Winning(Losing)

"I probably took more than anybody could survive. I was bangin' seven-gram rocks and finishing them because that's how I roll. I have one speed, I have one gear. Go."

-Charlie Sheen on drugs


The world is watching Charlie Sheen lose his shit in public, and it can't get enough. Maybe it's the laserbeam intensity with which he's doing it, but it's caught on like wildfire. I'll tell you right now, it's fascinating how fast this is moving and in what directions it's going. Like the mind of any speed freak, that's every direction at once with no destination. Lighting out for the territories in search of new and interesting ways to burn out like a thermite suit. Seemingly coked(or something like that) to the gills at all times, the guy is a batshit-quote machine with its wheels falling off in plain view.

After his scheduled trainwreck of a 20/20 interview and the subsequent removal of his twin sons, the man still shows no signs of slowing down. On the contrary, Sheen has now joined Twitter, gaining over a million followers in 24 hours. His latest tweet acknowledges his absence from the site as his kids are his first concern. We'll see if this has any effect on his sobriety or lack thereof. Drug tests be damned, the guy's gotta be on something. Or everything. This should ensure he doesn't get his kids back, at least until he gets and stays clean. If that happens eventually, awesome. Great news all around. From all outward appearances, however, it won't.



Step one is admitting you have a problem. Not only is that not happening, he's wholeheartedly embracing his Motley-Crue-at-their-worst lifestyle and keeping us all updated on it. It's CSPAN on a crack-fueled warpath through life. Recently, we've seen the radio appearance on Alex Jones, the 20/20 interview, now a Twitter page. Through no fault of his own, Sheen's use of the word "winning" has even turned into a kind of meme for embracing your impulses.

Granted, he's no stranger to the life. He's had a number of run-ins with the law over the years for drug and alcohol related offenses, as well as patronizing a prostitution ring. Having a widely-known affinity for porn stars, Sheen is now dating porn actress Bree Olsen and former model Natalie Kenly. Meanwhile, Sheen is currently finalizing his divorce from the mother of his two sons, real estate investor Brooke Mueller. It should be noted all parties recently vacationed together in the Bahamas, with Mueller returning home soon after. Still, what balls on this guy.

That's about it for now. Join us next time when the train wreck isn't funny anymore, and we're just staring at a guy begging for attention as we move on with our lives. It's already starting to happen:
