The Irony/ Stupidity of Youth

It was 6 in the morning, and I was up early with my 6 month old. It was my wife's birthday, but she was so physically down from chemotherapy that she literally could not move. I was pondering life, flicking through the channels, when I got to MTV and saw Ashlee Simpson's new video.

For anyone who does not know, the album is called "I am me". The title track features the chorus "I am me...I won't change for anyone...Why would I". I had my back to the ridiculous video that was playing, working on the computer and listening for my youngest son. When I turned around, I saw the video...

Ashlee Simpson got a nose job.

There is a special kind of stupid that can only be found in entertainment. Suddenly, all the problems in my little world felt a little better.
