Let me start out this post by saying that I do not like to keep up w/ celebrity gossip very much.

I don't like reality or celebrity TV and the only thing you'll catch me watching on E! TV is the True Hollywood story of 24 or some other awesome show or individual.

The only celebrity gossip that I enjoy is stuff like David Beckham coming to America. I hope it does well for the sport here. Also... Posh spice is funny.

Since I sit at a computer all day and look at news I do find out some things unfortunately.
I am sad that Fox News puts that info on it's front page.

This week:




Lindsay Lohan apparently drove drunk and was caught w/ cocaine in her pocket. (This is after a recent stay in rehab. Followed by a DUI right after her 21 birthday. Outstanding.) Then she had the audacity to say the crack IN HER POCKET wasn't hers. Oops my bad... I somehow slipped a couple of oz. of into your pochket in your skin tight pants w/out you noticing. Wow.

How do you go through rehab... turn 21 and decide... I should pick up drinking again. Allsome!!
Remember when she was cute on Parent Trap? Or even maybe a little bit around Mean Girls Simpler times... Simpler times.





Britney apparently had some outburst while having a photo shoot w/ OK! magazine. I don't know too much about the whole thing... but apparently she showed up an hour late to the photo shoot went nuts... fired the whole crew of OK! people, started ranting and raving, promoted her bodyguard "Funk" to be her stylist, started the interview, stopped it in a couple of minutes, ate some chicken for lunch, rubbed the grease from the chicken on her $300 dress that she was borrowing from OK!, let her dog pee on a $7000 gown, ruined a pair Ver-Saw-Chee shoes by spilling something on them, went to the bathroom w/ the door open, and finally walked out. Oh yeah, she and her entourage.... no wait let me change that. Calling them an entourage is an insult to the term and the HBO series. Her and her gang of yahoo yes-men, idiots walked out w/ some of OK!'s clothes. Yes... Britney Spears is now literally a thief. Even more outstanding.

It's a very... very sad day when K-Fed is the better option for parenting.







Next up is Kim Kardashian. You're probably asking... Holy crap who's Karen Kadishgan? Wait was it Kim... I forgot already! You're correct in asking this. Somebody even less worthy of fame than Paris Hilton. At least Paris had a TV show and has acted in something and sang a song. You may recall the surname Kardiscan... because her dad Robert Kardashian was OJ Simpson's defense lawyer in the murder case involving Nicole Brown. Why is she on this list... Apparently a few years ago Kelli had sex w/ some guy named RayJ and let him film it. Wow. Good idea Kali... er Kim. (Who are you again?) Who has sex with somebody and lets them film it? How stupid can you be? And who has sex with somebody named Ray J? Her BFF is Paris Hilton... you would think she could have thought about this.

What's Karla known for recently? She recently made a public appearance at a fund raiser. Sounds decent. She didn't necessarily contribute any funds and can't because she has no job... but she showed up and that's what counts. What was the fund raiser you ask? Oh it was the Nicole Brown Foundation (against family violence.)

Yes.

That's right.

Kami showed up at a fund raiser in memory of a woman that was murdered by one of her father's best friends. Oh yeah.... to boot, her father got him off of that one. I'm still not saying OJ did it... but have some decency to think about the situation. I wonder if even occurred to her this might be a little politically incorrect.







Finally we come to Paris Hilton... who hasn't done anything too recently. But she went to jail... how stupid to you have to be to be sent to jail on those terms. How immature and ridiculous do you have to be to get caught drunk driving, have your license revoked and decide to do it again? I mean... I'd like to know what went on in her mind that time....

"Well... I know I'm not supposed to drink really... and they said i shouldn't drive. i know it's illegal... but maybe they won't see me. I mean I'm not that big of a deal am I? People are out there murdering and raping.... I'm just driving after they took my license away. Drunk. There are worse things in the world right? I think I'll do it. It won't hurt anybody"

Then you got sent to jail.. and you had the audacity to go to an awards show or something a couple of hours before. And you get all made up for your mug shot... be a friggin' normal person show up on time do your time and move on w/ your life. Don't do an interview afterwards about how it changed you. Because it didn't. You still party. You still contribute nothing.

