Likelihood is that Brian Wilson gave it to him as a small gift when he visited Charlie Sheen last week.

Yeah, he sounds like Brian Wilson if Brian Wilson were actually serious about what he says.

In other words, crazy.

Apparently he’s doing an ‘actory’ thing and adopting Brian’s persona prior to getting into a role…though it’s making Brian douchey again by association – no bueno.

I saw him in a photo wearing an Indians hat. They’re all adjustable versions, these caps of his. Splurges on coke, hookers and cars but can’t get the fitted version?

are kind of a young person thing. Don’t see many people over 40 rockin’ a fitted.

by kezargiants on Mar 1, 2011 6:22 PM PST up reply actions  

Agreed

Anyone over 40 needs to retire the fitted and go with the slouch cap with the leather strap. Although they do have those “fitted” slouch caps; those are alright, I guess.

So Omar Vizquel, Tim Wakefield and all players over 40 should stop? I don’t think you are ever too old to wear a fitted cap.

by duke_diligence on Mar 2, 2011 9:18 AM PST up reply actions  

I wear an adjustable. Started because I got the hat almost ten years ago, when I was 10, so I figured since my head would grow I shouldn’t get a fitted cap, and I wear it now because they don’t make them anymore (or at least I can’t find one from a reliable seller).

Sorry, I meant that they don’t make the kind of adjustable I wear anymore. It’s the ‘01 cap with the black hat, orange SF, and black on top of the orange as well. I can’t find it anywhere except from some random shady retailer on the internet.

Who is winning?

The whiny guy on a blog who demands people in the spotlight behave in a way that is deemed appropriate, showing his true self-righteous ways;

Or the guy that is nailing 2 porn stars, has created a phenomenon that gives people something to talk about to distract them from their boring lives, and has the masses eating out of his hand?

by BustaTheRippa on Mar 2, 2011 6:13 PM PST up reply actions  

Wow

I think you have an incredibly convoluted way of looking at Charlie Sheen’s actions. What makes Charlie Sheen’s life better than mine? money? fame? banging pornstars who want his money and fame?

His beef with the producers of his show is fine but when he calls himself a rockstar from Mars, calls his family giving him advice as jibberish from fools, and how he’s “winning” I see the antics of a lunatic.

There is a saying about 2 men on a ladder. One man is on the second rung and the other on the 6th rung. Which man is higher? It would seem obvious that the man on the second rung was. The answer is that it depends on which direction you are going.

Yes, Yes, and Yes.

Rockstar from Mars: Sheen saying something off the wall that INSTANTLY has people talking. WIN.

Advice from family: Pretty clear that he has had an epiphany, and he realizes he doesn’t owe the public shit. That includes his family with typical group think judgement.

Lunatic: Yes. Although he readily admits that half of what he says is for laughs and entertainment. This falls under the “getting the masses to eat out of his hand” strategy he has.

What direction is Sheen going? He has 1 million twitter followers within 24 hours. He’s going to sue 2 and a Half men and rape them in court. he has a 5 million dollar per episode deal with HBO in the works. He’ll soon have a copyright of the term “winning” and all of his other sayings. He’s absolutely destroyed all of the ridiculous fallacies people have about him in interviews. His stock is high. And it’s rising at an epic rate. I’m guessing he had this all planned out, as he has shown that he is a genius.

by BustaTheRippa on Mar 2, 2011 8:51 PM PST up reply actions  

And yet you still don't understand

Fame is merely the act of being watched. People will watch anything from the first landing on the moon to a train wreck, and he is easily both of those things and gets followed for both.

All things you mention of him “winning” is his money and fame. Money is great but very corrupting in so many facets of life. I’d rather be piss poor and know that what I have around me is real than live in a mansion completely isolated from real connections to anything but my own mind.

He owes the public shit? The public made him. They pay his bills. They pay those pornstars and that mansion. I’m not saying he has to party less or apologize for anything he’s done, but he should appreciate those that have paid for the life he’s accustomed.

In a way Sheen has convinced himself he is his own God. He has no one to answer to but himself. In a way it is freeing, but when you have that idea you can become very dangerous. People with that perception of themselves end up being proven wrong.

You're giving him way too much credit

The world is watching his life is falling apart in a very public way. If this is a publicity stunt, why did his publicist quit? These things don’t typically end well.

Sadly, unless there’s a big directional change, I think he’ll probably be dead before the year is over from either suicide, accidental OD, driving under the influence or murdered by drug dealers.

Because he has plenty of money and enablers willing to tell him what he wants to hear, it’s going to make it difficult for him to bottom out without ending it all.

The thong is, it happened.
