(Cue deep-throated v/o actor....)
In a world plagued with Mel Gibson's leaked abusive phone calls fraught with rage and hate, where a mask can so often hide a seamy underbelly you don't know where to put your faith first. In a world
where there is so much unrest how is it feasible that latest greatest 'lone wolf' this side of Lenny Koznowski has given up rebel status to resume roll of lap dog. How can the greatest break-out artist this side of Houdini deny his fans their base? I'm talking about Levi here. Is there nothing more comfortable in Life than a nicely broken in pair of Levis? Levi Johnston, ex to Kathy Griffith, scourge to the ex-governor of Alaska. Levi Johnston former Playgirl model and advocate for 'doing it his way' has returned to Bristol, which in CT is boring and entered into his son's life. I'm glad on this front that he is being responsible, but facts are facts.........there must be some
Kool aid involved.
I love that when he entered the world's stage he was a moose shooting, snowmobile working, chaw chewin' alaskan redneck. He knocked up the governors daughter and was unrepentant, at least until the republican party shut down his MySpace (remember that old thing) next day he was in Banana Republic threads waving to the crowd with a cheesy grin flossed with an act of contrition. Who is this? This is not what we saw in last week's edition of 15 Minute's, and Ticking. I loved his shit eating grin the moment I saw it and when I saw that he had a Fake-over (kind of like a make over but more like image rape) I thought to myself "they got to him". And when the unified front fell apart and he ran for the snow I found myself in the company of many others, cheering him on. When the criticism started he did what any other would do....threaten a tell-all and make the talk circuit rounds. Want to top this off with a nude spread and maybe a clothing line??? Fantastic, keep the train going. But shows over, baby daddy is handing over the reigns.
Kool Aid happens when a strong personality does a 180 degree turn and finds themselves eating all the words they threw out in their road of discourse. It's a rapid departure from the expected. The hunter becomes the hunted and what would have been a bearer becomes the trophy. It sucks.
Kool Aid is an invisible solution that turns Mr Hyde into Dr Jekyll. The
expression comes from the horrible events in
Guyana where cult leader Jim Jones forced his followers into a massive suicide pact and the children in the cult were made to drink poisoned Kool Aid to follow the sinister mission. How excited is the Kraft company that there former innocuous little treat became synonymous with kid's suicide?Even more so to now have it's product link to insanity causing. Because that's what this expression says to me. When I see a drastic change in a behavior that is so contrary to what I'd witnessed prior I can't help but explain it with the Kool Aid theory. I think I do this as a time saver really. It's all about saving time nowadays anywhoo. I marvel at people's ability to morph.
I send my best to our lost "Lone Wolf" and wishhim all the success in the world. Their little Trip is lucky to have two parents and he's lucky to be insulated from the full influence of that woman. Maybe this will work out for the best I love a good sequel. A good one. Not one drenced in Kool Aid and smelling of shotgun powder. Poor Levi, broken in and not to be let out of sight ever again. I can only imagine the ribbing he'll take at the holidays, but I trust he'll be able to give as good as he gets. His track record suggests that he had a set of stones at one time.