I hate the fact that I know that you exist.




I want a reality show to end all reality shows. I will watch if they put this on. Put these women as well as a few other people I can think of.... in a large estate for the summer. Lock them in there and tell them they can literally do what ever they want on the estate grounds.... but you can't leave... You want drugs... sure we'll have them shipped in. Alcohol? you bet! No rules just happy fun times all day and night. No interference from staff... just do it like Big brother. cameras everywhere.

Within the summer AT LEAST one of them would be dead and the other ones would have left them there to rot. Write that down. That would be good reality TV.

***** Edit: I wish the best for each of these people. I really hope that God calls them from their sin and pulls them from the life they are living. I don't mean to make light of anything that is happening for any of them... but I believe that the state they are in is a result of their actions and their sin.
***** End edit

Tangent and rant over. Sorry.

Maybe I'm being a little harsh. OK, I know I'm being EXTREMELY harsh... But I just wonder what led these people to think the behavior they exhibit is acceptable. If I EVER acted like that my parents would have beat me and my bottom beyond recognition... and rightly so. Just hearing that crap infuriates me.

Jackson is actually doing things to defy what Jen and I want... obviously the kid is 7 months old... he has no clue what he's doing. He just knows he wants to do something and I don't let him or I make him do something he doesn't want. For instance... Sometimes he likes to play when he wakes up in the middle of the night. Not cool. I go in there to flip him back on his stomach to go back to sleep. He'll resist and flop back over and give me a dirty look. Now he doesn't have a clue what a spanking is about... So I don't do that yet. But I do flip him back over time after time. He needs to know that night is when we sleep and day is when we play. He needs to know he can't rip my nose or mouth off when I'm feeding him. I know he doesn't get it.. but after I stop him a few times... he'll get the idea and quit.

You have to let kids know there are consequences for their actions. I question if any of these people above were spanked much if at all. It's obvious that some of these people don't think there are consequences for their actions. What's worse is that people report this trash as if there is something to defend here or as if it's no big thing. Atrocious.

I look at that and I think of some of the people I went to college w/ that drank every night and did drugs... promiscuous sex. I asked several of them a question and found an interesting recurrence. Very few of them were spanked.

That being said.... I have more than a few nonchristian friends in life. Some closer than some christian friends. Even among my nonchristian friends... I find the ones that were spanked and disciplined come out to be better people w/ better decison making skills than my christian friends who didn't get disciplined much...

Sometimes I look at Jackson w/ Jen and we wonder what kind of person will he turn out to be? Will he be an athlete? Will he be a thinker like me? Will he like football? Will he like ballet? Will he want to smoke a pipe like I do? Will he do drugs? Will he love God? Will he turn out homosexual some day? Will he be a jerk? Will he be a good man? Where will he go to school Will he meet a girl? Will I have grandkids? Great Grandkids even? What will he do w/ his life? What kinda of person will he be?

I know Jen and I can't pick and choose what he'll be like... But I want him to know discipline and what it is to be the best person he can be. (Even more than that I want him to know Christ and be a believer of course. But that is in the Lord's hands... not mine.)

I don't want him to be like the people I've mentioned here. I want him to have morals and a conscience. I want him to know right from wrong. I want him to know if he gets caught driving drunk and he's 22 I'm still going to kick his butt because there are consequences to what you do. I want him to know you don't talk back to your parents the way Lohan and Spears do. You treat your parents w/ respect no matter what. You treat all people w/ respect. I want him to know that. Sometimes when I'm in public I see people treating an overworked waitress poorly because they gave the wrong drink to the wrong person. I see someone griping and chewing out a guy at the cash register because somebody else screwed up some pricing when the the guy at the register can't change anything. I don't want him to be like that.


Spank your kids. Live a biblical example in front of them. Ground them. Don't let them talk back to their mother(or father). Teach them how to act and treat people all people with respect. Pray for them and love them.

It's worth it. I'm glad my parents did. And I'm glad my wonderful wife and I have the chance to do it now.
