So much to say...

Again I promised you I'd post more regularly, and again I turned out to be a liar.

Oh well.  Such is life.

Sometimes, despite having a lot to say on a regular basis, too much to say, some might say, I often feel like I have nothing to say.

So today, instead of a post of fully formed musings and deep thoughts, here's a glimpse into what's really on my mind...

Bullying:  I literally can't take it if I see another news story about a kid being bullied.   It makes my heart and head hurt and makes me want to be a nicer person, which brings me to ...

My Starbucks Nemesis:  I am nervous because I have not seen her in a few weeks.  I hope she is okay, mainly because I have a new technique for dealing with people who annoy me.  Essentially I pretend like my heart is lighting up like ET's and that I love everyone, which brings me to ...

Neil Diamond:  Mazel Tov on your wedding, Neil.  Look at you, turning on your heart light and marrying a 42 year old lady.  I wish I had thought of marrying Neil Diamond.  I could do worse.  I have done worse, which brings me to ...

Ray J:  Seriously, Ray J is getting a $1M endorsement deal?  What has Ray J done besides Whitney and Kim Kardashian?  So far no one has been able to answer that question.   I can't.  I just can't, which brings me to ...

Zoos:  I went to one this weekend in Philly, and for the first time ever, a zoo made me depressed.  All of the animals looked like the people you'd find in a bar at 3 a.m. on a Monday night -- smoking cigarettes and essentially wondering how they got there, which brings me to ...

Marilu Henner's Mega Mind:  Marilu claims that she can remember everything that ever happened to her.  I have always been a little skeptical of Marilu ever since I read that she decorates her house so that it flatters her hair and skin color.  I'm not sure that I would want that as there is plenty I'd like to forget.  I think you'd have to be more accepting of yourself than I am to live with that gift.  I mean, everything seems like a good idea at the time, right?  Which brings me to...

Tanning Mom:  This woman from NJ is accused of putting her six year old in a tanning bed.  I don't want to believe this, but one look at this woman makes me believe that she clearly appreciates a deep dark tan.  I've never seen anything like that in nature, which brings me to ...

Jessica Simpson's Baby:  Baby girl is finally here, has a relatively normal name (Maxwell Drew) and is ginormous, weighing in at nearly 10 lbs.  Poor Jess seemed to be pregnant forever.  I swear, one more week, and that baby would have been giving birth to Jessica, which brings me to ...

Giuliana and Bill Rancic's Baby News:  Very happy news that they are expecting a baby via surrogate.  For some reason, I like these two, despite the fact that they are kinda media wh*res, which brings me to...

Lisa Rinna's Depends Ad:  Apparently, Depends is now making sexy adult diapers, ones that aren't quite so, well, obviously diapers.  Lisa says she didn't do it for the money or the buzz, but for female empowerment and for charity, as a fat donation was made to the wonderful organization, Dress for Success.  I gotta hand it to Depends for making it easier for those who need to use their product to wear them with confidence, and whatever Lisa's motivation, I say good for her for shining the spotlight on an embarrassing topic, which brings me to ...

Dr. Oz:  I have talked about my love for Dr. Oz before, but I watched an episode this week where the good doctor encouraged audience members to ask their most personal questions.  I'm not gonna lie, I'm all for being honest with your doctor and not being ashamed of your body, but these questions were essentially causing me to vomit in my mouth a little bit and pray that I never run into some of those people, who clearly walk among us. 

It reminds me of the time I was working at NASDAQ with Riina and a CEO came for an event.  He had what we thought was a hair on his collar, so we pulled it.  I can't remember which of us pulled it because it was a traumatic memory.  What we didn't know was that it was actually growing out of him from God knows where, which we only learned when he screamed "Ow" at the top of his executive lungs.   Dr. Oz would have wanted me to experience that and realize everyone is human and we all have flaws, but all I can think is, "He is a Manimal." 

With the embarrassing revelations, I felt that Dr. Oz had preyed a little bit on their love for him -- why would anyone ever agree to do go on tv and ask those kinds of questions?  What would Dr. Drew say about this?  Don't they have bosses and family members and friends?  Which brings me to...

One of the Great Mysteries of Life:  I'm told that everyone, even the most annoying and hateful people, perhaps even my Starbucks Nemesis, have friends and families who love them.  Maybe there is good in everyone.  I'm still not convinced, but maybe if I leave my heart light on, it'll make it easier to find everyone's lovable qualities. 

I'm clearly not as evolved as ET, Dr. Oz, Marilu Henner, or possibly even Ray J, but I'm getting there.
