Harassment, Ice Cream and Diamonds

Wheeew!.... It's been 31 days since my last posting here on my blogsite.... I decided to stop for a while because of some disparaging comments that I keep on recieving......

Bullying and harassment are two actions that have a huge impact on how people perceive themselves and the world around them, to be exact I know a lot of people who decided to shut down their own blogsites because of these online bullies. Now tell me do people get pleasures in mocking some other people's lives? It just doesn't make any sense.

OK Summer is really IN! I can really feel the global warming!.... All I wish to do is eat Ice cream inside a refrigerator, good thing I was lucky enough to dip my body into a very cold swimming pool along with my friends!....

While other folks spent the holiday weekend getting the crap beat outta them at shopping malls (or, literally, losing their wigs in pursuit of bargains), I was trying to answer a question that had troubled me for years: what exactly is The Truth About Diamonds? Fortunately, Nicole Richie has "written" a book about this very topic. Nicole's main character in her novel is, guess who? Nicole Richie! Not only does she narrate the story herself, but her main character, Chloe Parker, bears an uncanny resemblance to Ms. Richie.

Let's see: Chloe is the adopted daughter of a famous 80's pop star; she's a major league druggie, with druggie pals who are also the spawn of celebs; she gets offered a chance to star in a reality commercials with another famous no-talent celeb; she ends up in rehab; she cleans up her life; and finally falls in love with a club DJ.

Sound familiar? Granted, the main rule in literature is writing about what you know, but this seems like ego indulgence to the second power. The flip side? If you've ever dreamed of saying "tell me a bedtime story, Nicole," this book is for you.Richie's novel is divided into two sections: before Nicole's (oops, Chloe's) rehab, and after.

Playing an integral part in the story is Paris Hilton (oops, Simone). While Nicole insists that Simone is a "composite character," again, see if you can tell the similarities: they're both famous for being famous; they both use animals as fashion accessories; they both don't wear undies; and they both killed their nannies. (Okay, that last one is something Paris didn't do, I think.)Even though this is Richie's first novel, there are some glaring inaccuracies that her ghostwriter she should have fact checked.

The worst offense? Referring to Bambi as a female, when he's in fact male. (Otherwise, there was more freaky stuff going on in that forest than Bambi's mom getting blown away.)So what exactly is the truth about diamonds? Simple: This book ain't one of 'em. Still, given the choice of reading Richie's book or being trampled to death at shopping malls this was the safer choice. The only thing I injured here were some brain cells, and after watching a full episode of Hana Kimi ^_^ I wasn't worried about them anyhow.
