My inspiration for writing has been somewhat drained recently. I don't know why, may be it's because there's not so much to talk about/I'm bored/I'm boring/just plain can't be arsed. As I haven't had a moan for a while, just wanted to bring up 2 or 3 things.
Firstly, how can the death of Martha Stewart's dog make UK national headlines on the biggest (or 2nd biggest) news broadcaster? Who gives a shit?! There MUST be something else to tell us?! Like where you've put all those illegal immigrants........
Oh yeah, the dogs name was Ghenghis Khan......
If that wasn't bad enough, it was a Chow Chow......guess it really is chow now.
Two other gripes of mine right now are the whole Beckham saga and Jade Goody cancer thing. Briefly with the Beckham thing, turns out he's now staying at AC Milan until the rest of their season. The problem with this? Apart from the '250million' dollar contract he signed with retard united, aka LA Galaxy. He apparently has funded his own move to Milan. Being a potential role model (for who, I'm not sure), I'm a little annoyed by how he doesn't need to honour his contract. One minute he's living for the money (why else would you 'want' to play 'soccer' in the US?!) and his 'celebrity' wannabe status. The next he's realized he's joined the worst team in the World and knows that his career could be saved by being a substitute for a half rate Italian team. How does this work in real life? Can you just sign a contract for a house/job/mortgage then blow it off 2 mins later? Erm....yes, apparently you can be above the law.
That rant over. Next one is this whole Jade Goody thing. For those who don't know, Jade Goody was a contestant on the amazingly shite Big Brother. She's 27 or something, but now has terminal cervical cancer. Now don't get me wrong, this is very bad and no doubt her soon to be death is not a good thing. She's leaving behind 2 kids and a now new hubby who's just about to be released from prison again (or something like that). The problem is, she is an obnoxious, racist, ugly, un-intelligent person, who before you knew she had cancer was a complete moron: she's one of these Z list celebrities, who is a total no-body. With half a brain cell, completely racist and stupid comments about everything, she is one of those easy to hate people. However suddenly she 'gets' cancer, not just that, but terminal, now she's up shit creak with a paddle and becomes everyones sob story. I do 'feel' for her kids, not only will they be motherless but have a convict for a dad, what a great life. They will be rich however: OK not a great consolation.
Why are the public so fickle? If Bin Laden got cancer would we all feel sorry for him? Probably. Ok, not a fair comparison, although both racist, Jade Goody hasn't officially killed anyone or told anyone to fly planes in to very tall buildings. I don't like how people are sooo artificial. I'm not going to start loving someone when they are horrible/terrible people just because they are prematurely dying. This sympathy is misdirected. So many people have said 'Have you no compassion' on the comments surrounding this whole story (not to me, but to other critics of this person). Whatever comes from this, there are sooo many people in the Western World who are battling and suffering through cancer: there are so many that struggle, who fight for charity work, who have a great outlook on life, despite their circumstance. To suddenly start reading the bible, drinking holy water and what not does not suddenly make you a good person. When that time comes, I cringe at the thought of her probably messed up kids. If we actually had a society left in this place called England, these poor excuses for people wouldn't be allowed to have kids. We create life in an instant, we destroy it over a lifetime and no one is held to blame. Today's World and society is one I didn't grow up in: it shouldn't be normal for kids to grow up in a single parent household, to have parents who go to jail and the list could go on. It's a never ending downward spiral and sad to say, it's because of non-educated people like this Jade Goody.
I'm not heartless, this is how I'd feel if she was non terminal, it shouldn't make a difference. I feel for those who've gone through cancer, whether they've won or lost their battle. If they are decent people and have lived their life, that is why we are here. Kudos to you. Don't rely on your misfortune for people to try and take any possible positive from it. Again, 'It's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years'.
