12.22.11 Adam Arrested, Released NO CHARGES FILED

You can count me in this team. I have two sons and have intervened in a number of squabbles over Legos. They have both ended up in time out. It is a teaching moment and not a disaster.

Adam is not alone in Finland, he is with the guy with whom he's been living for several months and it seems that that guy is very very special to him:)))

Awwww. Cancel that trip to Lapland. Adam is probably on Santa's naughty list now.

wow- much ado about nothing!
Like always: Gates open - gates will close. Not going to worry....but I expect to read a lot of crap for a few days. Forcefield up - Adam taught us that one. He will need it too, so we might as well join him there.

I think publicly all will be fine when this is over. Adam got a bit closer to the lyrics in his song than I ever could imagine and if in interviews he is ever asked about this incident, he can change focus onto his song - almost eery how this works.

I too had til today the perception that while Adam wanted his lyrics on the new album to be very real and much closer to home, that the lyrics of BTIKM were casting a more extreme picture than really befitted him. And now reality has kind of proven me wrong. Still have trouble imagining Adam as "cold as ice", see him rather as the opposite, but I guess, the rest pretty much became reality.

Adam went onto a reality show and in many ways I think that three years later - he is still on it, just that it is now running 7 by 24. And we have become not only the audience, but also the Simons and the Paulas and the Randys in this saga - the judges. And I think we should more be the fans.

The lines between fandom, real personal life, media-world and art are blurring in surreal ways here and I am starting to find this whole thing spooky in a The Truman Show kind of way and I am trying to figure out how to remove myself a bit from the scene and yet I am living under that same tent where all this show is happening.

Personal side...that's his business, my job is to support him as a fan, not drag more of his personal life into this public place here. So therefore, I'll keep my thoughts to myself, most things were somewhere said already by others anyhow.

The one thing I do want to comment though is that I struggle with the fact that media is now officially coming in here, signing up as users, posting links to the English translation version of their Finnish articles, to get hits to their site out of our Adamtopia traffic.

It's the first time I am a bit hesitant to welcome somebody here. WTF. So tomorrow the National Enquirer and every lousy blogger in this world comes signing up here, first using our texts (heard this here, did not follow up on that, so not sure what was used) and then posting their articles here with links to get the 10-20K hits they can potentially get out of this site. I understand that what we are writing here is public, but grrrrr..talk about blurring the line and changing the roles of the participants in this reality game. Me not likey. I understand that this site is open to all, but I thought it was a fan site, not a site for media, who I presume are not fans. I realize they could sign on anonymously and post the same links and we would never know, but still. Was kinda taken aback by that. We know here since a while that some media are picking their info from our archives, but using our posts and placing their links here is different, imo. Will need to think about all that some more. Am I the only one concerned about this?
