Rest In Peace Amy Winehouse

Posted in at 7:33 am by Administrator

Unless you’ve been compulsively preparing for the zombie apocalypse, you have probably heard about Amy Winehouse’s death. For all you ignoramuses out there, Winehouse was a British soul chanteuse with an amazing voice and gritty lyrics. Unfortunately she passed away a few days ago. An autopsy is still underway, but many people suspect her death was caused by drugs or alcohol abuse. In the last couple of years, the tabloid press had covered extensively Winehouse’s substance abuse issues. At different times, she was caught strung out walking the streets of Camden, bruised and bloodied after fighting with useless turd and “husband” Blake Civil Fielder, and completely incoherent while performing in concert. Youtube and the Daily Mail website have tons of footage available. For many fans, her death was not a complete surprise. After being in and out of “Rehab” for most of 2009 and 2010, fans and music industry insiders were expecting a new album and subsequent tour. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to see Amy in concert anymore. All we have left is the music and the memories.

Amy Winehouse didn’t die on her own, those around her failed to save her. Her family, managers, and band mates were concerned more with making money and furthering their careers. Amy was just the cash cow from whose teats they fed themselves. Amy’s demise wasn’t sudden, her downward spiral lasted more than 3 years. Pictures from this time period show her weight loss, harried look and constant erratic behavior. It was pretty obvious Amy’s addiction had gotten the best of her, but no one close to her seemed to take any action. Someone should’ve forced her to go to rehab and to stay clean. Her parents seemed either aloof to what was happening or they’re complete retards. Why did her manager allow her to take the stage so many times, seeing her condition? Why didn’t family and friends make a real concerted effort to help Amy? I wonder if Great Britain has a law similar to the Baker Act (The Baker Act is a genius idea). Sometimes addicts need to be forced into treatment, they can’t make the right decisions by themselves, they’re too depressed. If they could they wouldn’t become addicts in the first place. And the main question: how come no one got rid of Blake? Amy’s descent started once she hooked up with the asshole. Again, Amy Winehouse didn’t die on her own, those around her let her die.

Some folks make me misanthropic…

Posted in at 5:50 am by Administrator

The country has been abuzz with news about the Casey Anthony trial and subsequent acquittal. Both my ex-girlfriend and my boss called me to gossip about it. For those of you out there, Casey Anthony is the crazy psycho-bitch that killed her 2 year old daughter, because the child was a hindrance to her party life-style. Somehow, Anthony beat the rap and will walk free. Florida, now officially has the worst drivers (thanks Miami), most retarded voters (thanks Rick Scott supporters) and dumbest juries (thanks Pinellas County).

Casey Anthony is not the first psycho to kill a child and/or commit a heinous crime. I constantly read the crime sections of MSNBC, Yahoo and other websites. I know about the other crazy bitch that put her kid in a oven, the asshole who threw a crying infant against a wall, the folks who kill their own spouses for insurance money, etc. And then, there are those that shock me due to their stupidity, like the redneck in Tennessee who was too drunk to drive. He decided to have his 10 year old son drive, while he gave the kid instructions from the passenger seat. These stories turn me into a horrible misanthrope who sees humans as a plague. No, I’m not one of those self-righteous folks (as a matter of fact, a big fuck you to all the self righteous), but these criminals are scum. And yes, sometimes the death penalty is needed. Once I mentioned this in front of some of my uber-liberal classmates and they reacted in horror, but it’s the truth. Would you give a life sentence to a Nazi or send his ass to the electric chair? I vote for chair.

So how did Casey Anthony beat the rap (and the gas chamber)? Let’s see. Courts and juries have been historically more lenient with female offenders than with their male counterparts (also there are far less female murderers). Scott Peterson committed a similar crime and he’s expected to fry soon. Anthony comes from a middle class background; compare her to Aileen Wuornos who had white trash origins and worked as a hooker. The State of Florida didn’t hesitate to execute Wuornos, while Anthony will not see another day behind bars. Another important point is that, well, Casey Anthony is an attractive young woman. She is bound to have some sort of sympathy from a few deranged motherfuckers out there. If she were overweight, ugly or old, things would’ve played out differently. If you think I’m exaggerating, look up Debra Lafave. She is the middle school teacher who fucked her lucky 13 year old student. Lafave happens to be smoking hot, and the judge only gave her probation. Going back to Casey Anthony, the main reason she is free is due to the fact that the prosecution couldn’t prove conclusively and beyond reasonable doubt that she is guilty. Simple as that. Since Caylee’s body is too deteriorated and there’s no eyewitnesses, Casey Anthony is a free woman. People caught with dimebags, have had lengthier sentences.

What’s the obsession with Pippa…

Posted in at 5:57 pm by Administrator

Ever since the Royal Wedding, Kate Middleton’s family has been the center of attention for our Cockney-ed friends on the side of the pond. Kate’s parents can’t engage in any fun activities such as swinging or getting pissed at the local pub (note: for Brits, “pissed” means drunk. Nothing to do with urination). If they do, they’ll be all over the tabloids. The media has focused heavily on royal sister Phillipa Middleton, also known as Pippa. There’s also a royal brother, but no one cares about him.

Pippa has been photographed happily dancing sans shirt, whilst pissed (drunk). After the wedding, the media focused heavily on Pippa’s figure in that white dress she wore. Pippa now has a fan club, an ass appreciation society (J. Lo be damned) and plenty of potential dates. Now let’s look at the Pippa phenomenon from an objective view (with a little subjectivism).

Pippa’s has a nice face, a nice thin build and is very well tanned (Jersey Shore be damned). And yes, she looked great in that dress, which made a perfect contrast with her skin color. She’s well educated, independent, athletic (she does triathlons like me) and a fun chick who enjoys dancing only in her bra. But the fact is, there are plenty of women just like that all around the World. Why the obsession with Pippa? She’s nice looking but she’s not a knockout. If we limit it to British babes, I think Liz Hurley, Kate Beckinsale or Cheryl Cole can give her a run for the money. I see far more attractive women at FIU campus (for real, I’m not bragging just because it’s my alma mater). And while Pippa’s ass is nice, I’m not incredibly impressed. After All, I live in Miami, ass-capital of the Americas. There’s enough ass around here to provide for the whole state of Florida.

I wonder if maybe the standard of beauty is different in the UK. Someone tanned and fit is a rarity. The mass majority of folks are pale and plump. You walk down a street and for every Pippa you see 10 Adele’s. Would Pippa be considered an average beauty in France or Italy? Does the press focus on the Middleton girls so much, because the rest of the royal family is a bit not-sexy? I mean, Fergie and her daughters are a bit…fugly. If there are any British readers out there, please chime in.

Ok fine, I admit it. If I saw Pippa hanging around Miami Beach, I’d hit on her too.
