The complete waste of Brooke Hogan and other things that irritate me…

June 26th, 2006   1 Comment »

Ok so I’m watching the season finale of Hogan Knows Best last night. Brooke Hogan finally got her big break, signed with a record label and went off to make her first music video, which they showed in its entirety at the end of the show.

So I’m watching this abomination, and what do I see? Her debut single isn’t really her. It’s her singing filler between the moronic ramblings of some ugly ass rapper named Paul Wall or some crap like that. So she’s dancing around to this idiotic cloned out crappy computer generated “music” while he raps, and then she gets to sing her part, which also sucked, but not because of her.

See, Brooke Hogan actually does have talent. She can play the piano and she sings and dances wonderfully. What’s sad is the utter waste of her talent and the utterly horrible decision to make her debut single a combo of her and some moron no one’s ever heard of rather than just putting the spotlight on her. Also, wasting her talent on that type of cookie cutter wortless garbage “music” was just a shame, and it was really sad to see. I think they were so hot to get her signed that they never really considered what they were signing her up for. I just hope that one day she’ll actually put her foot down and start doing real music like she was trained to do rather than this computerized, cloned out crap that sounds like everything everyone else is doing in that genre. I’d really hate to see all her talent wasted on that crap just because she signed with the wrong people.

Now, something else was irritating me. What was it? Christ I’m getting old. Then again it is morning and I got the funk real bad, so that’s probably why I can’t think of what it was. I guess I might as well talk about more VH1 reality stuff since I can’t think of what the other things were.

You know, I liked the first season of My Fair Brady. He’s a bitch and she’s a pain in the ass, so it made it kinda fun to watch and I was really pulling for them. That was good for one season. This new season however has them doing nothing but examining their relationship and how they treat each other and constantly questioning why they’re getting married if they have all these problems. It’s just getting old. The fact is, Adrianne pushed this marriage thing on him and laid down ultimatums and what not, when frankly, rather than dealing with all this crap, they should have worked on strengthening their relationship before the subject of marriage ever even thought of coming up. I mean, show after show of them fighting, being a bitch to each other and having sex gets old after a while. I think they both need to grow up both logically and emotionally and start treating each other with respect. The show would be a lot more enjoyable if they did. The fighting and bickering was fun during the first season, but it’s just worn thin now. Let me end this part though by saying that I do like them both and hope they have a happy life together.

Now there’s this other show called Supergroup where they throw a bunch of rock music celebs together in a band for 12 days and then at the end they have to do a concert in Las Vegas with at least two original songs. Now, if you’re going to have a show called Supergroup, wouldn’t it make sense to actually have people on the show that could actually make a supergroup? The only one on the show really worthy of being in a supergroup is Ted Nugent. Sebastian Bach is a bitch, Scott Ian seems like a really good guy but he’s not exactly at guitar god status, Evan whatever the hell his name is on bass I never even heard of, and Scott Bonham is just your average drummer with a hand that keeps going numb.

So who would have been good on the show besides Ted? How about Neil Pert on drums? How about Gene Simmons or Geddy Lee on bass? How about Brian May or Bruce Culick on guitar? And how about like Joe Elliot or Vince Neil or even Bret Michaels on vocals? There are so many good choices aside from these guys that I didn’t even mention here that it really makes me wonder how they ended up with the lineup they did. It’s like they didn’t even put any real thought into it. Anyway, I guess in the final show that bitch bass player they got walks out on them and leaves them without a bass player for the concert. No big loss there. :P

I really want to see another season of the Surreal Life, another season of Celebrity Fit Club (just because Harvey’s so fun to watch) and another season of So Notorious, which I think didn’t get a fair shake in the ratings. That show is great! :)

Anyway, I need to get a shower and get cleaned up for the day so these flies can stop buzzin’ around my head. So until next time just remember, wherever you go…there you are. :)

Totally irritated…

So my wife and I bought a couple of bikes recently so we could go riding together. Unfortunately, she doesn’t know how to ride because she hasn’t done it since she was like eight years old, so we’ve been working on teaching her. She’s coming along nicely and in a couple of weeks I’m sure she’ll have it down. That’s not what this story is totally about though.

