I've been following this guy for a few months now: http://www.junkylife.com/pk/index.php/2007/12/ and this one, from Austalia : http://theaustralianheroindiaries.blogspot.com/ Anyone else know of some good junkie blogsites?
no, but I've been groovin on the first one you posted. that shit's crazy. fun to read about, but I wouldn't want to live it...
I'm reading the first one too, it's very interesting. I couldnt help but laugh at this, even though it's kinda sad "The Rat is a weird, strange, and stupid character out of a bad anti-drug ad. He’s blown every chance in life he’s gotten. Recently, he bought dvd’s with his first pay check while he was homeless. He doesn’t own a dvd player."
I like this, from sep 06: "I didn’t need people, I had everything I needed in my body, and I was myself again. People are alright but they are no substitute for drugs. People are drugs, feelings are drugs, our experience and perceptions are drugs, or I should say, the effects of drugs. Internal biochemicals, neurotransmitters, peptides, they are all endogenous drugs, the drugs from within. When you fall in love, or out of love for that matter, you get a dose of a drug cocktail. Maybe some endorphins, enkephalins, dopamine, adrenaline, some combination of the sort. The pleasure of fucking and orgasms is the natural equivalent of a shot. The pleasure of anything, of eating something you like, of talking to a friend, of fucking someone, of watching TV, of laughing, they are all sensations created by the release of chemicals from within as a response to stimulus from the senses. So maybe addicts have advanced past our primitive selves. Maybe we are gods. We know how we will feel and what we like to feel and we know we can feel any way we want to feel whenever we wish to. We simply need to buy the right drugs and take the right doses at the right times and we will achieve any feelings or sensations we are looking for. As for me, I am looking for pleasure. Release, escape, relief"
