Celebrity Kids and Your Kids

With all of the controversy over the Miley Cyrus’s bare back and shoulders being photographed I wonder if we ever stopped to think what we are doing to her as a kid? Yes, she is a superstar Disney hit worth half a billion and on track to be a billionaire by the end of the year, but she is still a fifteen year old girl.
I understand the brand issues at stake here. I use my own name on my blogs and when I comment elsewhere. I have to be careful what I say because it is out there for everyone to see. That is part of the problem for her. She is in fact two brands, Hannah Montana the wholesome Disney girl, Miley Cyrus, a budding starlet. On top of that she is a fifteen year old girl who like most fifteen year olds is trying to figure out who she is.

American Idol Final Five

Neil Diamond week. Here we go. Two songs each tonight.
David Cook: “I'm Alive”, a return the rocker Cook. As a Neil fan, I must admit not knowing this one. But it's hot. “All Really I Need is You”, this might be his version of the power ballad, it's okay.
Brooke: “I'm a Believer”, weak beginning. She does a country spin which is interesting, but I'm not sure I like it. “I Am I Said”, nice job, and that's pretty much all I have to say.
David Archuleta: “Sweet Caroline”, I can't find the words to describe this, and that's not in a good way. “America”, this is my favorite Neil song. NO from the start. It's supposed to start out soft and then go strong and he's strong from the start. Just NO all over because otherwise I'd be flaily all over.
Syesha: “Hello Again”, a very nice, understated version. “Thank the Lord for the Nighttime”, a very gospel tinged version that kind of rocked. I liked it.
Thanks *HUGS*

What are you expecting as a new dad? I am not sure what to expect, except I know that I will be giving up any chance of getting out of the house and continue on with my life for another six or seven years. It is the reality of our situation, I have disability income for all my various ills and injuries, and Katy doesn’t so I am the logical choice as primary care giver for the kids. I hate it and am resentful of it almost every day, but I do it because as a responsible parent you have to give up what you want a good part of the time to make sure your kids are taken care of.
So what am I expecting this time that will be different? Well unless the economy turns around and Katy can find a good job, any job she has will leave us getting social services including insurance, which will be different for me. Not having insurance for nearly seven years is what let me get as bad off as I did in the first place. I am also older, wiser, and have a more defined career path that works with staying at home. Writing and blogging aren’t considered “real work” by the bureaucrats so profits generated only have to be reported as made, but not income earned. The IRS takes a different view, but with two kids it should work to our benefit.
