Fame

Jim and I were talking before we went to sleep, as we often do...

One thing that keeps coming to my mind is that fame is great, and can allow you to live a life of luxury and wealth... but I think fame should come with a black box warning label.

It seems to me that fame somehow buys you enablers, and buys you the right to either not listen to anyone who has your best interests at heart, or maybe people around you just stop telling you when you are messing up?

I was saying to Jimbo that maybe once you make so much money that all of the people around you are paid by you... and since they are your meal ticket, you just "look the other way" on things that, in any other situation, and with anyone else, you would take a hard line and do as much as possible to help that person get back on track..

I guess it is probably easy to tell that I am referring to Britney Spears. But there are so many out there... Anna Nichole Smith was another... and I am sure there are tons of them.... people who have so much money and "power" that no one feels ok with telling them there are lines that you should not cross, and tell them when they need help.

I guess fame should come with a warning label.. I guess for me, I better just start buying lottery tickets, and make my millions that way (lol) I hear you have to actually BUY the tickets in order to win :)

I hope that all who are famous can find just one person they can listen to, confide in, and trust to tell them when they are not on the right track.. heck, push their butt back to the right track!!!!!

Oh, and as a post script... I need to stop reading celebrity "news"... gossip can NOT be good for ya to be reading... call me curious I guess... seeing how the "other half" lives...

And, PPS.. a special thank you to Jimbo, and the people in my life that keep me normalized, tell me when I am being crazy, and loving me through it all!!! PRICELESS
