Life of the Rich and Famous

I have yet to find someone who doesn’t want his/her fifteen minutes of fame. Only be careful what you ask for, it might become true.

We have seen so many young and talented people who have ruined their lives after tasting the life of the rich and famous. Many of them can not handle the stress that demands being in the public eye watching everything they do. They don’t have a single second of private time. Paparazzi are their most feared nightmares.

Some of the names that come to my mind are:

1. Britney Spears
2. Anna Nicole Smith
3. Paris Hilton
4. Nicole Richie
5. Lindsay Lohan
6. Amy Winehouse
7. Leif Garrett
8. Todd Bridges
9. Mary-Kate Olsen
10. Dana Plato

Trying to escape their own identities, they plunge into cocaine, alcohol, marijuana, Valium and other toxic substances.

Something that I’ve also noticed about celebrities is how they name their kids. They don’t select names like John, James, Mary or Helen. No, they have to pick the most freakish names that would make their innocent kids blush later on in life.

I’ve selected some of these preposterous names celebrities have come about when naming their children. Take a look.

After seeing this, I’m so glad my parents named me Omar; easy to remember, easy to write and easy to pronounce.

Joke: Like Father, Like Son

Today is Saturday morning. The temperature outside is cool at this time of the year when Panama is in transition from the Rainy Season to the Dry Season. Vegetation is still green and when the sun rays hits it at midday, the green looks even greener. I love it.

As we get into the Dry Season, everything turns brown or black due to the constant wild grass fires. By then, I’m ready for the Rain Season again and so continues the Climate Cycle.

I have my headset on listening to beautiful soft music streaming from AOL radio station- “Escapade”. My mood is so good today, that I’ll drop a cute little joke about heavenly Golf. Can you give me one little smile….. or two? Here we go.

Three gentlemen are golfing one day. They come to a difficult par with a water trap just after the tee. The first golfer hits his ball right into the water. To retrieve it, he approaches the water and extends his golf club. The water parts, he takes his next shot and it lands on the green.

The second golfer hits his ball toward the water, but rather than sink, the ball floats on top of the water. The golfer walks across the water and hits the ball onto the green.

The third golfer hits his the ball directly into the water, where it quickly starts to sink. As the ball sinks, a fish grabs the ball in its mouth. At that very moment, a hawk plucks the fish out of the water and begins to carry it aloft. As the bird soars higher, a bolt of lightning startles the bird, which then drops the fish into a nearby tree. When the fish hits a branch of the tree, the ball pops out, rolls down across the green and right into the hole.

Moses turns to Jesus and says, “You know, I hate golfing with your Father.”

If I got at least a faint smile on your face, I reached my goal. Have a great day!
