Ohhhh man, 3 weeks without a post. I know I've had many "I should blog about this, yo" moments, but now I can't remember any of them. Note to self: stop doing that.
Ok, so my last post was about wanting a dog, and:
Meet the new love of my life. His name is Aiden. Before you laugh at his name, I'll explain. There's a show called John and Kate Plus 8. It's about a couple with twins and sextuplets:
The one in the glasses (front row, far left) is my favorite, cuz well... he's wearing glasses. He's predisposed to nerdiness and I think that is so freaking cute! Anyway, the kid's name is Aiden. Aiden also means "little fire" in Gaelic, which seems to be a suitable name for my puppy.
But you know what's really cool... I'M FREAKING ALLERGIC TO HIM. F*CK!
It was suggested to me by Sergio that I undergo accupuncture in order to lessen my allergic reactions, so I'll try that. But if that doesn't work, he'll have to stay at my mom's a lot more until I've built up my immunities to him. Enduring allergic reactions for extended periods of time is no bueno for my respiratory system.
What else, what else... the LFS Retreat was great! Many props to this year's EC. I think they're a truly talented and skilled group with an amazing year ahead of them. It'll be exciting to see what great achievements are to come!
Oh, before I go, WHO WATCHED THE MFing VMAs? I had a plethora of issues to share, but again, I can't remember them all. Damn you, short term memory.
Contrary to what mainstream media are depicting, my issues do not include Russell Brand. (Hence the subject of this blog). He was kinda lame, but definitely not horrible.
My issues:
Lil Wayne took the Hip Hop VMA for Lolipop (shit shoulda gone to Kanye or Lupe, in my opinion). Britney didn't perform, and I'll admit, I was looking forward to her big "come back". The girl has been through a LOT, and I was kinda pulling for her. Jordin Sparx got all sorts of crazy in response to Brand's comments about virginity promise rings, but girl, not ALL people who have sex are sluts. Oh, and FannyPak? I mean, I knew they were going to win, with their success being more recent than Kaba's. But it would've been cool for Kaba to represent.
But wait, what about Christina's performance? The performance I've been waiting all year for. Oh wait.. hold on... she's... LIP SYNCING. Dammit. She's NEVER done that in a major performance before. And she's always bashed people who's had to lip sync... man, what a disappointment. I didn't even like the track that much. It seems very sell-out-ish, tailoring to the demand of Rihanna-style music by the post-adolescent demographic.
Will Kanye save the day? Hmm.. he sang the whole time. Singing is not his forte. BUT, I do still love the man.
Lesson learned: don't ever watch the VMAs again.
Enough of my ranting. I'll leave you with this:
