Demons, Demons Everywhere

I listen to the Howard Stern Show every day. Like millions of others I get caught up in the lives of the entertainers and the show is pretty much open in all areas.

Over the course of the last few years Artie Lange has been the funny sidekick who's life is dissected at every turn. He is also a very successful entertainer, actor and even a bestselling book writer. His book was scary for the life he lived, but quite good. It made you feel for what he's gone through.

You would think millions of dollars, season tickets to the Yankee games, and pretty substantial fame would chase his demons away, but a few weeks ago, he stabbed himself nine times (or the story goes) in an effort to end his days.

Howard explained that we are all chasing away demons and said that lately Artie's demons have been winning.

First off, a true shame. Anyone in that much pain deserves a little sympathy. A life shouldn't go in that direction.

And the demons are there, right? Yet we are all supposed to have coping mechanisms that keep us from plunging a knife into ourselves.

The sadness train seems to really be rolling these days, and I pray for that poor guy. I suppose money doesn't provide any sort of answer, you know?

One day at a time.

Keep those demons at bay.
