It’s amazing how many Brits seem to go to America and come back having obviously stopped off at a Plano cosmetic dentist for some veneers. Not that I think that is necessarily a bad thing, it just seems like one of the ‘rules’ for Brits who want to make it in the States is that they have to get ‘perfect’ American teeth first.
I am not a religious person, I never have been and I imagine I never will be – I don’t believe in living my life in preparation for what could potentially be the next. I don’t believe in reincarnation, or heaven and hell – so I will live this life as I wish, thank you very much.
Having said that I do believe in karma and I don’t know why, it’s as ’silly’ a theory as most religion is to me – yet because I like the idea of it I choose to believe.
Any way, check out this Fictional movie site for believers in karma and reincarnation.
I think I might need to start applying the odd anti aging product at night, I am getting old!
Honestly, I never thought I would be the sort of woman to freak out at turning 30, and really I am not that bothered – but at the same time I would really rather not be!
It also makes me feel old that our neighbours party every Friday and Saturday night until gone 5am, and rather than head round there to join in I moan and whinge about how annoying they are!
Being a former smoker myself I have mixed views on smoking in public places as I can see it from both sides – non smokers don’t want to smell of cigarettes and get harmful toxins in them from passive smoking, and smokers wants to be able to have the freedom to do what they chose with their own bodies whenever they like.
In the USA although most states have public smoking bans, most casinos still allow it – but that is now posing problems, I was reading an article earlier about the Wynn hotel in Las Vegas which is actually being sued by it’s own employees for exposing them to second hand smoke. As a result a lot of other casinos are now changing and banning smoking.
I suppose one of the advantages of playing casino games in the comfort of your own home via the Internet is that you can do whatever you like – whether than be smoking a cigarette or wearing only your underwear. But it’s not quite the same is it? In the same way sitting drinking alcohol on your own isn’t the same as actually going to a bar. Interacting with people and soaking up the atmosphere is all part of the experience.
Overall I have a ‘live and let live’ attitude and don’t like the idea of banning anyone from doing anything – but when health is involved I can’t help but side with those who want the right not to have what is a filthy habit forced upon them if they like it or not!
Have you ever noticed how every reality show seems to have a woman with huge false boobs, and I don’t mean someone who’s had a little booster – I am talking huge ‘comedy’ boobs like Sophie from Big Brother UK. A few years ago people didn’t like the ‘glamour girl’ look and would groan and moan when yet another one walked into the house – they’d usually be one of the first people out of there also.
These days it seems much more acceptable, with glamour girls proving really popular and even winning the shows. Has plastic surgery just become more acceptable and normal these days, or is it just that we’ve got used to them because they feature so much in all our favourite reality shows?
Lots of women seems to come out of reality shows and go looking for affordable breast augmentation these days as well, I can think of several former Big Brother girls who have since had the surgery – I suppose they do it in order to further their careers and get more money from nuts shoots. I think it’s a sad state of affairs – more power to women who want boob jobs for themselves, I have no qualms about that, but in order to please lads mags? That’s lame, just like pop displays.
…Kerry Katona, when she was on I’m A Celebrity I thought she was great, really nice down to earth girl, but it seems we created a monster that series with both her and Jordan coming from it.
I just don’t understand why magazines continue to pay people like her for their stories, “My break up hell”, “My dramatic weight gain”, “I broke my nail!!” etc.
More so, why on earth do people read them? Kerry is in the trash mags again this week on some crazy new diet pill like phenocal or something, apparently it’s her last attempt to lose weight as she’s tried every thing else (and told us all in detail about every moment of it). Here’s a novel idea Kerry, stop going for the quick fixes and miracle cures which you have proven don’t work for you long term — and just eat less and move more for life.
Cripes.
I was singing my web site hosting providers praises just a few weeks ago, I knew I was going to jinx things by doing so.
Actually they are still pretty good, I don’t think I will be searching for the best budget hosting to replace them with any time soon.
Someone complained that I was spamming them, even though they subscribed themselves to the list and could remove themselves at any time. It took many many many emails to my host to get across the fact that the person who complained was an idiot and I had done nothing wrong, but I think we got there in the end.
I did just have a look at the best Unix hosting as rated by WebHostingRating.com though, just so if I do decide to move I have a head start 
I am thinking of making a new feature here on 1netez to house my rants on things that annoy me on the telly, and I don’t mean characters on shows — I mean silly random things that no one else probably even notices.
Like the fact that in shop scenes there are never any of those pesky customers getting in the way of the shop assistants conversations — The Cabin in Coronation Street for example is always either empty, or has one regular cast member in it. Come on now, how much would it cost you to pay the occasional extra?
Another thing that bugs me, the way that people on TV shows seem to be able to pick up any old concert tickets they desire with no consideration of the logistics or cost — want some San Antonio concert tickets for a big gig happening tonight? No problem, just wander off for a few minutes and you’ll be back with them in your hand as if by magic. Want tickets to see Coldplay? No worries, they sold out every where months ago but if you want to see them then there will be some tickets left over just for you. Want to get some Phoenix concert tickets so you can treat your new lady friend to a concert to impress her? — great, don’t worry that they actually cost a lot of money and you have no idea if she actually likes that band, just go get ‘em got.
Now truth be told, if someone went out and bought me some Philadelphia concert tickets as a surprise I would be pleased as punch, but it’s just not realistic how they do it in the TV shows and that just bothers my stupid over-thinking brain.
I am pretty sure I need to take these things less seriously and not rant for 300 words about them, that seems like the better option.
Sorry for not blogging for a few days, I was suffering with a cold all last week so didn’t feel much like being online at all…never mind blogging.
I spent the week in bed with some TV, it was a great week to be sick TV wise at least — what with so many American shows coming back on air — Survivor, The Amazing Race, Prison Break, Smallville, Heroes…the list goes on. I also managed to get through some films I have been meaning to watch for ages — Juno, Sweeny Todd, Hellboy and Superbad!
Indeed, there are worse times to get ill…I am almost sorry I am better
