Well, if you're saying that you don't do porn so that you can live large, but so you can give your kids a better life; that you're not a drug abuser, or take drugs to be able to do your job; that you've had a decent childhood free of abuse (verbal/physical/sexual) or parental neglect; and that you have a 4-year college degree. If all of that's true, then, I still think your choice is pretty extreme, but hey, I think you should get respect. Personally, I think it might have been nicer to have become a doctor to support kids, but everyone's got to make those calls for themselves I guess...

You sound like a responsible parent.

What can I say, if what you're saying is for real, then all the best to you Sinnamon.

  • My parent's, while divorced and both remarried were also good, upstanding types that worked regular gigs and weren't substances abusers. In fact, I didn't discover that my parent's even drank wine until I was an adult and my mom is a Methodist minister.
  • I wasn't abused (verbally, sexually, emotionally) growing up.
  • I don't need to use drugs to go to work.
  • While I enjoy making a pitcher of sangria on the weekend for a girl's retreat day at my pool complete with a hot male masseur and a gourmet meal, I'm not into using to get through my days.
  • I have not just a 4 year degree, but my Bachelor's degree from USC. (I actually worked at Hudson Comprehensive Health Center for a few years after college and left the biz but I hated my job and realized that I was relatively well known in biz and would always be recognizable so I decided to get back in the biz and capitolize of the name and image I created.)
  • No numerous retardly expensive watches and handbags in my closet for the sake of "flossing." I do have a thing for classic Tiffany pieces and E-Trade stocks however.)

    Funny you mentioned being a doctor... When I started college I wanted to be a nurse midwife. I received my Bachelor's, was accepted at Charles Drew University here in L.A. for their Master's program and realized that in many settings nurse practioners and midwives do all the work while doctor's take all the credit. I didn't want to have to call some pompous jerk that never stepped foot in a clinic on a golf course just to be able to write a prescription for tylenol for one of my patients.

    Yeah, you have to make those decisions for yourself.
