we can be heroes

Finally watched Perks Of Being A Wallflower - it's gotta one of the best from 2012.  I actually liked it more than the book.  And Logan Lerman is so good in this - makes me wanna rent Percy Jackson (ha)...Oh Oscar Pistorius - you were my Olympic hero.  I know nothing about the inner strength it takes to go from a boy with no legs to an Olympian track star.  All I know is that it's deeply inspiring and beyond my comprehension.  And then I know nothing about what it takes to, allegedly, fatally shoot your girlfriend four times.  All I know is that it's deeply monstrous and also beyond my comprehension.  I understand one should never expect too much from heroes, and really you still accomplished what you accomplished.  It's just that I needed you to be golden.  The lesson is, don't believe in idols.  And just believe in yourself...Christopher Dorner, ex-L.A. cop and fugitive, died in a shootout in a San Bernardino mountain cabin.  It's just like a crazy-ass movie - with a manifesto that name-checked Charlie Sheen and everything...I am not a fan of Rihanna but I love the song she did at the Grammy's - Stay.  And then I found out that it's written by Emeli Sande - no wonder.  She should've kept it for herself...The Niners lost to the Ravens in the last Superbowl - the Superbowl that I try to imagine didn't happen at all because the Pats missed it by one game.  I pray to the football gods that the Pats re-sign Wes Welker and the Gronk stop being such a lunkhead, but then again the football gods, like the other gods, rarely answer to me...Amazing Race is back this Sunday!!!...I am rewatching Veronica Mars.  I realized that post-popular, down-and-out Veronica Mars is so much sassier and smarter and tougher and cooler than popular, long-haired Veronica Mars.  Let that be a lesson to them young people out there - being unpopular builds character and makes you scrappier and more resourceful and ultimately more kick-ass, so don't try too hard to be popular...I am really enjoying Bunheads on ABC Family - yes. it's Gilmore Girls redux, but damn I miss Gilmore Girls!...Glee is like the worst show I watch.  I still watch it just because it's there.  But I've developed a real hate for Rachel and Kurt and most of the characters.  Good god the writers for this show suck.  They make every character behave in the most nonsensical way and do the most absurd things...Lady Gaga hurt her hip or something and had to cancel her tour.  Haha - I don't mean to laugh at anybody's misfortune, but for all her little monsters who make fun of Madonna being geriatric, I am honestly relishing in this turn of events.  Can you imagine the venom they would be spewing if it were Madonna who hurt her hip on tour?...Mark Kamins, the DJ who gave Madonna her first break, died of a massive heart attack.  Without him, we probably wouldn't have the Madonna we know today.  RIP, Mark Kamins, and thank you...It's Chinese New Year - year of the snake.  Why anyone would pick a snake is not clear to me.  Why not year of the butterfly, or elephant, or dove? Snakes are so slithery and evil.  Regardless I am trying to stay out of harm's way for the next few weeks.  Last year I had a car accident during Chinese New Year's week and then a dark cloud followed me all year long.  This year no cloud will follow me.
