The Responsibility of Celebrity

I have a bone to pick.

My guides wanted me to follow this "celebrity" and interact with him. I have done as they asked and I studied him at length.

Over a year later, I no longer wish to comply with my guides requests. I am weary and this guy is anything but deep. His biggest concern is trying to see where he can get a little press be it from trying to milk the story about the old guitarist coming back to conveniently having a photo placed on the wedding planner's page that gives away the date and location of the wedding that is to take place tomorrow. I suspect that was meant for the press and paparazzi to find. I mean, you gotta milk even your most tender moments for press, right? *rolls eyes* His home address was totally given away in comments on Instagram and I warned both him and his drummer about it in a private message, but the comment stating what street he lives on is still there. Maybe I am brighter than most, but I assume if I was able to find his home address in 5 minutes based on information he, his fiance and some dumb guy named "Mike" gave, well, anyone can. I just have to SMH

This guy had potential. He has this amazing platform and his primary audience are kids, who are the most malleable of audiences. The kids are our future, right? He has this amazing opportunity to actually stand for something and fight for causes....real causes. Not which pair of shoes he will wear for the night or what guitar he should use on the album. So far he has completely pissed away his opportunity to help create a better world. Are you really that shallow and superficial that your biggest concern is your superficial friends and your superficial little world? Are your blinders so big that you can't see what is happening in the world? WAKE THE FUCK UP! Take your fucking blinders off and actually stand for something real with depth. And please, please, please stop saying that you just didn't know that alcohol would do what it did to you. It just makes you look really stupid because the truth is EVERYONE knows that too much alcohol will kill you. It doesn't have to be a period of years to destroy you. It can simply be one night of excess and alcohol poisoning will take you out. We have all heard stories about it, so please stop playing the dumb card and just take responsibility for your self-destructive behavior.

I think celebrities need to realize the influence they have and put that to use to do something good. I mean REALLY do something. Not just use their face to bring attention to a cause, but to get pissed off and really passionate about it. Get their hands dirty and DO something to create change in this world to make it a better place.

There are a few who I can say I respect and admire. Brad Pitt for the work he has done for the last 10 years in New Orleans to get the poor back into GOOD housing. Not just some shithole thrown together that is not energy efficient. No, he made sure it was quality homes that were energy efficient. Keanu Reeves is known for being a wonderful giving soul who cares about people and the issues. Russell Brand, love him or hate him he is out speaking his truth and I adore him for being so passionate about it. Jim Carey has stood up and spoken out and regardless of your stance on vaccinations, he is using his celebrity for something that isn't just self-serving. Let's talk about Joe Rogan. He knows what is going on on a spiritual level and he has been a big advocate for legalizing cannabis. Cannabis HEALS and it needs to be legal far and wide. There are SO many useful things that cannabis can be used for. I don't use it recreationally but I voted to have it legalized in my state because it needs to be a plant in our environment again because it is a medicinal plant that can be used in so many helpful ways. Emma Watson...omg I just love her for standing up for women and caring about the treatment of animals when choosing the products she buys.

We need more celebrity heroes who actually are worth following and stand for something. Our planet is in dire straits. We have to change or we will successfully exterminate ourselves. We are mowing down the forests that give us oxygen. We are polluting the waters with radiation, toxic mining waste and fracking. We are killing the bees so that we can have neat and tidy lawns. We are polluting the air and killing the soil.

I know it isn't likely for any celebrities to read this blog post, so I implore audiences to give a shit and choose celebrity heroes who have substance and depth who aren't afraid to get their hands dirty and aren't afraid to stand up and speak out for things they believe in.
