Back From Outer Space

Back From Outer Space
Sorry about the ridiculous delay between posts. I actually have a legitimate excuse. God apparently has a sense of humor because He has charged me with the responsibility of bringing life into this world. My husband and I are expecting identical twin daughters at the end of August, but they're bored in my womb and have other ideas. Thus, I am in the hospital for an extended stay (it's already been 2 1/2 weeks) connected to an IV machine that continuously feeds me anti-labor drugs. It's been pleasant yet a bit disconcerting. While most of the men and women health workers at this establishment are competent and friendly, there are a few that make you wonder whose dick is being sucked to keep them in place. I realize there is a shortage of health care workers in this country but some of these people on the other side of the needle shouldn't be given the responsibility of taking care of a pet rock, much less a living breathing person.

Anyway, what precipitated my return to this blog was of course... (you guessed it) my need to comment on Kobe Bryant getting arrested for sexual assault. You all might think I have no conscience but I can assure you I do, so I only laughed for a little bit. I laughed because as much as I dislike him, I can't really see Kobe as a Sexual Misconductor so most likely he was trying to be smooth and instead got slapped with an arrest warrant. I hate to be judgmental (actually we all do it whether or not we admit it so who cares) but when Mike Tyson was arrested for rape, the world kind of nodded and said "I knew it" because of his temperament and past actions. Kobe hasn't ever done anything rapist-like in the public eye so I'm more inclined to believe that maybe he just stepped over a line because he was trying to be a pimp. Who knows. Unseal those damn court documents. I hate judges that do shit like that. Don't they know we're all dying of curiosity here? Privacy schmivacy. To be honest though, if it turns out this is some publicity scam initiated by some triflin ho, even I would feel bad. I like to see Kobe crying on the court but wouldn't want to see him crying IN court. I'd say this was a moment for our favorite Kobe gif but it's kind of mean to kick a man while he's down (*stifling a giggle*)

On a side note, I read in the article that Kobe had named his daughter Natalia Diamante. Okay. I think I'll name one of my daughters Ashley Jetta. Or maybe Francesca Camry.

Okay Latrell Sprewell is beyond ridiculous now, suing the Post for libel. My favorite sentence is...

"In the suit, Sprewell's lawyers alleged that the articles were "published with actual malice, exposing Mr. Sprewell to public ridicule, contempt, aversion, disgrace, and induced evil opinions of him in the minds of right-thinking persons."

As if Latrell Sprewell had a great reputation to begin with, He doesn't need help looking ridiculous, he does fine all by himself.
