Charlie and Cocaine Factory

If there’s one thing we appreciate here at the ShoeBag, it’s someone who speaks their mind no matter what. If you’ve yet to see Charlie Sheen’s interview on the Today show, do it NOW. Maybe we all forgot how off the rocker Charlie Sheen could be at any given moment. How we forgot this, I’m not really sure, but I doubt anyone will ever forget about it anymore. And it only reaffirms my desire to party with this guy. Just for one night. We don’t even have to bring the briefcases of coke or hookers, although if he did I doubt I’d be able to say no. It’s Charlie Sheen. For the most part, the interview made me laugh. Not like I laugh at his tv show, which is hilarious, but kinda how you laugh when someone falls off of their bike. The hilarity doesn’t subside, but you’re thinking “I really hope that guy is alright. Someone should get him some help.” Other parts of the interview, I wasn’t laughing so much. I more or less stared blankly at my screen wondering aloud if he was able to say what he just said. Like when he said Alcoholics Anonymous was developed by a broken down fool and that it was for normal people, who aren’t special or have tiger blood in their veins…or Adonis DNA (he said that with a straight face, which actually made it a lot funnier). He went on to say that people who relapse or fall off the wagon are “fools. Trolls. Weak. Defeated” (not as funny, but wow!). The funniest part may be that he was trying to convince us the whole time that he was sober. And maybe he was. Because according to Charlie Sheen, you can’t process him with a normal brain. And ff you haven’t heard by now, Charlie Sheen is a rock star…from Mars? Yup, that’s what he said.

I don’t really care to debate whether he’s right or wrong for saying what he said. The guy feels as if he was wronged by the creators of the show and he’s standing up for what he wants. Amidst all of the psychological stress that he was put through, it’s good to know that someone out there believes in himself as much as Charlie Sheen does. Some might call him the modern day Che Guevera. I wouldn’t, but somebody out there might. One thing I think we can all agree on is that we’ve all wanted to cuss our bosses at one point or another so I can’t really be mad at him for calling the guy out. One thing that’s not up for debate, however, is the fact that Charlie Sheen is about as real as it gets. Charlie Sheen has more heart than your favorite rapper or politician could ever dream of having. Minus the hookers, porn stars, atheism, drugs and alcohol use, physical, mental, and/or verbal abuse against damn near every woman he’s been with, his general outlook on most everything, and what seems to be a slight case of paranoia, he’s a guy that you can look at and say, “That’s what I want my kids to be; someone who speaks his mind and stands up for himself.” And if you don’t feel that way, then you owe Charlie Sheen an apology. A big one. While licking his feet? Yup, that’s what he said.
