Just a thought....going out on a limb here. But if people focused as much attention on Global Warming, the crisis in Darfur, etc, maybe things would get accomplished (insert lightbulb here). Breakdown! Drama! Is she in crisis!? To be honest, if my life was watched by millions of people, I saw myself in almost every magazine/newspaper on the newsstand and people were hiding in the bushes and trying to kill each other to get to me, I'd probably have a breakdown too.
I've heard more about her in the past two or three days with her shaving her head then I have about much more important topics ever being mentioned in a months time. I'm not dismissing that she needs help, but is all this discussion / press coverage about it really seriously necessary.
Let's be honest people. Granted, she might do some things that are odd, however I guarantee that most of these people that are judging her and her actions, have done the same things that she's doing. Only difference...hers are thrown into the public eye and everyone can see it.
I've never really been a fan of the girl (although I admit, I've sang "I'm not that innocent" into the hairbrush once or twice in my life) but seriously, I think there are far more important things to go on and on and on about.
Let her do what she wants, she's a big girl. Her shaving her head isn't hurting anyone. (Btw, as I'm writing this, a well known tv show just mentioned it....again). If it is a cry for help, let her management, family and friends worry about her. Apparently she's back in rehab, and good for her for getting help. I wish her the best.

Forgotten mannerisms?
Several conversations lately have led to me thinking about the mannerisms of men and women from long ago and the difference of how they act now. How slowly certain ways and actions are changing. Now change is an obvious part of time moving on, but I think people sort of lose track and are caught off guard by how much really has changed.
My beautiful grandmother showed me a picture of her and my grandfather on their first date. Her in a dress, my grandfather in a suit. Perfectly manicured and looking very happy. She explained to me how he held doors open for her, helped her step off a curb, etc. Then she told me they had went to the movies. When in the world was the last time you saw a man dress in a suit and a woman in a dress for the movies?? Now are we just losing that graceful, formal part of dressing immaculate and "upscale" ... are we just more lazy to where we go out in pajamas? My mother explained how they would always dress nicely, nice pants or skirts, even when going to the movies. Go to the movies now, and see a bunch of guys with their jeans hanging down past their bum so far that you can tell what size boxers they're wearing. Girls are going to have to start carrying some type of Dior device that picks up items they drop since their skirts are so short and seem to be disappearing all together. I'm all for doing your own thing when it comes to fashion, but have some respect for people around you, no one wants to see any of that stuff in public unless they choose to. Better yet, have some respect for yourself.
Curse words were pretty much unheard of. Again, basically the same thing in my mothers generation. At least they were very rarely said around women. Now? F' this, i hate this shhh...., you get the picture. Women, the same thing. I can't tell you how many times I go to a restaurant and hear someone say something about someone they know being a "stupid b"
It's really sad when you hang out with a guy, friend or otherwise, and you're surprised when they open the door for you or help you through a crowd while walking behind you by putting his hand on your back (usually you expect his hand to end up on your ass).
So what exactly is going on? Are we just completely forgetting respect? Sitting on your cell phone while in a movie theatre (btw, I hate all you people that do this), knocking into someone and keep going, not call when you're going to be late, these things are just done and barely anyone blinks an eye. Are we disregarding other people because we're too caught up in ourselves?
I wonder what's going to happen in another 20 years.....

The beginning
I'm in my 20's and from Jersey. This state feeds and thrives off drama. Being 20 minutes away from NYC (where my heart is) doesn't much help either. I'm severely honest, hold true to my opinions and am way too understanding for my own good. I'm a Leo, and yes I act like it. My friends are amazing. They just get me. If I love you, you don't get part of me, you get all of me. Pet peeves: people who lie, cheat, are judgmental or who are severely lacking common sense. Being rude is not sexy. People think I look like a snob the first time they meet me. I have walls set up to keep people out. Few have managed to get through, and I'm okay with that. I don't expect anything less then chivalry, and I'll call you out on it if it's lacking. Music keeps me sane. People take life way too seriously. Get over it, or you'll die of a heart attack before you reach your 40's.
