And the Winner Is... Johnny Depp!

 


Johnny Depp has always been one of my favorite actors, hasn’t won an Oscar for acting but he’s a great actor, always making his characters memorable and entertaining (Mad Hatter, Sweeny Todd, Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka to name a few), and he’s been nominated a few times so no one could say he’s a patsy when it comes to acting.

Today, he won his three defamation cases against his ex-wife, actress Amber Heard, who won just one of her counterclaims. Both accuse each other of being abusive (emotionally and physically) and his victory means that the jury believes that between the two, Miss Heard was the more abusive and more violent. If this was a movie, Mr. Depp would be the hero and Miss Heard, the villain. He claimed that she ruined his life and career. But today, with his victory, he was hoping to regain everything he lost.

So what are the lessons we can learn here from their court battles? One, you must choose well when it comes to the person you will love, choose one that will not attempt to destroy your career and your life. I am almost tempted to say that men must steer clear of extremely pretty women like Miss Heard, but that would be senseless as there are nice pretty people and wicked ugly ones.  So, how to avoid career-and-life-ruining relationships?  I really don’t know. Love (one that is genuine) makes you blind, so they say, so some red flags are usually ignored. Authentic love is fearless and hopeful; fake, shallow love is a scaredy cat and selfish.

Just make sure that when those red flags really start manifesting (like the partner starts hurting you not only emotionally but physically or some cheating is going on), you make sure that you get off the relationship real quick.

A partner that punches you and enjoys seeing you bleed is, well, not really an ideal partner.

"Hey, This Song Has Built A House Inside My Head!"

Image
If you'd notice, I'd put a little musical thingamajig somewhere on this blog and I called it Last Song Syndrome. Last Song Syndrome, of course, happens when a song you just heard refuses to leave your mind for hours or even for days. You sing it or hum it while working or while taking a bath or changing your baby's or your granddad's diaper or taking your dog for a walk or just bumming around. I listen to a lot of Pink Floyd songs so most often than not, it is a Pink Floyd song that will always swirl inside my head. But I also listen to other musicians. I'll try to dissect and write a small background of every song that I will feature in this blog. The Final Cut is one of my fave Pink Floyd songs. Very emotional, very depressing and has great vocals by Roger Waters , it is one of the songs from the album The Final Cut (an anti-war CD that was released in 1983), the last album where Roger Waters (Pink Floyd's main songwriter) took part in. After that album, Water...

AND HERE'S SOME BAD NEWS...

Image
Seventeen years ago, Maureen Hultman, 16 years old, Roland John Chapman, 21 and Jussi Olavi Leino, 24, were returning home from a party when they were accosted and confronted by Claudio Teehankee Jr, 45. Teehankee, who was unknown to the three, demanded some identification. Leino took out his wallet and showed Teehankee an ID. Chapman approached them and asked Teehankee: “Why are you bothering us?” Teehankee drew out his gun and shot Chapman in the chest. “Why did you shoot me?” Chapman asked Teehankee as he was crumpling to the ground. Chapman died on the spot. Teehankee then ordered the now hysterical Hultman and Leino to sit together on the sidewalk. While seated, unarmed and begging for mercy, the two were gunned down by Teehankee. Hultman was killed while Leino survived and later identified Teehankee as the gunman. The nation was enraged with that senseless crime and demanded that the death penalty be restored. Teehankee was sentenced to one count of reclusion perpetua (ranging f...
