People Have Been Worrying About Me
I've done some stupid things over the past few weeks to really make my loved ones become concerned about me. There's nothing I can do to change that now, except write this to them, as well as all of you. I've made my priority in life, at least for the last 2-3 weeks, the recording a great Steve-O rap album. Making this album has been a magical experience– an adventure through wonderful, horrible, and everything in between.
To anyone that chooses to be critical of my decision to make this rap album, I've got bad news for you, it's a great album. I've been recording it with the producers of the one and only G-Unit and it is, indisputably, incredible, and made by the most talented people in rap music. So, since there's no criticisizing the quality of my album, anyone who chooses to will do nothing but sell units for me– if that's what you're into, let me thank you ahead of time. Thank you. Something about embarking on this album-recording mission made me feel compelled to get back into a really unhealthy lifestyle consisting of heavy, major, drug abuse. I don't know why that is, but, I can't change that now. I can't change the fact that I'm solely responsible for the fact that my family and loved ones have been worried beyond sick about me, and that I've been very much "off the radar" for so much of this time. The only thing I can do about that is assure everyone that I'm, indeed, in a much better place than I was a couple of weeks ago, and that I'm simply swamped by this monstrous ocean of work that I've chosen to take on.
Right now I'm sitting at the business center of an airport hotel. I'm worn out and frustrated for many reasons, including the simple fact that making a great album is just that much of an emotional investment, and a very time-consuming one, at that. Furthermore, there's a great deal more than rap music that I have going on my career, a reality which has forced me, more than once, to drop everything and fly back and forth between New York and Los Angeles — for no more than one day's obligation. That's just how it is, and it's frustrating.
Now, let me describe a few events of the last few days. I returned to my secret "hip hop hideaway" in upstate New York, a residential home, deep in the woods, which is inhabited by G-Unit staff who have been delegated to look after me (i.e. sequester me, babysit me, and keep me working at this blistering pace that's not slowed down since this process began). In this house in the woods, I got into the habit of letting three tiny little dogs out of this little cage, a cage that is visibly designed to harbor no more than one animal. I hate to see animals in cages. Well aware of how the house is utilized to keep the dogs in, and having an idea of the perimeters outside the house that serve the same purpose, I felt very comfortable indulging in my habit of freeing these dogs to roam around the inside of the house, answering only to their own free will. After I let the dogs out of the cage one time, something really bad happened, one of the dogs got out of the house and was hit by a car which was speeding through the windy, woody roads.The dog died and, for many valid reasons, I feel the brunt of responsibility for that fact. Without interrupting my recording schedule (although it required me to sacrifice a full night's sleep) I arranged and attended the proper burial of that dog, at a very upscale pet cemetery near the Bronx in New York. That dog dying sucked.
Today I was supposed to return to LA for work related to my new television series, Dr. Steve-O. I wound up in a situation where I stood no chance of making my flight (which is OK because my obligation in LA is not until after 4pm PST tomorrow, and I've since secured a guaranteed seat on a 6:45am flight out of New York (which is 3:45am LA time, giving me plenty of time to make it). What's not translating into these words I'm typing is my frustration over the fact that I can't be with a special person in LA tonight. I'm stuck at this airport hotel. The driver from the car service we called to get me to the airport talked my fucking ears off the entire way to NYC. That asshole yapped at me the point that I felt, literally, suffocated. Despite his abhorrent lack of professionalism, I tipped the man one hundred US dollars, while trying to negotiate with the airline on my cellphone. The same driver, who sucked the fucking life out of me on that ride, felt it was so important to give me a hug that I wanted absolutely no part of, that he grabbed me– knocking my phone out of my grasp and sending it freefalling to the cement. My phone now displays nothing to me when I open it.
