Dee Dee Dee

Albert Einstein once said, ~The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.~ Without a doubt, we all have issues about stupid people when it pertains to certain things that are either said or done that it just bugs you to the point it can get under your skin. It's the particular issues that we see and/or hear about on a semi-daily basis that inevitably has each one of us standing on our own individual soap box to give one's 2 cents, which hopefully makes you feel better afterwards once you get it off your chest. Let me ask you this question, do you have any particular issues of lat that concern the sheer "brilliance" of what certain people have said and/or done because I know I do.

We all grew up knowing that there are 9 planets in the solar system but recent events say otherwise as the powers that be of the scientific community in their infinite wisdom deemed Pluto not worthy enough to a planet. According to them, it doesn't live up to the three qualification one of them being is that it must be large enough to where it take on a nearly round shape. Pluto supposedly has been downgraded to a dwarf planet, which now changes the whole scheme of things in many school textbooks. For it's not only textbooks but also in mnemonic devices we all use and learned as kids that went by My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas or whatever you went by. All I'm saying is its planet profiling and that's just wrong.

It would be safe to say that many of you have probably been on some pretty bad dates and knew immediately beforehand that it was going to be a bad one. Listening to a popular, as well as, local radio station last week a man named Darren, a CEO of some company, went out on a date and essentially paid for her even though she offered. Ladies most definitely know beforehand if there will be another date and the lady in question knew it wasn't going to happen. Now what makes this man a complete douchebag is that he hired a lawyer, threatened legal action over a 100 dollar bill, and at one point called her place of employment to get her fired just because she said that she would call him. This so-called drama, as far as I know, is still ongoing.

For the question can be asked, is there a certain celebrity that you are sick and tired of not only hearing about but also seeing as well? I think we would all agree that the most annoying so-called celebrity who is basically known for doing and accomplishing absolutely nothing other than Kevin Federline, who stunk badly at the Teen Choice Awards with his performance, is Paris Hilton. Paris Hilton's attempt at becoming a pop star is not flying with many people because you can never take her seriously when she makes far out statements like she cried happy tears when she listened to her new album. Let me tell you something, we as music listeners cried too, but for a totally different reason altogether because of laughing too hard.

In retrospect, no matter how much you try to avoid stupidity or stupid people for that matter you will cross paths with it/them eventually. For it comes in many different forms and oftentimes it can be hard to spot at first because it can be so easily disguised and yet the question remains can it be highly contagious? My answer is as long as you have that one thing that certain people seem to be lacking in today's society, which is common sense, then no it can't. In the end, I end this therapeutic thought that best describes the individual mentioned above and others like them with a catch phrase made famous by one of my most favorite comedians Carlos Mencia which is they're all DEE DEE DEE!
