Dumb and Stupid?
I have always said that there is a difference between dumb and stupid. Dumb is not knowing what to do. Stupid is knowing the right thing to do but making the “poor choice” anyway.
The winners for the past couple of weeks are (drum roll please)……
- NBA referee Tim Donaghy for allegedly betting on professional basketball games, being mixed up with the mob and now worried about waking up next to a horse’s head. What a disaster for sports and all the people who pursue victory with honor. Above The Rim Stupid.
- NFL Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Michael Vick charged with dog fighting. Now this one takes the meaning of “bad to the bone” to a whole different level. I don’t know about you but just seeing the photos of those dogs that have been abused by this “sport” and the stories coming out regarding what allegedly happened make me sick. Stay tuned to see what happens when all of the evidence comes out in this case. Sure gets you to step back and evaluate your choices you are making either on your own or on someone else's behalf. A career now literally “gone to the dogs” for reasons I will never understand. Big Time Hail Mary Stupid.
- Hours after a 10-2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, MLB Marlins pitcher Scott Olsen was chased by cops to his home, ran to a lawn chair and refusing to get up when asked to, was tasered when he kicked at officers and arrested, charged with DUI. Now here’s a guy that can use some help. Whatever happened to calling a cab or a limo when you know you’re going to drink? And what does it say about your “friends” who are hanging around with you. Bat To The Head Stupid.
- Lindsay Lohan. Now here’s someone who I just watched on the re-run of the classic movie Parent Trap. This cute little girl that you just want to squeeze everytime you see her on camera. Now this cute older girl you just want to shake. Money, fame, treatment, treatment, most likely jail time, treatment….Holy Cow Batman Type Stupid.
- Britney Spears. Her recent meltdown during her photo shoot with OK! Magazine sure didn’t tell us that she is getting any better. Wiping her greasy fried chicken stained hands on the dress they supplied her along with cleaning up her dogs doo doo with that same dress seals the deal with her stupidity. You Had It All Stupid.
Lots of sad stories BUT always remember that when we hear these stories they are great opportunities for us to know that we can always learn from these people “how not to be.” They are, unfortunately, teachers to all of us of the dangers of alcohol, drugs, stupid choices and hanging around stupid people who don’t really care about you.
