Woe Is Madonna's Bro

Just found the link to Madonna's bro's story on abc news.

I'm no Madonna fan. In fact, I think she's not all that talented, really. And she doesn't shock me. But I do admire how she works out...and she does seem like she cares about her family.

But her brother! Give me a break.

I'm so sick of the pity party.

Part of the reason that his tale of woe resonates with me is that I've been dealing with both of my brother's sad tales about their shitty childhood.

Give me a break.

They are so busy blaming everyone else for their problems...I guess that's what you do when you reach a certain age (late 30's, early 40's), take a look in the mirror and don't like what you see. Madonna's brother, my brothers, they don't want to take responsibility for how their life has turned out, so they decide to hold a pity party.

I just don't have any time for that.
