A Tail of Two Kardashians

Okay, ass one Kardashian prepares for marriage, the other one is wrapping her mind around divorce. Sources have confirmed that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are planning a June wedding in Paris. And according to RadarOnline, the nuptials will be aired live on the reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Meanwhile, sources are also confirming that Khloe Kardashian has officially filed for divorce from husband Lamar Odom, and that their assets (estimated at around 118 million) should be easy to split since there is a prenup and no kids involved.

Honestly, I can’t say that I’m surprised about Khloe and Lamar calling it quits. The first red flag that told me that Lamar was a weak link in the marriage popped up last year when Khloe exposed his candy addiction. In May of 2013 while on the show, Live with Kelly & Michael, Khloe expressed her concerns over Lamar’s addiction to sweets. Khloe revealed to Michael Strahan (who was interviewing her) that she would sometimes wake up at 2;00am to the sound of candy wrappers as her husband (Lamar) binges on candy in his sleep.

What brotha does that??

But what really convinced me that the couple’s doomsday clock was seconds away from chiming deuces on their marriage was when I checked out an episode of their reality show and learned that Lamar, at least at one point during his professional career, paid rent for twenty of his friends and the cell phone bill for thirty. Now I don’t care how much money you have that’s just straight up ridiculous! I can see doing that for a handful of close relatives, but twenty to thirty friends? No way!

I also learned about Lamar’s friend Jamie, who many are saying is the real problem. Last August reports tied the rapping duo to a crack pipe that was left behind in a hotel room at the Roosevelt hotel in Hollywood. And then there’s the sluggish, thuggish rap video that they managed to slur out together that basically confessed all of Khloe’s worst fears of what Lamar might have been doing behind her back.

All I can say is classless.

Now some may argue that Lamar is just a down friend who couldn’t handle the fame and fortune he acquired, perhaps started doing drugs to cope and now’s he’s paying the price. But that analogy does not begin to explain who Lamar really is deep down inside. The foundational problem is this: Lamar Odom is a Level 2 mindset. And two traits that define a Level 2 are a constant need to prove themselves and a propensity to follow stronger minded people.

Even when Level 2’s acquire fame and fortune they can get bored with it. This is because it is the journey that satisfies them more so than the rewards of the journey. When they hit that plateau, where the challenges diminish, it often times doesn’t matter how much wealth or notoriety they’ve acquired along the way, they can still get antsy and eager to find others way to challenge themselves. And because they lack a view, they are naturally impressionable, especially around people they know and trust. And their worst enemies in a mental state like that are an idiot friend who has a gift for gab and a clueless wife who doesn’t put her foot down.

With all due respect to Khloe, she should have snatched Lamar out the bed and took him to rehab the first night she woke up to him chomping on skittles in her ear! But, instead she told Michael Strahan on national TV (like what was he gonna do).

That’s why I urge all of you ladies reading this post to take my Free Mindset Reading and find out what mindset the man you’re interested in is. Should turn out to be a Level 2 then make sure you learn as much about his friends as you can! If there’s one or two that are leading him around (and there likely will be), make sure it’s in all the right directions. If not, make him chose which relationship is more important before you get in too deep like Khloe did (whatever happened to that group).

Fortunately, Khloe’s sis Kim won’t have to worry about her husband turning a sugar addiction into a crack binge. That’s because Kanye West is a powerful Level 3 mindset. And Level 3s are very strong-minded and not impressionable.
