Love him or hate him, I admire Eminem's take on addiction. He's not glorifying it, he's not bragging about it, he's not blaming anyone for it. He's owning it.
I love how when Britney & Madonna & Christina kissed it was considered hot and sensational. Yet when Adam Lambert kisses a man it's disgusting and oh my god, think of the children!
You know, it's nice to hear such rational, real things come out of Eminem's mouth. He always acted like such a jackass, posturing and putting on a show, so it's really nice to hear him being so honest and, I dunno, respectful.
@BlondeGoddess: I dunno, in my experience vicodin has a pretty limited vocabulary, starting with "so what?" and ending with "la la la, who cares, where's my cigarettes?"
as much as simon le bon broke my teenage heart by getting married, at least he married a gorgeous and tough lady who would probably do the exact same thing i would do if i was married to him. i mean, 20 years of seeing the band perform...it's not like she can sit there with a straight face and say "baby, it was sooo awesome" every. single. time.
@Ailatan: I was just coming here to say that angrily! Mr. Darcy is not fat! He's healthy and robust and he goes swimming at Pemberley and fencing in town and and...YOU SUCK!
There are so many talented musicians out there who never get the recognition they deserve that it is difficult for me to get thrilled about someone getting 8 or 10 Grammy nominations.
@GreyCat: Seconded. The Grammys are straight commercial awards, so I'm rarely excited about anyone being nominated for or winning one. It's always the same 5 artists who are played every 5 minutes on the radio, so where's the suspense?
@Hooplehead: Me too. I haven't really cared for anything she's done since, like, Center Stage, but this quote is pretty awesome. It pretty much sums up my whole life philosophy...
That USA Today piece on Viggo Mortensen failed to include this quote from Ronniedobbs, lover of Eastern Promises: "Viggo was so hot in that naked steamroom fight that my heart still flutters when I think about it."
@ronniedobbs: And longtime Viggo supporter RaginCajun67 adds, "The fact that Viggo actually created his character's paintings for A Perfect Murder demonstrates his commitment to his roles--plus he's HAWT!"
@ronniedobbs: My heart flutters whenever I think about Viggo period. I can't think of a movie that wasn't made infinitely better by his role in it. Amazing actor. Poet. Musician.
@ragincajun67: unfortunately, his poetry is terrible (you can find it on the interwebs I think) but it's not like he'd be the first awful poet I went "camping" with.
@J.D.Regent: I know, right? I am embarrassed to think of how many crappy poets I went backpacking with in my 20's (who thought of themselves, of course, as outdoor nature men, but then couldn't figure out how to pitch a tent and came home with giardia because they didn't think it was necessary to purify river water).
@rowingrowingrowing: I am now realizing that I have never hung out with a guy who wrote 'poetry' that was ever any good. i've had to do a lot of 'wow...that was really...interesting and intense!" 's in my time.
I agree with them calling Down Syndrome abortions "social abortions" because it brings to light, that the only reason to abort those children is to have a socially accepted child the next time.
This goes for those people seeking to find a way to test for Autistic children, so parents don't have to deal with the "further pain" of having a child who is different.
I have Asperger's Syndrome, and I think organizations like CAN which seek to find ways to use eugenics against people on the Autism spectrum are terrible.
@AngelaDemonice: Holy conflation batman! Down syndrome also exists along a spectrum, but the people you see out and about living a certain adapted life is not the majority. There exist a multitude of Down syndrome individuals with severe mental retardation, congenital heart defects and other seriously life impeding issues. Having seen it from up close I would never fault anybody for terminating a pregnancy with trisomy-21 diagnosis, since rearing a child like that can mean a road of hardship and exhaustion, not to forget the Sisyphean American struggle to have specialistic care funded and organised. It's not exactly a choice of convenience. #abortions
