It's funny how people make excuses for actions done by people they love and will criticize those they don't like for the same act. For example I was checking out a website that would remain nameless and someone mentioned that they are shock the individual the website is dedication to smoked, and quickly others came to the smoker's defense and started making excuses like ' the cigaratte the person smoked does not smell.. Whatever, the funny part is the smoker on many occasion had tried quitting and finally did, and that should have given some clue in the commenters head. These people would make great support system for people trying to quit an addiction-not.
Another conversation I found interesting was regarding an article written by someone who described how they thought the person had plastic surgery even thought the person did admit to at least doing one thing. People went on to attack of the writer of the article because how dear he/she mention it.. No one mentioned how the writer said that they thought the person was beautiful and did not need any work done.
People get over it, stop making it about you, its okay if you don't approve of plastic surgery for cosmectic purposes, but please mind your business. Attacking the writer and the magazine just says something about you for checking out the magazine in the first place and butting into other people's business.

"The year of the Magical Thinking"
You've done it or you will do it, it will happen to you, I love that line from the play it so true. Monday I went to see Vanessa Redgrave in a benefit performance of the ' The year of the Magical Thinking" for UNICEF.
Vanessa played Joan Didion in the play. The play was about the thoughts that ran through Joan's mind and the things she did or did not do they year her husband died and her daughter was ill.
The audience was mesmerized by the play and by the laughter coming from the audience I could tell most have done some magical thinking of their own and could relate to Joan, i such could.
When someone close to us die before finally accepting that they are gone, so many thoughts go through our head, we wonder like Joan Did if we could have prevented the death, if the person knew they were dying, if they were at a different location would they still be alive.. So many thoughts.. At the end of the play I was glad Joan made it and finally was able to write about it. She is a great writer. Hopefully Vanessa will get there as well.

Trying to get away with stuff you know is wrong.
Why are some people always trying to get away with stuff they know is wrong. Everywhere i look these days there are people trying to get away with doing less for more, exagerating things to make it seem more urgent than it acutally is, and disregarding rules even if it means throwing someone else under the bus without batting an eye. I guess these are they people who live in the center of the sun because the probably see the world revolving around them.
These are the same people who you never see volunteer or raise their hands to help out anyone but are the first to stretch out their hands when they see someone else giving away free things and if the miss the day free stuff is being giving out, they will be the ones complaining.
The sad thing is this behavior will last as long as humans do because most of these people have kids, or have some sought of influence over someone else's children and eventually these behavior gets passed on.
