Oh, The fake Fireman

Simply reading Steve's and Tina's ongoing coverage of the fake fireman, demented playwright, and just plain lunatic Peter Braunstein, has me in suspense.
I still stand by my first thoughts on this now infamous character. By most accounts this man was media hungry, and yet up until now his desired fame was continuously out of his grasp. We aren't talking about just one single area of his life either. Both his former relationships and the less than praised "plays" he put on- must have been disappointing to him to say the least.
And now, here he is stuck somewhere in NY, with his ability to fly to his beloved Paris next to impossible.
Halloween sex-attack suspect Peter Braunstein has been grounded by NYPD investigators, who slapped his name on an airport watch list so he can't flee the country. Continue Reading

Gawker is reporting that there may have been a spotting of the would be fireman.

And yet, with all this news, I would have to sit back and imagine that Peter is content in his few minutes of fame. He's hit the big time. All the ladies are talking about him. He's in the papers, on the television, and look the bloggers are typing out his name faster than he can say it. Mum-mm, contentment. He must be pleased.
Then again, going a bit further on this pretend ladies man, lets think about it for a minute. He clearly wasn't the rich famous playwright he desired to be. If you recall, he lived in his mothers basement. And, without need to beat around the bush- he was no winner with the women either. His fierce criticism of his ex girlfriend comes off more as a rather bizarre man trying to persuade the world that SHE was the problem. Although his overwhelming failures with women in whole speaks a bit louder against HIM.
And the whole fireman thing. Was his method of thinking "If they don't love you fro who you are- pretend to be someone else"? What a lonely life he must have made himself. I do believe that he went to that apartment with every intention of wooing the woman, and upon realizing that even with the costume- he had little chances of being desirable to her- his anger cut loose. Come on Peter- just because it got Cinderella her prince doesn't mean it's going to work for you.
Peter's women troubles, and his way of passing the blame unto the woman seem to go back as far as his first marriage. The one in which he left his wife to be the bread winner, supporting the two of them as he ran around to play house with a married student he attended school with. During the break up of the relationship- he pointed at his wife, and laid the fault at her feet.
It was hard to convince him that what he was doing was wrong, friends said. "He considered himself a feminist," one pal said. In 1994, Braunstein served his wife with divorce papers.
"He drummed up an excuse, said he couldn't be married to her anymore," a source recalled. "He said it was Donna's fault."
But one acquaintance of the pair said, "It was a complete smokescreen. A mutual friend finally told Donna [that] Peter was messing around."

It's just never your fault is it Peter? Women are just so hard on you.
Even better was the fact that the other partner in his affair soon left her husband- and became the woman who would later find herself at the mercy of his unforgiving writing skills.
But the bitter break-up of their own relationship would be the apparent beginning of Braunstein's downward spiral that allegedly led him to the Halloween attack. He is still on the lam in the city, cops said.

Peter's obsession with wanting to be famed for his talents even hampered the relationship with him and his father. Reports indicate that the pair stopped talking after the father made a comment about a play by Peter.
I believe this man is so twisted in his own self love and need for constant praise- he can't imagine that his numerous failures would be any of his own fault. It must be so hard to be so great, and yet no one but yourself can see it.

Yes, people are finally taking notice of Peter Braunstein. They are really starting to see him for the person he is. A demented, failure so twisted in his own thoughts of greatness that he compels those around him to shutter in disbelief. My, he must be proud.

He loves me, he loves me not, oh what the heck he loves me...

It seems to resemble a bit of a 3rd grade crush. Mag said first grade ... but it's really less annoying that having my ponytail pulled. He loves me... after all, he keeps linking to me . He loves me not... evidently that's why he uses my comments out of context and twists my words... he loves me, because clearly he likes to "poke the bear" (That 70's Show quote). Yes, I just referred to myself as a bear. A lot less hairy, but no less scary. Because anyone that thinks you should be locked up for the rest of your life is indeed scary. Especially when she likes to go around telling everyone how demented you are... and how she'd like to see you locked up forever. And even more scary when you know that it's the truth she speaks. And Lindsay, he is demented. And he should be locked up forever. And, well it seems that he is a fan of mine. Yep, that sick lil monkey can't help himself.

Mom Arrested After Baby Found Mauled By Dogs

This is a story that I really don't want to share, it angers me all the while breaking my heart at how someone could be so cold and callous. My only comment is that there is always a better way. Some may of thought of going to the hospital, others may have thought about calling someone- anyone for help. But the complete disregard this person showed is horrifing. PORTSMOUTH, Ohio -- Investigators said the badly-mauled body of a newborn infant was found Tuesday afternoon on the banks of the Ohio River. The next day, the baby's 21-year-old mother was arrested after admitting to a hidden pregnancy. The mother told investigators that the baby was still-born at home. She said she panicked and disposed of the baby boy a few miles from her home, NBC 4's Erin Tate reported. The investigation began after authorities received a 911 call from a frantic mother. Dispatcher: "911, what's your emergency?" Caller: "My kids were just outside, telling me that the dog was ch...
