besides some of his way out there analogies, he's pretty much spot on. |
I put some thought into this...no you're not the only one who doesn't think he's nuts...in fact the opposite. I think his brain is quite complex and interesting...albeit damaged from drug abuse, but he's def aware of whats happening in his life way more than people realize.
Sheen's been an entertainer his whole life, he's developed as a human that requires pleasing people to function. He's supported everyone around him for decades. And he doesn't ask anyone for anything, expect sympathy, cry out for help, etc. in fact he asks not to be treated like a nut, respect his decisions as an adult, and absolutely do not judge him when no one is perfect themselves.
This is pretty typical of a lot of men who take on the "provider" role in their life. This is why women like Denise and Brooke and the Goddesses love him--he really does take care of them all out of pride and a sense of fulfillment.
As anyone who has been a "provider" knows, it wears on you...you'd be lying to yourself if you didn't admit you have a vice or an indulgence--something you turn to in order to relax and cut loose. Some people are runners, some smoke weed, drink beer or wine, kick back some cocktails, stay-at-home moms go to the spa, men go golfing, the list goes on...etc.
In Sheen's case when he gets a few days off he books a $14,000 hotel room, bangs 7 gram rocks AND a few hookers (cuz everyone knows what they're getting into..and Sheen loves honesty) behind closed doors, away from the responsibilities of his job, family, etc. Obviously this isn't a new concept for celebrities that go wild from time to time. Sheen WASN'T doing this stuff when he was in love and happily married to his (now ex)wives--he was presented a choice to pick the partying, hookers & blow OR pick his wife and family--he chose his family every time until the wife ended up being even more of a nut than him! Then its like, COME ON MAN! Can't win situation.
He's constantly faced with these ultimatums and choices when in reality he's not really doing anything to harm anyone except maybe himself with these activities...he stays clean around the kids, he is clean at work and performs well, he abides by the law (well, kinda), and seems otherwise cooperative when faced with intelligent requests.
The times we hear about him losing control, acting violent, etc you have to wonder why the people around him, knowing him well, would want to taunt the fuck out of him...they know they'll get a reaction.
Everyone has been provoking him for a reaction for years. Chuck Lorre, Brooke Mueller, his Dad, his manager, etc. Now he's actually standing up for himself. He's a bit of a revolutionary--he's been putting up with injustices for years and got tired of being stomped on by the iron foot of a total assbag, so he finally threw it back in their face and makes valid points.
Charlie Sheen should become an endangered species--something we protect, but do not interfere with...nature is to be respected and left to run its course. We should learn about it, take valuable lessons from it, and be inspired to make changes so no one ever has to endure the torture of living in a world where you must become Charlie Sheen instead of your true Tiger-blooded, Adonis DNA spliced Carlos Estevez SELF.
