i tried to warn her
the year was 2004. the red sox were still cursed. i was on the road 80% of the time. and i was living in a one-bedroom apartment with a cat that was beginning to hate the world...and a computer. this annex was not yet fully established...so there was cadeland. technically, there STILL IS cadeland (a hearty 'thank you' to the 5 people who visited in 2007), but it's not used in the way it was then.
every once in a while, i pour through the pages just to do it. sometimes, i find things that are still relevant.
take this musing for example:
"an open letter to jamie lynn spears"
10.06.2004
dear jamie lynn-
what ever you are about to do...don't.
trust me, just because your big sister has had success with her music and acting (okay, just music) career, and just because you look just like she did when america fell in love with her, doesn't mean that you have to follow in her footsteps. do us all a favor and go to school, pursue a career in teaching and live off of your sister's money.
siblings of annoying celebrities who try to go it on their own, more times than not are doomed to mediocrity at best. does the name kieran culkin mean anything to you?
so, unless you want to be constantly scrutinized and compared to what britney WAS and eventually suffer the same, embarrassing freefall into a "jacko"-type punch line existence, please think before you jump headlong into this crap-bag called celebrity.
you don't need to do it. you have money now. please, use your life to do something that will benefit people.
concerned
-cade-
p.s. if you wouldn't mind signing the enclosed picture and returning it, that would be great.
anyway, i found it entertaining - in light of current events.
that is all.
EDIT: i also enjoyed re-reading this quite a bit.

Do you have any past letters warning Dr. Phil not to turn into a giant tool?
Cade, I tried to get some bad advice at Cadeland recently... Did you get my question?
marc, i check that email about once a month...if that often. so, no, i haven't gotten it.
maybe i will resurrect the segment in some form on my sidebar. check back.
Donald and I have put ourselves on the list to adopt her and Britney's babies.
bring back "Ask Cade" I'm in some serious need of Cade Counseling!
jessie just made me laugh at loud...
I agree with Dale, Cade...someone in this couple should be doing some counseling...it's time to resurrect the site. :)
Oh, that was funny...or sad.
