amy "sucka punch" winehouse

but i can't hold back anymore.
i have been torn between feeling sympathy for amy winehouse and confusion for the decision for her to perform under her apparent health conditions, but apparently doctors and family said that wouldn't be an issue. i guess coughing up blood, detoxing and collapsing are perfect ways to prepare for a nelson mandela birthday gala and the glastonbury festival. what do i know. i thought, you know, maybe her family and doctors aren't crazy, and that they think that doing what she loves to do is important and will help her push her through her demons and make her better. call me a sucker or call me giving someone the benefit of the doubt. i like to think benefit of the doubt will win.
this will change.

amy gets let out of the hospital after being told her lungs are a mess, no emphysema, but she could easily get there and really fuck her shit up. she leaves the hospital and lights up. alert alert. funny, no one from the hospital or the family comments on this...
i have a hard time trying to justify that move. i can't even imagine wanting to light a cigarette after i have been spending a week coughing up my lungs in the form of blood sacks. again, i am not a doctor, but i am starting to feel like sucker.

amy performs at nelson mandela's bash.  horray! you go amy. but wait, she what? she switched up the lyrics of Free Nelson Mandela to plea for the release of blake from his incarceration?? you have got to be fucking kidding me! i cannot think of any other way to be more completely disrespectful of a situation if i tried.

amy, you're killing me. we can't continue this relationship. we started off on a bad foot, but i came around, and felt empathy for you. you woo'd me with your voice and made me believe you were a true talent just lost in a world of addiction and just needed help to pull your shit together. i stopped blasting you and tried to take the high road and hope that you were just waiting for the help you desperately needed. people have problems, people need help, you're no different, but amy, you truly are a selfish spoiled shit. there, i said it. i will listen to your music because i do truly love it, and i will continue to sing your songs at karaoke, but no more trying to defend your asshole actions. get your fucking shit together.

Spent another fabulous weekend in my old home, LA. As usual, it was great to be back to one of my favorite places. We went to see swervedriver, one of my hubby's favorite bands. unfortunately, a killer neck pain forced me to only see about the first 20 minutes of the show before i had to retire to the car to lie down, but what i saw was great, and neil really enjoyed it, so it was worth the trip to see them.
we usually stay with friends, but since it was their 9 year anniversary, we figured the least we could do was give them some alone time, so we stayed at the Standard in Hollywood. It's funny, I haven't stayed in a hotel in LA for such a long time, but i was kinda' fun to stay on Sunset and play the tourist roll (which is ultimately what you feel like when you stay at a hotel anywhere, even in places you've lived). We also drove past my old place in silverlake. waah...i loved that place! we are going back down at the end of june to see David Sedaris speak - can't wait to get back!

Re: follow up to my post from two days ago.

Yeah, I know it's supposed to be a video, but it's my blog, and i'll do whatever the hell i want...

If you were not afraid of clowns before, you fucking damn well will be now. This scary fucker was in a museum in Aiken, South Carolina that we visited this weekend. It was in the circus room, where many a child may roam. That shit just ain't right. I feel like clowns are the pit bulls of the circus. They just get a bad rap, and it's usually because of the owner. Much like pit bulls are trained to be vicious, this poor bozo probably would not have cost children thousands in therapy later in life had some living bozo not put that horrific sign on him. Honestly, what goes through peoples' heads when they set shit like this up?

Wtf clown

ANYONE??? why the fuck is whether or not Ashley Simpson is pregnant something that these two loons are insisting on "dodging"? Do they think that anyone really gives a flying shit anymore? Is anyone really in suspense about this? Does anyone think she's not preggers, since she apparently announced it at their wedding, and would anyone really be torn up about it if she isn't? I actually used to be ok with Pete Wentz. Basically, until today, actually. I am so OVER hearing about them dodging the issue. Ashley Simpson will never be known for her talent, she will only be known and Jessica's sister who got caught lip syncing and married the dude from Fall Out Boy, and Pete Wentz will always be known as the nimrod who married Jessica Simpson's sister - they aren't that high up on the celebrity ladder to think that they need to keep her pregnancy/non-pregnancy a secret. When they do announce, what do they think will happen? Do they think the world will start to rotate in the opposite direction on it's axis? I predict what will happen. Crickets and tumbleweeds, that's what. Maybe an "Oh." muttered from someone prone to say "oh" to any boring news they hear. That is what will happen.

ass, meet hole.

Introducing the first installment of What The Fuck Video of the Week (WTF VOW)...

I was never a big fan of Nick Cave, but this song is actually pretty awesome. It's really Velvet Underground style, which is never a bad thing. After the initial shock of seeing NC, and still contemplating his new LA indie hipster look, I really got into the video, too.

They just rock. Check out their performance on Conan earlier this week.
