I aint got the time....
[Read the article: Flirting with disaster]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]nor the patience for these lame theatrics anymore. I was impressed with Winehouse at first. Recently, after enduring her through one stupid choice after another and seemingly never suffering true consequences I no longer find anything about her worth my time and assuredly not my money. Dear Amy.... Damn bitch, did you just take all this success and money and shove it up your nose and give it away to an abusive arse who is OBVIOUSLY using you? Damn bitch, do you know how many truly talented artists still fighting for an opportunity to prove themselves would kill for what you have right now yet we are supposed to believe that your addictions and your wasting your life IS your art? Why we waste more time giving credence to yet another fucked up narcissistic baby with with a trendy (or is it artistic? Yeah, right) substance abuse problem (that most people would have had their entire livelihoods removed from them until they got there real life shit together)is beyond my understanding. We seem to honor stupidity these days as if it was something profound. Why else would people like Brittany, Lindsay and now Amy get so much attention and press for being essentially major friggin losers who cant keep their shit together? I'm bored with it and no longer will support ANYONE if they chose to squander what they have. Hey Amy, Id love a chance at having people love and admire my work. I would love to make so much money I could just help every one in my life that I love and finally give myself the things in life I have always wanted as well. Id love a chance to make a statement to the world. Hey Amy....You cant be a music legend when you don't even respect the gift of music. Maybe if we start treating these idiots the way they seem to want to be treated (they treat themselves like shit we should do so as well) they will go away and leave room for those who will return the investment we make on them. Its sad, I really thought she had something worthwhile to offer at first. Too bad she doesn't agree. Just too bad.

People I wouldnt even want to sit next to on a bus
[Read the article: I secretly hate myself]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Thats how I feel about some family members. Thankfully not my immediate family but there are days. This is radical but why not just "divorce" them and move on with your life? Ah, indeed we all are convinced we just MUST continue these toxic relationships forever because they are family but damn isn't life too short to waste on people who don't seem to care about you? What are they gonna do to you if you just leave them? Make you feel guilty or bad? Seems like that has already been done. Some people...um, really many people not only have children (or adopt them) for the entirely wrong reasons but realistically should have never become parents at all. You can spend a lifetime blaming them and fretting about the relationship or you can move on and fill your life with people who matter...that is people who think you matter too. I love this from Dr. Seuss ~Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Im biased for sure...
[Read the article: Cops arrested my partner for felony heroin possession]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]having survived with that crazy hope that an addict would want to recover and want to make our life together work. He had to almost lose everything first to even begin to admit he had a problem. Imagine hearing "I'm not an alcoholic. I just have a drinking problem" from a man with a genius I.Q and a commercial pilot as well. I nearly was killed several times and contended with the police coming to visit him for his road rage (while drunk, of course) and a host of other undesirable activities he decided he "needed" to cope (Somehow "dating" other women in cyberspace gave him a confidence boost my love and support and I DO mean support as in all the bills were covered by me....yeah stupid, real stupid...yeah me stupid I admit..never could fill his self imposed "void"). It took me FAR too long and cost me WAY too much in ALL ways to learn this lesson. Addicts are selfish and no matter how much you think you love them that will NEVER be enough for them to change and sad to say its just NOT a common story to hear about the people who stood by and were rewarded with the new improved and deliriously thankful ex addict in their lives living happily ever after. I say RUN RUN RUN and don't look back. Life is too short to get caught up in the disaster these people CHOOSE to make their lives (Yeah I am SICK to death of the sickness of addiction.........at some point they ARE making a choice to fail...good riddance!!!!!!) By the way, I moved on...it was one of the hardest things I ever did and I admit it wasn't easy and I made a fool of myself in the process but ooooooooh baby it was the best choice I ever made!!! I met someone that is beyond my wildest dreams...my perfect partner. I would have never had this kind of joy in my life if I had stayed beside the poor addict who just couldn't get it together. Im sick of trying to help the wounded and emotionally disabled and all for healthy, positive, forward thinkers who know how to live fully in the now. The fact that there is a kid involved is even more reason for her to get away from a terrible influence on her and her childs life. After what I endured and beheld I can say that these people are just whiny, weak, selfish losers who just don't deserve what anyone tries to give them. Bitter? No..I'm WISE and VERY VERY HAPPY now and thats everything.
