It’s Britney, Bitch

I’m apparently drinking shit wine. Trader Joe’s Charles Shaw (Two Buck Chuck) Chardonnay. It’s damn fucking good. It actually won awards. Yes, lined up against some heavy hitting wineries, it has won awards. I try not to care what other people think. I eat, drink, do exactly what I want to do–not giving a damn about others’ opinions. Kinda like Britney.

I am listening to a sampler of Britney’s music on Rhapsody for two reasons. 1) I often listen to Britney Spears. That’s right, bitches, I like pop music and Britney’s the queen of pop so shut the fuck up. I don’t care if she was hauled away in a gurney today, laughing carelessly as the paparazzi surrounded the ambulance. 2) As I boogie down to some of the greatest hits of all time, I do feel inclined to honor this lost superstar. I know this may sound completely ridiculous, but I’m going to pray for her.

Hopefully she hasn’t gone cuckoo permanently. We can gossip and blame, but ‘Ye who have not sinned, cast the first stone.’ Honestly, no one can ever put themselves in her shoes. How would you like to have every single person in the world use you? Her parents and family have been profiting off of her. Then to find out that her baby sister is pregnant from the media…to not even hear it from her own sister. How alone can one feel at that point? No wonder the girl has gone off the deep end. It just makes me so sad.

I’ve done a ‘few’ drugs in my lifetime and I really had no reason to escape into dream land. This girl has endured scandal after scandal, is chased by the paparazzi, was married to a scumbucket. No wonder she is all coked up and high on life! And the one who is looking good is her ex. This is some backwards ass world we live in when Kevin Federline is voted father of the year. Yuck!

So I gotta give props to my girl, Britney, who called out my homeland in her latest hit.

“I’m Miss American Dream since I was 17
Don’t matter if I step on the scene
Or sneak away to the Philippines
They still gon put pictures of my derrière in the magazine
You want a piece of me?
You want a piece piece of me…”

The song is titled Piece of Me from her album Blackout. Ironic, eh?

Here’s hoping that she gets help and finds peace.
