Here's what I Love About The Grammys: Absolutely Nothing



Yo, Musical Artist- I like your music, ok? I know you sing and I acknowledge the fact that you are talented. However, I kind of don't care who you owe your success to or what you were wearing at the Grammy's or what foreign country you are about to fly off to. I think we pay way to much attention to celebs. And I truly don't see the point in having a big party and handing out big shiny awards showing these people how amazing they are. Like, couldn't we just send them a nice little card in the mail? Maybe include a gift certificate for Olive Garden to make them feel special? And perhaps attach a note informing them nobody cares? And that the only person they have to thank is God for giving them the abilities they have and their parents for making them exist? And that if they really want to make a difference and provide help for Haiti that they should just sell one of the $500,000 cars sitting in their driveway and donate the proceeds from that? (Yes I do in fact know they're doing a wonderful thing and I support it 100% and anyone who knows me know I kid I kid.

Whatever. The bridge is built and I'm getting over it.

But on a more sober note, look at these photos and try not to feel sadness for these people... it just makes my chest hurt! If I was in the position to adopt a little Haitian child- I would adopt 10. It makes me soo thankful for how good I have things!!