See, we also bought a basketball with the intention of being able to ride together over to the local school where we would shoot baskets for a while and then ride back home. It was a nice thought…

Last night I had the urge to go shoot some baskets for no particular reason, so I suggested we throw her bike in the car and we head over to the school so I could shoot baskets and she could practice her riding. So we did.

However, we get over to the school, I unload the bike, and we head over to the basketball courts. I look up and what do I see? They removed all the friggin’ hoops off the backboards! My god I was pissed. So we threw the bike back in the car and went home.

Now there are two things that really pissed me off here. #1 is the fact that most of our damn property taxes go to pay for these stupid schools when we don’t even have a kid. As far as I’m concerned, we should only have to pay a minimal amount towards the schools, and people who actually have kids should have to not only pay more, but should have to pay extra for each child they have. That’s another rant though. Irregardless, our tax dollars go to support the damn school, so we should be able to go hang out there and shoot baskets on the open playground after hours and during the summer if we want to. The second thing that pissed me off about this is that there is just no reason in the world to take the hoops down. They could say, “Oh well we don’t want the liability of people possibly getting hurt while playing basketball after hours.” or whatever, but the thing is, while we were there we saw some dude there with his two young kids and the kids were playing all over the jungle gym thing. So if they were worried about liability, they should have torn that down for the summer too. The whole thing was just ridiculous and I’ve never seen a school do something so utterly pointless and idiotic. Well…yeah I have, but still…

Anyway, so we came home all pissed off, but at least we spent some time working on Sharon’s riding. She’s starting to get the hang of it and she’s actually riding in longer and longer spurts now. She’s just gotta get more of a handle on balance and learn not to overcorrect her steering and she’ll be ok. :)

Anyway, the long and the short of it is, now we either have to buy a hoop for our driveway or find a different school to go to. Either way it’s something we shouldn’t have to bother with. :P

All you can really say about this one is…oops.

A teenager left at home while his parents were on holiday decided to do some washing – and ended up blowing the roof off and causing £35,000 of damage. In a freak string of mishaps, Sean Davey, 18, left a washing basket full of clothes on top of the electric cooker. He then accidentally knocked one of the hob controls, turning on one of the rings, before going out to meet friends. The heated ring set fire to the basket of clothes which, in turn, heated a nearby bag of shopping that his sister Nicky, 20, had left for her brother earlier in the day. And that caused a can of Sure deodorant to explode with such force that it not only blew out windows but cracked a wall and even, briefly, lifted the roof off the bungalow. Three fire crews tackled the blaze in the home at Caister-on-Sea near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, on Sunday evening. Firemen rescued one of the family’s labrador dogs while the other one escaped of his own accord and reappeared, somewhat shaken, eight hours later. Joanne Bray, who cut short her holiday in the Scottish Highlands with her husband Paul when they heard of the disaster, said yesterday that structural damage to the building was estimated at £20,000 with another £15,000 needed to repair fire and smoke damage inside. “Sean phoned me and said: ‘Mum, the house is on fire.’ I have forgiven him because it was just one of those unfortunate accidents. I am just grateful that he and the dogs are alive and well,” said Mrs Bray. “I can’t really blame him for what happened. I would be happy to leave him again when we next go on holiday. It is just ironic that the fire was started by the electric hob because Sean didn’t actually cook anything while we were away – he survived on microwave meals and takeaways.” Alan Jaye, the watch manager with Norfolk Fire Service, said: “The can of deodorant was left near the cooker hood in the kitchen. The pressure waves that aerosols give off when they explode can be quite phenomenal. “In this case, the force of the blast was so great that some of the window frames were pushed right out and a crack was put in the building. “We would advise families never to expose aerosol cans to any heat.” Sean and his parents were staying with friends yesterday.

Oh man… Can’t blame anyone for being a moron with this one really. It was all just a series of accidents that happened in the right order to allow this to happen. At least the kid was lucky enough to be out of the house at the time. Man, I never realized how bad an explosion from an aerosol can could be. That’s really scary.
