So, speaking of Twihards, I just started teaching middle school Language Arts this week and ran into my first one. She was pretty intense. But, unlike many of the kids in my classes, she's reading books of her own volition, tends to spell most words correctly, and can string together complex sentences. Sure, she has little outbursts about how she LOVES EDWARD CULLEN OMGOMGOMGOMG! But all in all, I'll take it over "I hate reading" any day.
Chris Brown "I want to find out what as transpired as me that night"..
Is it just me, or is it all about Chris Brown, all the time...nothing like a Narcissist to put things into perspective for the rest of the planet. Yes, Chris, you need to really need to find out the TRUTH about that night. Maybe hypnotherapy???
Because, pretty much everyone can guesstimate as to what actually happened, you ah, how do I put this, beat the crap out of your girlfriend. We have pictures if you need some sort of "proof".
@moissie: He seems to have a special talent for dodging responsibility. Something "transpired" in him that night-- as if it was somehow beyond his control? And "when you're young you don't know how to express your emotions"?!! Plenty of young people make the transition to adulthood without severely beating the people they claim to love. Sorry, CB, but the youth excuse doesn't fly.
The Bowtie of Contrition ought to become a national symbol. Act like an asshat? You get The Bowtie! I mean, Tucker Carlson already wears one 24-7. Michael Vick could play football in The Bowtie of Contrition for the next two years. Alan Greenspan won't even need to go shopping for his "sorry about the economy"-wear. Elliott Spitzer, Mark Sanford, John Ensign, Ingrid Newkirk . . . think what it would do for the haberdashery business.
"I want to understand my feelings. I want to find out what really transpired as far as me that night."
I don't even know where to start parsing this one. On the face of it, it sounds like the words of someone who really wants to get at the heart of why he beat up a 90-pound woman but then you remember it's Chris Brown and this is like the 15th statement he's made that sounds exactly like this but he doesn't actually ever say flat-out, "I beat her up. I am so sorry. I will get counseling."
Well... I'm not going to say I'm exactly crushed that Casey Wilson is leaving, but what little that Michaela Watkins got to contribute this season to SNL was really good, so all the best to her!
Why does Chris Brown think wearing a bow tie is cool? All it does is make him look douchier (sp?). I guess he's in good company with the likes of Tucker Carlson, George Will and Krusty the Klown. You sir are no PeeWee Herman!
Chris Brown has had plenty of time to seek out counseling. If he was really interested in making a change in himself and not just his image then he'd be in counseling already.
Tim Gunn is set to star in his own Marvel comic book
This is the single greatest sentence in the history of the written word. I am pretty sure there is light shining from it, and I think I may hear a choir of angles.
Poor Jane Fonda. If you make any comments about the sufferings of Israel, you're against Palestine. If you mention the Palestinians, you are conspiring for the destruction of Israel.
So how are we supposed to phrase any comment on the topic?
@JessaFields: Oh, yeah. I looked it up and he was arrested for attacking a boy with a golf club and he also made racial slurs about Silpa Shetty on "Big Brother." I hate him.
I wish Chris Brown would just say, "I hit my girlfriend. Repeatedly. I acted in a violent and unacceptable fashion and I am ashamed of myself. I will seek therapeutic help to ensure this never happens again and I accept whatever lawful punishment I receive." Preferably said without the Bowtie of Contrition.
I'd respect him a lot more and be much more willing to give the kid a second chance, but I suppose it's too much to ask...
While I believe that Chris Brown needs therapy (and plenty of it) he is far too similar in appearance, mannerism (and even first name) to my violent little puke of an ex for me to believe that he is completely owning up to this. I am seeing a poorly executed PR campaign, not a man really seeking help. If he really wants to change, he should spend less time on television talking about it, and more time in therapy and working for good causes.
