welcome to hollywood



so i read a completely moving post from my blogbuddy staggo today: it opened my heart a bit and had me thinking about my life and the parts before lithium finally slowed down the universal pendulum i was stuck on.

i then visited another of my regular online stops and i want to thank child abuse survivor for the link to this vid. i love visiting his site, because he has brought light to some things in his life that must have originally been excruciating. i know similar occurrences were like tons of bricks on my soul for most of my life.

i really haven't ever seen this documentary, but watching this clip creates a reason to watch the entire thing now. i vibrate completely with the demonstrated urge for self-destruction. it's an inclination that moved into my neighborhood when i was about 12 or 13.

this also gives me much more insight as to my unexplained and over-emphasized attraction to robbie. most of the people i admire the most in my life and have become truly close with, have a chemical imbalance of some sort. those friends are usually the only ones that can keep up with me or understand the stark contrasts in my moods.

it also shows me that ceasing this catty gossip about the likes of lohan, spears, and ritchie might actually be in order. after all, could they just be in pain underneath all the parties and papparazzi?

oh and i don't think it's simply welcome to hollywood, i think it's welcome to planet earth. we are everywhere, after all!

fair warning- this clip is about 8 minutes.....

Carrie Fisher (for those who made it to the very end of the video) knows everybody, I swear. Every 20 minutes, I run into someone who knows her, and describes her as an unbelievable friend.
As for Steven Fry, he played the best Oscar Wilde ever.
I've taken to leaving really superficial and glib, almost beside the point blog comments, haven't I? I guess I'm just tired of hearing so many attempts at profundity and insight out of my mouth. Of it's a symptom of my own bi-polarity.
