I called about an apartment today, and even went so far as to schedule a viewing appointment. Before going my parents asked where it was located. After hearing the address they both informed me that only crack heads and whores live there. I was heartbroken to learn that this sweet deal ($320.00 a month, all utilities included) was a bastion for illicit criminals. Though near crack whores did have a certain appeal, though I highly doubt they look like Erika Christensen . So looks like I am staying in the trailer for now.

Anyway all this talk of crack and whores reminded me of my ex and the state of drugs in America. Since I commented enough on the latter, today let’s focus on the former.

The United States is saturated with drugs. Otherwise unconnected activities like geezer sex and fraternity parties are connected through their dependence on drugs to facilitate a good time. Personally I really don't give a flying pig in space what people do in their private lives. If someone wants to take a pill to escape reality or to increase sexual function that is their right. However, the problem with drugs in America is that they seldom stay limited to the private sphere. One of three things can occur when a person becomes addicted to a drug; they choose to stay in their humble abode enjoying the benefits of said drug, or they go out in public hence demonstrating its effects, or they seek financial material means to insure the high does not cease. The first instance is perfectly acceptable; I am a big proponent of personal hedonistic behavior. The second instance is both good and bad. Stoners are hilarious in public, as are drunks, but a 75 year old man wearing mesh shorts with a perpetual erection is not a pretty sight. Though, my biggest complaint with drugs is with the third behavior. People do really stupid things to guarantee a constant state of euphoria. Crack whores sell their bodies to chubby 22 year old guys; heroin junkies rob their grandparents, hell you would be surprised by the number of people who rob convenience stores for cigarettes. And, let’s not forget the yuppie coke heads that put in an 80 hour work week so they can get another promotion to support their addiction. Basically reliance on drugs often leads a person to sale their soul for the transitory pleasures. And, trust me if you are going to lose your soul at least get more then a fifth of whiskey and a pack of Camels.

Well that’s all today folks, not a lot else to say

So remember to stay away from drugs (except for caffeine and methamphetamines cause they don't count)

and

go to hell
