You know what’s Crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy!
How you can have everything in the world and not know it.
DATELINE: MANHATTAN
Alec Baldwin was rushed to the hospital after his daughter dialed 911. According to published reports, The 51-year-old 30 Rock star, was ‘unresponsive’ when taken to a hospital in New York.
According to NYC police, Baldwin and his daughter argued and he threatened to take pills.
Baldwin was released around 1am with orders to stay awake. His publicist says it is all a big misunderstanding.
Yeah whatever.
Here’s what I can tell you. If I have Alec Baldwin’s money, his looks, his talent and his sense of humor, the last thing I’m doing is over dosing on pills. If I have an argument with my daughter? So What! She’s a teenager. They are suppose to argue with you. That’s what teenage girls do.
“Oh I’m so depressed. What should I do? Take a bunch of pills? Or sit court-side at a Knicks game?”
HMMMMM? Let me ponder that for a second or two.
Nothing but net!
Feeling a little despondent? Should I put a gun in my mouth? Naaaa. I think I’ll get on a leer jet and go shopping in the South of France. Pass the wine and cheese please.
Had a bad day? Is the oven looking like an appetizing way out? Not in my kitchen. I’m cooking up some positive energy. Sucking in a bunch of fumes ain’t on my agenda today.
What a winy little b**** Alec Baldwin is. Does he not watch the news and see half dead zombies being pulled from the rubble in Haiti? Does he not see the shoes hanging on the telephone wires in Watts marking the spot where another teenager was iced in the one millionth drive by shooting. Does he not see shanty towns in New Orleans, and suicide bombers in Kabul? Does he not see people on the unemployment line who can’t afford even one of the pills he takes in excess.
Alec Baldwin’s alleged suicide attempt is the quintessential lesson that none of us truly appreciate what we have. Only when you stare the shadow of death in the face do you realize that your health is the most important thing you have. It is only then that you realize that life is a one way ride and when the ride is over, it is over. No redo’s. No 2nd chances. No excuses.
But when you are a superstar, multi-millionaire, playboy, who can buy anything and do anything and go anywhere, why would you jeopardize that lifestyle by taking a handful of pills?
WHY ALEC BALDWIN WHY?
Alec Baldwin, if I may be so bold; you are stupid. Wake up, splash your face with some expensive toilette water and then get a freaking grip.
Your not some food stamp hordin, brown bag drinkin, heat grate sleepin douche bag. Compared to almost every other human on this planet, you are a king among men. You are Alec Baldwin. You brag about the number of times you have hosted SNL. Most of us are never lucky enough to host even a PTA breaksfast, no less SNL.
Don’t you get it dumb ass?
According to a press release: The actor stayed at Lenox Hill Hospital for an hour before he was released shortly after 1am with orders to stay awake for the time being.
Baldwin, who appears with Meryl Streep and Steve Martin in the movie It’s Complicated, is due to co-host the Academy Awards with Martin next month.
You’re hosting the Academy Awards! Enough said! How many people belong to the Academy Award Hosting Fraternity? 15? 20? Johnny Carson and Billy Crystal and Bob Hope You are among legends and you decide to go to sleep forever.
If you were here right now I’d punch you in the face.
But since you are not here right now, you should really slap yourself in the face. Wake Up. Get a grip. You’ve been blessed with a life 99% of the people on Earth dream of. You look like a distinguished James Bond shaken not stirred. You are quick witted and handsome.
You argue with your daughter and then opt for a dirt nap? You are a fool.
Show me some guts Baldwin. Suck it up. Life is a beach, then you die, they say. But the journey isn’t over when you say it’s over. It’s over when the big man in the sky says it’s over.
So the next time you feel suicidal, do us all a favor and go skiing in Utah.
You give suicide a bad name.
And that is crazy.
