Tomorrow everyone who cares will be talking and writing about whatever happened (or didn't) in the first Obama-Romney debate of the season. I'll be happy to toss my thoughts into the mix as another voice from the Underworld Of Little Blogs sniffing at the heels of The Big Blogs where some writers make even less sense than I do at times.
Instead, a break from war and political subjects feels best for me this morning, and is a light break I will continue at least once a week, especially now that it's been reported that The Beater, supposed "Singer/Rapper" Chris Brown, and his former Victim, the once-admired Rihanna, had sex in the bathroom of a club in NYC yesterday way-early morning. Hey, it's been going on elsewhere for (probably) a year. This time, however, neither chose to hide what almost everyone has suspected or known: they Just Cain't Quit Each Other! And, naturally, nothing says LOVE more than sex in a Club Bathroom! How edgy! How 1980's of them.
Why does it matter to anyone other than the participants? It's Rihanna's choice to do whatever she wants to do with whomever she chooses. Right? Not according to anyone who is concerned about Battered Women and the classic addiction to self-destructive relationships. Celebrity Blogs are abuzz with the information, and the comments on many of them reflect how upset women are that Brown has barely shown sincere remorse for making Rihanna's face look like a Scary Bloody Halloween Mask three years ago and that she has "forgiven" him. The consensus is that Rihanna is "trash" personified, or "deluded" to return to a man many people believe will kill her one day.
Perhaps Almost-Public-Sex could save her from that fate, thus we might want to reconsider judging her for the bathroom romp. Nevertheless, it's once again Human Nature at the center of this reunion. Something strong (sex perhaps – cough) keeps circling both of their lives in a fiery dance of chance to get back together. As many have said over the past few months when the hints began slipping-out that something was going on between them, it's almost Ike and Tina Turner all over again – without the marriage. And no one liked it when Ike beat the sheet out of Tina for years until she finally fled Ike's ire, running away on her lovely legs to a very successful solo career.
In fact, it works for me that Ike and Tina are the examples most people are using in conjunction with Rihanna and Brown's possible/probable re-ignition. Why? Because Tina sang it best on "What's Love Got To Do With It." So true. Love has nothing to do with great sex most of the time. (You can quote me on that original thought if you wish.) It's just a second-hand emotion. Obsession and addiction, along with a misguided Sense Of (No) Self-Worth, is what could be at the bottom of Rihanna's choices with regard to any contact with Brown.
But this is where I will stop any preachy kind of writing or finger-wagging at someone who obviously subconsciously isn't afraid of another Whack Upside The Head. You know what "they" say: "The heart wants what the heart wants." In this case, what Brown is carrying below his chest tat's is what Rihanna may want because sometimes that's where some people's hearts beat…as well as the fact that she is young and grew up watching her father pound the crap out of her mother. No excuses here; simply truth. Sometimes we repeat the mistakes and actions (pro or con) of our parents.
Thank God both of mine were excellent dancers.
Stay tuned...
