Beauty And The Daily Beast

 


Man, I did not see that coming. The Beckham's. You know, Bend it Beckham and Spicey Beckham. I'm not sure why they are still in the news. Seems they peaked in the 90's and now just go to fashion shows. Word is Mama Spice hates her son's wife. Ah, so familiar. No one's good enough for the son. Apparently, Bronx, no, Staten, no, Brooklyn, their nepo baby has had enough and claims to never speak to his parents ever again. Whatevs. It's a story since time began. Seems these images of Victoria ruining the wedding have been going around. It's laughable, actually, and AI generated. 


But, I digress, because I don't care about the Beckham's. They were never on my radar. There are a lot of things I choose not to care about. The Kardashians, rich housewives, Mormons, coding ...

That doesn't mean I remain in a bubble. I'm always checking out our current world events. But, there really are people who choose not to know what's going on around them. I was watching Joanna Coles and Michael Wolff on their channel, The Daily Beast. Joanna mentioned the fashion designer Valentino had died, then she shared her story about going to meet him one day. Before she entered his domain she was told not to mention the war in Iraq. She thought this an odd thing. Why would she mention it, but why would Valentino be upset if she did? Apparently, Valentino was protected from hearing any bad news. Ever. His life was filled with beauty and beautiful things. Always. That was his world. He lived to be 93, so maybe we should all consider living in our own bubble. War in Ukraine? Never heard of it. A demented American president demanding he be given Greenland!? Who's the president?

There are people who live as Valentino did- oblivious to anything other than what they need and want in their lives. I almost went there myself after the November election. I was so down the rabbit hole I was thinking of staying there. I really had planned on not listening or reading anything regarding world events for the next four years. I think that lasted about a month. I can understand why Valentino chose to block out the ugliness because those who see the world as it is suffer mentally and physically. It takes a toll, seeing how awful humans can be. But, what if we all just stuck our heads in the sand?

We need beautiful things in our lives, even if we can only look and dream, because it's attainable, it's real, but, we cannot expect a world of beautiful wonders if we don't confront the ugliness.

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...

An Empty Vessel

Image
He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.
