I was one of the last 3 standing in a spelling bee when I was in third grade. We had an experimental split class of both third and fourth graders being taught in the same class room. So, I was feeling pretty good at that point, having watched many 4th graders take a seat after a misspelled word. They gave me the word lightning to spell. I spelled it lightening. I sat down in humiliation.

I was in a combined class 4th/5th grades, when I went to 5th grade I felt like "not this **** again".

You’re in trouble my man. It’s the short term memory that goes first. But fear not, you’re in good company! I can’t remember what I walked upstairs to retrieve 22 seconds after thinking, oh..I need to go get X.

If I had known how bad it was going to be for me , I wouldn’t have done all those drugs, drank all that alcohol and cavorted with those wild women .

Welp ... there went my New Years resolution on telling lies .

I thought he was just trying to be funny, but if he genuinely doesn't like actors, actresses, directors and producers or approve of the way they accept awards, then why was he hosting The Golden Globes Awards show in the first place? And why tell them all to "f*** off"? He was the host, and should know better than anyone that it will just have to be censored anyway... so what was the point of saying it? It also seemed a little disrespectful to the people who paid him. He was paid by NBC to be there. They pretty much only have one rule... Don't cuss.

Also, I don't care about him telling a crowd full of rich people that they are in no position to lecture anyone... but as to whether or not they "know nothing about the real world"? Well, that depends on who he was talking about. They do not all come from privileged backgrounds, and it's wrong to make such a blanket statement to an entire crowd of people. Some of those people came from nothing and truly are self-made. I would cite Jennifer Lawrence's upbringing as an example of this.
