Were it not for hearts like mine, calloused thickly, you could fall so easily.

My belly is full.  Uggggghhhh.

Today I happened to catch that Khloe and Lamar show while I was cooking.  I have to admit, I'm a sucker for all things Kardashian.  I was surprised on the severity of some of the issues they touched on.  One thing they dealt with (or more so talked about, not exactly dealt with) was Lamar Odom's relationship with his father.  It was pretty unfortunate to see.  His dad was one of those men who split when he was a child and only showed his face from time to time.  I think they mentioned he struggled with addiction, as well.  Of course, now Lamar has a good amount of money, and this man is quick to ask for a handout.  They actually played phone conversations on several occasions of this man outright telling his son to send him money or take him grocery shopping.  It was really sad.

It makes me wonder, though, what WON'T people put on television these days?  I can understand he probably doesn't have a great relationship with this man.  And who could blame him?  People like that are almost revolting.  (This man was certainly not a victim of poverty.)  And it's one thing to feel that way about your father.  But how could you shame someone like that in front of the entire world?  I feel like no one would deserve that.

(I never know how to end these things.  Conclusions were never my strong suit.)
