I haven't written in a while but I was motivated to take action after watching the Golden Globe awards. Rickey Gervais, the host, came out and spoke truth to the possible recipients of said award. His advice fell on deaf ears. I HAVE NEVER, been so disgusted by the nonsense that was spewed by what the so called celebrities had to say. Ricky: Thank whatever God you pray to, leave your political views aside, and say thank you and get the fuck off the stage. Simple right? Nope. I was beside myself watching actor after actor get on stage and start spouting their irrelevant, nonsensical views on topics they know nothing about.
When did the Golden Globes become a platform for ACTORS to express their social/political views? Firstly, who the fuck are they to weigh in on anything that has to do with real life? They are paid to assume an identity that is not their own. So why on earth would anybody in their right mind listen to anything they have to say with the exception of eating popcorn and sipping a Coke? Stay in your lane you pompous arrogant assholes. I don't care how you feel about abortion, global military involvement, gay marriage etc. You are an actor! You are only relevant on TMZ and award shows. What are we even awarding you for in the first place? Your the best at not being a real human being, congratulations.
Secondly, as I was watching the show my irritation grew and grew and I forgot the fact that I am voluntarily watching. Hmm. Change the channel George, my brain told me. But like a car crash, its hard to look away. Guilty as charged. The Golden Globe awards is not and nor should it be a platform for over paid pretty people to vomit their thoughts and views to a global audience. I'd rather you say thank you and went on your way. It is sad that people make a living taking photos of jackasses/ celebrities. Where is the world headed...? Hell in a hand basket?
Just kidding, I don't believe in a Hell. However, Joaquin Phoenix, Brad Pitt, Renee Zelweger, Charlize Theron, shut the fuck up and stay in your lane. Our (I use the term OUR very loosely) attention span/ability to concentrate on anything longer than 140 characters has dwindled significantly. Thank you Donald.
But I digress. Or do I? To be honest, I don't even know what the word means. So before I lose you, remember this..... The moment you feel like Tom Cruise, or whoever else makes a coherent point on any issue or topic.... Politely laugh hysterically.
