Sports, Acting, and Dicks

Something I noticed the other night; apparently it's quite acceptable to be a complete and utter dick in sports and acting. Case of epiphany: Bobby Knight. I don't watch sports, but my husband does....alot. I've heard of this guy before. He's abusive to his players, loses it on a regular basis, is a complete and utter asshole. So I see him on tv and I asked my husband, "Isn't that the guy that's such an asshole?" And he says yes, so I ask "So why is he on tv and still employed?". I ask this because this isn't a case of he's just an asshole, this is a case of he's a fuckin' psycho. My husband says, "Yes, but he's the best basketball coach there is. Do you know how many wins he's responsible for?" So I get to thinking, and that's also the case in acting. You say, boy that (fill in actor's name here) is a real dick (or bitch) and the response will be similar; "Yeah, but do you know how many movies he sells??"

You know, noone says that about anyone else? Noone says "boy that John's a prick, but he's a fireman. Do you know how many lives he's saved?" or "Man, that Sandy is a bitch, but she's a cop. Do you know how many bullets she's taken for people?" Noone excuses the asshole-ness of the regular folk. If John or Sandy act like an asshole then they are just assholes. There's no quantifier. This is only one sign of the complete lack of perception inherent in people. It's completely acceptable for a sports "star"/actor to behave in a completely unacceptable manner, and people will still fawn over them. What is wrong with you people?

Stuffage

Ah, what's going on the last couple of days...went to a regular doctor's appt and all is well. Went again to a second for glucose testing, I'm assuming if all is not well they will call me. I am a bit annoyed tho...

Does NO doctor actually finish his job?? I have an awesome doctor, I really like him alot and I'm very comfortable with him. However, what is wrong with these doctors? I'm delivering a baby. I go to all the effort to find a good doctor that I am comfortable with and feel I can trust to get me and my baby through this safely...but if he's not on call or it's not during the week, well, he's not delivering. WTF? Why go to the effort at all to find a doctor? Why not just have all the doctors line up like an assembly line and you just go to the first available. I asked the nurse about this and she says "Do you really think he'd let someone do it who's incompetent?" Well, it's a matter of trust. I chose my doctor for his age, he's an old man. The reason being is that older doctors are much less likely to be the ones passing out pills for every little ill, usually take a common sense approach to medicine, and tell you what you NEED to hear instead of what you want to hear. Now, one of his associates is a doctor I tried to go to at the beginning of my pregnancy and she was such a bitch I left in the middle of the appt. She's a very competent doctor, but she's got a serious attitude problem. Now, not knowing her personally, who's to say that she isn't someone who would do something spiteful? Or unnecessary? Not to mention, who the fuck wants a cunt (yeah yeah, I hear you, hahaha) at their delivery? She delivered my last baby (again, MY doctor wasn't available), and when I tore (yeah, TORE) she said, that's your fault, you shouldn't have stopped pushing. Hello? You can only push so much before you have to get a breath and try again. If you could just continually push, then no woman would ever tear. Ah, phone, might finish this bitch fest later.

Long absence

The problem with starting something like this is that you have good intentions, however, you just get so busy you forget. And yeah, I'd definitely say I've been busy. In 2 months we will be having our baby boy. Where have I been for the last year? Mostly gestating. And dividing my time horribly between trying to keep up with today's news, online gaming, and just generally getting on my husband's nerves. I've had rants and rants galore, just no time to get them down. And with a 2 year old AND a new baby, I'm worried I still won't have time. But possibly, just maybe, I will. I could use the outflow here, might make less stress on me in my daily life and the husband would LOVE that. Then again, so would I. Feel free to leave your opinions, I won't promise they will stay there, but I can promise I'll give them the attention they deserve. Disagree with me, you stay. Make no sense, shout obsenities, be obnoxious, you go. Very easy...Have a good day...I'm sure we'll see one another later...
