Yep, that's me: UNboxy Quirky!
But there is one thing I do react to in a very typical and normal way.
Womanizers.
(Don't worry I'm not going to insert Britney Spears' song, because I can't stand it even after only fifteen seconds of it.)
Yesterday, Em at Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit... left a comment that mentioned Mario Lopez.
Ugh.
Oh, I know he's hot, got a terrific body and smile, but I can't find myself overlooking his...you...know...a little thing...called....character?
How boring of me, I know.
This guy dated Ali Landry (the Doritos tennis commercial girl, gorgeous, hot, all that and a bag of chips) for a number of years, cheating on her several times, hence they were "on again," "off again." Well they finally got back together, got engaged, married, and ON THEIR HONEYMOON, he cheated on her again.
And that disgusts me.
Totally.
So everytime I see his smiling face on the television (and his face is plastered all over the tv these days) a pit begins to form in my stomach.
It's a nauseating mix of ire, bitterness, phlegm, two-day old bean burritos, left over acid from my daily ingestions of DDP and plain ole' DISgust.
If he wants to sow his oats and plant his seed EVERYWHERE, so be it. But why did he sweet talk his girlfriend/fiance/wife along? Let her go and do your thing. Don't string her along and then commit this utter betrayal.
Yes, I know Ali was being stupid too, by taking him back every time.
Okay, I guess I'm disgusted by stupid women too. I know, I know, we think we can change a guy. But we can't!
Thank goodness Ali got a clue and one month later? Marriage annulled.
Womanizers like women. Lots and lots and lots of them.
Thank goodness most of us aren't like Mario and Ali. True, they bask in wealth, fame, and fortune and my life is quite pitiful compared to theirs in some ways.
Still, I'll take my "pitiful" existence of a plain, modest home, two crazy, sometimes spoiled boys, a husband who drives me crazy with his driving, but he's a husband who not only knows right from wrong, but lives it too.
Call us pitiful.
I say pitiful is good.
Yeah, I'll take a "P" any day, much better than a big fat "L" on the forehead.
*ROAR*
Did you hear that?
Sounds like a....
Tiger?
tsk tsk
Golf club anyone?
'fore!
B.S. No males or tigers were harmed during the production of this post.

Never knew that about Lopez. So that's what he was up to between Saved By The Bell and Extra. Actually, I could care less...and the less I know the better. I have problems with the whole "celebrity" thing. Who ever said John & Kate, Balloon Boy and Dad and White House party crashers should be our role models, or at the very least compete for our attention?
On the Tiger thing, he's definitely in the rough, for sure. But again, is it anyone else's business? Why are we so eager to salivate over others' misfortunes. We seem to love to build our heros up, worship and adore them and at the first hint of trouble follow the sharks as they circle. We sure live in a whacky world. I'm with you Quirky. Let's focus on our own lives. (Wow, heavy.)
I can't stand cheating pigs (or tigers) either. But I do agree with NoName, it's their business. I'd rather not hear about it. I'm tired of all the stupid, money-grubbing, people who will do anything, no matter what the consequences, to get their 15 minutes of fame. Why can't good people doing good deeds be as exciting as the idiots looking for a quick romp or a quick buck?
Take any average person, make them overnight famous and wealthy, and this is the typical mess you get. Better to have a reasonable, comfortable amount of success that you worked hard to get, lots of friends and strong families, I say, for a well balanced life with some meaning to it.

Yes, we get to see way too much of other people's lives these days. Each person is responsible for their own behavior and the karma/judgment that goes with it.
It is sad to see a man (or woman) commit to a relationship and then continually cheat. It certainly isn't a problem limited to celebrities.
Here's a club. I'll raise you a spade. ;-)
Ohh Quirky I swear I saw you climb off that soap box even though you tried to be discreet. I believe this might be my first Quirky rant and I have to say my dear "Bravo!!"
This is from a woman who's tolerance of infidelity is absolute ZERO.
When my best friend's husband cheated on her and she found out I suggested we pack up all his stuff in garbage bags and placed them outside with a note giving him a suggestion of where to stay - his mistress' address.
Lets just say that was a long evening and they are divorced now - no second chances for her and that was a 20+ year marriage.
I don't know, the media didn't jump all over the fact my ex cheated on me - that's because he wasn't a legend except in his own mind.
@Noname Well, I totally see your point BUT, I do think when you choose to become a celebrity that you should expect extra scrutiny. Not that they shouldn't be entitled some privacy, but hey that's the price you pay for fame. In my NOT so humble opinion! *smile*
@Collette Good deeds are portrayed as boring and less important. Look at the media, on a "slow" news day you get the feel good stories. You don't see them ranting and raving about good deeds on other news days. Sad, but true.
@TheOldSilly Success or not, morals are still morals. Sorry, but cheating is a very black/white issue for me. Don't commit if you can't keep your pants on (because both men and women can be guilty). Again, not saying some couples can't work it out, but dang, it's a nasty nasty thing to have to work out. My heart goes out to those who have to deal with this, celebrity or not. But Tiger was stupid. He is under EXTRA scrutiny it's part of the million dollar salary he gets. Is it fair? No. But hey, life isn't fair!
@Reffie I'll see your spade and raise you a diamond! *smile*
@Joanne I'm truly sorry for your friend. Glad she moved on.
@MeMe Where is he? I'll start a campaign! Right here on my blog! All ten of you will be in the know! *smile* (And I'm sorry Sweetie! Nobody deserves to be cheated on! Get a divorce FIRST before porking others!) Wow, did I just really write that? hee hee?
I was in Barnes and Noble, nerd capitol of the world, doing some nerd studying myself and right by my section was the diet and health section. He has this huge color book for like 50 bucks and its all full photo glossy pics on him and getting "ripped". no shit- its part of your job to eat green and work out all day. After I quickly placed it down, I had to check out the half naked girl typical fitness book.
Anyway - bring back Sreech
I'm actually really super sick and tired of hearing about all the Marios and Tigers and Senators who cheat on their wives and girlfriends. I've been married almost 30 years now, and I've never cheated on my wife. Sure, it helps to be dirt poor and butt ugly, but still....don't these guys have any self control at all? Marriages last for years. Orgasms maybe 30 seconds (although it's a good 30 seconds). Is is really worth it? I don't think so.
They should transport all these philanderers to some isolated island, where they would be forced to deal with each other for the rest of their lives. :o)
True confessions... my ex cheated on me... then messed with my mind to convince me his female acquaintances were "just friends". Yeah, I'm an idiot! I shall go drown my sorrows in Dr Pepper now!
Oh, yeah... and Mario sucks!
Yeah, once a cheater always a cheater I suppose.
Tiger's a shock, though, really. He seemed to be above all that drama.
Guess not.
Here's the Tiger joke I invented:
"Well, looks like Tiger got caught using his putter on the wrong hole."
Or another . . .
"Just as we've always suspected . . . his putting's better than his driving."
