paris went to jail - but not before being totally publicly humiliated (who knew that was even possible) at the mtv movie awards by sarah silverman; britney is walking around with her unsightly ass hanging out (don’t even get me started on the plugs); 11-year-olds are shooting pet pigs and bragging about it… i think my blog is gonna blow up!

it’s a good thing i learned a new word to describe all these things, as well as why i watch LOST, and sometimes Dog the Bounty Hunter, and god help me sometimes even Criss Angel. the official classification is now, “IRRITAINMENT” !
i don’t think i need to expound on that, i’ll just let it sink in so you too can see the beauty of the absolute appropriateness of it.
somehow having a label for it makes me feel better. plus the fact that somebody coined a term lets me know that i’m not the only one who has some sick need to subject myself to the barrage of infuriating information on the internet, and the endless parade of idiots on my television, which serves absolutely no purpose other than to IRRITATE (yet simultaneously entertain) ME !!
i blame the state of new jersey. the 5.5 years i spent there did apparently irrepairable damage to my psyche, and i no longer know how to function without a daily dose of irritation.
speaking of new jersey.. the next to last episode of The Sopranos… holy shit!! as soon as the credits rolled i actually said something i never thought i’d say, “i am so glad this show is going to be over because i really can’t take much more.” and i meant it in the best way possible, as in i can’t take the intensity. wow! first the writing, as i have mentioned a few hundred times, is amazzzing! i don’t appreciate being in dr. melfi’s shoes, and being slapped in the face with the reality that these characters have none of the redeeming qualities that we had fabricated in our hearts and minds and been clinging to for the last 6 seasons. at the same time i do appreciate it because it certainly makes it easier to let go and move on and be ok with the fact that this CANNOT possibly end well. i don’t even want it to. then again i am a little terrified about the last episode and my blood pressure. i would think it has to be more than an hour long, but if it is i think i’ll have a stroke!
