#17 sunny: If you are interested, there is a long rant about it on my blog. (3rd post from the top.)

Point being:
Who is the singer who has drug issues and is fighting for the custody of her children?
Who is Heath Ledger and why is he hot news right now?
Who is Ivan Vujačić and why is he hot news right now?

Can you answer more than 2/3?

this was a bad post - basically V was whining about life being tough while managing to show off all the things she’s doing. most people narrow down choices on their own.

sami, what do you mean by western censorship?

Do humans have a certain amount of downer drugs built into their brains, because it seems the more fulfilled a person is most of the time the weaker stuff they find to angst about.

Not that I’m doing a good job making choices.

V so nailed this one. I can’t tell you how many times I have stood in front of the toothpaste display, frustrated because there were so damn many choices!! I mean, after all - if I chose the wrong one, my teeth would stop being white, or they would get soft, or - horrors - rot and fall out!! I HAD to make the right choice! Finally, after a lifetime of pinching pennies, I had to good luck to be able to afford a cruise and what happens? Which cruise to go on!! If I didn’t pick the right one, I might not have as good a time, and who knows when I would be able to go again!! ARRRGGHHH! It was making me crazy.

V - what a pathetic whiner you are lately. If any mommy blogger wrote this, you’d have a field day makng fun of them.

IF you are lucky enough to be engaged in hobbies, volunteer work, investing in real estate - then good for you. Coming from humble begingings, I’d think you’d appreciate what you have and shut the fuck up with the whining.

Here’s something I haven’t seen in a while, A VA post not dealing with mommybloggers!

I disagree that too many choices is hell. Too many choices is hell when you don’t know what it is you want. I’m a cheapskate, so I always make decisions based on how much something costs, unless it’s food. I think you just need to figure out which parameters are most important to you (and slightly less important) and mess with them until you’re bored or frustrated, and pick the one with the coolest name.

And that’s how babies are made.

Hey V, the antidote for indecision is a To Do list. Item #1 should be scheduling that photo shoot because the gauntlet has been thrown.

Guess who just got her shapely mug printed on the front page of 200,000 copies of Redeye, the free daily rag published by the Chicago Tribune?

That’s a TON of free exposure. Literally.

I agree with this 100%!

Western Cencorship works better than any other mankind has tried. Multiple choices makes us blind.

This topic is one of my regular rants about modern (western) society.

Good post.

Wasn’t really clear why V was complaining at first, made sense near the end.

Something to chew on.
