I will speak more about this.

For now, take a gander at this picture from the abysmal Dickie Roberts.



(Front row, left to right) Tony Dow, Erin Moran, Adam Rich, Ron Palillo, Charlene Tilton, Eddie Mekka, Ernest Thomas, Fred Berry, Barry Livingston, (second row, left to right) Rodney Allen Rippy, Butch Patrick-Lilly, Willie Aames, Jeremy Miller, Jay North, Chris Knight, Haywood Nelson, (third row, left to right) Barry Williams, Todd Bridges, Paul Petersen, Jeff Conaway and Leif Garrett as themselves

Why do I have a picture of a bunch of has beens on my journal, you ask? Well, there is a man there I can safely call a friend at times and an enemy at others. This man is the last one listed and in the upper right hand corner. Yes, this man is known as Leif Garrett and used to look like this:



But he went through the usual drugs and whatever else these young 'pop' stars tend to go through, almost killed himself and his best friend at the time, went bald (trust me, I've seen him without the doo rag he wears now), had an E! True Hollywood Story about himself and now acts in little films and makes fun of himself, all so he can get another hit from his dealer. He looks like this now:



He and I met back in 1995, when he was going through alot of problems. I helped him into one of his many stints in rehab and sure enough, he felt the need to become my new best friend. I sure as hell didn't want to be his friend and I definately would never be seen in a car while he was driving it. But I said, what the hell, let's see where this adventure would take me.

And sure enough, it wouldn't dissapoint. But I grow weary right now so off to sleep I go. Time to rest in the backseat of my car. I'll mention the story of Mr. Garrett tomorrow, if you want.
