Let me start by saying “ It’s been a while”. I’m not much of a writer anymore. The more I think about it, who really gives a shit what anyone has to say? I truly believe that what a person thinks within himself or herself is what’s right. Or at least you can dupe people into believing what you say is valid. It all comes down to morals and what kind of person you are. You can think you’re a good person, but you might not be. People can tell you you’re a good person, and you still might not be. It’s all about perception. Who people see you as, as you see yourself, and who you really are.
So, is what I say good or bad? I just think it’s for me. I put it out there, and if you feel like reading it, do so. If not, lovely.
Let’s start with David Letterman. Now here’s a guy who’s been on television for at least 30 years. The man has made a career out of coming into peoples homes every night, telling a few jokes during his monologue and interviewing celebrities.
Now you take some stupid fuck who thinks blackmailing people actually works in this day and age. (Blackmail and Murder are pretty much the same when it comes to getting away with either. Only stupid people attempt these crimes.) So the guy puts Dave on the spot and claims he knows about trysts he’s had with former employees. (I say employees, because I’m pretty sure Dave has banged several of his staff over the years. It’s an unwritten rule. Dave bangs staff and nobody talks about it.)
My point is, Dave’s been in a (supposedly) monogamist relationship with a women for the past 23 years. He has a 5-year-old son with this woman, and the repercussions he will have to deal with will be minuscule.
I watched Dave come out to his audience about this extortion attempt. He paraphrased what was pre-written for him and attempted to make jokes about the situation. After he made a couple of these fucking stupid comments, the audience applauded him. That’s what you call: Looking for validation, or personal self-fulfillment. I find it a little pathetic. The man is a sociopath for sure. (My opinion)
Famous people have no repercussions in their lives anymore.
Dave will get off with a slap on the wrist and some marriage counseling. His job will stay his, his staff will pat him on the back, and all will be well again in Letterman Land.
The next big headline will steal his thunder and he will be back to wearing those ill-fitting suits, telling stupid jokes that he didn’t write to people who aren’t really laughing. Depressing right?
One more semi-famous asshole that might finally get his is Roman Polanski. Now this jack off raped a 13 year old. He drugged her, threw her in a hot tub, and hit her in the seat. He then fled the country for the next few decades. Now he get’s clipped and he wants out of jail. He’s willing to pay over a half a million dollars just to make things right with the women he backdoor'd 30 years ago.
Fucking people need to realize, they must be responsible for their actions. Famous people especially.
Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne. The guy does minimum time (if any) and gets off Scott-free. He then writes in his book on his deathbed. “I’m so sorry. I should have handled it better”. Ya think so? Fucking asshole. You lived the charmed life, and at the end you want to be remembered as a great man. Not a womanizer who accidently killed campaign worker.
All these kinds of things happen in everyday people’s lives also. Its not as publicized and I’m sure the same amount of pain is felt between everyone involved.
I do however feel that people should be held accountable. I’ve been called out on a million things. I’ve felt like shit for a long time (still do) and had to make amends with people. I’ve never killed anyone and I’ve certainly never backdoor’s a 13 year old. But I’ve done shit that I’ve regretted and made sure that I learned from it and I hope have became a better person for it.
I really don’t give a fuck about Dave Letterman or Roman Polanski. I just hope they get what’s coming to them. And if not, everything comes out end. Just ask Ted.
