, nor do I have children (thank God) so I can't even imagine how much more stressful it will be. I will give you a pros and cons list of being a grown up!

CONS
1) never winning the lottery
2) you develop more addictions. Adults always say "I NEED COFFEE" or "I NEED A DRINK". Life makes you dependent on things to make life easier... or at least thats what we think
3) you get more stuck in your ways. Don't you hate it when you try to explain to an adult but they always know more/better? Yeah... that adult either becomes you or someone you know... gross isn't it?
4) BILLS BILLS BILLS
5) Do you know how expensive the dentist is?? If I get a cavity, I'm fucked...
6) working a job you hate
7) Having a stooooopid boss
8) Now that you can vote, you educate yourself on the world and watch the news! Now you become an informed citizen and you see the awful world the adults before you created. Go team.
9) I had NO idea how flippin expensive a car is... it costs more than rent! (Which is why I don't have a car...)
10) public transportation and car pooling
11) it's creepy seeing people you know getting married and having babies... I can barely feed and burp myself!
12) can't ask your parents for help - but lets be honest, we still do... and that only reminds me of how much I suck at being a grown up
13) Having to wear "office attire" ....WHAT?!?!
14) Having teenagers not get the reference to your jokes
15) being called old when you're in your mid twenties
16) Being compared to other adults
17) learning about taxes, economics, mortgages... eww....
18) cook and clean your own shit
19) trying to figure out who you are and what you want.... exhausting...
20) knowing that the "teenager you" is disappointed in the "adult you"


PROS
1)You can eat whatever you want! That's right! My first year on my own all I ate was Kraft Dinner, chocolate lucky charm cereal and peanut butter and jam sandwiches. It was beautiful
2)Go to bed when you want. 
3)Your parents can nag at you but all you have to do is hang up and the lectures stop
4) PARTIES!!!!! Need I say more? 
5) Having friends over at your own place!
6) You get to do whatever you want with your life. Go to school in Paris! Go to jail! Whatever! Live a little! 
7) Play the lottery
8) Discovering life 
9) create long lasting relationships
10) Completing goals and creating new ones

See? It's not all bad... of course I listed more cons... I'm sure there are pros and cons I missed. I think though in the long run, you have more responsibility but more freedom at the same time. As much as being an adult sucks, I wouldn't go back.
