Jon and Hate

2009/06/25

jonandhateI get my news from reading the back of other people’s newspapers so I am  a couple days behind…

Congratulations Jon!

This is a victory for all of mankind over domineering superficial succubusses. The sad thing is the number of people , men and women ,that suffer these relationships silently for their entire lives and then die. Nothing personal Kate, it’s just that you’re a terrible person.

You might say:  Isn’t he the one having an affair and buying himself diamond earrings?

Well at least he paid for his earrings.

Jon deserves some of the blame: for standing by while Kate exploited their children for fame, and to get a free tummy tuck, vacations and houses all the while emasculating him on national television. 

The video doesn’t lie, here are a few of Kate’s tirades:

There is such a thing as driving someone to infidelity.  But despite everything she did to him, the real crime is what she has done to those kids. Both Jon and Kate’s family have spoken out publicly against her, and their concerns for their the health of the children. The girl Maddy, clearly needs therapy and the younger kids will never have normal lives. And the icing on the cake, televising their split, which will haunt those kids forever.

The Climb

2009/06/23

@johncmayer Beautiful. RT @ThisHarvestMoon I like songs that I can immediately relate to, that makes the artist appear “like me” as oppose to “above me”

@johncmayer It’s been happening for the last 100 years. RT @SugarPlumKelly Does this happen even when the artist was not the writer of the song?

@johncmayer I get the feeling that I’m connecting with and learning about who an artist is as a human. Imagine that?!?!

@johncmayer I like songs about getting ready to go out or getting revenge on your ex, but there’s too much of it. When I hear “The Climb”…

@johncmayer I like “The Climb” because it represents a nearly dead species of a pop song that I can actually have an emotional reaction to.
