Anna Nicole's boyfriend gets busted




Long time boyfriend of late Anna Nicole Smith arrested for prescription fraud. Howard K. Stern is being charged with allegedly supplying Anna Nicole with presciption narcotics. Stern along with two Doctors Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich are being charged with eight felonies.
The three allegedly supplied the former Playboy playmate with thousands of pills from 2004 to her untimely death in 2007. Stern who is an attorney himself, might have a hard time getting out of this mess. If he did get her all these drugs he should have put a little more thought into not leaving a paper trail.
Having battled my own demons with Oxycontin and Xanex addiction, I can honestly say that mixing Opiates with Benzodiazepines is simply a cocktail for disaster. With help from family and friends, I was one of the lucky few who was able to kick the habit before hitting rock bottom, most are not so lucky.

I have known people who have overdosed several times and have hit rock bottom, and still continued to use and abuse drugs. Oxycontin and Xanex are two of the most addictive prescription drugs known to man. Most people don’t do drugs with the notion that they are going to be an addict. It’s actually quite the opposite, they think it would never happen to them. Trust me, I know because I was one of them.

Once you experience that euphoric high a couple of times, chances are you are hooked. It starts out with a little bit, but that little bit always turns out to be a lot more in no time. From that point on you find your days and nights are consumed with chasing the dragon. I compare it to the Mafia, once you’re in deep, it’s virtually impossible to get out. My friend and I went to his dealer’s house together, to cop Oxy one day, and I’ll never forget what he said to me. He looked me straight in the eye and said “I’ve seen this [Oxy] destroy bigger and badder guys than you”. I guess you know you have a drug problem if your dealer tells you that!

A few months after that, I had had enough and quit cold turkey. I realized that drug addiction is a one way street that leads you to one of three places: The hospital, Prison, or the Morgue. I personally experienced two of the three and that was enough for me.

Unfortunately for Anna Nicole Smith, Heath Ledger, and most recently former WWE Wrestler Andrew “Test” Martin, experienced the most fatal of the three. So remember kids, “Say No To Drugs”.

Attention Walmart Shoppers









This is an open letter to ignorant people that shop at Walmart.

I went to Walmart the other day with a list of items that I needed. I am personally not a big fan of shopping at Walmart, or any other grocery store for that matter. That is why when I go I have a list in hand of the things I need. My mission is simple I get in, get out, and get on with my life. There are some people who have a different spin on it, and like to make the Walmart experience a day long event. That's all well and good I guess everybody needs a hobby, and that happens to be theirs

I'm minding my own business walking through the store, making a pretty good dent in my list. Next aisle I get to was a little crowded. I weave my way through the traffic, only to hit a roadblock halfway down. On one side was a 400lb woman yapping on her cell phone, On the other side was her overflowing shopping cart. Although I felt bad about interrupting her in depth phone conversation about how many calories were in the box of cookies she was eyeballing, I politely said excuse me. I assumed she would be as polite to move so I could squeeze by, silly me. Ignoring me briefly, she paused her extremely important phone conversation looked at me and said sarcastically: can I help you? Are you freaking kidding me? Yeah you can help me, you can move out of the way so I can get by thanks for asking! She complied to my request, but not without bitching to her friend on the phone about how rude I was. If it wasn't for ignorant people like you, who are oblivious to what's going on around them, I wouldn't have to be so rude. If she is that concerned about counting calories (which I doubt) and dealing with "rude" people, then she should call Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig. They can count the calories for her, and deliver the food right to her door!

Now being even more frustrated with the shopping experience, I proceeded to knock out the remaining items on my list. I finally finished, and hastily made my way to the register. Craving an adult beverage at this point, I quickly got in line. As luck would have it the line wasn't moving. Overhearing the people in front of me complaining about how slow this lady was going. I assumed they were talking about the Walmart employee behind the register. I looked to see what the hold up was, and much to my surprise it turned out to be my ignorant new friend! She still had her cell phone in one hand, and slowly putting her groceries on the counter with her other hand. I thought what the Hell did I do to deserve this! I then said out loud so she could hear me, if there's no one in front of you, and a line of pissed off people behind you, that would be YOU holding up the line! The look on her face was priceless! I then jumped over to a line that was actually moving, got out, and got on with my life!
