Silicone, drifting friends, and Glenn Beck the hypocrite

I woke up this morning with my least favorite Lady Gaga song stuck in my head. It's the one that begins "Silicone, saline, poison, inject me baby I'm a free bitch..." I have no idea why I get some songs stuck in my head, but I think it's related to recent Heidi Montag news. My sister sent me a link yesterday about Heidi reversing her multiple plastic surgeries and wanting to go back to the way she used to look. What a poor, silly thing. I'm against plastic surgery for most people and do not understand why ANYONE would want to cut themselves up and stuff themselves with foreign materials in order to look like another person or fit in with society's standards. It's bizarre to me. Of course, there are people who have been in accidents or women who have lost their breasts to cancer, or women who suffer from back problems because of their breasts, and surgery is helpful and life-saving in that way, and I understand that. What I don't get is why a beautiful girl would undergo twelve separate surgeries to completely change her appearance.

Own who you are.

Apparently she was interviewed by tabloid Life & Style (but you can read about the interview on Celebitchy for free) in case you want to hear her side of the story and why she thought it would be a good idea to cut up her chest, cheeks, eyebrows, ass, lips, ears, et cetera. Oh Heidi, you little famewhore. Are you happy now? Will you be happy once you get your boobs reduced? I sure hope so.

For Day 14 of my 30 day Twitter-inspired challenge (click here to see where it all began) I am to address someone I've drifted away from. Today's challenge could go in a number of ways, but I think I will approach it in a nice way. Everyone has friends that they've drifted away from. It's only natural that as we get older and our interests change that we lose touch with some people that we once considered close friends. I don't feel bad about it-- sure, we could sit around and reminisce about the stuff we used to do together, but how fun is that when we could be making new memories?

@DriftedFriend: Yo! I hope you're well and life is good for you. I've been great, no complaints here. But maybe you could find out if your company's hiring?

In other news, did you watch the Daily Show last night? Jon Stewart went on a ten minute long rant, albeit eloquent and humorous, about Glenn Beck and his brilliant idea to have a march to the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's Freedom March, where he gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech to an audience of hundreds of thousands in 1963. I highly doubt that the date and location of Beck's rally was a coincidence, but then again I don't really care.

I will not support the idiot or give him an even bigger platform than he already has, but I will say that Jon Stewart hit the nail on the head when he proved Beck's hypocritical nature. Beck talks about Democrats doing all this fear-mongering to scare people into believing their agenda. Um, Mr. Beck, isn't that THE SOLE PURPOSE OF YOUR SHOW??? All you do is drum up fear and scare people into buying into the bullshit that spews from your mouth. And no, I do not think that the government is out to get me, and no I do not have to listen to anything you say. It saddens me that people take this schmuck seriously.

Here is the link to the video of Jon Stewart ripping Beck a proverbial new one.
