These are some gifts I would have delivered...
Lindsay Lohan: Her own island. If she has her own island, there is no reason for her to own a car. So she can be as drunk as she wants whenever she wants.
PBS: Commercials. It's the 21st century. Adapt.
George Lucas: a Neurolizer
Wiz Khalifa: a new hometown. Seriously, how many of you Pittsburghers out there actually claim Wiz as one of us?
Tingles Matthews: some Ben Gay to help whatever is ailing that leg
Chris Brown: Three rounds with Wladimir Klitschko. Go ahead Chris, throw a punch now.
UAW: A bill for the money lost on the GM bailout
Rachel Maddow: I can't be mean on Christmas... on to the next one
New York City: A new mayor
Taylor Swift: relationship counseling
Nicolas Cage: A good script.
Ron Paul: an apology from the RNC
I hope you all had a great Christmas and got everything you wanted!

Talented People Make Me Sad
Everytime I see talented people do something stupid it pisses me off. That being said, it's time for me ot vent on a few recent incidents involving talented people.
Let's start with Drake and Chris Brown. This two idiots ignited a brawl, complete with bottle throwing, at New York City's SoHo nightclub. The brawl reportedly began when Drake began taunting Chris Brown about having a sexual relationship with Brown's ex, Rihanna. (A claim which Rihanna has since denied.) So this brawl began over a woman. Now is it just me or isn't fighting over a girl supposed to stop after high school? And really, what the hell is Chris Brown doing even mentioning Rihanna's name? He gave up that privilege (and his man card) when he beat up Rihanna in February of 2009. He eventually plead guilty to felony assault and was sentenced to five years probabtion. The incident has hurt his album sales but he did win his first Grammy for best R&B album in 2012.
Drake was reported to be the insitgator of this brawl. The Grammy nominated singer reportedly spotted Brown just before SoHo's closing time and taunted him with the words "I'm fucking the girl of your dreams. Deal with it.". Yeah, juvenille and totally unnecessary. I don't want to promote stereotypes about the hip-hop culture, but you never hear about this childish crap happening with country or metal singers. Just sayin...
WWE superstar Randy Orton received his second suspension for violation of the company's wellness policy at the end of May. Orton reported tested positive for the orally-ingested steroid Dianabol, a report neither confirmed nor denied by the company. (Dianabol was made illegal by the Controlled Substances Act.) Randy Orton has already established himself as one of the top heels in the company and over the past year has worked to also establish himself as a top babyface. Only the greatest of all time have succeeeded as both a heel and a babyface, with Hulk Hogan, Triple H and Shawn Michaels being a few of the biggest names to do it. Orton was setting himself up to be on the same level as those three.
However with this suspension, it leaves Orton with one more strike and eight years left on his contract with WWE. It puts WWE in a tough position from a creative standpoint because it will be difficult to insert Orton into long-term, high-profile storylines because one more violation of the wellness policy and Orton will be fired from the company. It's also difficult for WWE to use Orton as a midcard wrestler and supporting role in major storylines due to his high level of talent and large contract. Both sides are now backed into a corner because of Orton's poor judgment.
I can't say what I would trade to have the vocal talent of Drake or Chris Brown. I can't imagine having the athletic ability and charisma of Randy Orton. But when I see people with that kind of talent do dumb shit it actually makes me sad. I'm not complaining about my life but if I could trade sitting in a cubicle five days a week for performing in a WWE ring I would do it in a heartbeat.
It is time for celebrities to start respecting their talent and stop acting like fools.
