Random Thoughts: 12/18/07

1: So, Jodie Foster finally came "out" of the closet, eh? Wow, that was a no-brainer. That's like Hulk Hogan admitting that he likes having a tan. I'm just saying.

2: Why is it that most people that I see in nursing school, with their books and medical scrubs, don't look healthy? I know that the stress of studying can wear you down, but dang!!! I would think that people who read about diseases and see messed up livers and people suffering from heart attacks daily would be a little leery of indulging in donuts and chips and soft drinks. Maybe I've undersetimated the power of junk food.

3: Okay, as a lifelong geek, I'm glad that Judd Apatow and his works (Freaks and Geeks, Superbad, Knocked Up) have shown geeks and slackers in a different light. However, I am a little leery of these "new geeks". I, sir, am an Original Geek. If you have not had a "Kick Me" sign on your back, had to watch out for surprise attacks, or had things written about you on school walls, you do not know what it means to be a geek. All of us don't find beautiful girls and win the respect of our peers like in these great movies. Most of us survive high school, try to get a good gig, and pray that we get a girl someday. Trust me, hot chicks are not all over the comic book store.

4: I received an email alert from hip-hop news site allhiphop.com that states that Eddie Murphy is signing Karinne "Superhead" Steffans to his record label. For those that don't know, Karinne was a video actress and porn star known for her "oral talents". She would perform these acts on several rappers and entertainers and publish two dirty tell-all books and achieve a level of infamy. Let me talk to him now: Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, this is not the kind of company you need to be keeping!!! You're an Oscar-nominated actor now, man!!! It was bad enough when they started advertising Norbit during your Oscar campaign. I honestly think that hurt your chances. I've supported you through the unsuccessful albums (I liked the singles), the transvestite incident, even that godawful Beverly Hills Cop III. I realize you're paying child support to two women now (ex-wife and Scary Spice), but I do not think this is a good move. This one will be bad. Pluto Nash bad.

5: Be easy, readers!!!
