i've been in a ranting mood as of late.  i don't know why, but maybe one reason is that payday is more than a week away and i barely have enough to get me through.  believe me, you'll know exactly how i feel when you're at your wits' end trying every possible way to save money until that old atm account is filled with moolah again–in a week's time–and you're reduced to being stuck at home on the coming weekend instead of seeing a movie, or having a drink with friends or, worse, when a rare opportunity of getting laid comes along.  doesn't life ever suck?!

anyways, i know i have touched on this subject before, but not in it's entirety.  but i just want to point out:  what the hell is all this fascination about our local actors and actresses doing production numbers on noontime variety shows?  i mean, i can understand the game portions, contests, and comedy skits of these programs, but to put people who can't sing and dance in front of a national audience and make them look like idiots belting out to the latest tunes and strutting with the latest grooves?  i mean, c'mon!!  i don't find a single shred of entertainment in them!!  don't get me wrong, some of them are good (well, good is saying too much already, as far they these people are concerned) in their movie and soap opera roles, but they can't do squat in singing or dancing!  why can't they just stick to acting?  at least they're bearable in doing that, but please, if you're trying to plug a movie or a daily soap on variety shows, just show up and do a plugging routine!  there's nothing wrong with that, isn't there?  you don't see tom cruise singing to what goes around comes around by justin timberlake when he makes a guest appearance on the late show with david letterman, or cameron diaz strutting to the latest dance tunes by jennifer lopez on the ellen degeneres show when they have movies to promote, do you?  let the singers or a band guesting do the singing!  please spare our senses of sight and hearing from your horrible and disgusting, not to mention, imagining-to-try-hard excuse of a performance!!  really, i just don't get it why people still shriek in delight at these so-called artists.  instead of honing their craft by being in acting workshops, they rehearse for their spectacular song and dance number on weekends.  yeah, right.  spectacular my ass!!

can somebody please give me a really, really, and i mean really good explanation as to why this is happening?  to borrow a quote from brew's blog, "what the fuck?!"
