Again, my life makes no sense at times. I’m nearly a quarter-century old (25! Eek!) but I am obsessed with the Twilight Saga series. I have always had a thing for vampires. In high school, I planned my life around Buffy the Vampire Slayer series. I love the Anne Rice Chronicles. It’s not surprising that I’d like Twilight…except that it’s about a bunch of teenagers! You would think I would have outgrown this by now! I would giggle if I weren’t so pathetic.

Oh well. I’m trying to be good so I guess reading is a positive way to pass the time. I’ll stick by that and consider myself just plain weird.

We have all witnessed the rise and fall of Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan. Both girls enjoyed enormous success before age 18 (Britney at 16, Lindsay at 16) and both went on to self-destruct in recent memory. Both had relative potential in their chosen fields. Now, both are laughing stocks in the gossip blog world.

Will Miley Cyrus be spared the same fate?

I highly doubt it. Annie Lebowitz photographed the 15-year-old star for Vanity Fair. The pictures are really not that bad. Sort of artistic. A far cry from the ‘wardrobe malfunctions’ of her older predecessors. However, she is only 15. She cannot legally drive. Yet, she is being displayed ‘topless’ wrapped in a sheet for the entire world to see…and for her parents, magazines, and the Miley Cyrus empire to profit off of her.

My main problem with this whole scenario is girls are not allowed to be girls anymore. This teen queen has not even celebrated her sweet 16 yet, and she’s already posing provacatively and becoming the source of wet dreams for sickos everywhere. Her fans are in the same situation. Being 15 today is like being 25. And I, as a 24 year old woman, feel so far behind this underage jailbait movement that I may never be as ‘hip’ as they seem to think they are. You look at them, then me, and you think they are the 25 year olds. But in reality, I feel for them. I had a childhood. I sort of enjoyed that in between stage where I was “not [really] a girl, not [really] a woman.” I got to be 15.

Miley Cyrus didn’t cause this. Britney Spears didn’t cause this. Parents who allowed this trend to continue caused this. The media created an age where girls are pimped out so they (the media) can make a buck. And the victims? Just look at Britney Spears. She is a lost, spoiled, sick little girl who is in over her head, lost her children, and who is, I’d be willing to guess, the loneliest person in the world. Other girls suffer the same fate by turning to drugs, carelessness, and sex to validate their existance.

I feel sorry for Miley. She’s in for a world of trials before she’s actually an established, successful adult as she desperately wants to be in this shoot. At the end of the day, she is only at child.

the human condition does not change. that’s where i come in. this blog is going to be a social commentary on the rights and the wrongs of the human condition while throwing in my own experiences in this wonderful existance known as life. drama is never far behind when i’m on the scene.

so really, what’s the point? some girl with her laptop comments on human nature; big deal. why read it?

because it’s fun! because it’s honest! because you may just learn a thing or two about yourself, your friends, and your significant other. you may never know.

 if you need to know anything else about me, that avatar says it best. i’m a very kitten-like creature with a total bad-ass attitude.

I’m not sure what it was about today.

 The day started off with a crash in the stock market. I was a little nervous about it since they were predicting the worst day on Wall Street since 9/11 and I now have money vested in my 401(k). Luckily the day did not turn out so bleak. My stocks did not do great but it could have been worse.

The other tragic thing that happened was the death of Heath Ledger. Heath had so much potential to be one of the greats of Hollywood. His poor daughter. Everyone knows what happened by now; however I wanted to put my thoughts out there in cyberspace:

 Be in peace, Heath. We will miss you.

In addition to this, the day went by so slow. The week has. I hope things pick up.

 Oh and please check this out. I am for urban redevelopment. However, this is kind of ridiculous. They are wanting to build a high rise on Bissonnett in Houston. If you are familiar with the area, you know it’s already a high traffic area! Why add a high rise without revising the infrastructure? It’s a silly idea and it should be stopped at all cost.