The purpose of this long message, is to assure my loved ones that I am, indeed OK now. I'm over-worked, worn out, frustrated beyond belief, and helplessly missing this special person in Los Angeles, but, I'm OK. I can't call, and I left my computer charger in the restaurant that Knoxville brought me to for our "Everyone's worried sick about you Steve-O" lunch. I left it there because I cared about nothing but Knox hearing how good the work I've been doing for this album is. So, I think I've written everything I needed to write. I will, despite this incredible amount of frustration and difficulty, appear for all of my professional obligations. I will continue to be professional, I will get through the mountain of work I've delegated for myself, and I will be OK. There is no reason to worry about me, nothing is wrong with me barring work-related stress. Please, nobody worry about me right now, I'm simply working harder than I ever have before and, even though I can't call or e-mail as much as everyone wants me to, I'M OK! Please, forgive me for being "off the radar", and know that the only reason I'm unreachable is that I'm working my fucking ass off. OK, I think I've covered everthing. I'm going to retire to my shitty airport hotel room and rest. I will be unreachable, and I need everyone to be able to deal with that– all of my bad luck isn't entirely my fault. I love you all,
Steve-O
I WANT HEM TO TOUCH ME
:)
I HATE HIM!!!!!! FIRST?
First!
FIRST
YES FIRST
First
I thought he was dead.
FIRST on top! bitches!!!
FIRST!
He had to have been coked out to type this much. We aren't worried, trust us. FIRST!!!
TOP TEN shitties!
BULL SHIT!!!!!!!
Who really gives a shit? SteveO was funny once but now he's just aging. Pathetically. Time to grow up, you overgrown adolescent. Grow up and go away. Oh and the rap album's going to suck ass.
boo hoo hoo; who cares
You have to give the man credit for taking the time to address the people who care about him and who he's been ignoring. I'm sure my mother wishes I'd do the same thing. Write to her, I mean… not kill a dog and do a crap-load of drugs…
He's not that articulate… that was written by an agent or publicist trying to drum up drama for him… typical Hollywood!
Fucking stupid people and about commenting first. Who the fuck cares? How fucking old are you? Anyways. Steve is a tool. Enough Said.-Carla
CARLA- you're #18??!?! wow what a d-bag!
what the fuxxxx
he should stick to putting gross shit in his mouth
not having shit come out of it
:)
rofl @ #20
Steve-O is that articulate and did write this himself, he has a website which he updates regularly and a message board which he regularly posts on. All of this can be found by going to his web-site www.steveo.com. I don't normally take offense when someone slams a celeb but at least do it for the right reasons
sure slam his drug use/abuse all you want but don't slam his intelligence without speaking to the man himself, he would blow most of us out of the water on any IQ test out there.
He must be going away to the Pin for a while.
Face the facts. he's out of control. One more piece of celebrity roadkill. I give him a year.
Hey, at least it will be better than K-Fed's album.
umm….doesnt he mean "Intervention" - not "Every one is worried" lunch???
wow, you guys are pretty mean… i would feel like shit i saw a dog get hit by a car and felt it was my fault.
get a heart
i hear he's on a SERIOUS PCP binge from a very close source who has been working with him recently
Lol a rap album. What a douche!
Wow, talk about not taking any responsibility and blaming everyone and everything else. HE let the dogs out…. HIS FAULT. Not the speeding car. The driver talked to him through the trip. POor baby. Then god forbid, wanted to give him a hug. What an asshole!
This whole rambling poor me manifesto is disgustingly self-centered, self-absored, blaming… typical addict.
How can you hate someone you don't even know? As much as we like to think that we "know" these celebrities, we don't. Give the man a break…yeah, drugs are bad and yeah he takes things to extreme levels but he's TRYING to own up to it and accept responsibility. Who knows what's going to happen to him but how about giving him the benefit of the doubt??
Any bets on when Steve-O will die from a heroine overdose?
Steve-O ROCKS!
Junky (#30) : actually he DID take blame for the dog being run over. he said it was for VALID reasons that he felt at fault. cuz it was his fault. Yes, he's a junky and rather than dish about what a loser he is…why not just ignore him or the whole thing? seriously. I'm not a big fan of his, but it looks like he really is trying to do better….based solely on this email.
well people do care!!!! why would he be died why did you even bother to read it?
