Charlie Sheen and Winning I speculated a few weeks ago as Charlie Sheen started his melt down that it was one of 3 things: 1.       He is still using drugs and somehow faking the tests. 2.       He is having a psychotic break (although he is king of old for a first onset those usually happen around 35 and he is 48) 3.       His behavior is a huge publicity stunt (any press is good press) Well today NBC’s reporter Jeff Rossen is tweeting “sources close to Charlie Sheen tell MBC news CBS has offered him his job back”. Almost proof positive his behavior has been publicity stunt. He has also started a concert tour with estimated earnings of 7 million dollars. He is selling Twitter endorsements. If making money is winning-then he surely is. I myself think he is channeling Gordon Gekko: “The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind.” Gordon Gekko Ironically, Sheen’s character Bud Fox later asks Gordon Gekko in the movie Wall Street “how much is enough? ” After this whole thing is said and done every person on this earth is only really going to need a 6 by 6 foot plot of ground. I just find it really remarkable that if he is using drugs-no one cares (except maybe his dad) as long as everyone is making money. If he is having a psychotic break-no one cares as long as everyone is making money. If it is a publicity stunt-no one cares as long as everyone is making money. The sky is falling in Japan and Libya and Charlie Sheen made the drudgereport. I know Connectzone’s blog should probably have been about technology or at least an important world event (there are plenty going on) but I just needed a little snark.   Fiber Attenuators
