2. Newblog2011: 09/21/11 Stella Artois ad
In addition to saying “She is a thing of beauty,” the ad on the billboard by the highway near the Pine Street Inn shows yellow liquid going from a tap into a clear glass. The glass has the red “Stella Artois” label on it.
I’m sorry that I had a lot of problems over the 2 years and couldn’t make better decisions than I did. I never really meant to portray myself as a guru-type person; I said something about that more than a year ago. I wrote on Friendster, “I don’t want that responsibility for people.” But if the ways in which my saying things on the Internet before finding out what was going on, jumping to conclusions, saying things without considering what I was saying and what impact what I said would have; if all of that influenced anyone to listen more to people who were encouraging terrible things than otherwise would have happened, then I’m sorry. I’m sorry to everyone who might have been influenced and adversely affected by my mistakes.
I’m still under a lot of stress and will probably make more mistakes, but hopefully they won’t be as bad as the ones I’ve made before. I’m used to thinking of myself as being “the one with problems,” and of thinking of other people as always knowing what to do when I don’t, or even if I make a mistake. Being someone that other people look up to, even if they’re making fun of me at the same time, is something I’m not all that used to doing, so I’m also not all that used to having people take what I say very seriously and making important decisions based on it.
