The Jamie Foxx Paradox

Alisha and I watched The Kingdom the other night and it got me thinking.  Is it just me, or do you guys kinda find it hard to hate Jamie Foxx?  I think I hate him.....I'm pretty sure I hate him....Do I really hate him?  I have seen and read interviews with him and I can't stand to listen to his arrogance.  As a human being, I think he is an ultra prick.  Why does he have to be so talented??  He can sing, dance, and act better than 99 percent of all earthlings and he is also really funny.  These things being true, he is a reverse racist arrogant asshole off of the silver screen.  I understand his feeling against white people and frankly we deserve it, but we just want to love your films and music.  I have similar feelings about him as I do about a number of fictional characters.  Ben on Lost, come on! You know you want him dead, but you can't possibly imagine the show without him.  The Others without Ben are like the Vikings without All-Day.  I don't like Prison Break (never missed a frame of the entire series) but I couldn't watch the show without T-Bag.  They ridiculously brought him with to the prison in Panama and I let it slide because I love to hate him.  How can you not love a guy who made a Vet sew his hand back on?  These characters are to my fictional world what Jamie Foxx is to my real world.   I will see everything that he is in, but afterward I will murmur under my breath about how much he bugs me while kicking my empty 72 ounce cup of soda.  So please contribute other both real and fictional characters in your eyes that fit what I like to call the Jamie Foxx Paradox.  To me, he is the real life Sylar.

If the number 13 is unlucky, then I think 12 and 14 are guilty by association.  I also think the letter B is unlucky because it's basically just a smooshed together 13.

I find myself losing sleep thinking about how ugly Jamie Foxx would be if he was white.

The show October Road is my Jamie Foxx. I hate that show (at least I THINK I hate that show), but I can't stop watching it. It hypnotizes me with its shittiness, but it's still being aired so it must be good, right?

I couldnt stick with October Road. Unscripted on HBO ruined Bryan Greenberg for me.

I hate two people right now:

Zach Braff and Diablo Cody.

Diablo Cody is mostly a jealously/possible-love-and-future-sugar-momma thing.

Zach Braff is a giant emo douche that thinks he discovered the Shins, and yet, I still watch Scrubs and own a copy of Garden State, but that's only so I can pinpoint precise moments to illustrate the suck that is the Braff.

Fuckin' Zach Braff.

Anyone who is associated with The Todd is ok by me.

Zach Braff knows the todd, therefore, zach braff = ok.

This thought process is yet to fail me in life.
