A friend provided me a link to the following video. Definitely deserving of the couple of minutes it takes to view. It gives new meaning to collectively thinking outside the box, and how social communities are leaving an indelible footprint on the web.

Men will say the darnedest things to try and “get the girl.” My friend over at Immoral Matriarch, Maria, posted a blog the other day highlighting some of the better pick-up messages she’s received from wannabe MySpace buddies/hookups: Out of the Mouths of Idiots. It’s one of the funniest blogs I’ve read lately.

When did the Grammys and Oscars become awards doled out for upstanding behavior and political correctness? Egads! Isn’t the entertainment industry supposed to do just that — Entertain!?

I’m going on record to commend an artist whose take on music is both refreshing and unique, especially in the staleness that is the canned and overprocessed music offered up by the industry moguls. Amy Winehouse is that artist. She blends R&B, old soul, and a retro groove into her music that is totally unique. Probably why her music has been embraced to the extent that it has. I expect to see an increase in the number of copycat me-too’s popping up on the charts - trying to capture what Amy’s been able to do.

I don’t think her behavior is what’s attracting the praises and accolades. It’s her music. Granted, Amy’s personal life pits her as England’s answer to BritBrit. And you know what, I don’t give a rat’s ass what she does in her private life. I’m not idolizing her. I’m enjoying her music. Her unique voice and style are what drew me in and hold me there.

There are dozens upon dozens of unmentionable “stars” so f*cked up in their private lives, yet who have successfully hidden their ’secrets’ from the public behind the mask of normalcy. Are celebrities to be held to the level of high regard as the Queen Mother (whose family is just as screwed up)? Puleeeeze! They’re no different than anyone else, and are fallible.
