What do you have against WINNING?

Can I ask you a question, People of Earth...?

What do you have against WINNING???

There's one person who's winning right now. He goes by many names. Level 7 Vatican Assassin Warlock. Totally Bitchin' Martian Rockstar. He Who Must Not Be Let Onto the Warner Bros Lot.

Most mere mortals know him by his terrestrial name:

"Charlie Sheen."

Yes, he just got fired from the favorite show of Austria's incest monster Josef Fritzl. But this is all a part of Lord Sheen's master plan...

It's remarkable seeing people's reactions to Sheen's multimedia free-for-all. Naturally, the 24-Hour Talking Heads can't get enough of a celebrity going buckwild, and for such an unprecedented, unrelenting spree. But it's the range of reactions from the people on the ground that's so interesting.

Arguably, most people are laughing at him. Then there are people who outright loathe him for his unrepentant excess; his refusal to be chastised.

There are also people (arguably mostly men) who look at him as someone who's living the dream.

He's truly living in the moment. Not apologizing for anything he's done in the past. Not prostrating himself before any institution/religion/studio/job. He's doing whatever he wants to do, saying whatever he wants to say—RIGHT NOW. And it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks because he's redefining "WINNING" for himself.

You clear all the easy jokes aside, there's something liberating about the idea of that.

How nice it would be to NOT be haunted by regrets... fears... desires...

Of course, there's one thing he's got that allows him the paradise found in his Sober Valley Lodge: shitloads of money. That helps pay for a lot of winning. Also helps to more cavalierly weather the loss of a major job. At least he can collect unemployment now—when does that winning streak stop???

The Church of Shitloads of Money. That's a religion I'd seek for salvation.

Support the Church of Charlie Sheen.
