Kick
An e-mail exchange I had with pal Eric today regarding James Frey (read from the bottom up). That guy is like a train wreck to me right now...I can't turn away, I just gape in wonder at the carnage.

james frey is a giant whopper of an oxymoron. i wonder what he does all day? does he stay inside his house staring out the window and then write journal entries about all of the hair-raising, self-destructive things he did(n't do) all day?

My favorite quote:
"A Million Little Pieces" is "a subjective truth, altered by the mind of a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. Ultimately, it's a story, and one I could not have written without having lived the life I've lived."
What the f*** is subjective truth? Isn't that a giant whopper of an oxymoron?

i'd feel bad for him if he wasn't such an unapologetic a-hole.
i think he got his name right. other than that, it's hard to say.
i keep waiting to find out that he's never actually taken a drink or drug in his life.

I almost feel bad for that guy now...almost. What IS true that he wrote about?
