Alexandra was asking around for a guest poster [postor? That looks awkward.], and she mentioned up Meatloaf on Celebrity Apprentice the other night.

I couldn’t help but feel badly for him. [If you don’t know what I’m talking about go search Meatloaf Celebrity Apprentice Meltdown on youtube or something. Don’t worry about me. I’ll wait.]
La dee da dee da....
You back? If you didn’t look, you lazy bum, I’ll go ahead and give a brief summary. Gary Busey kept asking him at Michael’s if he was going to buy paint and stuff for him too, which irritated him. If you’ve been watching the season at all, you know that Busey is driving everyone bonkers already. Then, when they got back, Meatloaf found out that Busey stole all of his supplies and completely ripped him a new one. [I told you. Watch the video.] Only, the thing is, Busey didn’t steal his stuff; they found it under some stuff like five minutes later. At that point, Meatloaf had no choice but to eat crow and apologize later. [How’s that for a brief summary? Goodness.]
Have you ever been in that kind of situation? Something has happened and rubbed you the wrong way, and you freak out. For a good six years of my life, that pretty much described my every other week. [I’m eighteen. You do the math.]
The question asked at panel [boardroom? What do they call it on this show? Panel is most def ANTM. Don’t get me started.] was about anger management. More specifically, has he or should he attend it? Which makes me wonder, if he needs it for reacting like that, do I? Did I, anyways? I mean, I never straight up started screaming at people before, but I have gotten all sassy and said things that I probably shouldn’t have said. [Cue the ghetto head bobbing and hand waving. Girl, hold my earrings.]
I think the worst of it was after weeks of fighting, I told my former best friend that she was dancing like a ho at a school dance, [Hey, if the stripper heels fit, wear them.] and her mother turned me in for bullying. No, wait. There was the time I slammed my cousin’s head in the door. Oh, or the time I beat the crap out of my sister for stealing the church clothes I brought to dad’s because she forgot hers. [Bitches be crazy.] [I had daddy issues. Get off my back.]*** But I digress.
Some anger problems like Meatloaf’s and mine stem from stress. The more stressed you become, the more likely you are to snap. Honestly, I think there is only so much management that can be done. I mean, I’ve tried the “count to ten” stuff, but then I just say what I was going to in the first place. Walking out of the room has always worked for me, but when you’re in an argument or something, that doesn’t always work. My best friend always tells me that she knows I’m the angriest when I stop talking all together. I know if I open my mouth, I have little or no control over what comes out.
At this point in my life, I don't beat my sister up [not that I could at this point.] or yell at people in my classes. I won't deny that I sometimes snap at people; my witty side comes out tenfold when I'm irritated. The anger is not completely gone.
The only cure for it, in my opinion, is removing myself from the stressful situation, if possible, and sleeping on it. Since that wasn’t possible for poor Meatloaf, he exploded.
In the end, all he could do was apologize and hope that no one rubbed his face all in it.
