I'm person saying: WTH?

I know I haven't posted in a week but things have been busy around here! I didn't have a Happiness post not because I didn't take pictures, but because I haven't had a chance to go through them all. Next week for sure. 

I just came across this article on the Yahoo News! website. It seriously goes in the WTH? category.

Job listings say the unemployed need not apply

Seriously!? They only want applicants that either currently have a job or have recently been laid off? How the HELL is that possible? Our economy is bad and the number of open positions out there are scarce. How do employers think we are going to lower the unemployment numbers in this country if they don't accept applications from workers that have been unemployed for longer than a few months? If there is a job opening, let ALL qualified applicants apply. It is a start to getting our economy back on track.

WTH people? WTH!

I am Mom saying: What The Hell?

By now everyone knows the train wreck that goes by the name of Kanye West. And everyone knows the crap he pulled at last year's MTV Video Music Awards when Taylor Swift won her award. If you don't, first of all- read some entertainment news and second- go here.

So pretty much everyone in the world was on Taylor Swift's side (she handled herself pretty well for a teenager) and proclaimed Kanye West a HUGE douchebag. Or high. Or drunk. Or all three. But as he has in the past he turns it all around on HIM and makes a statement that just confirms his douchebagginess and blames his rough year on the media.

You can read the Yahoo! News story here.

"Oh no! The media dissed me all year long! I had to close down my clothing line and I didn't get to make that extra million this year.! It is NOT my fault, I was a jerk but the media 'demonized' me." WHAT THE HELL? Or how about SHUT THE HELL UP! It has been a year, stop bringing it up, stop being a martyr and start being a decent human being (if possible).

I'm a Mom saying WHAT THE HELL?

I just read a local story that made me say "What The Hell!" It was almost out loud.

Here is the story: Police: Dad retaliated by abandoning kids at Mall

Seriously? SERIOUSLY? A 3 year old and an 18 month old? SERIOUSLY? So you get pissed off at your spouse/partner and you walk out to cool off. YOU. ALONE. You don't freaking take the kids with you and leave them at the mall. What the Hell was he thinking? That HE wasn't going to get in trouble for it? It sounds as if (now this is just speculation) the parents were possibly drug addicts, or down on their luck, since the Police hadn't given the kids back to their Mother at the time the story was posted. But really....drug addiction is no excuse to do shit like that. 

OK, that's my "What The Hell" for the week. If any more info becomes available (since I don't want to spread untrue speculations about the parents, or at least the Mom) I'll update.

*UPDATE* Well it's not so much of an update as a correction. The children are 18 months and 3 months old. BABIES. No so much kids as BABIES. WTH?

What The Hell?

You all know I read Mama Pop on an hourly basis. Hourly because the updates throughout the day are plentiful and I don't want to miss out on the goings on of the rich and famous (and sometimes the bankrupt and fallen/falling). This morning I read an article on Mama Pop that I loved!

Super model Gisele seems to think that breastfeeding should be a mandatory law across the globe. MANDATORY BREASTFEEDING. WHAT. THE. HELL?

Snarky Amber gives her take on it HERE.

I agree wholeheartedly with Snarky Amber. So much, in fact, that I don't have much else to say other than WHAT THE HELL GISELE!!

even if my most of my posts make you think I am.

I know I am pretty much a typical "mommy blogger".  My kids take up most of my world with the other parts being my husband and friends. There are some times that I have an opinion on something that isn't kid related and I need to start sharing them with you more often.

I thinking of starting a day of the week called "What The Hell?" Like "What The Hell Wednesdays" or something like that.  Maybe I'll just have a few random posts here and there called "What The Hell?" I"ll think more about it.

Anyway, this week I read an article about a young singer from the Philippines getting Botox injections for her upcoming role in Glee. You can read the article here. As I read it I of course started thinking "WTH! Seriously?" She is 18 with skin like a baby's ass and she got Botox. Of course her representatives claim it wasn't so she would look young, oh no, they couldn't be honest about it, they make up some excuse of "muscle pain in the jaw". I want to know if it was NOT cosmetic, why did she let cameras film the process? If she was in pain, why subject herself to filming the injections?

So I've though about what it would be like to get Botox, or something similar in a few lines I have on my forehead and that one crappy deep line in between my eyes, but I'm over 30. AND I wouldn't get anything done until after 40. I certainly wouldn't get anything done at age 18. Freaking 18. What The Hell?

What are your thoughts on the article?
