Oh My Gosh! Did you hear about Paris?

So was I the only one watching MSNBC/CNN/Fox News before Paris Hilton got officially sent back to prison? I wouldn’t be surprised (actually, I would be. I am just using it as a figure of speech) if everyone who was sitting in their high school classes was watching this whole situation to see how it would turn out. As the class sits and stares, their whole life will hang in the balance. Presidential elections; who cares. The fact that their changing the secretary of defense; its just a bunch of old guys anyways. We want to know why there was a truck of party supplies driving up to the Hilton Mansion on the day she was required back to the courthouse. We want to know why she asked for a hair and make-up artist before she went to testify but one could see in the cop car that she wasn’t wearing any. So many questions to be answered.

I was reading a few comments after she was sent home with an electronic monitoring device, there were several comments all relaying essentially the same message: "If it was me, my white a#@ would still be in jail." Amen to that brother. One might ask: Is it fair? Who knows? Maybe she is just a product of her environment. In fact, maybe it should be her parents that get sent to jail. After all it wasn't her fault that her parents allowed her to get wasted every night at clubs, make a sex video, or squander her inheritance on servants that hold her drink. But then again, the story wouldn't be nearly as interesting. But then again would it?

And just a simple shout-out to Paris. Paris, your Simple Life just got a whole lot simpler. Just avoid the superfluous amount of inmates with staph infection.

What will I do now, now that Paris Hilton is back in Jail, the team I loathe (the Cavaliers) is in the finals, and the only thing ESPN is covering now is baseball and the SEC? Maybe I’ll start working again, but then again, I will be taking the GRE in about a month. Maybe I'll start studying for that.

Good points, Trevor.

It's one of those "where were you when...?"

Like where you were the Berlin Wall fell, when O.J. was acquitted or when Jessie overdosed on caffeine pills in Season 2.

Some things you just never forget.
