Okay, I was reading the news online as I tend to do. And there was an article about Sinead O'Connor. Remember her? Irish chick famous for shaving her head and having a really haunting voice.
Also, for tearing up a picture of the Pope on SNL. But for me it was always about her look and her voice. I mean, who has EYES like her? They are so deep and always seem so full of pain.
For reals. Look at those eyes. She was something else, wasn't she?
Seems that she has become a nutbar. A nutbar that loves to tweet. What is it with twitter? I have tried and tried to get the hang of it, and it just doesn't come naturally or easily to me.
Unlike to Sinead. She just tweets and tweets about things I would never expect to find on twitter. Like "Oh, I am miserable and can't wait to die and go to heaven. Someone please send me some info on how to suicide without it being obvious to my kids that is what I did".
Like her kids will never be shown this stuff that she put out in the world? And it got scary enough that people were calling the cops and stuff to go check on her.
Now I know it was years and years ago that the above pictures were taken but I still always picture her like that. So when I was reading the article and there was a picture of some older, fat lady with a Patsy Cline hairdo, it took me a couple of minutes to make the connection.
SINEAD O'CONNOR IS OLD, LIKE ME!
SHE IS OVERWEIGHT, LIKE ME!
Holy shitballs! I am old and overweight, too. o.m.g.
Why does it take seeing someone else and making the connection back to yourself instead of figuring it out when you look in the mirror daily?
You want to see the Sinead picture? You know you do.
Are you as shocked as I was? It's hard to reconcile today's Sinead with the one from 20 years ago.
And that's not fair, is it? Why on earth would I hold her to a higher standard of upkeep than I did my own self? If it's hard on me to maintain the look, the figure, etc. of 20 years ago, imagine how much harder it must be with the pressures of being in the public eye.
So, today I am saying a little prayer that Sinead finds some peace and serenity and quits tweeting bullshit.



DOH!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Sinead has always had a touch of the kookoo.
Bless her heart.
I thought sure you were joking or mistaken with that picture of Sinead. I checked out recent pictures and I don't feel so bad about my weight gain. Well, yes, I do!
ReplyDeleteI thought surely....not sure.
ReplyDeleteLOL (and I know that is a COMPLETELY inappropriate response!). Yeah, I don't get twitter either. at all. I have WAY more to say than can fit into 128 characters or whatever their ridic limit is.
ReplyDeleteI did see that picture of her recently. It's hard to see the pain in her eyes, but I guess now you can see it on twitter!
OMG I would never have thought. But, if I were to hold up a picture of me 20 years ago and one from now.... well, let's not, okay? Anyway, I do hope she finds the peace she needs.
