Perhaps it's anxiety about Ironflower starting kindergarten tomorrow, perhaps it's the fact that no matter how much a try, I am just not kind-hearted, but I wish I had a license to smack people upside the head. Just hard enough to jar them a bit and release my tension, of course.
Like all these so-called Christians on their anti-Muslim crusade. Don't build a community center with a mosque 2 blocks from Ground Zero! Let's burn the Koran! Muslims are bad! I mean, I understand that certain branches of Christianity are all about converting others to their religion, but is this seriously the way to go about it? And do they honestly feel that the average beer-swilling, hot dog loving, Jersey Shore watching American is going to be seduced into becoming a Muslim? Besides which, if they want to complain about fanatics and the like, why don't they clean up Christianity first? Have they not heard about the FLDS and all the 14 year old girls married to old men? Shouldn't Glenn Beck take care of his own brethren first?
I think smacking all the people in that group would probably wear me out, but if not I'd start next on the woman I saw yesterday. Now, I do honestly try really hard not to judge other parents, but since I'm also trying to be kinder and quieter and to exercise more, I'm kind of worn out. So, anyway, the woman yesterday. She had this cute little baby, 4 months old max, and she was feeding her baby food. Few 4 month olds need baby food and this one certainly didn't - she wasn't even attempting to swallow it. It was all over her and she looked absolutely miserable. The woman kept shoveling at her until the jar was empty. Why do people try to force feed their kids? Why do people give baby food before 6 months? Aren't American Academy of Pediatricians recommendations good enough?
Speaking of good enough, I stayed up too late watching Can't Buy Me Love recently. It's one of the greatest 80's teen movies NOT made by John Hughes and I still love it. But the clothes - wow. I realized just how trashy and anorexic the teen world has become while watching that movie. I mean, there were baggy clothes (as there were in the '80's) and the girls were thin, not anorexic. It amazed me how unslutty everything was. And that depresses me enough to want to smack myself upside the head. I am OLD. I really feel like the coke-fueled '80's were a more innocent time. Help.
I will also need help smacking the heads of the Jersey Shore cast, whoever decided that Thomas the Tank Engine should be priced like collectible jewelery, the creators of Dora the Explorer and of Diego as well, the jackals at Staples yesterday who nearly ran over a toddler, people who don't know how to use apostrophes, people who still think Obama is Muslim, a Kenyan citizen or both, people who don't watch Glee and/or Modern Family and everyone who likes Justin Bieber.
Ah, I feel better now.

Here is my hand, feel free to use it for smacking! I love that last list :)
Trust me, I'm embarrassed enough that my 13 year old niece went to Bieber's concert Saturday. Blech. I spent about 5 minutes ranting about it to my husband this afternoon. *lol* At least the Jonas Brothers come across as nice guys- Bieber's just a sh**head. Thank goodness she's only 13 or I'd REALLY have something to say!
Don't tempt me! Who do you want to start with?
For some reason, my 4 year old knows who the Jonas Brothers are and that really disturbs me. Just keep telling yourself, "Someday I'll be watching Bieber on Celebrity Rehab".
I was in the car with my husband the other day and a song came on the radio. He exclaimed- Hey Justin Bieber adn started humming along. I did smack him in the head for that one:)
Can I help you with the Jersey Shore cast? Please? I've never seen the show but those people annoy the hell out of me.
Damn dont get me started on the Bieber. Hate the music hate the kid. Just annoying. Who gives a shit about his freakin hair. Really?
You are just plain fun... :) I still can't believe that geek in Can't Buy Me Love is Patrick Dempsey... Believe it or not, I completely missed that movie in the 80s and just saw it about a year ago the first time. And NO it's not because I was doing coke! :)
Jaime - One fan down, several million to go, right?
Cathy - Then what WERE you doing? Because I saw that movie like 4 times in the theater.
Catootes - Don't ever watch it. You'll waste an hour of your life and you'll hate them even more.
Soccermom - I read a Facebook status update the other day from a lesbian who was wondering where she could meet a "woman who doesn't have Justin Bieber's hair". I think once the lesbians copy you, your days as a tween idol should be over.
LOL @ all the comments about Justin Beiber. You made several brilliant points cuz, personally people thinking our President is Muslim and general hate against that religion would warrant much more of a smack that Justin would. Every 10 years or so some white boy named Jason comes along and ends up 12 year old girls walls. Annoying yeah but harmless. Picking and choosing which religion is included in "freedom of religion" is much more worthy of a smack.
Greg - Thank you. And you're right. . .but you'd still smack Justin, or Drake, if you got the chance , wouldn't you?
