Mike Tyson on Oprah

damn.


Dude is so heavy. He really needs a therapist. Being on the verge of tears constantly is soooooo bad for you. I am assured that all of his problems rest on his father and the lack of his presence. It is so important to teach young boys how to deal with their emotions. He obviously copes with his feelings by crying. Crying is the first instinct to hurt, but as you mature - you cope with your feelings a bit better and avoid opportunities to get hurt. I think his parents just super-failed at raising a strong confident man. What strikes me is that Mike was completely normal but out of fear he turned into a raging hateful monster - and the public applauded and praised his ferociousness. crazy. But now he, as a newly realized man, is turning backward and self-learning what he should have learned as a child.

I love Mike - His innocence, his sexy body, his stutter, his sensitivity, even his ferocious immature child-likeness. yup.

I couldn't imagine a woman filling the role of wife - not feeling like his mother. Mike just wants to be loved - plain and simple. I feel the same way about Mike Tyson as I do about Michael Jackson. The public is entertained by raw natural talent - but after you are trained professionally and reach the full capacity of your talent - the world looks for something else to be shocked and entertained by. Like animals at a zoo.

Mike's numerous championship wins, his marriage to Robin, the devastating loss to Buster Douglas, the Holyfield ear biting thingy, and recently the loss of his sugary sweet daughter Exodus - were not enough to entertain. If I am calculating correctly - the media won't stop ogling and prodding until an absolutely ridiculous fortune is made from interviews, bullcrap souvenirs, t-shirts, pictures, bobble heads, etc.
I guess I'm joining his craziness - cause I want to breast-feed him, change his diapers, push him on the swings, put him in little league, tell him to go push the bully back, and go off on him for not cleaning his room and coming in after the street lights came on.

Mike has presence of mind though. I think that’ll be the deciding factor in his future.

Luv u Mike.
