Oh for fuck's sake, leave James Frey alone!...Oprah, you need to stop saying whatever it takes to make the most money.

Aaaaaalright.....I am getting sick of all this shit going on about James Frey's book " A Million Little Peices." I bought the book before all this contoversy started, and I enjoyed reading it a lot.. Oh wait...sorry....MY SISTER bought the book for me. I guess that makes a HUGE difference right? Oh I am such a LIAR. WHO GIVES A FUCK??!!! People read it and enjoyed the story!!! As I was reading it, some parts seemed a little fairy tailish and movie-like to me and I kind of knew it probably was altered for good story telling, but I didn't care. None of this is news to me that things have been changed. This guy is a first time author with not a lot of writing experience, and he told what would make an interesting story! He took a real life expereince and made it to what would make it more entertaining and gripping. This does not make him a bad person, it makes him know the industry pretty well. He isn't a polished off publisher and he's new to the game...so I guess the main problem was it was catagorized as a memoire when it may have been better off as something else. The fact is, he was a drug abuser and went through the rehab...there ya go...its based on true events if that is what is so important. For pete's sake look at what movie's do to so called "true stories" but nobody complains about that, because the movie is meant to entertain and we know that it has been "hollywoodized" if you will. If you liked the book...shut the hell up...it served its purpose as a fucking book. Jesus. And Oprah...I think its really fucking pathetic how you went on Larry King Live and told millions of people that you supported this guy, and now after that your stupid fans didn't back you up one hundred percent...you completely do a one eighty. You do and say whatever is going to agree with the public most to ensure you stay rich. Thats disgusting and you are a person with way to much fucking power in this world. You're right up there with Paris Hilton. I hope people start to see through your fake exterior real soon, I sure do. Oh man, I don't get how some people are famous..it's so sad. Anyways, James...I think you're an excellent writer and I'm hoping all this bullshit goes away for your sake. People are idiots and always want to bitch about something...I say ignore it and keep writing.

Happy New Year!

You'd think after a month of not writing anything I'd have something to say thats potentially interesting. Nope. I live in suburbia...what can I write about? I read other people's blogs and it seems that at one time or another...they all experience writer's block and go for a month or so without posting a thing. Its weird though because December is full of old friends coming home for the holidays and staying out late and wonderful winter weather and new years eve! But anything I would say about all that would be predictible and cliche. Don't get me wrong, the past month has been great....and maybe thats why i've been neglectful of this blog..i've just been enjoying myself and all my surroundings. The one thing that is coming up in March, is that i'm going to go to the Dominican with my boyfriend Dave! I've never been anywhere tropical before, and I can tell planning this trip is going to consume my life for the next couple of months. It probably sounds weird that we've only been together for a couple months or so and we are going on this big vacation, but I've never felt to comfortable with someone in such a small amount of time. This trip is going to be awsome. I have to try and fit into a bakini a lot sooner than I thought though. Shitty shitty shit. I am so ready for summer now, with tank tops and zitless skin (mostly). And I'm going to have a big BBQ cause those are always fun...and now we have a ping pong table so thats gunna be some good drunken times right there. I need to practice my skills. This is the most disorganized post i've ever written. Ok i'll write again when i'm more articulate. Is that spelled right? Meh. Bye.
