Aww, poor Tom Cruise.  His father wasn't present and was a "bully and a coward". He was also "bullied" at 15 schools (*gasp*). How unfortunate.  I have a little something I'd like to say to him:

Dear Tom Cruise,

I, too, came from divorced parents and lived, for the most part, with my mother. I, too, had a father who made a few mistakes while I was growing up. I, too, was bullied at all the different schools I attended --  probably because I was a nelly fag.

Where we differ, Tom, is that I told my father (not a magazine) what I was feeling and now he and I have built an incredible relationship.  Unfortunately it's too late for you to do that but hindsight is 50/50. You see, Mr. Cruise, no parent actually knows how to be a parent and a good parent is one who can admit that he/she makes mistakes.  If I were you I'd consider myself lucky; it could have been much worse. If you don't agree, then ask a child who's been molested or beaten and burned or, worse, locked in a box for the first 10 years of their life.  I'd say that's someone who's parent is cowardly, wouldn't you?

As far as being bullied goes, boo-fuckin-hoo.  I'm betting you weren't as nelly as I was am so it couldn't have been that bad. Aren't you an action star who does most of his own stunts? What, then, is with the "I'm-A-Big-Pussy' act?

Looking forward to talking to you again soon.

All my best,

Aaron Elvis James

Forgive the following rant.  I'm just tired of this man making headlines for doing absolutely nothing and I wanna vent a bit. And I want Katie to take that ridiculous pillow out from under her silk blouse.

Nice letter.
You're lucky your father was willing to build
a relationship with you.
But I suppose I'm better off without one in my life,
because my life is still pretty good.

Don't be mean. Just remember, he's a lot shorter than you are. Actually, so am I, but he's even shorter that I am. He's shorter than most people. I think he's really about 4'10 1/2" tall.
