The adolescent Bacchus
Caravaggio1595 – 1597

Like some of the population I followed the Johnny Depp V.  Amber Herd court case.

I guess I tuned in and followed it because  I am a Depp fan, but mostly I was curious because in all the years I’ve followed him in the media, he seemed to harm mostly himself as opposed to others. So when Herd came out with her story, I was truly stunned. I mean, wow I love Johnny but he seemed to be functioning in low gear most of the time so to hear he was some sort of raging beast all I could think was ” really? ”

To be honest, I didn’t think he would live to be in his late 50’s but he did by Jingo. So I’m on Team Johnny. He’s like the Keith Richards of my generation.

That aside, I didn’t post much about it on social media and I didn’t write about it here until the case was settled.

But during that time, I had it effing up to my ears with people reminding us on social media or in day to day conversations that with a war going on, the midterm elections coming up and far more important things going on in the world, why are ‘we’ ( they royal we ) paying attention to this case?

Well. It’s like this.

BECAUSE I WANTED TO, THAT’S WHY.

And if you think you have some sort of right to go into anybody’s life and tell them what to pay attention to or what not to pay attention to, get a dog. Dogs actually like to connect with people on that level.

So quit the nagging already. Don’t you have anything else better to do? Because from the ink ( well, keystrokes ) some of you have splashed out there I thought you did.

Ahem.