What is wrong with you haters? Someone takes the time out of a busy schedule to explain and reassure, and this is the thanks you give? For all of you who say You Don't Care….you took the time to read it didn't you? Find something else to do, look in a mirror and do something with your own damn lives.
I hear he's dating Kat Von D.
Poor Kat.
Steve-o is making a life on his own terms gotta respect the man for that.
I need help building support for my charity website if you guys can check it out and help spread the word. Thanks.

sounds like my exe, who was a whiney loser too "poor me- i have to fly between ny and la"- COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS asswipe
What a massive load of bullshiz. Wah wah, it's all about you…
Ha
finally, some good music…..
hah
That special some one is Fat Von D. A rap album. pathetic.He's gonna be dead in a year. Those has beens deserve each other
oh god…why?!?! =(
steve o is great i hope its a cool cd..
Boo hoo hoo. The limo driver talked to me. Boo hoo hoo. I missed my flight. Boo hoo hoo. I get paid to jet set around the country because I staple my balls to my legs. Boo hooooo. I went on a bender and forgot to call home. Boo hoooo. I'm a serious rapper. Boo hoo hoo I'm too stupid to actually watch the dog after I let it out. My life is soo horrible. Boo hoo hoo.
so you are famous, you got the money you never had, and we are to care that its a rough life working all the time. Either suck it up and do whats expected of you without complaining, or let someone else who is hungry to make it and accept the responsibilites of being famous without the bitching!
Steve SOBER up things will become much easier to cope with.
Who cares hes lame!
OMFG!
He did complain a bit in the e-mail but he also said how it's his own fault (mostly, except the limo driver). He's the one who agreed to this workload. And even though he's using the help of G-Unit, keep in mind this rap album is SUPPOSED to be a COMEDY album. He knows he sucks at rapping. As opposed to K-Fed. He even says K-Fed is his rap god.
The guy keeps himself busy as hell, working and entertaining, not even for the money. His dad was the fucking CEO of companies like Nabisco, Coca Cola, a Tabacco company and more. And he's got $ from Jackass alone. He doesn't need the money. He spends very little on himself (lives in a small apartment, doesn't own a car). In fact the most $ he spent was on his new teeth. He spends most of his money on others (gives his friends apartments in the same building as him, help supporrt his niece etc). Yeah, he's a Jackass, but he's a really good person. You can see it in his posts to his fans.
The only thing you're all right about is that he is pretty much loves himself. He admits he loves reading about himself on the internet, whether it's bad or good. So I'm sure you've all made him very happy with your comments.
HOLY BATASS!!! IT'S THE JOKER!!
whats with all the "first" business? can someone please explain?
OK A RAP ALBUM NO… NO…NO!!!!STEVE-O DO A SEX TAPE THATS THE WAY TO GO!!!!
Oh my God. Are they giving record deals to everyone now? Maybe the hyphen is just becoming really popular. K-Fed. Steve-O?
I dunno. This is messed up shit.
What a douchebag! And I can't believe I actually read all that either. God.
What an ass. Is it too hard for him to be pleasant to a driver or has his 15 minutes gone to his head.
The best and only advice I want to give Steve-o is get off of the fucking drugs and alcohol and your life will improve dramatically..Any one that does the incredibly ignorant and dangerous things you do cannot have the other infractions in your life..If you continue, you will probably not only hurt yourself but you'll physically hurt friends and love ones and that I can guarantee you will happen because of your mental makeup…Goodluck with the rap album and again, stay off the drugs and booze (and get some rest)
HATE HIM, WHAT A LAME O
WHY is he famous?
The man has a cult following, and I highly doubt hes going to give a rats ass about what any of you, most of all, you Perez, say abut him.
hope mr steve-o is ok…i think he is a true kick
Well, I take a lot of car services for work and yes, it is a pain in the ass when you get a chatty driver. They are being hired to DRIVE not engage in conversation. I don't expect the driver to give a shit about MY opinions on life; why does the driver expect me to give a shit about his? I know this sounds rude, but 95% of people who are using a car service are generally WORKING and a long ride on a car either represents A) time to catch up on phone calls or email, or B) time to CHILL OUT and just veg.
