Take My Picture
I met a young photographer/artist named George Henry Borawski who is working on a book of photographs about the put-upon in our culture. So he came to me—for obvious reasons. He is going to be traveling across the country over the next couple of months, so if you are interested in introducing him to part of your world, get in contact with him.
You can read an article I wrote about him at Frankly Curious, or you can go directly to his site. You will find contact information there.
Junkies are the New Gays
This is the first brand new thing on this site in some time. It just talks about how heroin users in 2010 are treated much like homosexuals were treated in 1910. But it is short and more personal. Check it out, if you dare.
Drug Dealing and Murder
It continues to piss me off that our society tends to equate drug dealing and even drug use with murder. I wrote about this after seeing the movie The Crew, but the problem remains. I just bought Leon, the international version of the The Professional. I like both versions very much. However, the uncut version includes an annoying scene.
In this scene, after Leon and Mathilda kill a drug dealer, Mathilda insists that they destroy the drugs.
We said, "no women, no kids." Who do you think this is gonna kill, junkies and monkeys?
There are so many things wrong with this scene, I don't even want to start. But the glorification of murderers and the vilification of drug users has consequences that are counted in wasted lives and a slippery truth.
Frankly Curious
I am planning to redo this site very soon. It is looking pretty dusty these days. You can expect this some time in the next month or so. I may even start taking email again—but no promises there.
I am working on another site that is about nothing or everything (depending upon how you look at it) called Frankly Curious. This is more where my head is at these days, not that I don't like the whole "King of the Junkies" thing—it's so great when looking for work... Take a look (whenever I get the new nameservers pointing correctly).
