George on X-factor? Tuesday, Nov 17 2009

Jesus, here we go again… Wasn’t enough to be on American Idol, then? Is he really that fond of Simon Cowell?

Luckily, News of the World isn’t the most reliable source…

I may be a snob, I admit it, but I think it’s desperate for an artist to go on those shows. Especially for someone like George that’s had SO MUCH to say about shows like this. But, I guess when you have a year-old single to promote, anything goes.

*rolleyes*

Male professionals Saturday, Oct 10 2009

Some years ago someone told me that his friends – all doctors – are being dickheads at work. That they talk about a thing they call TUBE and during lunch discuss how many TUBEs they’ve done so far that day. So, what’s a TUBE?

Totally Unnecessary Breast Examinations.

“Got a painful knee? OK, take your top off and I’ll take a look”?! People that are supposed to be professional, just aren’t. The question on my mind here is a bit, I guess, controversial:
- Can you ever trust a man to be professional around women?

Based on the story above, the answer to that is clearly no. Are all men like that? Clearly not. But what kind of percentage are? The people mentioned above are regular docs. I’m almost afraid to think about what male gynaeocologists talk about over lunch. Moreso: What kind of men pursue a line of work where they spend all day up a crotch and are able to stay professional at all times? I just don’t think it’s possible.

Let’s face it, most men go stupid around attractive women. What if a really pretty woman enters a gynaecologist’s office for a routine check-up and she’s just his type. The type of woman he’d throw a bad line at in a bar and do pretty much anything to fuck. And there he is, she’s in front of him, and she’s gonna undress and show him the goods. I think the whole thing is a bit horrifying, actually. Yuck.

Men don’t automatically stop desiring women just because they’ve gone to school for six years.

The big split? Tuesday, Oct 6 2009

The Mirror has reported that George and Kenny have split up. What I find the most… interesting about this report is where George’s (former?) lowlife of a manager is described as “loyal”. Only Andy himself would describe himself as anything but “asshole”.

According to the report George has now given up fucking random dudes and is playing games online all day instead. Somehow it sounds a bit… unlikely. Why would he give up his favourite pastime? I don’t think it’s all that fact-based, but hey, I could be wrong.

The piece makes Kenny out to be the “suffering wife” when really… who gave a rat’s ass about who Kenny Goss was before he started dating George Michael? Nobody. Well, except maybe Ricky Martin Now people actually know who he is, and some would argue that he’s famous for being (with) someone famous. Kinda like those socialites that are in the media cause their family has money…

But, hey, as long as the “dumping his dickhead of a manager” part is true, he’s better off all round. Other than that, who gives a flyin’ fuck?

Playlist, October Monday, Oct 5 2009

“Rise and shine my eternal day
Don’t you cry on my grave
When they row me to the other side.
I’ll burn my bridges and leave my home
At the end of the winding road.”

Fascinating lyrics.

Mr Dirty Dancing is gone Wednesday, Sep 16 2009

How I remember him

Another one bites the dust…

I think I tackled this subject on the other blog when I heard he was ill. Now he’s gone, and it’s really weird, cause I don’t feel upset about it. I feel that it’s sad that he’s no longer here, obviously, but I’ve known for such a long time and seen how he’s deteriorated in the past six months at least. I can’t help but thinking he’s better off where he is now.Watching the Barbra Walters interview he did in March(?) made it really clear that he’s been suffering. A lot. Just the difference between March and April was pretty scary.

I can’t imagine what his wife of 34 years is going through. She’s never been with anyone else. Met him at 15 and now she’s on her own at 53. Starting afresh after your (soul)mate is gone isn’t easy in any case, but I’m convinced he’s still going to be around her in his way. To make sure nobody puts Lisa in the corner (sorry, couldn’t help myself!).

I remember being about 12 when I saw “Dirty Dancing” for the first time and instantly got the biggest crush on the lead actor, whose name I couldn’t pronounce or write correctly. lol. I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I was quite obsessed with him over the next two years or so. I still recall the shock of finding out that he was 29 years older than me. Father issues, anyone? Which I did have, but unsure if it had anything to do with my crush on Patrick. After all, he was the embodiment of hunk at the time.

I soon enough detatched myself from him and continued with some Greek/English dude called George. You may have heard of him

It’s interesting that everyone I have taken a fancy to, either as men or as performing artists or both, have died young. (“One by one, only the good die young” – Queen) All my childhood heroes, gone. People I’ve discovered in later years, already gone (too soon) by the time I discovered them. I’m gonna take a guess and say that their early passings have nothing to do with me taking a shining to them, but one could ask what attracts me to people that “have it in them” to go too soon? I still haven’t seen anyone with a candle that burns in both ends hanging over their heads…

Oh well. As a friend of mine said: “Most people don’t leave much of great significance behind when they go. Look at these guys and everything they’ve left behind for the world to remember.”

First assignment completed Thursday, Sep 3 2009

I’m going to be completely honest here: I’ve never thought of myself as smart/clever/whatever when it comes to studying. Ever. And I’ve just taken on a f-ing hard course of medicine. Yeah, really clever. (See, just proved my point!)

I think I have the ability to use my head for more practical things, that aren’t necessarily related to sticking my head in a book.

At school I sucked. I did. You should have seen my grades. Partly because I was sick and tired of school after 12 years of it, partly because of a certain level of incompetence in certain teachers (eg English teacher that had never been to England… Norwegian teacher that didn’t understand sarcasm and irony… Maths teacher that had downgraded from being a University professor and taught us the same way – 90% failed maths that year.)

Anyway. Back to my point. For the course I’m taking we’re meant to hand in three papers per month from three different subjects (anatomy, pathology, various) and if you don’t do it right, you get to do them again. For the past two weeks I’ve been waiting impatiently for the response to my first hand-in. Was gonna get a response “within 1-2 weeks” and it was getting onto the beginning of week 3.

Checked right now and got the following comment:

APPROVED
Tutor’s comment:
You’ve handed in an excellent paper and worked very well with the material.

Now if you’ll excuse me for a moment, I need to celebrate that I – for once – had the word “excellent” written about something I did at school
