This is where I tip the scales

of sanity.

Again, another video featuring Brad Renfro. I wonder how many years I'll do this.. I aaaaaaaalways posted on his bday, same w/ 311 day.. Old habits die hard. I mean, c'mon.. I was subscribed online to his local Knoxville newspaper, just b/c...

Grr.. I dredged up some good articles, pics etc for today.. Just distributing them @ random.. Prob only have one more blog in me before I want to shoot myself in the face.

Dennis Bowman, the former D.A.R.E. officer who discovered Brad, told the Knoxville News Sentinel (the one I was sub'd to, lol),

“With all the other problems he had, I can’t say I was dumbfounded (at his death). I told everybody in 1993, `This will either be the best thing or the worst thing for Brad. Time will tell.’ I guess it told today.”

Whiiiiiiiiich is exactly what I said about wishing he'd never become famous in the first place, etc. Minus the fact that I would've had to obsess over someone else. Silverchair broke in the US noooot too long after that whole thing started so I would've had Daniel Johns either way, haha.

He could've lived forever and a day, what the fuck! And they always say that it's worse for someone who's kicked a drug like heroin to do it again even once after they're clean b/c it's suuuuch a shock to the system. His body just couldn't handle that shit no more, so it kicked FOR him. Unfortunately it was more like when you go to the bathroom and someone grabs the controller while you're gone and says you can't play anymore.

Shitty!

But hey, such is life.

And death.



[Looooove this video, btw. Brad and Pharrell, oh my! See? HE HAD A VIRGINIAN CONNECTION. IT WAS MEANT TO BE, HE JUST FUCKED IT ALL UP!]
