Una Chica

Small minded people again (see previous post)

Bette Midler was on David Letterman last night. Her and Dave were talking about how other people manipulate people and their emotions. She had gone through a situation like this on The Roseanne Show with Barry Manilow. I must say that while the whole situation started because Bette hurt some friends feelings on the show, she was sorry for it. That counts. Her reaction to a surprise appearance of many friends and family members caused some reactions on their parts as well. As a result, Barry Manilow didn't want anything to do with Bette after this incident and she was hurt by his reaction, in turn. Which is why Dave expressed his curiosity about accountability. I'm going to quote what he and she said, respectively. I totally agree with this. While it is irritating... what can you do? Nothing. Nada. Don't let it bother you.

David Letterman
"At what point can we stop being responsible for the manipulations of others? When does that ever stop?"

Bette Midler
"I don't think it ever does stop. But you have to find a way to sort of get around it and not make it bother you so much."

'nuff said.

Rant

People who have nothing better to do than make other people's lives miserable make me sick. These people know who they are. They cannot ignore the truth. While their lives are pitifully small and the box they live in probably has no fresh air for them to breathe, maybe this is all they feel they amount to. Nasty attitudes. Spiteful words. What right do they have to attack other people and their beliefs? A debate is fine. I, myself, enjoy a good debate. But to attack out of spite when your own words are so small as to be insignificant because of the lack of quality in them is just beyond all. I can't stand these people. I'm no better than anyone else. But I do not use my words to hurt other people for the sheer joy of it. That wouldn't give me any joy, and obviously it wouldn't give them any joy, so what would be the point? I'm not saying that joy has to come out of peoples mouths every time they open them, but I do believe some substance should be behind the words themselves. Some meaning. Okay, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there is some void they are filling when they utter such blubber, but really. Can't you try to find fulfillment in some other way? A way that has meaning and quality. I like to think I'm better than that kind of close-mindedness. Not superior or anything like that. While I tend to speak out of turn and blab as it's part of my nature, I try to temper what comes out of my mouth when speaking to or about other people. I'm a talker. No getting around it. But my words don't have to hurt others.

Okay, that's just my . I'm done now.

I swear I must be the only person alive who hates thongs (underwear)! I absolutely cannot stand them. I own a few pairs, but very seldom do I actually wear the damn things. Hubby wishes I would don them more often, but that is not happening. My butt wasn't made to have something sliding and grinding away right up my ass cheeks 24/7! Oh my, that sounded bad, but you know what I mean! I'll stick to the tried and true form of butt huggers -> standard panties are just my style, tyvm.
