Being a devious evil genius, I downloaded both Dreamweaver 4 and Fireworks MX off of Kazaa. Mwahahaha! But these are the most confusing programs I've ever seen! Holy smokes. Luckily, I've saved probably $600 by getting them for free so I don't feel too bad about that. Who can help me with these things? I thought HTML was confusing, but this is worse. I'm just too lazy to read the instructions, but even when I do I only end up more confused. *sigh*

A lot of television shows suffer from what I call "Three's Company Syndrome," wherein a character's problem could be solved if they only cleared up just one misconception surrounding the whole scenario. So named because all of the plotlines in one of the best sitcoms of all time, Three's Company, revolved around this problem, creating those oh-so-lovable hijinks. The most recent show suffering from this syndrome is 24. This season, Kim Bauer: a) abducts the little girl she takes care of, b) is found in a stolen car with the dead body of the little girl's mother in it, and c) ends up under arrest in a police station. Yet this all could have been avoided had Kim a) told the police the father was abusive to the mother and daughter, and b) said that she didn't kill the mother and stuff her in the trunk! It's little details like this that could change your life my friends.

I was always a pretty good student in school, got good grades, didn't skip class, all that stuff. But I wonder, why did I even bother being a good student? Absolutely nothing you do in school matters until you're in high school when you have to think about college. These college application reviewers don't look at how you did in grades K-8, they just care about high school. So my reasoning is that I could have been the laziest, most unattentive student ever in elementary and junior high school and then kicked it up for high school, done well, and got into a good college. Plus, as an added bonus, everybody would have said, "Oh, look at him! He's the most improved student! We'll have to award him for his improvement to encourage him!" and I would have exceeded everybody's expectations and made myself look good. But, by doing well all the time, I was just passed over. Nobody pays attention to the good kids. *sigh*

What ever happened to Destiny's other child? Out of the Destiny's Child members, Beyonce Knowles has starred in Austin Powers in Goldmember and MTV's Carmen, Kelly Rowland has carved out a solo music career and will star in the upcoming Freddy vs. Jason...and then there's the other one. What is she doing? Nothing as far as I know. I only know that her name is Michelle because they say it at the beginning of Bootylicious. That's the extent of me knowing anything about her. She's like the second guy in Wham! The third guy in The Three Tenors. All of the guys in No Doubt. She lives in the shadow of the other two anyway, she should really try and do something to break through.

Last night at the Grammy Awards, Fred Durst said, "I just really hope we are in agreeance that his war should go away as soon as possible." Agreeance? Does anybody realize how much of a tool he really is because "agreeance" isn't a word! Get a dictionary buddy!

Also, did anybody but me think that Ashanti's performance was way out of tune? I mean, I'm no Simon Cowell, but it didn't sound that great to me. And every pop star always does the same moves: putting out their hand face up, swaying their arm across their body, and then clenching their fist at an emotional moment in the song. They're just taught by their choreographers to do that, it's all a big sham. Where's the real emotion I ask?

I hate these magazines that have more ads than articles. GQ is the one I'm thinking of in particular (because I was looking at it today). I had to flip through pages and pages of advertisements--and that was even before I hit the table of contents! I know you've got to pay the bills but what the heck? I buy the magazine to read it, not flip through it endlessly in the hopes of stumbling across some occasional words!
