Yeah, but false equivalence there. I mean yes, the cigarettes can kill you*, and the drinking can too, either directly or indirectly. But the meth, in addition to being inherently poisonous, is also black market and therefore not qualitatively regulated. When you buy a pack of cigs you are not rolling the dice against the distinct possibility that this pack is cut with something that will hospitalize you or maybe just kill you tonight.

I hear what you're saying, though. And I'm really glad that you're aware of the destruction that goes hand in hand with felony convictions. If that's the thing that'll get you to stay sober, then hooray!



*Back in the 1990s I had a buddy named Mark. You remind me a lot of him. Mark had a rough upbringing, he was on his own at an early age. Spent a lot of time on various people's couches, drank hard when he drank, smoked various owl pellets and so on. Was an absolutely amazing person, utterly loyal, incredibly generous, never violent, literally would give a man his shoes off his feet and then go barefoot if the whim took him. He was a survivor, the kind of dude you'd be sure would survive the apocalypse.

Also smoked like a chimney. One day he got a real bad cold, his girlfriend insisted finally that he go to the hospital, it turned into pneumonia, and a couple days later he died. He was 25. I went to his memorial service and it was packed, there were like 200+ people stuffed into this little community hall. I still miss Mark.

The cigarettes didn't directly kill him, he didn't get cancer or emphysema or heart disease. I doubt it was the ecstasy or the booze or the... well, whatever else he dabbled in, I wouldn't have known but I don't think those things give you pneumonia. But they probably did indirectly kill him, because a smoker's odds against pneumonia are way lower than a non-smoker's, and the various other substances tend to also reduce the immune system. We'll never know for sure. Nobody talks about that. Mark wouldn't have quit even if everyone told him to (especially if everyone told him to) for reasons that'd be very familiar to you. Mark gave up maybe 60+ years of life in exchange for whatever pleasures are to be had from smoking for ten years. It happens.

This is just sort of looking at the black humor side of thinge for a second but I can absolutely believe the story about the Hells Angels cook just based purely off the sheer level of utter insanity that happened and also because the idea of artisanal small batch boutique amphetamine purveyors would be loving hilarious at some tasting and pairing event in Napa or Tahoe. Black tie and everything, starting off totally formal and professional and like three hours later they're still tallying the body count

I've revised what I'm trying to sat like 3 or 4 times now and it just turns into this giant wall of saying the same thing over and over and it's a huge cluttered mess so this tIme I'll try and streamine it.

Jail and prison have always been massive deterrents to me. How many people who have lived the way I've lived, done what I've done, taken what I've taken, can manage to say they have an absolutely clean legal record? That's why the incident the other night was so incredibly important. I'm not naive enough to try to claim anything I've done was anything even close to safe or healthy, but I was always in a familiar, predictable, controllable setting.

When people say it's unhealthy and dangerous, my brain thinks so is any vice. Smoking, drinking, they all have their price to pay. If it was just the skin crawling and the picking, well, yeah I'd probably find a way to put up with that while I had little 'weekend vacations' when nobody needs to know if I go quiet for a little while. But that ship sailed the moment I broke my own rules and stayed outside making decisions that I would not make and have not ever made and directly jeopardized any chance I have at having a future back.

I may not care very much about physical or mental repurcussions but you bet your loving rear end I have always cared about the legal ones and now that I can no longer trust myself to stick to the plan that's kept me out of trouble this whole time it's an entirely new ball game.

I feel better about myself today than ever. Just asking for some faith, because while I may not be invincible I have no fear over squaring off face to face with what everyone else thinks is impossible. I'm stubborn, I'm persistent, and I survive. It's what I do

We're here for you, man. I'm one of the local goons, and am happy to spend time with you in person if you're fiending or lonely or whatever and need some emotional support.

Also just got the funds from the failed Fastback good intentions, you guys are incredible. There was a slight delay over the chaos of the end of the trip, but I always had faith in Danno.

Given recent events, I don't necessarily feel I'm required to post this, but I wanted to help prove what I say about how my brain compartmentalises and justifies whether or not an action is okay or not. Many people labelled an addict who just got handed $600 essentially cash with absolutely no way for anyone to guarantee it goes where it should would probably be on the phone with their dealer before they even got to the bank.

I choose differently, because I make sure if someone helps me out I do not take that for granted. Now the trick is who can I trust to make sure it gets where it needs to? Who has been the only reason I've taken such lengths to avoid incarceration, not because I fear being locked away, but because I don't want to let them down yet again? Well, there's this one guy, I think he can handle that responsibility.

As far as I can tell its a wash out website full of people who couldnt cut it over here. There's something supremely sad about thinking a picture of me from 2002 is worth saving and keeping in the back of their mind just in case they see their moment. It's incredibly depressing, just not in the way they obviously were aiming for

Dear Penthouse,

I never thought it would happen to me. From the moment I locked my eyes on that shimmering blue, I knew this was it. This was the one. It had something I wanted, no, something I needed, and there it lay open before me, no secrets kept hidden away. A dance of sorts began, hands knowing just where to go, what to tug, what needed to slip off to get inside.

On this day, I discovered I packed exactly down to the last piece only what tools I needed to strip the top end of a 2.2L Ecotec, not a single one more or less.

Narrowed it down using the spark plugs themselves as my indicators. Plugs 1 and 4 were perfectly clean and fuel soaked, and pistons cleaned off. Swapped the soothed plugs into 1 and 4 and the clean plugs into 2 and 3, and started showing evidence of combustion on the centers. Since compression is known good, and fuel injectors confirmed operating normally via visual testing, that leaves ignition. We've tried 2 coil pack assemblies with zero change, so either we have 2 that happen to have failed identically (possible, given the high praises I've seen for the units online), or one coil driver circuit is not operating somehow. That means testing the circuit one step at a time from ECM through the harness to the individual pins for each circuit inconnector at the coil.
