Clearwater and LRH

I just realized after reading the article on Scientology in Rolling Stone that I will be traveling to the Scientology capital of the world. Which is Clearwater, Florida also home of the spring training of the Philadelphia Phillies. I wonder what the fightin’ Phils think about this? Also, is it any wonder that the Philly mascot is a fanatic then? It’s all making sense now!

I find it sad that Tom Cruise can be such an engaging actor on screen but such a loony tune in real life. I guess that means he is a really good actor. But still, it’s sad. That being said, I knew a long time ago that Tom was crazy. It’s his laugh. That’s the only thing he can’t act well with. It’s the one hint of his utter insane nature. You see the madman there. It’s like where all the seams of his sane exterior are sewn together. I kind of want to trace back and see all of his old movies when he’s laughing to check my theory. Does he laugh in Taps? The Outsiders?

I also had a theory that Mimi should speak out about what Tom is really like and did she know he was crazy and all of that. Because obviously Nicole isn’t going to–she still has a career. The problem though as I discovered in the RS article is that Mimi is a Scientologist too. Hopefully, Katie will emerge and tell tales. You can tell she’s starting to realize this isn’t a great idea what with Tom trying to get her to sign over their baby solely to him legally so that he can raise the kid as a devotee to LRH. (That’s short for L. Ron Hubbard for the tragically unhip.)

In other news, my camera screen appears to be broken. Not sure how that happened but I think it’s still under warranty. Still, this means possibly no spring training photos.
