Did Jesus Die For Everybody? How 'Bout Whoring Sea Donkeys? Did He Die For Them Too?

I've admitted before that gossip blogs are my favorite guilty pleasure even tho I've diasagreed with them a time or two and think that they can be incredibly catty and shallow (like dlisted or perezhilton), but I still read 'em every single stinkin day! Yesterday, dlisted had a nice picture posted of Paris Hilton, naked, and kneeling in front of a HU-MOUNG-US BIG BLACK COCK! And supposedly this dickie belongs to C-Lo, the lead singer of Gnarls Barkley. Now, if she wants to go ahead and give him a blow job somewhere that's all right, but my question is: was this in front of somebody else who then subsequently took the picture or did C-Lo take the picture? Was she coked up out of her mind or so drunk she thought that maybe it would be cool or funny to strike a pose such as this? The only scenario that would make me feel a little bit of sympathy for her is if C-Lo took the picture himself and she couldn't get the camera in her hands to delete it. The being way too high or drunk elicits a mere touch of my sympathy, too. A LITTLE. Because haven't we all been too drunk and too stupid at SOME point in our lives? However if that's the case, an incident such as this picture would be enough to send me to the nearest rehab quicker than I can say "Can I get another vodka and cranberry please?"

I'm talking about this because the other day I read a piece written by Heather Havrilesky in salon.com and she called her a whoring sea donkey and I felt that might be a little harsh. But Sheesh! Not any more! God I hope this is a fake and I'm getting all worked up over nothing! But why do I have the sneakin feelin that Paris Hilton thinks this is really cool and maybe even put that out there herself? Am I that jaded now?

I'm writing about this because everything in my life this week is fairly copacetic... OOH! I have fabulous news! I got a whopping check for over three thousand dollars from Child Support last week! I had no idea this was even coming. I must say it's a rather PLEASANT surprise to open your mailbox and find one of those. I'm buying a new car. Well, not a new car but a better one than the one I currently drive. Last Saturday we went to Springfield to buy it. It needs a lot of work. And today we are driving for over four hours to Wisconsin to get a motor for it. But when it gets done it will be the cutest 93 Civic you ever saw! Geez I need to get a new life. I'm so fuckin poor that a 93 Honda is a serious upgrade.

Best Movie I Saw This Week: Hollywoodland. You know why my favorite performance in the film was by Ben Affleck? Because he portrayed tragic actor George Reeves as somebody I'd have really liked to have been friends with. Reeves was a decent talent, handsome, charming, very funny and was a big drinker. He was found dead in his bedroom and the cops ruled his death a suicide, but his case has been one of the biggest Hollywood mysteries that has never really been solved because there are people that think he could never have done that and that he was murdered. The scene that made me jump out of my chair? When he mentioned my hometown! I forgot! George Reeves was from the same town I'm from! Thanks for the shoutout Ben! Oh, and one other curious thing that made me snicker: There was a sex scene with Ben and Robin Tunney and when he's coming he emits this weird Chewbacca like noise. It made me drop my popcorn I laughed so hard. And I know it wasn't supposed to be a comedic scene but I couldn't help it.

Best song I Heard This Week: Bring It On Home To Me by Little big Town. I think the lyrics just seem to say it all:

When your long day is over
And you can barely drag your feet
The weight of the world is on your shoulders
I know what you need
Bring it on home to me

Yep. After a long day working at Target I can barely drag my feet. And yes, everything else this song says represents how I feel. At least today. The last post I made had us on the verge of breaking up, but I was just pissed about a lot of things and I'm feeling better.

Book I'm Reading: The Jesus Papers(!) by Michael Baigent. Oh how I'm lovin this book! I'm reading a book that my mother would LOATHE and I wish she would READ! And, shockingly, in my opinion it's not necesarrily anti-Jesus. It's just anti-Catholic and promotes an idea that maybe Jesus wasn't the Messiah after all. What I was so RELIEVED to read here is that there is so much more concrete evidence that He actually exsisted on this earth 2000 years ago. See, I wasn't even really sure that He even had. Oh sure, it's what's been drilled into my head for 37 years that Jesus is/was the son of God and all that, but did I really KNOW he was real? At least a real person? After reading this I can really believe it. But! This doesn't answer the more important question of whether or not he really died for our sins and rose again and sits at the right hand of the Father! Or if there's a heaven and hell that you go to when you die! But do you wanna know what I 100 percent beleive? That if having religious faith in God and Jesus gives you peace and makes you a better person then it's a positive thing and you need to stick with it.

Top News Story: Well, there's some shit involved with our current attorney general and how he fired seven U.S attornies and there is some sort of mystery as to exactly why. Or maybe the news has said why and I wasn't really paying attention. I dunno. Yawn. It involves our genius president and his puppetmaster Karl Rove. It gives lots of fodder for Bill Maher.

Well! The trip to Milwaukee was FAB U LUSSS! We went to the casino there and won 350 dollars! WTF???? I NEVER WIN SHIT! That was the most exciting thing we did. Well, that and the hotel hijinx of course, but I won't go into detail there... ahem!

How can two adults in a serious relationship not go away for the weekend sometimes? But people will tell you all the time that they never do that. We are like two different people when we go out of town without the kids. It's hard to explain why but we just are. We SO NEEDED THAT!
