waiting

The wait is almost over. MDNA is one day away. I've abstained from all the sneak peeks and leaks, so I've only heard three songs (Give Me All Your Luvin, Girl Gone Wild, and Masterpiece) and have thirteen surprises awaiting me. The excitement is further fueled by the overwhelmingly positive reviews the album has received. Some tracks I cannot wait to hear are Gang Bang, Falling Free, Love Spent - these appear to be the fan favorites, some even calling these the best tracks she has ever done...On Feb 26, Trayvon Martin was a 17-year old black teenager who went out in his hoodie to buy some candies from a convenient store. He was unarmed except for a bag of Skittles in his pocket. He was considered "suspicious" by 28-year-old George Zimmerman, a neighborhood watch captain who had a handgun on him. George Zimmerman followed Trayvon Martin, a scuffle followed, and Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin to death. Zimmerman said it was self-defense and remains a free man a month later. This would never happen if Trayvon Martin were a white kid and Zimmerman a black man...And then over 50% of Americans oppose the Affordable Care Act which offers universal health coverage in this country. Romney opposes it. Some random guy they interviewed on the local nightly news, who I believe represents a majority of Americans, says that people need to take responsibility for their own welfare, and he is offended that people waiting in line for free clinic services are playing with their fancy phones and gadgets that cost hundreds of dollars and have painted fingernails. God, how dare those damn people try to entertain themselves! If only they don't get their fingernails painted, they could pay for all their healthcare needs. This guy better pray he never finds himself losing his insurance coverage and having to pay for a hospital stay out of his bank account. I'd like to see how many days he can pay for...Sometimes I honestly wish I live in Canada or something...Colton and Alicia on Survivor One World are such ugly human beings. They are despicable, mean bullies. And get this - Colton is gay, and Alicia is a special eds teacher. Holy crap. Worse yet is that their tribe mates just follow their orders like scaredy sheeps. Fortunately this week, due to divine intervention (since God watches reality shows), Colton needed to leave the show to go to the hospital because they diagnosed him with an appendicitis. Now, God needs to finish the job next week and get Alicia's butt out of there...Amazing Race was in Bavaria visiting the Sleeping Beauty castle (Neuschwanstein Castle). Man, I cannot believe something this beautiful really exists in real life and is not just some Hollywood set piece. I want to go there so badly...My favorite American Idol constestant this season is Phillip Phillips. He is awesome awesomes. Colton Dixon and Jessica Sanchez are probably my 2nd and 3rd choices...I finally watched Moneyball, and I actually love it. Even being a Bay Area native, I don't remember what happened that season to the Oakland A's, so the baseball game part of it was exciting and tense. And yeah, I would not admit to being a Brad Pitt fan these days, but he and Jonah Hill were great in this. I would rank this in my top five of last year. I have to watch Ides Of March and Fright Night next...Fiona Apple finally resurfaced at SXSW last week. It's gonna happen soon...Time goes by so slowly for those who wait.
