Wishful thinking

All I can say is "Really, T.I., seriously?????"   According to a recent news report (link below) rapper/actor T.I. was arrested for suspicion of possession an illegal substance earlier this week. His wife was also arrested with him when their car was stopped by officers in West Hollywood according to the article below.

I'm hoping the charges with the term "suspicion" means there's a chance the entertainer was wrongly accused. Stranger things have happened and I don't believe everything I read. Everything will "come out in the wash" as they say.  After the rapper's stint in prison in the past year I'd hope we'd see only positive things from T.I.  While I'm not a huge fan of his music, I have followed this man's career and was happy to see him recently in the media talking about how his incarceration helped him grow emotionally. I'm still rooting for this young man. I think he "could" be a great role model for his peers if, in fact, he does turn his life around. Because he's recently released from prison, I read that if the charges have any validity T.I. could be going back to prison as a repeat offender.  We all have to pay at some point for our bad decisions.  Here's hoping the old T.I. is "dead and gone" as he croons in one of his songs.  It may be turn out to be only wishful thinking on my part, but I'm into positive thinking these days!

...They say don't talk politics or religion at work - wait, what about social media sites???

Beware, "Big Brother" is watching your every move online.  In this case "Big Brother" is a potential employer or current one that wants to know what your activities outside of work entail.  Those of us with nothing to hide may have no worries, but the "perspective" is in the eye of the HR person. One has to wonder if their personal views of say religion, politics or music for example, would be cause for pre-judgement by employers. In the current economic situation here in the U.S., I suspect "watching what you say online" is a harsh reality to how most people conduct themselves on the Web.  Apart from filtering your speech online, what about the personal photos of your "away-from-work" activities that can land someone in hot water with their employer.  Remember the story of the teacher who was fired when pictures of her vacation was posted on Facebook (article below)?  Mama always told me life's not fair! Also, the NY Times art...

Mel Gibson - Another audio tape released of a violent rant

It appears that a fourth tape of Mel Gibson's rants toward ex-lover Grigorieva has surfaced. CNN reports that Radar Online, an online magazine publication, released the forth in a series of tapes. The male voice on the tapes is said to be the actor Mel Gibson.  See the story at:  http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/celebrity.news.gossip/07/14/mel.gibson.rant/index.html?iref=allsearch A handful of televised entertainment shows have recently played one or more of the released audio tapes. While the tape is said to "allegedly" contain Mel Gibson's voice, I've seen several TV programs where celebrities acquainted with Gibson admit the voice similarity is uncanny. Many fans (some now ex-fans) of Gibson's movies over the years, have blogged online that the voice sounds exactly like the actor. More importantly, in my opinion, is the tone of the threats and yelling heard on the tapes. If the voice is, in fact, Mel Gibson's - he needs professional help fast. The deat...

Lindsay Lohan sentenced to jail

http://www.cnn.com/2010/SHOWBIZ/celebrity.news.gossip/07/06/lindsay.lohan.court/index.html As reported on CNN (see link above), Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 90 days  in jail and 90 days in rehab following her jail stay. I believe this may save her life - hopefully.  Anyone with experience being around individuals with self-destructive behaviors knows the drill:  sometimes you have to let them hit rock-botom before they see the light - so to speak. While I'm no where near perfect, I can say that I have no personal experience with drug and alcohol abuse. I've seen how drugs/alcohol can destroy lives and sometimes the damage is irreparable.  I hope she gets the time and treatment she needs to reflect and heal herself inside and out. Sometimes we can be our worst enemy.
