Fat People in the Media.
I know that we’re a visual society. I also know that we’re not all a skinny society. Or a pretty society. Some of you are downright nasty. So who are you to judge or make comments about NJ’s Governor Chris Christie. Yes, we can see that he’s a big guy. Yes, he’s overweight, yes he’s in the public eye. When I see grown adults making childish comments like “Chris Christie learns that the Five Guys by the state Capitol is closed prompting him to declare a state of emergency in New Jersey” or ”Chris Christie looks like he ate the hurricane,” it irks the shit out of me.
I know folks try to post funny shit on twitter and facebook, but to me, it’s like the class clown hasn’t grown up. It might be funny when you’re under the age of 20, but as an adult, I think it’s kind of fucked up.
Same thing goes with Khloe Kardashian. I love my guys on the Preston & Steve show, but I cringe whenever they talk about her. “She is a BIG BIG girl.” Really? She’s tall. Have you taken a long look at her? She’s leggy and tall, definitely NOT fat or overweight at all. When she stands next to her sisters and Mom, yes, in comparison she is BIGGER than them, but by no means fat. It’s pretty shitty when you’re not a size 6 & in the media or Hollywood spotlight.
I bet most of you who are cracking jokes about Chris Christie or even Khloe Kardashian won’t be on the cover of any magazine anytime soon.
Wedding Registries & Slobs…
So. There are 2 people I know and they’re getting married. The oddest of all couples.
Groom: Early 40’s, goofy looking and sometimes I think he’s missing a chromosome or something. Something wrong with his hands, like his fingers can’t bend.
Bride: Early 30’s, stuck in a 1995 Gothic look, dyes her hair black, only wears black clothing & obsessed with Korn and Radiohead.
I’ve had the privilege of living with these 2 people for a few months. I’ve seen how they live, I’ve seen inside of their bedroom. It ain’t pretty.
So they’re registered with Macy’s and Target. The Macy’s registry is so obnoxious that I wish I could contact everyone on their guest list and tell them to save their money! An $80 skillet? A $50 cake plate? I have yet to see her bake a cake, let alone clean dishes within hours of cooking (when she decides to cook). They have 2 cats and the cats piss all over the house when they’re in heat. No, they are not fixed. They’d rather spend $50 on take out than use that money and get those poor cats fixed. So they register for a Dyson Pet-Hair vacuum. This vacuum runs around $500. Yep, that’s right. You read that correctly. They need $500 worth of cleaning supplies and air fresheners, instead!!!
If only their family and friends really knew how these two live. Its a real shame. I don’t even know why they registered for backyard furniture when their backyard is filled with trash, weeds and empty boxes. When the snow started to melt in Feb, she said she’d clean out the yard. As of June that never happened. Makes me sick.
I think they’re greedy and that they don’t deserve anything nice. One time, when I was alone in the house, I thought one of the cats got into their bedroom (he left the door cracked). So I was hearing weird noises, this was the first time I was alone in the house, so I got a little panicky. I poked my head into the room. I almost threw up. Between the bed and the wall (behind the door), there was a pile, knee high, of pizza boxes, take out containers, empty soda bottles and bags. Garbage. I could NOT believe that I was living in the next room, not hearing mice or rats crawling in the walls! I don’t know how people live like this? Is it laziness? Is it how they were brought up? Is it comforting to them to live like pigs? I just don’t get it. So yes, call me judgmental, call me close-minded and rude. I’ll take that over being a fucking slob like that, any day!
Okay, so back to the wedding registry. Sheets. A bedding set. They only have one set of sheets, so I would like to see them get more. That kind of grosses me out, too. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them do a load of wash that included sheets. Don’t even get me started on the toilet seat that was broken when I moved in and still not fixed by the time I moved out. And yes, the replacement seat was leaning up against the bathroom wall the whole time. The dirty dishes that were kept in the oven until I moved in. When I moved in, the dirty dishes were moved into a box that was kept under the kitchen table. Yup, you guessed it — the box was still there when I moved out.
I just wanna scream when I see their registry! Some people do not deserve nice things. I mean, if they work hard and buy the nice things themselves, okay, fine. But when you’re getting married and you think you’re entitled to all of this expensive shit, especially when you live like a pig, then that’s when I have the problem.
Let The Kvetching Begin.
Consider yourself warned. I’m just getting started.
