“The influence of institutionalised religion on government is vast. So religion then begins to affect social values and that in turn affects self-esteem, bullying in school, teen suicides, all those things. … If you were to ask me what I want to do, I don’t want to be a celebrity, I want to make a difference. I never wanted to look pretty on stage and sing about something we’ve all heard about before. I’d much rather write a song called Judas and talk about betrayal and forgiveness and feeling misunderstood, and talk to the fans and figure out what it is society needs. If I can be a leader, I will. Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.”
I’m gonna go ahead here and say (probably for the first time in my life) that I sort of agree with where Gaga‘s going with this one. Institutionalized religion – for the most part – has to go. I’m not going to sit here and preach, because not only is it not the right forum, but it’s not the right type of topic for the site, but I’m a Jesus fan myself. And I will say that Jesus the man – if he were alive today – would probably be aghast at what goes on in various aspects of organized ‘religion.’ Historically, Jesus fought against The Man, fought against streamlined, tight-knit, aristocratic religious groups, and fought against the crap that a lot of narrow-minded people tried to pull on their world neighbors. So … put that in your pipe and smoke it, I guess.
Do you guys know who this is? Oh man. I almost herniated something when I came across girlfriend’s pictures here, because they’re so painfully hilarious that my old quasi-smoker’s-cough-in-remiss kicked back in, even though I quit smoking almost a year ago.
A few hints:
This chick’s sister is way classier than she could ever hope to be, even if she HAS had some personal issues in the past that involved rehab.
This chick has the same initials as her sibling and that’s probably about the only thing they share.
Also? If someone happens to run into this bitch out in the streets, could you slap her face for me? I mean, did no one ever tell her that putting such dirty things in your mouth is just totally nasty? Ugh, can you even imagine where that shit’s been?
No, they really didn’t, but until I put my glasses on this morning to get a closer look, it looked like girlfriend’s arms went on hiatus. THEY’RE SO SMALL. They sort of remind me of a little bird that fell out of my maple tree the other day. He fell a long way (he died soon thereafter) and his tiny spindly feet sort of looked like LeAnn Rimes’ arms.
And speaking of LeAnn, she’s actually doing a concert ten minutes down the road from me next month. It’s at a place called the Freeman Stage at Bayside. It’s a really, really small venue, guys. And at first, I heard the tickets were free, and I kind of laughed. But then I heard my ‘free ticket’ information was wrong, and that the tickets ACTUALLY range from 40 to 75 bucks a pop. Then I laughed even harder. I considered trying to get in (for free, of course) and trying to see if I could get close enough to talk to her and I realized, duh, of course I could. She’s going to attract a crowd of about a hundred people maybe. MAYBE. I just don’t feel like listening to her bellyaching about how hard it’s been to be the other woman and how amazing it is to be so emaciated svelte. I also wouldn’t be able to stand sitting through two hours of music knowing that Eddie Cibrian‘s pinched face was lurking somewhere backstage, perched on a darkened corner on a stool while sexting some random blonde he met earlier in the week.
The photos are courtesy of Mildred’s MySpace page (which is labeled ‘Patty’), and it states that Mildred is 47 and living in Calabasas, CA. She has the obligatory one friend (TOM FTW!) but oddly enough, most of her photos have close to 10k to 30k views. Coincidence? I think not.
I would like to tell you that the term “retard” is very offensive to me. I am not offended because I ASSUME it would offend someone who has mental retardation. I am offened on how the word came to...
I am not offended that Rosie has a fear or anxiety of LP. I feel that when someone knows very little about things and or people they tend to be anxious. Think about it if you had never been around someone...
