Mr. Durst leave Britney Spears Alone

Gosh, the girl is on an up swing in her career and this musician wants his fifteen minutes extended.  Who cares if he dated her?

She was having problems back then, everybody could see it.  Britney had just become an adult. Everybody in their early twenty's gets into some problems, some not as severe as others.  
Ms. Spears had broken up with several men.  Who cares?

I am directing the next part to Mr. Durst:
You're interview for people magazine was self serving.  Not beneficial to anybody but yourself.  So Mr. Durst, live your life, have your fame without using someone who clearly has had problems, but has unburied herself to become a mature artist.  At 38, you might want to do the same.

And on a personal note:
I am not a huge fan of hers, I don't own one album.  But she has changed, I see that, maybe people need to give her some slack.

The Web might not have everything on it.

I got a Costco card, because on the BJ's web-site, there was not a store close to my location.  When driving around my area, I found a BJ's warehouse.  

This is not the first time the Internet has not had the information I needed.  Big corporations need to keep their sites updated.  In this time of cell phones, blackberries, wireless routers, and other ways to connect, a business needs to stay current to be competitive. 

I told the store manager of this, and was told they would look into it.  I hope they do because they almost lost a customer, because of lack of information.

Posting on Huffington Post

Huffington Post has grown into one of the leading web-newspapers.  Arianna Huffington and Kenneth Lerer founded the web-newspaper in May 2005.   

This is where I gravitated to over the past few months. 

Reading the headlines there is an informative past time.  My favorite part of the site is the comment section below every article.  This section has brought together many individuals with diverse opinions.  

Sometimes the posters can be insulting.  Other times those posters can be quite informative.  This culture of being able to read and give an opinion after reading those articles is something very refreshing.  

This is where I have been writing in short little bursts of inspiration.  I have only written there for the past few months, but during that time I felt more connected to others with differing and similar opinions.

Huffington Post's objective was that, I think. The web-newspaper  brings reports to peoples attention, and then finds out what the public really thinks is fantastic.  

The founders of this country, which put the freedom of press in the first amendment of the constitution, would be proud of what Huffington Post has accomplished.  Keep up the good work editors, and to the public who posts, I love reading everybody's opinions.

Break time over

Scribbling got put on the back burner.  I had tried to continue but the distraction of two toddlers and a pregnancy got in the way.  

I hope in the up coming year to write more about politics, entertainment, and international headlines that I have come across.  My candidate did win the presidency, but it looks like he is having some troubles with right wing conservatives being "no men".  BUT that will be in up coming columns.

The Octo-mom story has engulfed my interest.  I am trying to ween myself from that tragic story,  but with all train wrecks, I have had a hard time looking away.  So if she shows up, like now, it is because I have read a whole lot of articles recently about the situation.  I would love to figure out what drives a person to such criminal and selfish behavior.

Thank you for reading and being patient with me.  More to come... I just hope it does not take four months to get back to my blog.
