You Don't Say

I felt like this was a really big news week.  Lots of fun and interesting things going on.   I love weeks like this.  From time to time, I really ponder why I didn't follow my instinct and become a journalist.  I guess for now, I'll just have to settle for scouring the internets at home while wearing a fedora with a little "Press" sign stuck in the brim.

Cannibal eats man's face off while high on bath salts.  To say I became obsessed with this story would be a gross understatement.  Seriously, what an insane thing to happen!  I had so many questions that I felt the media never answered.  Why did the victim have no pants on?  How hard do you have to bite to pull someone's flesh off? Why are people in Florida so crazy?  Every time a new story was released, I read it.  I discovered through my obsession there were pictures of the victim's face that was no longer in existence floating around the internet.  I, of course, began to search for myself.  I have no idea what is wrong with me.  I'm part of the downfall of society.  Oh well.

I would like to point out that I was aware of the dangers of bath salts due to my addiction to the show Intervention.  Last season featured a young man addicted to bath salts.  It was such an odd episode, I watched it twice.  I was disappointed to learn that bath salts aren't actually used while bathing.  I also learned this week that Grape Ape is not just a cartoon, it's a kind of marijuana.  There is so much about drugs I don't know.

Lil' Wayne not allowed in to Thunder game.  So, this made me laugh.  As Wes Welker tweeted, "Sorry bro, this ain't L.A."  I became very interested in the conspiracy theory of some lady named Trina being the ultimate cause.  Supposedly, this woman used to date Weezy, but then was dating my favorite Thunder star, James Harden.  So then what happened was Trina kissed Lil' Wayne at Mya's album release party (I can't remember if Mya was in the Lady Marmalade video or sang that song with Brandy in the 90s) and then Lil' Wayne professed his love for her at a recent concert.  So then, James Harden had beef with Lil' Wayne, because that was his lady and he wasn't feeling that.  And then Young Carter wanted to come to the Thunder game and Harden was all, "hells no!" so he was denied and said, "Go Spurs!" on Twitter and then we won.  No idea if ANY of this is true, but that was the story I pieced together from the world wide web.

Can we all focus on the fact that if this is true, Trina went from dating someone who was 5'6" to dating someone who is 6'5".  Almost an entire foot!  Talk about an adjustment.  And that's the angle I decided to focus on...

Oklahoma State football players break the law... twice!  Let's all agree it was a rough week for the Cowboys in the PR department.  And Twitter really takes crime reporting to a new level, especially from bloggers.  One blogger has now referred to both incidents as "felonies."  Neither are.  Another blogger wrote a very judgmental blog about Justin Blackmon.  Good for you and all your omniscientness and holiness.  And then there are the actual journalists/reporters who won't give you the good, juicy stuff because, you know, they are aware of libel laws.  It's a virtual circus of information out there.  Sometimes I think it's a shame that life doesn't work like Jeopardy!  You know, where people were rewarded for being right and money was taken away from them for being wrong.  Wouldn't that be great?  Imagine how much less obnoxious social media and sports/talk radio would be if people lost money every time they were wrong.  And people like me, who are always right, would be rich!

In regards to the young men associated with OSU who can't seem to make good decisions, a certain quote from Jim Carey from the movie Liar, Liar comes to mind... "Stop breaking the law!"  As for the rest of you hooligans, keep up the good work, I enjoy following along at home.
