And the Award for Crazy Face of the day goes to: This weird guy from Florida!

CNN.com posted a video today about a very horny Floridian named Joshua Basso who ran out of minutes on his prepaid cell phone, and in an act of desperation, called 911 repeatedly for phone sex.

As ridiculous as that sounds, what's more ridiculous is the 80's phone sex ad the producers so tastefully placed in the first 20 seconds of this report.

Look at the mug on this guy. Just screams genius, doesn't it?

On the Chris Brown and Rihanna incident, I want to make a point about obsession.

Obsession != love. If you are obsessed with someone, or someone is obsessed with you and they seek reciprocity in their obsession, you are in a dangerous situation.

An obsessed person will always think of their love as selfless. They believe they would do anything to keep the object of their obsession in their life.

But here's the thing: real love is selfless, obsessive love is not and can not be selfless. It actually undermines real love.

To be obsessed is to project your innermost needs and desires onto another person or object. It is the epitome of self-centeredness and narcissism. But if you do not know what love is, it may feel like love.

This is where being young comes into play. When you're young, the kind of attention and passion that comes from being involved in an obsessive relationship can actually seem flattering. When someone wants you so deeply that the thought of you sharing any part of yourself with another causes them physical pain, it's an ego boost. This is especially true if you are short on self-esteem to start. You may feel cared for in a way you've never known before. You may feel like a god in your lover's universe. This is very dangerous.
