The Cruise Crazies
So, I know that Tom Cruise is the easy target du jour these days, and a more sensitive person might take a moment to consider giving the guy a break. But, the fact is, the dude is asking for it. And that, dear reader, is exactly what I find most _______. I’m waiting to see if by the end of this post I can appropriately fill in that blank. Perhaps the word is “amusing,” but it could just as easily be “vexing.” I’ve considered “sad,” though I’m tempted to say “impressed.” In any case, musing over Tom’s apparent lunacy has left my universe feeling totally discordant.Am I concerned for the former American darling’s mental well-being? No. We all know that he is off his rocker, but he seems pretty happy about it. And he’s not really hurting anyone along the way. In fact, he’s provided many people I know with endless hours of entertainment, most recently with his infamous new video the Gawker vigilantes refuse to take down. My question is, how does this stuff keep getting out? Why does he continue to put himself in these absurd situations? Certainly if anyone could keep the right people around to keep the lid on a big jar-o’-crazy airtight, it would be Tom Cruise. Then it hit me. Is Tom scheming? It does seem as though his Scientology mania has become his “thing” these days.
