Another sad day, the headlines brought tears to me. Corey Haim dead at 38. Another young life destroyed by drug abuse. I will never understand why they do it. They have so much, and still they are never really satisfied or happy, let alone thankful for their lives and success.
This guy was an 80's superstar, the world loved him...with a few exceptions of course. He starred in quite few movies, License to Drive, The Lost Boys, Lucus...to name a few. He had everything a young man his age wanted or needed. He was a complete success and on his way to greatness.
Then sudddenly came his drug abuse, partying like there would be no tomorrow. He soon lost his money. hollywood power, his stardom, his home and worst of all he lost himself. He became a weak, lost individual.
When his friends, family and others offered him help he simply refused to be helped, he would not even help himself. In the end, he lost!!!
It makes me so angry at these people who end up dead because of drugs they intentionally use and know the consequences of using drugs. I do not care for the weak and stupid. All these hollywood actors who think they are above the law and indestructible. They work so hard to become good actors and to develope a wonderful talent. A fan base begins to grow and soon into a cult following. Its not enough to be talented, famous, and wealthy. To have the best of everything, privilage of the highest standing and again they are never satisfied with anything they have. They do NOT deserve any of it. They throw all of it away and all for what.... a few hours of feeling good only to shot up, pop another pill or two, drink a ton of alcohol just to achive a stupid high, to escape their own miserable existance.
Here I am struggling day after day just to scrape together enough money to keep a roof over my head, food on my table, wondering what is going to happen tomorrow when the creditors come knocking on my door, or my bank is threatening me with another extended overdraft fee which I have no way of stopping.
Unlike the spoiled rich talented hollywood beautiful people, I have no such talent as any of them,I don't star in, produce or direct movies but sometimes i wish I did, my worries would be over. Unlike the hollywood Beautiful people, I cannot afford a 10 million dollar mansion in beverley hills or maybe a private resort in the south of France. Unlike the hollywood beautiful I don't have millions and millions of useless dollars to spend, furthermore they have so many millions they will never live long enough to spend it, so much so that even their kids or grandkids will never be able to spend it all. It would take and unknown number of generations to spend all that money. I am at a total loss as to why they need so much money and they never do anything worthy with the money, they make no difference to the world. Oh sure some celeberties do donate tens of millions but most are simply for show. The ones i have a problem with are the ones who donate to other countries when thera are so many charities here in the U.S. that are in desperate need of funds. We have so many hungry and abused children, lost and abandoned children, I don't see a celeb donating a penny to them. So, what the hell is the point to having so much money if you aren't going to really do something good with it?? If I had half of what the celebs make for just one movie, I could build at least a thousand or more small homes for the homeless, or maybe feed an entire city of hungry children and adults.
Anyway, I am sad that Corey died but he never knew how much the world loved him. May his family find a way to get thru this and be better for it. As for Corey,,, Rest in peace, my friend!!!
