Post B #2

Dear Anthony,

It seems that you are developing a serious drug problem. You are shooting coke nearly every night, and you can't stop. I know that rehab centers at that time were few, and far between, but you really should have gone in right away. Drugs will never help you, they will only hurt you. I have had countless experiances of this sort; not with drugs, but other things that are fun while they last and arn't worth it in the end. I can't wait until the next time you visit your mother for Christmans, because I hope that you would not dare get high while staying at your mother's house. Also, that creepy preasent that you left Haya was startling. Why would you ever think of sucking blood out of your arm with a syringe, writing a message on your girlfriend's car with it, and then expect her to like it? I am amazed that she did, and it's funny how this isn't your worst idea.

When I look at the world, you are not the only person that has these problems, and I see many people that are on a path to developing such problems. From what I have heard, Minneapolis is the drug capitol of the midwest, and I have noticed many people on the streets and in the news that appear to have drug addictions. There are countless articles in the newspaper that may not say that the people in them are drug addicts, but you just know that they are. I know that you are still in high school at this time in the novel, but the fact that you use so regularly is apalling. Also, sex appears in the news often and is featured in tabloids and such. I have also noticed that you seem to have a lot of it. Constantly sneeking off to the janitor's shed during class with different girls. You are very naughty Anthony Kiedis.

"There was Louis Armstrong with his Hot Five, and also other bands that had 'Red Hot' this, or 'Chili' that. There was even an English band that was called Chilli Willi and the Red Hot Peppers, who later thought we had stolen their name" (108). I find this to be quite funny because many things. First of all, how had nobody taken that name? It is really a great name and would be the first one I'd pick if I had to pick one that had to do with chilli peppers. Another thing is that I hate how people get sued over nothing in today's society. If you are found guilty of discriminating against someone for a job, you pay them 1.5 million dollars! What the heck!? That is probably more than you would make in three dozen years in that job, and you get it because you claim racism? Lame. But back to my point, I'm sure there was an attempted law suit against the Red Hot Chilli Peppers once they became famous.
