On Friday morning, my fiance and I drove to Reno to watch my brother-in-law’s brother play football at University of Nevada at Reno. Because I wanted to treat it like a mini-vacation, even though Reno is like a skankier, more disease-ridden version of Las Vegas, we decided to just enjoy it.. thus, I could not bring myself to post because, after all, it is considered “work.” I kept checking the ‘net from my iPhone (not as cool as you might think it is) and all I was reading was Britney Spears news so I figured I picked a good weekend to get away–I didn’t seem to miss all that much.

Anyway, while I was away this weekend I had an experience that made me think about what celebrities really go through.. and I’m thinking I should go easier on their rich asses. See, my brother-in-law’s brother is the quarterback at UNR and he is already being treated like a celebrity. Granted, someday I think he will be really famous in the NFL or something, right now its just college football. I guess its bigger than I realized, though, because people wait for him to come out of the locker room after the game and they scream his name, beg him for pictures, ask for autographs, and sort of just trail after him. And when he goes out, people stop him for pictures and autographs. That’s probably not even 5% of what its like for huge celebrities, either. Its ruthless, you know? And when you stop and think about it, famous people are just people with lots of money and sometimes talent. Why do we worship them and follow them around? I’m thinking, now, that its all sort of weird. What do you think about paparazzi and media that always surround celebrities?

I’m back just in time for Halloween. I’m hoping for some good Christina Aguilera costume pictures, or maybe even Jennifer Aniston or something. Good Halloween costumes on fun celebrities. I don’t care about Paris Hilton or Lindsay Lohan or even Britney Spears. Just looking to have a quality Halloween!

Oh, and P.S.. the picture in this post is just some guy dressed up like Britney Spears. Accurate though, isn’t it?
