September 11th: Six Years Ago, Just Yesterday 2007-09-11 14:19:00 September 11th, 2001 was a devastating day for myself and every other American. I was a senior in high school at the time and was working at my desk when another student rushed into the room followed by the principle, who hurriedly started plugging in the TV. The principle, normally a very reserved and composed woman with an easy smile, seemed strained and tight as if she were preparing to see the worst. At that point it had seemed like any other day. Once the TV turned on I knew nothing would ever be the same. Eventually the sound of gasps and news commentary began to filter threw the school and soon everyone was congregated in front of the TV watching in horror as the second plane struck the World Trade Center. I felt myself go numb, as if every drop of blood in my body had suddenly been sucked out. I somehow ended up at the front desk, calling my mother. “Mom?” “I’ll be right there.” She semi-croaked and gasped out, obviously aware of what was going on. She had e ...

Something Before Bed 2007-08-28 22:56:00 After all of the storms, literal and figurative, Motiveless Crime is back in action.

Guilty Pleasures 2007-08-28 20:14:00 It has been sometime since Motiveless Crime posted anything. Problems arose when a major storm struck my hometown area and left us without power for a period of time. After that personal issues took control. Right now the blog is in a transition period as we try to figure out how it fits in with the rest of my life and the time that can be applied daily. Without further ado, here is today's Guilty Pleasures.The major story of the week in Hollywood is, of course, Owen Wilson's attempt at suicide. Slightly after noon on Sunday an ambulance was called to Owen's home in Santa Monica. The log for the call has been passed and made public as an attempted suicide.

Guilty Pleasures 2007-08-22 20:41:00 Lindsay Lohan is working in a Utah supermarket. While this may shock some, those of us in the know realize that this is simply a part of her rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse. Lohan was spotted with family in tow wandering the isles of a local supermarket, supposedly not the one she is working at, looking for chocolate. Her mother, brother and little sister all came to see her yesterday and decided to head to a local grocery to get some kicks. While Lohan typically prefers Red Bull and Vodka shooters, she instead opted for some candy. Obviously the visit wasn't to show family support but rather to cause some press to show up. After all, why else would the red-headed stepchild wear all black, as if poking fun at the attempt at a disguise?Lohan has also made news recently when she signed off on an OK! magazine article that is supposed to reveal her time behind bars...I mean, trying to catch up to the wagon....Odd pictures related to the article have surfaced, showing Lohan (ques ...

Guilty Pleasures 2007-08-21 17:45:00 There for a while the celebrity gossip was devoid of Lohan goodness. Then she turned up in a small town in Utah, getting a tan and looking sober. Of course we all know why she is there. Ms. Lohan went on a bender, commandeered an SUV and proceeded to chase after another car and then being arrested and found to have cocaine in her pants. Typical Saturday. But since she reappeared and stepped into the fake sunshine, she has now been spotted all over the place in the Utah wilderness. Apparently Lindsay has reached a point in her rehab cycle where they will allow her to go outside and get some fresh air. She has been spotted biking, running with dogs and even rafting. Of course, during all of this, Lindsay managed to look good and show off the rack.Lindsay is rumored to be sending out word that she would like to get back in the studio for her third album. Obviously this would be the wise choice considering that Hollywood is more than just a little sick of her. Most major studios are probab ...

Keep in mind that the two topics are commonly intertwined but the portrayals here are far more humorous than they probably should be.Whoever planned this display either had a sick sense of humor or is utterly devoid of conscience. Perhaps it was both.Seriously, how do you tell Hitler that he stole your seat? I guess the best way would be to insult human rights...maybe then he would simply give it up out of respect? Same thing with George W. Bush.Check out this site which concerns itself with bad, very, very bad, placements of advertisements on websites.
