Despereate Housewifes.....


All I can say about this show is: You gotta like the dirty laundry!

At first when I saw the pilots, it was like: What the heck? Are they serious that they were going to make a show about a bunch of shallow people living on a street having sex and complaining about not having enough sex? But at the end, I was wrong.

This is a show about misunderstood and troubled people who really care about each other and shows it. They are human and they hurt people like everyday-people do. I like this show and it is so humane and the characters are so likable in every single way.


The desperate housewives are portrayed by Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, and Eva Longoria. As much I hate the character Gabrielle, I have to say, I have to like Eva Logoria's charm because she is delightful to watch as a person in interviews. I love the character Bree. She is so stunning to watch as this perfectionist with a family that is nothing but 'perfect.' Felicity Huffman plays the real everyday-mom who's stressed - Lynette, who's also an great character. There's Teri Hatcher's character, Susan, which I liked at first but she gets boring but she does have a great cheerleader, her daughter Julie, who is probably much more likable than her. And there's Edie Britt ... the 'slut' of the neighborhood. I hated her at first, but then, slowly, liked her...

What makes this show so creative is that it is narrated by a housewife that committed suicide on episode one. It is an extremely nice turn in television...

Paris Hilton.... "The Ultimate Blonde"...

In today's society there is very little respect for women... There are many reasons for this... Two of the major reasons are the consequences of the feminist movement and the fact that media's morals are willing to sell this woman's dignity for their own fucking profit.

So often times the modern-day feminist movement has pushed for 'freedom'. However, it seems more often than not, the demands made by this feminist movement have had very detrimental results. Pornography in the media, such as in this commercial, are largely a result of the feminist's desire for freedom to display their sexuality. Pornography exploits, humiliates, and degrades a woman. So it seems the feminists have, in this aspect, hurt themselves to the core...

Why would any company want to use something this appalling to sell a product? And if a company is willing to use something like pornography to sell a product, then where does it stop??? Where is the line drawn that will stop the media from airing whatever they wish????

Well its a million dollar question....

One fine day I happen to cite a TV show on VH1 ( Music Channel)... The show was about the biography of the Ultimate blonde "Paris Hilton"...shez a blithering idiot!!

Her vocab seems to revolve around "Whatever" and "its hot"... At one point, it would have been difficult to define Paris Hilton. The so called "Career heiress", "party girl" or "high-ranking socialite-cum-model-cum-actress," and "American royalty" was arguably too dramatic a label for a woman whose true breakout role cost less to film than a night in a budget room at the neighborhood Hilton hotel.. It really sucks to see Paris Hilton as a TV personality for all the plastic smiles, and tones of Whatever’s .. Huh..!

But Paris the Heiress seems to be the latest in a long list of unremarkable celebrities whose names have invaded chunks of our brain space and we've no idea what they're doing there. They're manufactured celebrities, with nothing worth celebrating....

"She's sort of like the Teflon celebrity" .. After all, it's not like she has a dignified acting or singing career to protect.. Shez famous for playing someone who milks a cow in a miniskirt....

The funny thing is, shez making millions of dollars. Its Paris Incorporated. Shez not that stupid as she appears to be.. "If you ask her to name all the 50 state capitals, I'm sure she would look at you with a blank stare, But if you ask her the most effective way to launch a product to young women, she would know exactly what to do...

"When it comes to fame IQ, shez an absolute genius..."

Hurricane Katrina... The Disaster....

All of us offer our sympathies to those impacted by the hurricane in the U.S. Gulf region. It's hard to imagine finding any light news in the coverage surrounding that tragedy this week. But I was touched by the story of a man in Mississippi who had ridden out the storm at home. As the waters began to subside, he watched the flows from his front porch, side-by-side with a flying squirrel, lizard, and bullfrog -- all happy to be on a dry porch and completely unconcerned about the strange company. I just can't get that mental picture, and its implied lessons, out of my mind…

Hurricane Katrina—a nightmare of a hurricane with 140-mile-an-hour (225-kilometer-an-hour) winds and a storm surge nearly two stories tall—came ashore early this morning at the mouth of the Mississippi River near New Orleans…

Hurricane Katrina made landfall as a Category 4 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale, which ranks hurricanes from one to five according to wind speeds and destructive potential. A Category 4 hurricane has winds from 131 to 155 miles an hour (211 to 249 kilometers an hour) and is capable of doing a massive damage…

One of the possible reasons for the vulnerability could be the rapid population growth on the coast during the past three decades…

I have been watching every scrap of news I can get over the internet, as well as CNN and BBC World on cable, and of course the local news reports which are shocked and aghast at all that has happened. To see citizens of ‘the most powerful country in the world’ on their knees, people crying and begging just like all of the news reports they have seen in the past of disasters in Indonesia or Bangladesh or Somalia, not to mention Iraq, is beyond belief. The scenes of looting and violence defy description. The US has helped so many other places over the years, and in Europe, they find it terrible to see the US in need and help not arriving fast enough…

As part of what will likely become a multi-year recovery effort, My Company - through our recently established charitable foundation - has made an initial $25,000 donation to the American Red Cross Relief efforts to assist in providing immediate aid to the victims of this tragedy…

Kudos for such a wise thought...
