Pop Sensation Ariana Grande Gets Shade From Some Angry Fans

It isn't always easy being the new Pop Princess. Last night after a radio appearance, lovely and talented Ariana Grande left the building without stopping for some fans who were waiting for her. Ariana has the right to do so. I really don't have a problem with that. Sometimes celebrities are tired, are running late, just don't feel like it or whatever the reason is, they just don't want to obey the wishes of fans. Sometimes fans forget that they don't own the stars. What I find astonishing and amusing is when the stars don't do what the so called fans want, some of the "fans" get very bitchy about it. The above is one of the cases. Anyway, this was the first time I heard or seen of Ariana Grande, I happened to be with some friends who told me about her and showed me her music video so I tagged along. She is a talented young star with a nice voice. I think the fans yelling in the video are HILARIOUS.

A Night For Trayvon Martin: Activists Stand Their Ground In Hollywood

I had no idea there was going to be a March for Trayvon Martin or that I was going to join it. Twitter can be thanked for that. I had already had a full day of work but after seeing some tweets about Justice For Trayvon Martin, I decided to go. It is easy to be cynical and to wonder if peaceful marches make a difference. I've been to numerous ones in the past and started to question if it was worth being brutalized by the police or marginalized by the so called news media. A pain in my heart made me join one more protest. Activism is like working out when you don't want to and you have a million excuses not to but you must do it anyway. I don't have a son or daughter and I don't know if I will ever have children. I do know that if Trayvon was my child I would be heartbroken, bitter and maybe inconsolable. What could possibly help ease the pain? Knowing that others stood their ground for my son. That people around the world who didn't know me or my son, chanted his name and made sure he wasn't forgotten. My heart would heal a little bit more knowing fellow compassionate beings took over the streets for my child. We must agitate against complacency. We must work our activism muscles and not get atrophied in sadness and inaction.

Middle Schoolers Discuss Peer Pressure & Cutting/Self-Harm

Slightly over a month ago, I did a video on Paris Jackson's suicide attempt. I was (and still am) concerned about her welfare. It isn't easy being a teenager whether your famous or not and I wanted to do something about my concern for kids who feel they have no one to talk to. I never understood cutting. And when I first heard about it several years ago, I just didn't get it. With a little more wisdom via suffering "the slings and arrows" of fate as well as everyday life, one can easier grasp that we all have our peculiar addictions. Some people drink excessive amounts of alcohol, some escape pain through drugs, over eating, starving themselves, over exercising, hoarding, dangerous sex or extreme celibacy. We all suffer. We all handle it different ways. So what can we do about feeling helpless? I think talking about it is the first step.
I want to thank these three intelligent, kind and lovely young ladies who took the time to share with me and with you their thoughts about being in Middle School and growing up in a world full of peer pressure. They also share that many of their classmates follow the disturbing trend of cutting and starving themselves. I don't have children but if I did I would be intimidated on what would be the best way to raise my child in this world of twitter, FB, Instagram, celebrity role models, TV and peer pressure. What I can do, is Listen, share my insights and make videos and hopefully create a dialogue for change and growth.
