travis' brain dump

ok, so today just had too much material news wise for me to pass this one up… between Hugo Chavez and Lance Bass I think I’ve got enough material… I’m sure everyone is sick of hearing of Israel bombing the crap out of Lebanon so why don’t I pick on some other things…

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, now there’s a character.

This guy has got to be about the biggest baby on the planet. I mean really. This isn’t some US government backed news agency or anything, this is me… Travis… calling it like it is. I mean c`mon… “We are breaking the U.S. blockade that was aimed at disarming Venezuela,” he says talking about his recent arms deal with Russia for 30 jets and 30 helicopters as well as 100,000 rifles… Seriously, it’s like watching someone walk out in front of a tank armed only with a 9mm screaming to the top of their lungs… ‘ YOU CANT HURT ME, IVE GOT A GUN! ‘ lol

He talks about how hes just setting up to defend his nation against any invasion for his oil and natural gas reserves… ok Hugo, if we wanted em, we’d take em and there isn’t a dang thing you could do about it. We’d blow your little planes and helicopters out of the air, level your country, (because we don’t need surface resources to take your oil) come in and take what we want. Why don’t we do it then? Because you’re of no concern to us you little rat. I mean seriously… look at this guy… he reminds me of a kid who’s missing his helmet.

can we say ‘ duht duht duhhhhhhh! ‘

Now in some deluded way maybe he really thinks he’s doing what’s best for his country but c`mon – making deals with just about everyone who is a critic of US policy is a huge example that he really does need a helmet… Did you ride the shortbus to school? CNN is quoted saying ” Chavez has courted foes and critics of Washington in what he calls an effort to create a global counterbalance to U.S. domination. ” so who’s he gonna call up next Osama? lol I mean come on. Grow a pair and be yourself Hugo, you’ll get more respect that way. At this rate, sometime in the future we may have to do something about him. If he’d just lay back and let things go about on their own, he and his country would be fine. OOOO… mind thought

ok… you know who he reminds me of? guys, girls — i know you’ve been in a relationship like this before. your partner, whoever they were was so very afraid of being hurt that they did all kinds of stupid stuff and ended up driving you nuts until you broke up with them causing them (the party who was so worried) to self-fulfill their own fears. *THATS* who this guy reminds me of. The whiny psycho girl (or guy) who is their own worst enemy and causes themselves the pain and trouble that they so feared themselves. lol *holds a glass up* here’s to ya Hugo, you psycho nut job!

I promised you Lance Bass and I’m gonna deliver… here we go kids…

CNN quotes… “Bass, who formed ‘N Sync with Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, tells People magazine that he didn’t earlier disclose his sexuality because he didn’t want to affect the group’s popularity. “

DUH! Thanks for delivering news that we already knew CNN. The world has known Lance was gay since the first time he stepped on stage.

Nuff said.

Now, before people think this is a gay bash, it is not. It’s a CNN bash and a Lance bash. I happen to think that being a homosexual is not quite “right” but hey, everyone is entitled to make their own choice about what they want and who they want to be. More power to Lance for liking some dudes hairy butt, it’s just not for me.

“Bass says he wondered if his coming out could prompt “the end of ‘N Sync.” He explains, “So I had that weight on me of like, ‘Wow, if I ever let anyone know, it’s bad.’ So I just never did.”

Sorry Lance, they died just as well with or without you coming out of the closet. It’s okay… 🙂

“The thing is, I’m not ashamed — that’s the one thing I want to say,” Bass says. “I don’t think it’s wrong, I’m not devastated going through this. I’m more liberated and happy than I’ve been my whole life. I’m just happy.”

And this is why we call you gay. You’re “JUST SO HAPPY”. Good for you Lance, thanks for finally confirming what we’ve all known for all these years. 🙂

Once again… I’m not bashing homosexuals. To each his own. I’m just laughing with all of my friends who called it so many years ago and laughing at the fact that Lance actually thought it was going to ruin careers that were already on the downward spiral from day one. (Timberlake exception, cause he’s still kickin…. for the moment – and btw, yes i kinda like the beat of his latest song… don’t say a word to me… ANDY.)

 

…. And thats my take on news ….

usually i’m not this combative… but for some reason today really set me off… anyone who knows me knows that i’m a pretty peaceful person but every now and then, even i have a moment that i can’t make it all funny and good and just have to flat slam something… hey, no one’s perfect. *shrug*
