Train wreck alert!
I’m embarrassed to admit this. I really am. But… I’m on the drug too. The Charlie Sheen drug.
The Charlie Sheen slow-motion train wreck has captured my attention and I’m not exactly sure why. I don’t watch his TV show, feel no connection at all, and really don’t think he is an especially talented actor. Certainly not the caliber of his father. Perhaps its the anticipation of what he may say next. Or maybe its waiting to see who comes out next to support him. Thank God for friends like Mel Gibson. A real stand up guy who obviously has Charlie’s best interest in mind. It just adds to the freak show. Maybe Lindsey will step up for Charlie too?
No, for me I think it’s more the astonishment. The astonishment that Charlie Sheen, is a famous actor, and ultimately just a person like you and me (but with a lot more money), yet no one can help him. Scenarios like this happen every day to non-famous people and often end in tragedy. The Charlie Sheen tragedy is being played out on every tabloid and news media with what seems to be hourly updates and no one can seem to help.
I really don’t want to sound like a “bleeding heart” but this all says to me that there is something wrong with the system if this can happen every day and more often than not ends in tragedy. Read more
