The other night, i randomly….no..not randomly-i forgot: random doesn’t exist …..so anyway..i guess i was ‘drawn’ to turn the tv on  , at an odd hour – and guess what (who)? was on Oprah ‘confronting’ the most recent blahged about topic here(and everywhere)  james frey.

  The thing that struck me,  is that oprah ,  seems to be behaving like she was ‘confronting’ mr.frey out her own humiliation…which comes off  kinda looking weak. i mean the guys fucked, everyone sees it. but  this appeared, to me,  like an unnecessary human attack.
i dunno..maybe it was just  for ratings…but come on..the  hard hitting questions from Oprah like ;
“Were there  one or two root canals , james…just answer the question….one  or two?” thats  lamo-rama, Oprah.
I fully concede to his lameness in what he lied about about how he fronted and especially acting such a pompous ass- i even wrote  a HUGE  rant at him  ,  but now…i kinda feel  bad for the what seems overkill on the punishment of a person already taken down.

My take at this point is that he is  just a smart-ass who hadnt allowed for  alot of spiritual growth ( up to know- cause you know he’s going through some heavy forced spiritual growing at this point-)-with an oversized sense of importance
  i mean, if you read (listened) to “hisbook”-and especially if you’ve ever been in recovery, or have gone through you’re own darknight and come through…you’d have a sense of his impossible grandiose attitude and would have had a sense (or  i did anyway) of how he was setting himself up for some sort of fall- via the air of conquering something that (seemingly) needs a spiritual awakening for any conquering at all to happen, led me to feel like
his path of ‘awakening’ was not complete- Now I think Oprah needs to check in with why shes so vehemently chastising another human –the end dialogue . was somewhat redeeming , for both of them..iguess.. kinda like Oprah won , though.

Personally i just dont think the public attack in the way they did it was very graceful or ‘oprah-ish’
NOt that ANY of this is important to my life, other than something to one (or two) off blah-g about…
