WEEK 2
Dear Brandon,

I have a problem with my friend and her boyfriend. Not only is he disrespecting my friend, he's direspected me and the rest of our friends. Recently we had a party at my friend's house, and her boyfriend came to it. They had an arguement, and my friend went out on a walk with somebody else to cool down. Her boyfriend did not like this, and went through all of the bathroom cabinets until he found a razor blade, and started cutting himself in front of everyone. Thankfully, he only cut himself once and it wasn't serious. When my friend got back from her walk, her boyfriend decided to run off. He had taken a massive bottle of vodka with him, and no doubt he had ecstacy pills as well, as he is addicted to ecstacy. We eventually found him in the garden, and got him back in the house.

Later that night, when he had sobered up, he 'took advantage' of two girls who were there and were under the influence of alcohol. Three of us took my friend aside and told her what had happened, but she didn't want to believe us, cuz she thinks he loves her so much. Then, when quite a few people had gone out to get food, he started demanding a threesome and cigarettes, and said if he didn't get them, he would kill the five girls (including me and his girlfriend) and the one guy who were there. The guy managed to get all of us girls into one of the rooms together while he went to calm him down. We had to call another one of the guys, who ran back and also helped calm him down. He finally went to sleep after that. Also, within the last two weeks, my friend's boyfriend got hold of a knife and held it to his dad's throat, threatening to kill him, and has apparently cheated on my friend yet again.

This guy is messing up my friend's life, what can we do?

Dear Mel xo,

I'm not to sure you need my opinion to figure out what to do with this situation. It's kind of obvious, but i'll blabber anyways. So lets see, what does one logically do in this situation? My first guess is, get the kid out of your lives. Somewhat because he's a drug addict, cutter, and overall weirdo of sorts, but also, because he's making your lives not fun. Who wants to look after someone like that? Seems to me like he's just legit, not a good boyfriend or friend. Good bf's obviously don't do that, nor do they binge on drugs and alcohol and make everyone worry about them. This story is ridiculous, i almost don't think it's real lol. This is what i would do. I don't know the kid so i can't judge what his real intentions are, but i would study him and try to figure out if this is some sick cry for pity or if he is truly a mess. If you think he's legit messed up, then it's your job as a human being to call someone and get him help. If you know it's bullshit, then let him continue cutting himself at party's and losing friends who cares. All that matters is that you and your friend get away from him. Go out and have fun. Your friends shouldn't cause stress, they should relieve it. Meet some nice boys that like and respect you. It's as easy as that. People come and go. Sometimes people are here forever, most of the time they are not. I highly doubt this guy will be in your lives forever. Ohhhh yeah, if he pulled a knife on his dad don't you think his father would have done something about it? hahaha, seriously now.

with love,

WEEK 1
Dear Brandon,

If there was a throw down between you and Jeremy, Who'd win?

The Loose Cannon


Dear Loose Cannon,

      That's an interesting question. I have never thought about it actually. Lets see. Well, I have pretty big arms and the heart of a zulu warrior, but Jeremy has been doing this ridiculous out of control wrestling stuff for the longest time, and he's fast and agile. It would be an interesting bro-down. However, it will never actually happen. Both of us have probably argued to point of fists, but we are pretty mature and are good at talking things out. I'm pretty positive it would never happen. Also, we wouldn't want to get all bruised up and what not. What if we were going out somewhere that night and our hair was messed up or something? We would both look like suckers.
