And she’ll do anything for the limelight

w00t! I’m blogging a day early.

It seems like way too many people have the name Olivia now. When I first started blogging, I was the only Olivia that I knew of. It’s rather annoying to comment on a blog entry, and see 2 or 3 other people with your name. I guess I’ll have to start adding my last name as well.  meh

In related news, I notice a lot people having conversations via blog comments. I guess some people just want a ton of comments. Even if they are just completely unrelated statements or questions from the same 5 people.

So, what do you think about these White House crashers?
It’s clear the incident wouldn’t have happened if Michaele Salahi wasn’t a skinny White blond. It appears they’re claiming to be invited; despite not being on the guest list, not having a table setting, their limo being turned away at the gates, and all the other evidence that suggests they crashed the party. I don’t think they did any harm, but it’s just so darn embarrassing. I hope they get some sort of slap on the wrist.

 

Yeah buddy, rollin’ like a big shot

Wow, time to blog again already. These days counting down to finals are really been flying by.

Titles are rather hard to come up with. For those less prone to rap, this “title” is a line from Ice Cream Paint Job by Dorrough Music.

Ever met an insanely gorgeous man… Got asked for your number… And scared him off with a stupid text? Really? Well, that’s me right now.

Ever listen to a song 15316753 times… Looked up the lyrics… Realized some of the words are different than you thought… And liked your “version” better? Really? Well, that’s me right now.

I briefly touched on my ex-boyfriend in my 11/11/09 blog. It’s crazy, after awhile you forget you’re being controlled. Being “free”, I take pleasure in so many little things. One of my friends carelessly asserted I should just be grateful there was no abuse. I’m not sure I’d like to continue a relationship with someone who minimizes my past grievances. Would you?

Did you know ‘minimalize’ isn’t a word?

My statistics for this website are so awful. I really need to get it back to where it was. 100 unique visitors a day just won’t do; won’t do at all.

I was looking on the Yahoo! front page for an interesting topic. I saw ‘Underwater’ housing markets, and thought: Finally! We get to buy housing in the ocean! This is going to be so cool! It was an article about mortgages that leave people owing more than their property is worth.  opps

Yesterday, Michael Jackson died.

I was at my parents’ house;
My dad called from work to tell me about it.
I said “Wow, that’s so sad”,
And went back to working on my current project.
However, my mom came home upset,
And the rest of my evening plunged into the tragedy.

Most of the publicity has been reverent.
Celebrating his life and mourning is his death.
Recounting his many achievements and contributions to the world.
He was truly original; truly talented; truly beloved.

However, there are disgusting individuals that feed off the misery and faults of celebrities. Even just hours after they’ve passed away. Some do it for free, and others do it for monetary gain. I don’t know which is more disturbing.

Being anti-news, the only Michael Jackson information I had to go on were pathetic comedians and depraved animation.

Among other things,
I learned Michael Jackson provided DNA samples in the child molestation trial. And proved his case so well the buzzards couldn’t even file a civil suit. Previous allegations ended in settlement because lawyer fees would have exceeded the settlement (as they did in the case that went to trial).

Michael Jackson the star. Michael Jackson the icon. Michael Jackson the joke. No one seems to acknowledge him as a person; a human being.
I just hope he is somewhere at peace; happy.
