    I'd trade with her in a heartbeat. Then use my millions to wipe my tears.
    You said if you want to be famous, this is the price you pay. I was just thinking yesterday how I would love to be a driver without the fame. The unfortunate part is that certain people can't have a love for certain things without becoming famous. We all know how I love to use my experiences as examples.....Do you think that when Dan and I opened a shop that we knew that I would get recognized at the Waffle House of 4 am while I was drunk and just left the club? Do you think that we ever thought that becoming drivers meant that we had to push ourselves into the spotlight to make it? Well we didn't. The simple fact is that we tried to make it just by being good drivers and having love for the sport (drag racing and drifting), but until we made sure we got media attention....we weren't making it. Somehow TV and magazines change all of that.

    Some people have a love for entertaining and because of our nosey asses we can't let Britney go to Starbucks without a paparazzi fest...simply because she is a singer??? We can't let her make any mistakes...simply because she is a singer??? We can't not by the enquirer...simply because she is a singer??? Oh wait, I forgot...she is also rich. Everything that all of us want to be. We want to know that she makes mistakes and that she sucks...because she has millions of more dollars than us....and she deserves to be stalked because that "is the price she should pay for being rich."

    You know it wasn't always like this. People used to be able to have careers and keep their business to themselves...not anymore. There has been a other entire industry formed over our noseyness....called paparazzi.

    The world is full of stupid people that like to bother, interrupt, take pictures of, and live through the lives of others that are more successful than them and in the public eye. Those that strive for great success in what they do should realize what that success brings. In some careers it brings nothing but the benefits of doing well. However, if you do something the public has an interest in...and your goal is to be great; you should expect that if you do well one day you will be recognized. I'm not saying anyone deserves to have their privacy invaded, be stalked, etc. I'm just saying once you reach that level of fame, expect it and deal with it. No reason for anyone to feel sorry.

    Me? I couldn't care less if I saw Britney or anyone else walking down the street, at a restaurant, etc. I'd leave them alone and go about my day.

    I'm sure she realizes what success brings. Everyone goes through hard times in their life. Not everyone has the entire world recording how they handle things. That's all I am saying. It's easy for some to sit here and judge. I'm just not that kind of person. I try to keep an open mind and put myself in others shoes.

    Tracy STFU and get on the beach.

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.
