    Why am I not surprised?

    Lord, can I please have 1/10 of his talent, because it's obvious Daly's not using it the way he should...

              From what I've read he doesn't think he's wasting it and is unrepentant about everything. To his credit he is also not whining about his sponsors dumping him for his behaviour. He has said he knows what this is costing him but he doesn't want to be beholden to anybody else. Part of the reason he has so many fans is because of all his failings.

              The chief cause of failure in this life is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment.

                  I should have a lot of fans then...

                      I've met him, and he is indeed genuine... genuinely drunk and stupid, that is. When you visualize what he could have accomplished with his skills, it is easy to mourn the waste, whether he is repentant or not. Yes, the decision is his to make, but it is beyond his power to have his poor choices add up to anything but a cryin' shame.

                          Money doesn't affect your core values the way addictions can. And celebrities don't always have the privacy to wind down the way regular folk do, so they get more self imposed pressure (from becoming a celebrity) that can lead to addiction.

                          They also ask ones who would/might help keep them grounded, to go places/events/do things with them, even though their friends might be regular Joe's, who can't drop things at a hat, or afford to take off to wild places. DAMHIK
