New Year's Resolutions

I started this blog with the intention of writing more often. Since I haven't posted since November 27, well, I can see that intention hasn't exactly come through, but I'm determined to keep trying! As much as I procrastinate, I do really like to write.

Pop culture took a turn for the serious and truly sad this week when Britney Spears was hospitalized following a three-hour standoff where she held one of her children hostage. Anyone can see now that Britney is worse off than simply being trashy or having the poor judgment to go sans panties, shave her head, and all the other shit she's done this year. She is clearly very mentally ill.

This is more than just another celebrity scandal, to me anyway. I find it deeply disturbing and I can imagine all too easily what Britney Spears has been like for her children, family members, and friends to deal with. And beyond that, no matter how negligent a mother she may or may not be, or how repellent I found her to be on she didn't ask to be sick and has a life-long struggle ahead of her.
