Charlie Sheen
The man, the myth, the lunatic genius:
· “I’m not Thomas Jefferson. He was a pussy.”
· “If you borrowed my brain for five seconds, you’d be like, ‘Dude! Can’t handle it, unplug this bastard!’ "It fires in a way that’s maybe not from, uh… this terrestrial realm.”
- "I was banging seven-gram rocks, because that’s how I roll. I have one speed, I have one gear: Go."
- "I am on a drug, it's called Charlie Sheen. It's not available because if you try it you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body."
- "I'm bi-winning."
- “I’m sorry man, I got magic and I’ve got poetry in my fingertips, you know, most of the time, and this includes naps."
- "I will not believe that if I do something then I have to follow a certain path because it was written for normal people. People who aren’t special. People who don’t have tiger blood and Adonis DNA."
- "The run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards, all of them look like droopy-eyed armless children."
- "You can’t process me with a normal brain."
· “Winning”
I was just wondering why I haven’t blogged about Charlie Sheen yet; everyone else has and everyone has an opinion on him. If you haven’t been on the internet or watched TV in 2 weeks I’ll catch you up real fast. Charlie Sheen had an interview with CBS and basically said ridiculous stuff like the quotes I just wrote. He and his wife got a divorce and she got custody of the kids, now he lives with two porn stars, aka “The Goddesses.” Now the debate within me is whether he had a meltdown or epiphany.
He has made staggering amounts of money from Two and a Half Men, which reportedly paid him $1 million an episode. This is more than enough money but what is he doing now? Now Sheen is tweeting company names for money and is even in higher demand for endorsements; he is also webcasting with his “Goddesses” for a ridiculous amount of money. The work to money ratio has shifted drastically. Now he makes a million per Tweet, not per shoot.
So has Charlie Sheen gone insane or is this train wreck just an idea he thought would make him famous his addictions without doing a thing except Tweet 2 words?
Wow, I don’t even know where to start with Charlie Sheen. He has definitely gone crazy, hitting his mid-life crisis a little later than most. But I definitely feel like he has a mental problem rather than put on an act for fame. I feel like no sane person would do what he has done. And it’s a shame that it put him back in the spotlight. I’ve never watched Two and a Half Men, but I always thought he was just an asshole. I never really thought that show was funny in the first place, I was a bigger fan of the Office. Charlie Sheen needs to get his act together before his kids grow up and become too embarrassed to be seen with him because of this phase he’s going through. All those quotes that you listed remind me of someone that is on crack or heroine, aka seriously messed up in their brain. Someone needs to take his twitter away from him, or even better, take it away from everybody! (I hate twitter)
ReplyDeleteHe’s definitely more than a little insane. He’s trying to sue Two and a Half Men for firing him now too, which is absolutely ridiculous. He’s been slowing down the show and disrupting work for years; it’s amazing he hasn’t been fired until now. I don’t think he really knows what he’s doing though. If this was his plan all along, there were probably a lot better ways to execute it. I think all the drug use has basically made him go off the deep end, and now he’s just being incredibly impulsive and grabbing onto everything he can, physically and figuratively. It is really really ironic that he’s actually turned this infamous insanity of his into “success”, if you’d call it that. The sad part is that the money and the attention just encourage him to continue, which means he probably won’t be stopping this madness until he overdoses, gets arrested for possession, or eats Jay Leno’s face. None of those things can come soon enough, and at least one of them is probably coming sooner than we think. (Also I like Twitter)
ReplyDeleteI love Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half men was my favorite show throughout high school and is still one of my favorite shows. I mean, some of the stuff that they think of on that show is just the most crazy things ever. I used to not be able to watch a single show without at one point literally laughing out loud. What I don’t get is why all of the sudden people started obsessing over Charlie in the last few months. I mean I knew that he was kind of crazy the whole time I was watching the show. He basically lived the life of Charlie Harper, and that is probably why he could play that part so well, because most of the time he wasn’t acting. One thing is for sure, Charlie is not like Tiger Woods, what he was doing was no secret, he is telling everyone about what and who he is doing, and for that we thank you Charlie.
ReplyDeleteDude Charlie Sheen is clearly not from this planet. He's got tiga blood LOL. All though people may say he's gone off the deep end the man is still living his life the way he wants to and I respect that. I don't respect his drug abuse and him leaving his family but who am I to judge him for that? I don't think it's anyone's business but his and his wife's. But the pornstar thing is a little ridiculous...he is known for partying with them and being a porn critic of sorts but to actually live with one is something else. They're the dirtiest people most probably ridden with disease. I think Sheen is actually a genius though. Everybody's talking about him now because of the drama he pulled off on that interview. He is an actor (and a damn good one) so we can't take everything he says to face value haha.
