So What...!!

na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na

I guess I've just lost my husband
I don't know where he went
So I'm gonna drink my money
I'm not gonna pay his rent (nope)
I got a brand new attitude
And I'm gonna wear it tonight
I'm gonna get in trouble
I wanna start a fight
Na na na na na na na na na na na
I wanna start a fight
I wanna start a fight

The waiter just took my table
And gave it to Jessica Sim.....(shit)
I guessl'll go sit with drum boy
At least he knows how to hit (whoops)
What if this song's on the radio?
Somebody's goin' to die
I'm gonna get in trouble
My ex will start a fight
He's gonna start a fight
We're all gonna get in a fight..

So picture the scene, I'm listening to Pink yelling out the above song - I'm playing it over and over again and by the time Pink and me have finished letting off steam, I've worked off 20 mins. on the treadmill at 5.2 speed. I could not have done it - seriously - without the help of my new songstress Pink. Yeah! So what if she's a little on the aggressive side - you need that you keep you motivated on the treadmill.

But - you'll agree it is a far cry from 'Singing in the rain' and 'A spoonfull of sugar' and 'Let's go fly a kite'...As I'm listening to Pink on my i-pod I'm watching top chef Gordon Ramsey's 'Hell's Kitchen' on the t.v. Between listening to Pink and watching Gordon, things, are getting pretty steamy. Gordon is effing and blinding at the poor chefs who are about to get the chop - if you'll excuse the pun! Prior to that they were all working hard in the kitchen, sweating profusely and then my memory recalled the poor girl in Subway the other day being lacerated by a customer because her tuna scoops were miserable. So what Gordon if somebody can cook scrambled eggs with seafood better than somebody else? Next Gordon sends his trainee Chef off in disgrace and he has to walk up a corridor of shame but not before being given a bleep bleep from Ramsey just to further tell the chef he is a loser. We see the failed chef's picture appear on the screen and then a flame burns it away - he's gone - never to return. This is 'Hell's Kitchen' after all!!

Along then comes the charming chef Emeril from the 'Emeril Live' show. Emeril is Italian and I would say his charm far surpasses the grub he produces. But he is charming and everybody loves Emeril - He is rather stout and obviously enjoys eating and making merry. Emeril feels sorry for the rejected chefs in his reality chef show, so gives them all a copy of his new book as they leave the show. But before he gives them the book he puts it up to the camera so we can all see the title of it - Good man Emeril - that's what I call Show Biz!!

Everyday of the week, there is a reality show on t.v. We follow American Idol. We also watch 'Dancing with the Stars'. Then there is America's top Model show - top Hairdresser reality show - top Dress Designer reality show - Top Scientist reality show - top Singer reality show - top Dancer reality show...top Interior Designer reality show - you name it and there is one out there. The problem I have with these programs is the systematic humiliation that the rejected ones have to suffer when they fail the challenge. Is it really necessary to be so horrible to these unfortunates? Simon Cowell is legendary for that and even though it is ha ha ha stuff Imagine how you would feel if he said to you "You've just blown the biggest chance of your life - a million dollar opportunity - you've just blown it because of your appalling choice of song, and sorry but I don't like your outfit either - you need to lose some weight - I'm only being honest because somebody needs to be honest with you...I mean PLEASE...

I guess it hits close to the bone for me because I'm going to be facing all that rejection and possible humiliation when my book comes out in a few weeks time and every time Simon is chewing them out of existence and spitting them off the planet, somebody will do the same to me
the only difference is that the whole world will not be watching it on t.v.!! Can you just imagine the balls you'd want to have, to get up there in front of the world, and then have to face Simon Cowell after you have been watching his face screw up like a constipated dog. Weird as it sounds all those young hopefulls on 'American Idol' are my heroes. If they can do it - so can I!!

This past week in Victoria we had some really nasty murders, but it's even worse in Vancouver where violence is really escalating. A young 20 year old girl was pushed in front of a bus here in Victoria and she died later from injuries. The guy who did it apparently was a very nice fellow!!

Listening to Pink and watching all these sadistic reality shows - I wonder if they are part responsible for all the violence? I mean if you are listening to stuff like 'Just a spoonfull of sugar' and 'let's go fly a kite' and watching Gene Kelly singing in the rain and Doris Day on t.v. would you still want to go out and push somebody in front of a bus?

Just a thought...

Love y'all - Do something nice for yourself today!

Cheery Billy Bye...
