What's more depressing is that so many celebs can't go to a regular fucking pharmacy for fear of people finding out what they're on, so they get meds from docs themselves or through multiple places with fake names. Which means that that magical computer shit that checks to see if your drugs don't interact doesn't apply to them. And maybe the psych docs just give them what they want, or just don't think about the interactions (it's hard to remember how everything interacts with everything else)
Anna Nicole was a prime example. She had enough counter-indicated medicine to kill an elephant. If she hadn't have had to get her drugs in these back ass ways, if she could have just gone to a CVS or a Walgreens they would have seen in a second that those things shouldn't be taken together.
And my guess is this is just another one of those. And the people who love a good story are out there saying he was a druggy or something. And maybe he was. But it's equally probable, perhaps more probable, that he was taking meds he thought he could take together because he didn't have a real pharmacist to say "hey now, wait a minute..." Docs can't be expected to know every interaction. That's why pharmacists go to a special school and get special extra training.
This is a fucking tragedy. And there will probably be more like it. All because dumbfuck people have to chase down the private lives of everyone famous.
Now I'm all for celeb worship. Don't get me wrong. But at some point these people need to be allowed to be people...if only so that they can get medical care without it being front page news and don't end up dead because they couldn't go to a damn pharmacist.
Sorry. End rant.
I just love celebrities and it makes me sad when their lifestyle destroys them too soon. Or rather the lifestyle that our obsessive paparazzi culture forces on them when all they wanted was to be good at their job and make people happy (or make them think, or dance, or whatever)
Alas, it's hard to scissor your timbers through the screen.
Sorry you totally got that phrase in my head...I almost want to get a super lame tattoo of it. Like a frontwise tramp stamp. Just so everyone who wants me will know what they're in for.
Well I think it's cooler than having Wayne Newton written above my ass
But maybe this will amuse you...
Yes...I just hit you with a classic summer jam when it's 10 degrees outside. Darn, I think the only person I'm amusing here is me.
Thanks so much for the ride and all. Sorry I got all sick and lame. I really was ill...I'm lucky I didn't get ill in your car. Sigh. And that was on no alcohol. I'm glad I didn't drink. Stupid headaches.
But yes thanks so much! I hope to see you around soon when I'm stronger and more able to party all night long like I once did.
OK.

Hey!
Not much going with me.. So happy to be back!
I am looking for a new place and will be moving to Northern Kentucky.... About 15 miles away fro where I live now because it's closer to work and cheaper to live.
I will be going to Columbus on the 17th for Havana.. And Shabby's Shindig that same weekend.
Yes I'm back in C-bus and yes I am planning on going to Havana...I could use a ride, that would be helpful, thanks but I might have to drive myself because it's comp-li-mi-cated...I'll PM you about it.
Best of luck with the moving and such. I hope we'll still see you around SGOhio now and then. I will be happy to see you again Thurs! It's been too long.
OMG I LOVE FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS...I've only seen 4 full episodes but they were all PURE GENIUS and I haven't laughed that hard in years!
Here's a personal fave of mine...though really they are all so good it's hard to pick a favorite.