What was all that about the house in the woods and the dogs?? He sounds like the Uni-bomber
he is hot in a freaky way!
HES A RETARED
He did a huge line of coke and wrote a rambling email. News?
-sigh- … love that kid.
Steve-oohhh…man. You've become one of those chicks on Road Rules or America's Next Top Model who start crying on national T.V. Just don't do it - publicly anyway.
Steve-oohhh….man. You don't have to go public with EVERYTHING.
Poor Steveo, and Johnny and Bam and all them morons who think their extereme stupidity is funny and cute.
Who the fuck cares
steve-o's gone emo…**sob sob** cut cut**woe is me**
everyone has problems mate..get ova yourself
Man, Steve-O is in serious denile. The guy has dilluted himself to a danderous level. When his album tanks he will probaly go down in flames. Hope we don't hear about him on CNNs Breaking News.
Get some prof. help buddy.
if i was stevo id get all your addresses and kick your asses like jay and silent bob
this is gonna be worse than fed-ex's "musical" offering *gags*
steve rapping ha haha
I though he was supposed to be dying sometime soon.
Let's hope so before this monstrosity hits the charts.
Yeh, sure it must be exciting being apart of a record music and a TV show. But, that doesn't mean the dude works harder or more hours during the year than most people. More power to him if shit works out for him tho and his media turns out above par.
LMAO!!! At least he's doing something with his life though…
What the hell………………………thats all i got
SteveO and all his "Jackass" friends are really annoying and immature, especially for their age.
I never realized he was the "Scream" killer. What a weird shaped face.
Pure comedic genius.
Omg i hate him!a rap album will suck.
ew
i l0ve steve-0 he rockz!! \m/
This has been exciting news for some time now. I post on Steve-O's official forum, which he posts on himself. I've seen almost every bit of footage he's been in. Believe me guys, he's a smart guy. I've seen him throw down some rhymes already and he's got great potential to really come up with some cool shit. And he's passionate about it. Go Steve.
Druggy Mess R.I.P.
Steve-O, Johnny K., Pontious, and the whole Jackass/Wildboys crew are brilliant dudes, and they represent some of the greatest skills and nobility of conduct my generation has ever seen. They're also balls-out dudes, with talents and twists, which means nothing to 99% of you weak-minded fools and women that like to sit on your asses pretending you've ever accomplished anything other than text-messaging and asset allocation from your dads and your hen-pecked moron boyfriends. I feel they may be some of the greatest men of my generation, and I am writing a script worthy of them entited: THE KLONDIKE GOLDRUSH, FROZEN RIVER OF DREAMS which is about Klondike goldrush, with incredible men and women of fortune and abject failure. It is about dreamers and do-ers that dared to chase fortune and fame in the most severe conditions on the planet. It is also about the outfitters, the swindlers, the brothers on the trail. And, like the Jackass crew, it is funny as hell and a testament to greatness and the glory of the journey. Sincerely, Professor Boughton
he is so disgusting
Steve o is hot but his album is going to suck! Isn't he getting a little too old to be doing hard drugs? He should stick to pot and then maybe his family won't be so worried.
why havent any of the jackass people gotten killed in one of their stuns yet
I LOVE STEVE-O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he makes me want to puke, how do u get soo rich from being a pig?? who knows! now we will give "johnny knox" a chance….
I give this guy 3 more years of life before we find him dead in some seedy motel forever at the center of some jacked up Hollywood sex mystery a la Bob Crane.
fuk off u cunts get to know steve-o first before u talk shit about him!
steve-o is the man!!
bi-polar much?
You have to give the man credit for taking the time to address the people who care about him and who he’s been ignoring.
STEVE-O,
if you read this, would you consider meeting me? i PROMISE you would be EXTREMELY happy and i'd help relieve all your work-related stress. i know you have a special person in LA but maybe you could have a special person in NYC too???
xoxoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxooxxooxoxox
His album is probably gonna be really bad…
Yeeeeaaaah, he's on coke.
I
