			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay, so I’m not a parent but I have read a lot of parenting magazines and have watched a lot of family movies and learned from what they were mostly doing wrong. (aka, neglecting their kids, not noticing that their kids are doing dangerous stuff without knowing, not recognizing something obvious, you know) But this just takes the cake of mostly everything, a mother “Nadya Suleman” who has had birth to eight children is getting all the publicity and it’s mostly negative. For a mom to have birth and then have to take care of eight babies, that’s amazing in my book and makes her an even more respectable parent in everybody’s eyes, being able to take care of eight kids and all. But all she’s been getting is lots of hate, and all because of her seemingly unnatural birthing of eight children.</p>
<p>Ever since she’s birthed those kids, she has received a lot of problems. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,500547,00.html" target="_blank">Like her hospital Kaiser Permanente withholding her babies</a>, <a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090213/ap_on_re_us/octuplets" target="_blank">the many death threats she’s recieved</a>, <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/25/octomom-nadya-suleman-porn/" target="_blank">an offer to star in a pornographic movie</a> and a combating offer <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2009/02/25/octos-new-option-porn-or-diapers/" target="_blank">not to star in a porno for diapers</a> then rejecting it for the morality of her children. All in all, she’s doing well for a mom who’s getting a lot of hate on the internet, in real life, basically everywhere. She’s been getting a lot of offers such as free daycare, medical insurance, a house, that sort of thing, but she’s surprisingly rejected most of those offers. For a mom who’s children will cost her a lot of money to take care of, she’s willing to do all of the parenting and with the support of her family as well, and let’s face it. Isn’t family the only thing you can turn to?</p>
<p>Still, why is she getting all this hate? Why is everybody hating on a single woman who’s had octuplets getting so much hate from everybody, why is everybody hating her because she has chosen some insane choices that she had made. Everybody is free to make their own choices, whether or not they have a plan for what insane decision that they might but I’m sure that she has a plan for supporting her octuplets in the near future, that’s what everybody dreams about, making choices without worrying about the public ridiculing every moment and every decision that you might make. Though in this day of age, the nature of the internet can be rather insulting, with people either making one sided insults, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wujlieYG47s" target="_blank">making stupid parodies</a>, or giving an honest opinion on this situation.</p>
<p>Seriously, she’s trying to raise eight kids, eight. You know not many people know how lucky she is that all of her kids are alive and well and didn’t die from complications. She’s trying her best to raise her children in a positive environment, trying her best to wan off any criticisms of her, trying her best to be a single mom with eight kids and no dad to raise them all, trying her best not to get forced onto the streets due to failing to pay her bills with her having money issues and the recession hitting hard. You’re treating this person like Britney Spears and I’m not acting like Chris Crocker in that I’m going to breakdown and yell out something over the treatment of this woman. I’m just giving my opinion from a parental point of view, but seriously…</p>
<p>I hope that she gets through it okay, I also hope she gets a potential 2-story middle class house and gives the best available life to her kids and I hope that the public stops overreacting and giving her a negative image because I’d know that she’d be a good parent based on the fact that she’s currently doing a decent job taking care of her eight children, holding each one of them for various amounts of time and making sure every one gets an equal amount of love. I also hope that her scholarship goes well since she’s been planning to go back to school, a wise choice, not one person could know enough and learning everything could give her an advantage. Still, I just wish that TMZ and mostly every other gossip site stop hating on her and go back to what they do best, dishing the dirt on celebrities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hmmm… I wonder what happened to them? They used to be such a lively couple. Performing together, creating songs and remixes about each other, being covered in nearly every celebrity gossip site there is, releasing really great albums. But what happened a few days ago really set their careers on a really steep slope and a huge amount of fallout for both stars. No seriously, Chris Brown’s having his endorsement deals suspended, his music pulled, his Sesame Street episode pulled indefinitely and on top of that, he’s a walking dead man with Jay-Z threatening to beat up Chris Brown if the story is true. Rihanna’s canceling her concerts and performances all for the sake of issues she had with her previous encounter. Not only that, but I think they might of broken off the engagement, with the two sort of on edge. Who could of known how this could of happened, how it all broke down within a few days before the Grammys.</p>
<p>According to various news sources (including TMZ) Rihanna and Chris Brown got into a fight that was probably started by a text message, their jealousy, or any other related factor that might of pushed him to the edge. Anyways, I’ve heard that Rihanna suffered some burses, bite marks, some possibly nasty stuff and according to her, it’s not the first time that’s happened as she’s been abused many times before by him, it’s kind of sad when they try to keep up that dream couple feeling when it’ll eventually go down in flames. So afterwards, Chris Brown turned himself in and that’s where the downward spiral begin. When he was released, he traveled in a black SUV heading for home and Rihanna, well she had to make some sacrifices since she was in that incident. That’s a summary of what has happened and what is happening now as we speak. Even now, MTV is planning to air a documentary type show that’ll analyze every aspect of their relationship as well as milk a lot of money off of this.</p>
<p>I feel bad for both of them, but especially Rihanna since she’s the one who suffered a lot (not numerically but emotionally and physically). I wonder what happened to Chris Brown, he’s a great R&amp;B star (even though I don’t know him personally), the self proclaimed future of R&amp;B and known for his mix of Usher and Michael Jackson (particularly Michael Jackson). He’s released 2 albums which spawned a plethora of hits, he’s become a superstar in his own right and he has been known to be madly in love with Rihanna, propounding his love every which way, including having a fight with T.I. over Rihanna. But why did he have to keep this dream romance together, especially considering the fact that mostly these romances have a 10% chance of succeeding. I feel that he tried to keep too tight of a leash on her, I feel that his jealousy over that text message was a bit over the edge and trying to keep him and her happy just doesn’t work well if you don’t match up that well, just look at Mariah Carey and Tommy Mottola’s marrige.</p>
<p>But Rihanna, she’s suffered the worst. Receiving really physical abuse from her former boyfriend Chris Brown over jealousy and wanting to have possibly a perfect marriage, physical wounds heal but I don’t think her mental ones will heal at all, ever. This is the downside from men trying to be the superior being over woman and trying to control everything in their life, and trying to beat their woman so that they’d support their man better, abuse is not the way to go when trying to make a perfect relationship. That’s why most people are in jail right now, because they can’t control themselves. Seriously, The girl who’s released 3 chart-topping albums and we can’t forget about “Disturbia” written by Chris Brown. Still, sad to see her get straight into a situation that she couldn’t get away from and for Chris Brown, he couldn’t even get out of. Having a man abuse a woman just isn’t right and in their cases, it’s kind of disturbing.</p>
<p>Still, I wish the both the best of luck on trying to resolve their now persistent issues. Because most people do not like to see their career and their life destroyed in the process. Sure Chris Brown might of lost every bit of his endorsement, fame, and recognition and Rihanna might of lost some of her self consciousness, and what he did to her was wrong but people need to forgive right? Even though Chris Brown won’t be able to get Rihanna back as her girlfriend now. Also some of you may note that I’ve become inactive recently or I have stopped updating my blog regularly. Well just to let you know that I’m not dead and I am still taking a break and thinking about some things. This break has really proven to be essential as it allowed me to view things into perspective and don’t worry, I’ll be back posting updates on a regular basis and interacting with you guys again. I don’t know when that’s going to be exactly but hey, keep waiting, I’ll pop up eventually.</p>
