I am severely annoyed. What is annoying me today? Well... I am incredibly annoyed by Rihanna and Chris Brown. I have to say that they are a couple of total douchebags. I know... I've never met them. But let me explain my feelings.
Chris Brown: I think this one is pretty easy to understand. He is an asshole with anger management issues who beat his girlfriend badly enough to send her to the hospital. That's basically all I need to know. And I have yet to see anything to show that he's even remotely reformed himself. Why should he change when idiotic women tweet things about how they'd take a beating from him if they could have sex with him... sorry, I just threw up in my mouth a little.
Rihanna: Perhaps I should have some sympathy. But I don't. I don't because she keeps going around in interviews talking about how she likes to be submissive and crap in her relationships and in the bedroom... and this is why she goes back to Douche... I mean Chris. I totally get the concept of someone being submissive and liking a dominant partner... but she is a f*cking moron. Wanting to have someone be dominant in the bedroom DOES NOT EQUAL BEING ABUSED. I blame all this stupid "50 Shades of Gray" bullsh*t making the rounds right now. The fictional character of Christian Grey can kiss my ass. Relationships should include trust and safety. AND BEING BEATEN AND SENT TO THE HOSPITAL by a douche canoe isn't safe and it has nothing to do with trust.
Perhaps I am the naive one in the world... thinking that good relationships of any kind... romantic, platonic, familial, whatever... should be about trust and safety. That you should trust the people close to you to look out for you physically, emotionally, and mentally. That you should trust them not to get pissed off and use your face as a punching bag... how selfish of me for liking my face the way it is.
I've been the codependent with a partner who emotionally manipulated me for years... it didn't seem like abuse. It seemed normal. And he wasn't consciously trying to hurt me. But looking back when you start thinking "if they would just hit me... then I could leave" then there is something fundamentally wrong. You are being abused... and you should leave.
So I have some shred of understanding for Rihanna, but I don't have sympathy. I have this sad feeling in the pit of my stomach that we will see her battered face again on TV someday... or worse. I hope not... but it worries me. But her life is her choice. I just wish she'd shut the f*ck up because she has influence on kids... whether she wants it or not it comes with the territory of fame.
I also wish music producers would quit working with them both. Rihanna has like 153 songs on the radio... and every damn one of them is catchy as hell. But I've started boycotting them both. As much as I like the songs... I turn the channel now. I've deleted them from my iTunes. I hear they have a duet coming out. I won't be listening... douchebags.
