Things We Learned in 2009
It was Jon Gosselin the whole time! And we all thought Kate was just a b*tch.
Paula Abdul wasn't drunk. She was on the pain patch. One step forward, two steps back.
John McCain was just as embarrassed by Sarah Palin as the rest of us and blames her for losing him the election. You betcha!
Jay Leno at 11:30/10:30 central was cool. Leno at 10/9 central is unwatchable.
Ghost sex is not as hot as it sounds. Grey's Anatomy's story line in early 2009 with Izzie and Denny the Ghost jumped the shark so far that it landed on the other side of the ocean on dry ground.
Beating up your girlfriend is unforgivable, unless you're cute. Then we forgive you. We learned this when Chris Brown beat the crap out of Rihanna, and half the teens in America blamed Rihanna.
Michael Phelps is a pot-head. No wonder he eats so much!
Health care is for Communists and Nazis. Tea Parties are for rich white people who already have health insurance and want to see an original copy of Barack Hussein Obama's birth certificate.
Tiger Woods is really good at two things...and golf is the other one.
Carrie Underwood can wear anything.
Katy Perry thinks she can wear anything.
Lady GaGa will wear anything.
Michael Jackson was a mentally-ill drug addict hooked on general anesthesia, but he was still the greatest entertainer who ever lived.
B.J. Ritter blogs too much. Two years, over 1000 posts, and two spin off websites. I've decided to slooooow way down on my writing. Toward the end of 2009 I've quietly debated if I wanted to continue celebrity gossip, do more comedy, or pursue politics, blog about human rights, gay rights, or animal rights, or concentrate on spirituality.
At this time, I have decided to continue writing a weekly self-improvement post on my spiritual blog www.JoyfulShepherd.com and use Pink Sheep of the Family to update any random thoughts or stories that occur in my personal life with no particular focus or agenda.
Here's hoping 2010 is even more fabulous than 2009!
Much Love,
Beej

The Jesus Shoes Song
Y'all remember when the Christmas song Jesus Shoes came out? (At least that's what I call it.) Grown men would burst into tears at the Sears check-out line as they heard, "Sir, I wanna buy these shoes for my momma please. It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size."
I too drank the crazy kool-aid and believed this was a cute little song about a poor boy and his dying mother. I cried my share of random tears in embarrassing waiting rooms as the song played in the background.
Now. It just gets on my nerves! No. For realz. Think about it. Here's some kid trying to buy his mom some shoes?! Seriously? How about buying her some medicine or something! How are shoes gonna help her? She's dying!!!
Pearly gates?! This song makes heaven sound more like a velvet rope! I picture Jesus standing at the
Just as I felt the figgy pudding crawling its way up the back of my throat, that's when I stumbled upon the above video of the song (which I think is the actual music video by the group New Song). It has NOTHING to do with the song! It has random shots of Rob Lowe. Yes! THAT Rob Lowe. The only coherent part is there's a little boy whose mom is dying. Huuuhhhhh?Then I found another video that some random person made and it ripped my guts out. It is waaaay more tear-jerkier (I think that's a word) than the original. After watching it, I wanted to reach into the screen and give that kid some more money. (Only thing is he picks out the ugliest shoes ever. I mean EVER...) Click HERE to watch it.
God bless us. Every one.
