When keeping it real goes wrong -- the Gilbert Arenas files

Look, I know this shit happened on New Year's Day, but I was alternating hungover, shopping in Charlotte and then drunk all over again that day, so I did not get to it until like Monday, I think... A friend reached out to me last night to check and make sure I wasn't cutting my wrists or anything, what with not having posted yet this year. I explained what I had been up to since the holidays and promised new posts soon. Working on a project.

That is not what this blog is about, though. In one of the myriad of spinoffs of Flavor of Love , itself a sendup of The Bachelor , we find ourselves with a loser of not one but THREE VH1 shows; Rock of Love , Rock
