That's Not Functional, Lamar



Every once and again we are reminded that the key word in the phrase 'Functional Addict' is 'Function'.  This week we focus on a very sad story in which one man has shown what kind of havoc addiction can wreak on your life if you are not careful.

In this case the reminder comes courtesy of Lamar Odom, once an NBA star lacing up for teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers and banging a Kardashian (well actually she was the fat ugly one so not sure if that counts as a positive).  Things have spiraled out of control for Lamar over the last few years having seen his level of play diminish and eventually being cut from the Dallas Mavericks.  But no, that was not rock bottom; Lamar had further depths to explore as he recently channeled Jacques Cousteau and dove deeper.

Lamar decided it would be a great idea to hole up in the word famous Bunny Ranch with a bag of coke, some herbal Viagra and a couple 5s and 6s (a reference to the quality of the women he paid $75k to catch his tears on their bosoms and protect him from the madness that is Keeping up with the Kardashians).  Lamar ended up overdosing on either the drugs, the herbals, or perhaps it was just all that mediocre pussy, and launched himself into a coma from which many thought he would never awaken.



Now, Lamar, we know that attention hungry clan of bitches can be a bit overbearing and we know you needed an escape from the omnipresent stage that is life with the Kardashians; but, now that you have woken up from your coma and have even begun learning to walk again, let us pros at Functional Addict give you some advice on how you can perform your next Houdini in a way that will leave you out of the spotlight, but with cash left in your pockets, and with your lucidity intact, all while staying off the covers of the tabloids.

First of all, make sure you get your drugs from a reputable supplier.  Lets stick to the adage that you can't trust these hoes.  Get a connect you can count on, and leave it at that.  This way you can avoid the coma next time, as exhilarating as it might have been to travel down that tunnel reaching towards the bright white light.

In addition, if you re going to spend a few days bustin nuts on a room full of bitches, next time plan ahead.  That means making sure that you can expect confidentiality.  Best way to ensure this would be to drop $600 on an intercontinental plane ticket.  This will kill a few birds with one stone:  first of all your chosen company will not recognize you and even if they do, they damn sure won't be able to speak English and therefore won't be able to rat you out to the paparazzi.  Why not try Thailand, the Dominican Republic, Brazil or any of the hundred countries where you can hole up with a team of sluts for a week or more and guarantee that they will keep their mouths shut (well, not until after you leave, that is).  As a bonus, your foray will be much cheaper, and the companionship will be of a much higher quality.  Instead of dropping $75k for 3 days with 3 women, you would only drop 1 or 2k.  Or if you really were intent on a splurge of that nature you could probably get a dozen third world women for a month, or a small harem for a year!  Lets be honest, you are a rookie in this game and you gotta think about the long term; this life of functional addiction is a marathon and not a sprint.  Just think about guys like Allen Iverson or Antoine Walker.  You can never have 'enough' cash, so be smart and make it last.

In closing, we are happy to know that you have survived this disaster and may even make it back to full strength.  This misadventure destroyed any chance of an NBA comeback, but that might be a good thing after watching your talent laguish towards the end of a great career.  There will be many orgies ahead for you, Lamar if you play your cards right.  Remember, keep the drugs clean, the women quiet, and the scenery international.  And most of all, step up your game and demand a better quality of booty!  You are letting the rest of us down.  You've got the dough, now use it the right way.
