Go Away Little Girl....

Sometimes I wish High School would go away...but last night it came back full force...

My Cousin was talking about the reality show Real Chance of Love... one of the many ridiculous VH1 spinoffs that started 4 or so years ago with Flavor Of Love. And she said:

"there's some chick about your age from East Palo Alto on the show, high yellow chick, looks like she's covering up her acne with bad foundation"

and I immediately thought...Lynette...Lynette Fomby.....

hadn't she embarassed herself enough with her appearances on Divorce Court 3 years ago. Shouldn't she be busy reshaping her life instead of trying to become a star by any means possible...

I basically started this blog 2 years ago because I was disgusted that I came from a community and a society in which, I graduated with some that bought into this idea that being famous could be the most important thing as a human being to be, at all costs....and without using actual dignity and talent to actually distinguish yourself above and beyond those who surround you...

Lots of people get divorces...only those that are attention starved and for some perverse reason wants their personal lives broadcast in the middle of the afternoon on non-network affiliate stations...go in from of (then) Mablean Ephram...and get their 23 minutes plus commercial break of fame

Lots of people are looking for romance...but only those looking for their 43 minutes plus commercial breaks of fame seek it with brother press and curl and brother bipolar on a Cable reality show....

It's just a sign of the larger cancer of the American Soul right about now. Are we all so self centered and insecure, and need to pursue attention so much that we end up being laughing stocks of pop culture? Lynette wrote in my senior yearbook "see you on the stage" but why isn't she using actual talents she has, instead of being on a show...where her only talent is getting a BigLots clock and pasting some pictures of the reality show starts in said clock....with some 3M tape?

It's sad...it's sadder that I came from the same Menlo-Atherton Class of 2000 as this woman, and the same zip code....if I see her in the next T.I video shaking her ass, I'm personally putting a citizens arrest on her ass....
