Day 2,899 —Oscars on my Mind— with a PICTURE of a LEAF #684

Stayed up so late watching the Oscars, such a strange, intriguing event this year. My wife and I usually make a ballot for fun, but it was tough to pay attention with our daughter’s bedtime overlapping. 

Before the now much talked about event of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, I was noticing how odd Will Smith looked in several of the shots that cut to him. 

His eyes were bloodshot, wet. He looked like he had been crying or drinking or both. 

And then his Oscar speech made me feel sorry for him. He seemed unstable. And today, it is crazy to me that everyone is taking sides and not dealing with the elephant in the room. This is Will Smith’s cry for help. 

But he is not alone. How many other celebrities have been allowed to indulge in self-destructive behavior endless without ever having anyone be able to help them? 

It seems like a lonely way to live your life.
