I don't blog on the weekends, I do have a social life.

Apologies to those followers who thought I would remain sober enough Friday night to actually put up a blog post. It was a rather tough, yet interesting weekend.

My Weekend RADs 
(for those of you who dont know RADs= Random Annoyances of the Day.)
-That fucking Snuggie commercial that they sing to the tune of the fucking Macarena.
-Older brothers and how completely delusional their way of life is.
-People who think a 2 lane road is their own personal 1 lane traveling path.
-Credit card companies and their hidden fees.

Anyways, onto things I stumbled upon this weekend...

Many Americans are truly offended and appalled by the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which was basically put in place to supposedly protect the gays from being harassed by fellow servicemen so if they find out they give you the boot. If they are discovered they are then discharged from the military pending the outcome of the investigation brought against them. Here's my problem with this... being gay isn't illegal so why would you turn away someone that is sacrificing their life for their country? A life is a life no matter which way you look at it. It's absolutely disgusting to think that the military could turn away a potential soldier because of their sexual preferences or kick them out should they be "exposed." Lady Gaga is an advocate for the discharged soldiers and speaks often of how we should repeal DADT. I actually agree with her. Anyways, the real reason I brought this up is because I read an article over the weekend about a judge reinstating a discharged nurse from the Air Force, essentially creating a precedent to aid in getting DADT overturned. Margaret Witt joined the Air Force in 1987 and was suspended in 2004 and investigated for violating DADT. She was discharged in 2007 and fell just one year short of her full rights to a pension. She sued the Air Force and after about a two week trial, was eventually sided with by a federal judge and was reinstated to her position as a nurse for the United States Air Force. Hopefully the rest of the government will come to their senses and overturn the whole thing, and reinstate every person ever discharged for "violating DADT." Click here to read the article I stumbled upon with her story.

Anyways, on to something else I told you I would be keeping tabs on..

Dancing with the Z List Stars!

Sadly, The Hoff is no longer on the show for me to make fun of, but The Situation is. It is completely obvious that he was only asked to be on the show to try and corner some of the Jersey Shore viewers (like myself) into watching. However, he just doesn't have it in him to dance like a leading man and ends up looking like the bitch awkward. Anyways, there were no amazing performances tonight, considering they are all still works in progress. But I will say that Jennifer Grey's performance inspired me. Apparently she had already had a spot on DWTS but when she went to get a medical check to be cleared, she discovered she had cancer and had a plate and a few pins put into her spinal cord at the base of her neck right under the hairline. Crazy to think that a woman who can dance like that would have just went through such an ordeal! Not to  mention still having the balls to come back on the show! Kudos Jen, you made Patrick Swayze proud up there & also made me want to watch Dirty Dancing again. Other observations are Rick Fox & Kurt Warner are true athletes because they dance like they are actually dedicated to beating each other! Florence Henderson is the most mobile 76 year old that I've ever seen. Kyle Massey is pretty cool andd Margaret Cho should stick to comedy. Bristol Palin gave a good performance and her botoxed mother actually showed up this time. She gave some pretty bullshit comments about how proud she was and asked how to do the shimmy?! Like that bitch doesn't know! It was uber pathetic but again, she was almost a vice president so she's bound to be a real fuck up character!

Sidenote:

Since I am a huge basketball fan, I had to check out the new show on VH1 about Denver Nugget (potentially soon to be New York Knick?) Carmelo Anthony and his wedding to MTV reality host Lala Vasquez. The show is called Lala's Full Court Wedding. I have to say, it'e pretty damn cute, and Melo & Lala throws down hundreds of thousands of dollars on their big day. I remember back a few months ago when the actual wedding took place, not a lot of pictures were posted because they were saving it for the show. It was huge, big name celebrities all went, hot ball players, the whole shabang! It's cool to see these extravagant wedding with good couples like Carmelo and Lala. They're good peoples. They also got VH1 its highest rating show in years very long time!



SPEAKING OF BASKETBALL...
ITS OFFICIALLY THE START OF 
BASKETBALL SEASON
THANK THE LORD WE STILL 
HAVE A GOOD TEAM

It basically all started today with Media Day. The team takes pictures and talks about the start of training camp. Because I clearly do not care about any other team except my beloved Boston Celtics, I will probably only bash on other teams from here on out. Unless something cool happens. So, with that said, the Celtics will hold their training camp at Salve Regina in Rhode Island.
Opening Night is t-minus 29 days away. Hold your breath folks, we're almost there.
Prediction: they do get back to the finals pending no unspeakable mishaps.Good Luck Boys.... Here we go!
