So this is me. Yeah, I know. Got my hair in a ponytail. I’m growing it out for this wedding in October. As soon as I get back, it’s gone. I love my hair short now. I don’t have to fool with it. Randy loves it long…for his own reasons…hmm, hmm. No comment on that. So here I am:
I guess I don’t have to tell you I’m pretty disappointed with my look right now. The photo is a little blurry, but it’s what I normally look like.
Now, I look fairly harmless, right? You would think so. The funny thing is sometimes I think I have the potential to just be completely nutso. I have all these ideas that people just don’t always agree with. My opinions are strong on several subjects. I am no milquetoast. I will tell you how I feel about things whether you think I’m right or not. Not my problem anyway!
For instance, the hubby and I were having a discussion the other day about the stupidity of the O J thing. Now I am no fan of O J in the least. But it was awful convenient that the whole event was on audiotape, don’t you think? I don’t know about you, but I don’t carry around a tape recorder unless I think someone is going to do something spectacular (in other words, never). So we were watching Nancy Grace the other night and she was “discussing” the O J incident with “expert” commentary. People were calling in and asking questions. There are some intelligent people out there (I found this interesting). One woman called in with the question, “If the alleged victims are discovered to have entrapped Mr. Simpson, will they be charged? And, also, if the items in question are determined to be stolen, will charges be brought against the individuals?” Now, I thought these were interesting questions because it brings a different viewpoint as well as the possibility for reasonable doubt. Ms. Grace then posed the question to her “expert” this way: “Why does everyone think O J is being set up?” That is not what the woman was saying and beyond that, the “expert” never actually heard the intelligent questions so they were never answered. I always thought Nancy Grace was a semi-intelligent woman, but that just blew it for me. How prejudicial could you possibly be? What a condescending thing to do?!
Okay, so there is my soapbox. I will continue on another day…
