Blogging is a funny thing. We become so inundated with information from the news outlets that to sift through everything becomes a task into itself. I envy bloggers that seem to write with such ease and grace I love to write, but do we really need another story on the Charlie Sheen public meltdown?
My boyfriend joked that we are now in Megalomaniac March. By looking at the newspapers and the television over the past week, i have to agree.
Besides the aforementioned Charlie Sheen meltdown, the month of March has seen Gadafi in Libya telling reporters that his people love him and that these riots are all being caused by Al Quaeda, then promptly bombs the $%^&* out of the country, killing the people that he professes that love him. This is a man who was proven to be behind the Lockerbie bombing, yet has been forgiven by the West. The country that he has dictated over for the past 41 years is a big oil producer. Canadian companies have drilling interests there. Since the riots began, the price of crude oil has risen to over $105 a barrel. But the West still continues to put up with him, because he has oil. Canada has much more oil, but because its in the oilsands, it is costlier and does pollute more than drilling in the Middle East. Murderous dictator vs. Global warming....
My solution? tell Gadafi to stuff it, and start exploring more of the oilsands in Canada,and clean up the tailing ponds. Oh wait! The Chinese have been buying up many interests in the Canadian oilsands! And we allow it!? Have we all gone mad? It is a natural resource from Canada. The Chinese have also been questioning Canada's sovereignity in the Arctic. Uhhh NO!
Then there is the drama behind the demise of John Galliano. Brilliant designer who unfortunately was coddled and allowed to run wild for years. One evening he tore into a woman and her companion at a bar in Paris ranting anti Semetic remarks. First off, the fashion business is full of Jewish people so Galliano was shooting himself in the foot. In this day and age, those types of comments don't fly. As any public person should know, whatever you do, you are at risk of being shown on Facebook or YouTube. You are no longer a private person and your life is there for all to see, good or bad. Apparently Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy will be taking over from Galliano at Christan Dior.
My take on this? They are all kakaputzy and should have gone to therapy long ago. Or even better, a good swift kick in the butt. Until someone puts their foot down and says 'STOP', these megalomaniacal characters will continue to flourish. We have seen it for years with Naomi Campbell and her temper, Kate Moss and her drug habit, countless other 'artistes' that just have no clue to what real life is...
