All About Sex and Body Image

Oooh la la, this blog entry will be about body image and the most taboo of topics-SEX!
Why is most if not all of American culture so concerned with body image? Huh?
I mean, Hollywood has this image that everyone should be size 0 for females, which causes people to turn to eating disorders, whether it's bulimic or anorexic. They turn to plastic surgery-Botox, liposuction, breast implants & lip enhancement-makes them look fake. Why can't they age naturally? People also want to look perfect-exercising in a gym (IMHO, gyms aren't beneficiary b/c nobody gets fresh air; they just stay inside exercising. Granted they lose calories. But don't exercise machines run on electricity? So I thought we trying to save the planet, not ourselves. If you need exercise and wanna save the planet, go to the great outdoors and take a hike (I mean esercise-wise, not get lost) or  take a walk or go for a jog in the park. In short, you can just commune with nature.
sex, Sex, SEX!!! All the TV shows I watch lately.... and all the 80s and 90s movies had a theme: sex! Kids who watched those movies condone those actions they see on TV and movies b/c the actors/actresses are their 'role models.' Some 'role models.' Isn't a role model supposedly set a good example, not a bad one? Movies from the 80s and 90s show kids not only into sex but also high (on life!) and on drugs. Remember the Ashton Kutcher movie Dude, Where's My Car? and Dazed and Confused among others. Now life imitate art b/c a lot of celebs are totally into drugs w/ no consequences of their actions. They've lot of stoner movies lately. Remember the scandals of Kate Moss and Amy Winehouse? Young Hollywood are the kids' idols, which they shouldn't be b/c they set a bad example. The celebs doing drugs make it okay for our kids to do drugs, get high, act stupid. Acting stupid may include losing your virginity w/o knowing what you're doing because the liquor or drugs are controlling you.
A lot of teen shows (excluding Disney Channel) I watch are about sex:getting laid, getting drunk, getting hung over. Why the focus on teen sex? There is rise in teen pregnancies, as a result of teen sex. In the teen dramedy, Secret Life of American Teenager, at the beginning of the show, one girl is a slut (why is it when a girl sleeps around they're called a slut, whore, or easy or other derogatory names, but when a boy sleeps around it is okay? So much for equality.), another guy got another girl pregnant, but she doesn't even like him; it was only a one-night stand. There's also a Christian girl who is tempted by sex. First it starts with kissing, then it ends up in sex.  The kids are not the only ones w/ problems: the parents have their own problems. which include infidelity and mayhem. (okay, maybe not mayhem but infidelity for sure)
Why is sex besides violence a major theme in the mass media?
Maybe it shows how much one love each other
Or deceive each other (infidelity, not telling the person they're with that they have STDs)
Most people don't do sex for love although I believe it should be reserved for love
Some people do it because of peer pressure
Or because of the need to do it for money (ie.:prostitution)
People should never misuse sex-it's a dangerous weapon
It should only be used in the name of love

Love forever and evermore

Fighter

The Fighter may be a good movie in some people's opinion, but not mine.
This movie helps me remember why I hate boxing. Once upon a time I enjoy watching boxing. Watching this boxing movie helps me remember why I hate boxing-because of the blood, sweat & gore but there is glory.
Maybe it won all those Oscars for the violence (during the boxing scenes) or quite possibly it won 'cuz it had so much profanity. Nowadays,the more profanity you have in your movie, the more likely you'll win an Oscar.
As for the violent boxing scenes, it looks damn real to me-all that blood gushing out his face, but I know for a fact that ain't real. Hollywood can be so realistic sometimes.
The Fighter is based on a true story about two brothers who want to be boxing champs. While the older one's a trainer, the younger one's the champ.


As for me, I much prefer wrestling, I know it's like boxing b/c it's violent, but hand-on-hand combat. It's much more barbaric. It's no holds bar.There's no blood, sweat, or gore like boxing. You can do whatever you damn well pls. thank you very much. I just love it when the ladies, ahem, tomboys take on each other. In wrestling, there are absolutely no rules.
Wrestling may be barbaric, but it beats being injured in boxing. But still you get injured in any sport even wrestling. Wrestling may be barbaric, but at least I don't have to be there to watch it: it's a spectator sport like boxing.

Stay safe in life

The Future is Here: Television will be Obsolete

With all the TV shows now online, who needs TV?
I think in a coupla of years it'll be obsolete. People'll prefer online TV over the real thing. Now they can watch shows they missed and videos (MTV or Vh1 doesn't show videos anymore; they show reality shows more often than not.) People can watch old shows on TV but there's a wider selection online.
So more power to the internet! Thank the internet gods!

Justin Bieber's Pray

JB's latest single's video Pray is so very touching. It shows him visiting the wounded soldiers and the sick children. He gave those soldiers and kids a little hope. As the title of his docu,mentary of his movie goes, Neve Say Never, meaning never give up, never give up trying. Preserverance (like the Giants) is the key. I know a lot of celebs do charity work-use your celebrity status for good not for evil (like Paris Hilton & Lindsay Lohan) Well good for him. Never give up. Never give up hope in this human rat race.

Time Machine

If I could go back in time to any decade, it would be the 80s cuz the 80s rock.
When I get there, I wish time would stay still-stay frozen forever
Those were the happiest days of my life-
Not only did pop culture rock, but we kids were with our (maternal) grandparents-God I miss hanging out with you, Grams
Music-Madonna, Expose, Cover Girls, Stacy Q, Bangles, Michael & Janet Jackson, Joan Jett, Bobby Brown, Pebbles, Mariah Carey, Tiffany, Debbie Gibson, Cyndi Lauper, New Edition you name I love it!
TV-A-Team, Mission Impossible, Punky Brewster-Punky Power!, Silver Spoons, Buck Rogers, Airwolf,  Diff'rent Strokes,  Facts of Life, Double Trouble I watched all action shows w/ Grams and all sitcoms by myself

Fall from Grace of La Linds (Lindsay Lohan)

Our girl, Lindsay Lohan, has outdone herself this time. Charged with felony grand theft for stealing a necklace (she said they loaned it to her, can't you believe? Like anyone would ever loan anything to Lindsay), she can go no further. How lo can she go? ( No pun intended.)
And she's just got thru rehab-which help little for her cause. She didn't even try to rid of her bad vibes (clubbing till the wee hours of the morn, taking drugs to get the hi she needed cuz one movie failed after another-I got thing to say to you, girl. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER. and also hanging out w/ the wrong crowd-like this crowd that cause her to steal.)
She used to have such great potential to be a rising star in Hollywood-yup, that place of glitz n' glamour, but it all came crashing down when she became too famous-her ego inflated, got overwhelmed w/ the glamour-she went clubbing-and it went in over her head, couldn't handle to the fame. She used to be Hilary Duff's rival. Whereas Hilary Duff could handle the fame, Lindsay couldn't. :(
