the sad thing is I really enjoy listening to "loveline"... I get off at midnight CST, which is 10p PST when the show starts and I listen to it on the way home...

although I have noticed a pattern:

Girl "I sleep with guys who are *pick one or any combination: older, abusive, rich, younger, cheating, alcoholics, drug addicts* and I don't know what to do about it.

Dr Drew: "Some older male (usually father, if he was around) in your life was abusive towards you when you were a child, go see a therapist"

That's it. That's the entire fucking loveline show in a nutshell. Dr Drew blames the parents and tells them to go see a therapist.

that's not why I like the show.

I like it b/c that Striker guy always says funny shit and they always have guest speakers that put in their .02, which is often hilarious. My fave guest is Seth Green, who does like a ton of voices on family guy and one night he would answer the questions as family guy characters before Dr Drew stepped in with his usual "your dad was an asshole, go see a therapist" spiel.

anywho, it sucks now that he's sold out to a reality TV show. IMHO if he were to be doing a show, he should be loveline on TV (which I actually think they used to do).

oh well, good things never last.

Anybody see the premiere last night on Vh1? I only saw parts of it and while the idea of it peeves me a bit, I'll admit it's entertaining television. My only problem is Jaimee Foxworth being on there for a 'marijuana addiction'.

Now, as I understand it, marijuana isn't physically addictive. It's a mental addiction in the same way that watching your favorite movie/t.v. show or listening to your favorite band. I've read that there is an extremely low chance of getting addicted to weed but Foxworth states that she's been smoking weed for 10 years "every day, probably every hour". First off, that's way too much. There was a clip of her and at least two friends sitting in an apartment, smoking weed. One man said something to the effect of "We just smoked 12 blunts and you want to smoke another one?" Fuck that, 12 (even split between three people) is way too much, in my opinion.

At a later point in the episode, Jeff Conaway is seen having severe withdrawal symptoms and Foxworth states that she hopes she never gets that bad. This dumb bitch is making pot-smokers look bad. I've gone without marijuana for over a month and had no problem with it.

In fact, the only time I ever had what might be classified as a withdrawal symptom is the day after I've run out and I thought "I'm bored; I wanna get stoned" and then I find something else to hold my interest.

Anyways, just needed to get this off my chest.
