freakin' on: saint-tropez

i'm a tad embarrassed to be posting about this when the world is totally and completely fucked, but i was totally shocked to find myself actually feeling a smidge jealous of tara reid's st. tropez adventure.

i believe there have now been 4 episodes of my new favorite show so far, and this one was by far the best. tara was the drunkest yet, the sluttiest yet and this episode had the most celebrities yet. now don't get me wrong, tara is a nearly-completely reprehensible human being (i say nearly, because i do think she may mean well in some circumstances), but i actually found myself envying her on this one.

st. tropez appears to be spring break for the rich and beautiful. we're not talking plain old rich and beautiful... we're talking REALLY FUCKING RICH AND BEAUTIFUL. granted, not everyone is THAT beautiful when you take off the makeup, but everyone gives of the appearance of beauty that only a rigorous schedule of spa treatments and bevy of trainers and stylists can construct.

anyway, i feel very conflicted by this scene. on one hand, i see these people having the time of anyone's life. crazy-awesome beaches, expensive food and wine, beautiful hotels/restaurants/clubs, etc. all these people have bottomless expendable budgets and seemingly no responsibilities. who wouldn't want that? it looks amazing.

on the other hand... i hate these people. they all look like total fucking idiots. many remind me of people i have hung out with in the past who don't converse but instead blabber inanely. then i have to check myself... do i hate these people out of jealousy? do i wish that my life were so simple that all i had to worry about was handbags and what club to go to? i don't know... i truly don't.

i really value people who are intelligent and introspective. i like hearing people's opinions on religion, politics, relationships... life in general. and what i really like is when those opinions are OPINIONATED! what's tara reid's opinion on the world?

I wish all the mean people, if you want to be mean to each other, just buy a country together and blow each other up. Then we'd have no terrorists left. Like, don't kill innocent people for no reason. It's not fair. We love everybody. We'd even like them if they said they're sorry. It's not fair that innocent people are getting hurt. It makes me sad.

hmmm.
