Clearly, I do not have enough to do today!

Anyway, there was a discussion about Britney Spears in the office this morning. What went wrong at the VMAs? What went right? Is her career over?

I'm going to expand on an idea that I read on some LiveJournal entry earlier in the week.

Someone had posted a story saying that Simon Cowell and the other judges from American Idol would gladly help make her a superstar again.

As much as I despise "reality" television, I think they may have something there. The climate is certainly right, and if she could learn to laugh at herself once in a while this could be the big promotion she needs! After all, look at what The Simple Life did for Paris and Nicole!

They could start off with putting her on some diet, with her sneaking out to get burgers and fries, have her hit the gym, dance lessons, time management seminars, blah, blah, blah.

The possibilities are endless. Hell, they could probably make a show featuring Lindsay in rehab and it would be huge.

It's amazing what people would watch, but I might actually watch a show dedicated to the rebuilding of a superstar. A big part of that is because that lifestyle currently fascinates me.

I think a big step, which I've already mentioned, is that Britney needs to have a laugh and quit taking herself quite so seriously.

While I like a couple of her songs, I have to say I'm not a huge fan. From what I've seen in interviews, etc., I don't think she's the kind of person I'd like.

Perhaps that is part of Paris's draw on me. She gets the "joke" of being in the constant spotlight, and most of the time she just has a laugh and doesn't let it get to her. That's very big... we can all use a little of that!

Anyway, babe... have your people give my people a call! =^)

Last night, I made an observation. Actually, I'd been observing for several months now that hot girls don't wear Levi's.

In fact, every hot girl I've talked to lately has been wearing a pair of designer jeans. A couple have even been complimented on them.

I don't know if I'm becoming shallow with my fashion and looks obsession, but I don't really think it's going to matter at this stage of my life. So, I made a conscious decision to be shallow.

I'm not going to date anyone who isn't at least a seven. To put this in perspective, I would classify "C" as a 5.

But, she wore Levi's. For that I should dock her to a 4.5. However, in my defense, in that small town in the great white north I was overwhelmed by this sense of scarcity. I held onto her, because I thought she was the best I could do. At the time it was better than being alone.

Of course, I'll continue talking to everyone... that's all part of the game.

So, why did I pick seven? Why not just be a total ass and say nine or ten?

Because, and this will sound like a total ass, I haven't seen a ten around here... and there are very, very few nines.

Until I make that migration to Colorado, Arizona, or the Vegas... I'll settle for less. =^P

So, I will apologize to all of the "okay" looking girls for the opportunities they will be missing with me... but I'm sure we can still be friends. I'm not above being friends!

Besides, one can argue that there is no such thing as an ugly girl... only a lazy one. Anyone can make herself over into a nine or ten.

That's just who I am and how I feel. I don't make any apologies for it.

From Wikipedia:

Behind the smiles and charm, rats can be terribly obstinate and controlling, insisting on having things their way no matter what the cost. These people tend to have an immense control of their emotions, which they may use as a tool to manipulate and exploit another person, both emotionally and mentally. Rats are masters of mind games and can be very dangerous, calculating and downright cruel if the need arises. Quick-tempered and aggressive, they will not think twice about exacting revenge on those that hurt them in any way. Rats need to learn to relax sometimes, as they can be quite obsessed with detail, intolerant and strict, demanding order, obedience, and perfection.
