Conversation and Hennessy

I was watching the season finale of House last night (which was one of the Grossest episodes I have ever seen. I don’t like seeing exploding eyeballs) and the less than average looking patient had a very pretty wife. House made a comment about how unusual that was. He said “3’s marry 3’s, 8’s marry 8’s, but 3’s and 8’s don’t usually marry each other”. Or something like that. Which I think is true for the most part, but there are exceptions, which totally boggle the mind. Oh wait – am I being superficial? Hmmmm….who isn’t? Now on with the show.

Personally, I think Matthew and I are even. I will not be so vain as to try and assign my own number, but if we are 3’s then we are both 3’s. And if we are 8’s (9’s did you say?) then we are both 8’s. We look very much alike anyway and I think we are equal on the “hot or not” scale. Whatever it may be.

But now…lemme tell ya. I have seen some odd pairings. I have an acquaintance who I consider a pretty girl. I recently saw her husband for the first time and it was quite disturbing. Scary is more like it. Now that I think about it, most of the examples I was going to give are pretty girls with ugly guys. Is that the way it works? I guess maybe girls can see beyond and behind the exterior and appreciate the heart of gold that these ugly guys probably have. Guys are much more shallow I guess. The good looking guys don’t want the homely girls and the ugly guys know that they can get the hot girls who are sick of the hot guy’s attitudes. To be fair, I do know a few average to below-average looking girls (I’m trying to avoid saying “ugly girls” because it will make me sound like a hateful bitch) who have managed to marry or have happy long term relationships. But each with ugly guys. So where are these hot guys? Who are they marrying? What are they doing? I guess marrying the hot girls as "trophy wives" and treating them like crap. I just don't get it.

I know what you are thinking now. That I have absolutely no room to speak of someone else’s attractiveness. Maybe I don’t, but I did it anyway.

What else, what else?

Have you heard the Eminem song called “Shake That”? I’m sorry, but that is comedic genius. He may just be a white boy from da ‘hood, but nobody can touch him lyrically. I read somewhere that he failed the 9th grade 3 times before finally dropping out of school. But the boy is far from stupid. Yeah he writes dirty, misogynistic, homophobic songs, but he’s only writing what most people are afraid to say. It’s an act and he’s brilliant. And he did manage to come up with an inspirational song “Lose Yourself”, which along with “8 Mile” gave me newfound admiration for him.

Don’t know why I just went on that Eminem rant. “Shake That” was playing on my computer and it just made me think. Think about writing. Several people have told me that I should pursue it professionally, but I know I need to work on it. It has been a long time since I was in school and while my thoughts are there, I have a hard time putting them on paper and having them be grammatically correct.

Time for work now. Dreading dreading dreading. I hate this feeling! Gotta do something about it.

Oh and by the way. Taylor better win American Idol tonight. I voted for him 4 times.
