The Juice

Write a letter to a celebrity to despise.

As I've mentioned before, I have an aversion to celebrities. I just don't buy into their "glamorous" lifestyle and I couldn't care less about what they eat for breakfast. Contemplating this letter I came up with more than one celebrity to write about. Namely, Kanye West and the whole Kardashian/Jenner family. But then I realized that had it not been for one man in particular, these celebutants would not pollute my media platforms so much. So, I give you my next letter. BUT, I will not include a photo of him on account that he doesn't deserve it.

Dear OJ Simpson,

Where do I start? You successfully ruined a lot of things. It is because of you that "paparazzi" is now considered a "job". If you hadn't, how do I put this, got into the legal trouble that you did, not many people would know who Robert Kardashian even was. But, because you needed to hire the Dream Team, Rob K. became a household name. From that stemmed his psychotic, narcissistic, limelight hogging family, who by the way, I can not stand.

It is also because of you that we now have media platforms like TMZ, OK! Magazine, JustJared.com and the king of Hollywood gossip, Perez Hilton. All of their mission in life is to provide adulterated, mind-numbing, pointless celebrity information. Now, it's even spilling over into the actual news shows! Right after I get an update on the Blue Cut Fire I have to endure some lame story about how celebrity X had a nip slip in some West Hollywood restaurant.

I'm also holding you responsible for Kanye West being prominent. Look, Imma let you finish your current jail sentence, but the Menendez brothers had a way more interesting trial than you.

Oh, the awful treatment that Marcia Clark had to endure during your trial, sickening!

Also, the best orange juice I ever drank was in Mykonos, Greece and I didn't think about you once while I drank it because I would never associate something so wonderful and tasty with the likes of you.

Rot in jail.

The island of Delos

We visited the island of Delos, which is one of the most important mythological, historical and archaeological sites in Greece.
On the boat to the island.








 Biggest ant I ever saw!!!

 I spy a white snail.


 The Terrace of the Lions.

 Establishment of the Poseidoiasts.

 There use to be a lake here. That palm tree makes me happy.
 Sacred Way.
 Hanging out at the Temple of Isis.



 These steps lead to the highest point on the island. It takes about 15 minutes to hike up from the bottom.
 Almost there.

 Just a few more steps to go, but look at how far we came!
 Made it! At the top we had a picnic lunch and enjoyed the view.

 Just sitting on the edge of the world.
 Mosaics.
 We had to RUN to get back to the boat before it left. We barely made it!
 I hiked it all in my trusty flip-flops.


 Just hanging out with a pelican.


 Best OJ ever!


 This guy's name is Jonathan. He was the owner of the hotel that we stayed in. Such a nice guy, he gave us great advice and told us where to eat and what sites to see. When we left he said he was going to miss us. He had some great stories. On the first day, after we checked in, he took us to a local spot to eat and had lunch with us.

More Mykonos

Here are some more pictures from my Greece adventure. I think one of my favorite moments on this trip was when we were waiting for the bus and someones dog peed on Beck's foot! Hilarious.








 We found this really cute restaurant overlooking the ocean. Beautiful. And they had the BEST fresh squeezed orange juice I have ever drank. YUM!
 Fish!


 I love sparkles on water from the sun.

 This guy is fishing. Rough life, right?








 We hung out on this beach twice. I swam in the Mediterranean Ocean. It was a little cold at first but once you got used to it, it was nice.



I saw this guy on the side of a taxi and decided that he must be Nemo's emo cousin.
