You probably all have each other's emails.
Talk about this stuff in the safety of your sowing circle.

I think that is a great idea.

The internet is a melting pot of different perspectives.
If you can't take the heat, get off of the messageboards.

Or just stop posting and encouraging rude, remedial threads.
That's really the only choice I think you've got.

Oh, yeah. Or ignoring me.

Melody,

As long as they continue to provoke me,
they will continue to get schooled.

And we are all struggling. I'm suicidal half the time, lol.

"I'm hopeful that you will reconsider, and come back to acting, because you're just, you know, nobody really better than you are." - Dave Letterman in Joaquin's last interview on his show

It's clear from the first clip that Joaquin knows how to be a guest on Letterman, and it's clear from other interview clips that he can string sentences together when he's passionate about something. Letterman would have been a great platform for Joaquin to go over whatever he's passionate about at the moment, and Joaquin could have saved that interview at any moment if he would have just stood up for himself, but instead he let everything get to him. Joaquin had a hand in creating every moment of that interview.

He clearly didn't seem to be in the right state of mind for appearing on Letterman, so that was probably a bad call on his part. If his energy wasn't up, and he wasn't prepared for the public's reaction to the new him, he shouldn't have gone. Better to be an a$shole and cancel, than be an a$shole when you show up.

And Dave did meet him halfway. Dave's an experienced interviewer. He gave Joaquin several means of joining the conversation.

Some suggestions I have:

People get made fun of everyday, what does being a celeb have to do with it? Why should a celeb get a free pass from being ridiculed for doing ridiculous crap, when I don't get free pass when I do something ridiculous?

I am going to use Katy Perry for example. I was signing in on my Yahoo and I came across a net article about this hideous blue zebra and red pumps she wore and everyone was just making fun of her. I didn't think much of it until a month later when I was flipping through the channels and saw her in a interview about her "wacky sense of style".

She basically said, that she's comfortable dressing the way she does and that she loves her "style" and everyone else can shove it because Katy Perry is going to do Katy Perry, rather the paparazzi, media, or America likes it.

I like that attitude, Katy Perry definatly is not one of these "boo hoo baby me" celebs like Paris, Amy Whinehouse, Lidsay, or whatever. She knows her style is "strange" and that people are going to talk sh!t but she doesn't care.

I feel like if you going to act ridiculous such as driving over the speed limit in a neighborhood, snorting up coke, and acting like a complete a$$ in public, then don't get mad if people make fun or talk sh!t about it.

Also when my friend told me about Kate Winslet's whole wieght issue with media, I had first exspected my friend to say she was starving herself but nothing of the sort came up and to my suprise Kate Winslet is still a curvacious yet lovely actor. Thats what I mean by personal responsiblity for one's self. You don't have to starve, get drunk and drugged out just because the media slanders you...

Hawkeye: Well, we kinda face to the north and real sudden-like turn left.

Cora Munro: They do not live their lives "by your leave"!
They hack it out of the wilderness with their own two hands,
bearing their children along the way!

Cora Munro: They're going to hang you.
Why didn't you leave when you had the chance?

Hawkeye: Because what I'm interested in is right here.

Jack Winthrop: You're not coming with us?

Hawkeye: I've got a reason to stay.

Jack Winthrop: That reason wear a striped skirt and work in the surgery?

Hawkeye: It does. No offense,
but it's a better looking reason than you, Jack Winthrop.

Cora Munro: You are right, Mr. Poe.
We do not understand what is happening here.
And it's not as I imagined it would be,
thinking of it in Boston and in London...

Hawkeye: Sorry to disappoint you.

Cora Munro: No, on the contrary.
It is more deeply stirring to my blood than any imagining could possibly have been.

Cora Munro: The whole world is set on fire.
