So I found out Avril is a coke head

Yep thats right, the title says it all. I guess it took something like that to make me want to write in my blog again. Damn its been a long time! I'm having writers block I guess, I can't seem to put current events in my life into interesting words. But this topic I had to write about damnit...and may I begin with WTF??!! Is it just me who is surprised by this news? Or am I ignorant when it comes to this shit because I didn't see avril as somebody who was into heavy drugs. I am aware that a lot of celebrities have played with drugs at some point in their lives, or for a large portion of it...but I still thought I could tell which ones probably did that, and which ones didn't. Maybe I should name the source of this baffling news. My sister is friends with the base player in her band ( charlie), and he comes from burlington so once in a while he'll come back to visit and see a show. My sister knows quite a few bands since she toured with "Boys Night Out" because her boyfriend used to be their drummer ( Ben). He now plays for NAVY and I guess Charlie catches some of these shows when he's home. I don't know why but I guess he doesn't care about leaking secrets out about the girl responsible for his career. Not sure how he put it but it was mentioned to my sister that Avril is heavy into the cocaine, and I guess it has been for a while now. She was hesitant to tell me but I got it out of her and I kind of wish I didn't. I didn't believe it at first because there is so much talk about celebrities that is just pure shit, but later I considered the source and the way my sister said it...and deep down I know it's true. I don't know why I liked Avril so much really, hard to explain. She had some qualities I thought I had too and she gave them a voice. I loved her music most ( and will continue to listen to), it made me respect her. But I tend to put too much faith in people and I'm not going to do that anymore. I can only expect things from myself I assume. I think we all have something or someone we look up to and put our faith in, and thats important, but next time I'm not choosing it to be a celebrity.
