Britney and Christina did a poor job at best trying to sing Madonna's "Like a Virgin." Christina being the only one of the two with any vocal talent. Britney being all hott all the time. Christina being dirty. But not dirty/sexy like her song implies. I mean literally. "Take a bath for fucksake." And another thing,"Stop with the fake tan, already. It only adds to your layer of dirt. You just look like a dirty hippy."
The kiss that rocked Justin. Did you see his disdain? Ah, it was beautiful. You have no one to blame but yourself, dude. She's hot. You lose.
Anyway, I wish the shock factor would have worked. That would've been nice. But they failed. It just looked like an old lady trying to be controversial. Don't get me wrong. I love Madonna and all her crazy antics. But she needs to just pass on the legacy to the children and let it go.
To recap:
1. Britney is hott but can't sing. Oh, and I would kiss her in a New York second.
2. Attention Christina: George Hamilton called. He wants his tan back.
He and I have been close friends for almost 18 years now. He is my match. There is no one in the world more perfect than this man. He's kind, gentle, loving and oh so generous. Not to mention sexy as hell. OH and he's a genius. Have I said funny? HIGHlarious, he is.
I've lost 13 pounds. 13!! That's my lucky number. This is wonderful, right? But, here's the thing. I had just bought a bunch of clothes prior to losing the weight. I was resigned that I was a bigger size and I would have to accept that fact. "It's an age thing," I told myself. It turns out, it's an eating thing. Who knew?
See, if you don't eat crap, you will maintain your normal healthy body weight. If you eat crap, your body swells up. And when you eat crap AND you're getting older, your body swells up and your mind demands sugar and salt.
The hard part will be maintaining healthy eating habits. I guess I'll take it one day at a time.......................................... Right, but what about tomorrow? Oops.
I came into work today and was immediately slammed with fires to put out. People frantic about their problem and expecting me to freak out with them. Because only then, they will have faith that you are troubled enough to truly help them.
So, I took a walk with a friend. When I returned I did the only thing I could do in the moment to solve the problems and then I let it go. The best advice I've ever gotten is from AA. "When agitated, pause." And you don't have to be a recovering drunk/drug addict to use this advice. Please, feel free.
On to better topics. Ian and I went to Chicago last week. We attended two baseball games. We were there for the only Giants win out of the series. That was exciting. But the best part was the autographs. I got my all time favorite ball players autograph. Benito Santiago.
He is like the coolest. I told him that I'm the girl that's always screaming his name near the Giants bullpen at home games. I didn't think he was really paying attention to my fan spewing. He's heard it all before, I'm sure.
But.............at Pac Bell Park this past Tuesday night, I was screaming at Benito from my seat near the bullpen and guess what? He looked over, smiled, laughed, waved and seemed genuinely happy to see me. How fucking cool is that?
I'm going to the game tonight and I will try it again. Benito kicks ass. He's my age and he's living his dream. He's still strong physically and mentally. He's my role model.
Now, don't forget to pause today, kids. Don't let other people's negative energy soak into your skin.
Here's a funny picture of me that my friend Lina took at a barbecue. For some reason people were playing the "throw the tofu dogs" game. Luckily I caught the dog before getting hit with it.
