Ass good as it gets

I commend Faces of Meth for showing us what happens to people on methamphetamine, but here is an example of someone who simply needs either a comb or a hair cut, and I suppose a shave. I’m sure meth has a lot to do with his overall disorganization in life, but really, he looks fine. Seems like he even put on a few healthy pounds.

Kids, I know you’re thinking Super Dildo, but this is methamphetamine, which induces euphoria, increased self-esteem, and sexual pleasure (and you thought a book deal would do you wonders). Brain chemistry is a scary thing; the smallest bridge in the world is a synapse. Plug up one receptor, and you have yourself a new person. And here I come along crying about “free will,” this idea that psychiatry categorizes behavior, explains it even, but does not, and cannot, justify it. Is depression a disease or attitude problem? Who is responsible for how we feel? Our parents, our brains, this [fucking] world, or us? Different camps will tell you different things, which is why life is endless summer camp.

I see a kid screaming at Safeway and I’m not thinking ADHD, but “smack that kid.” I’m thinking happiness/sadness is not +/- serotonin, but something frightfully more profound, more grave. It’s been explained to me by former lovers that love’s lodged not in the brain but the heart, and that I only live in my head. And you thought I was rhetorical.

If getting ass increases serotonin or dopamine levels in our heads, and we perceive ourselves to be happy whilst ass is being gotten, then how intrinsic is that happiness? Ain’t that just brains being brains? I wanna be happy in the heart and not the head, but I don’t know how. Maybe chemistry ain’t so bad, so thank god for Mrs. Whisky, and what she’s gonna do to me 2nite.

      I’m sure you’re not going to, but please, just as a reminder: don’t have children. We already have enough people who don’t have any patience and who don’t understand children like you do; we don’t need anymore. May I suggest a vasectomy just to be sure?

      haha, i write a blog post and you want me to get surgery. get a fucking life.

  3. Gene Morgan

      You have permission to smack my kids, Jimmy.

      This guy definitely does look better. It looks like meth cures hair loss.

      Oops, I wrote that where I wanted to write something about punting kids instead.

      None of these people look so good in the first place, they all asked themselves, so why not? That kid is doomed, needn’t smack him. Poor thing. Only one way where he can’t lose… Ass/speed/whiskey/pills/coke/meth/death~whatever. Cry baby cry.

  7. Pemulis

      Dude, fuck Rogaine… I’m getting me some meth, stat!

  8. scott mcclanahan

      I just smacked a kid in your honor Jimmy.

      at this point we can basically say how we ‘want’ our brains over how they act in reality. not worried about platitudes like ‘legit’ happiness. zoloft is magic.

  10. Today I didn't even have to use my A.K.

      Something looks pink-er about this blog and I like it.

      what part of doing meth causes abscesses on your face? i’m not overly educated about meth, but this is what these before/after images always make me think.

      How you ‘want’ the brain (if realised) will become as much reality as anything else, though. It’s just a case of how it acts ‘at present’.

      Sorry. I saw the picture and thought it was an article about Sting. You know how I like articles about Sting.

      depression is a disease caused by chronic bad attitude, but that’s just my opinion (my dad says my predicament is hereditary.) this is a really good post. that’s true, our animal brains are being brains, and our physical needs are all, really, chemical satiation. ass and meth deliver the same nudope

      computer problems–
      deliver the same nuero-dope, but one if much more destructive than the other. i think the more intellectual kinds of people think their needs into such abstract concepts that they’re incapable of realizing they’re happy until… they’re not. meth and sex addiction make it so you don’t have to think so much about what’s missing from your life.

      Fuck you. Depression (major depression) is a disease, and can be completely separate from “attitude,” asshole. I’ve spent most my life fighting intense irrational compulsions to kill myself, and these were present despite whatever my “attitude” was at the time.

  42. dean

      i agree, and i don’t actually think it’s chronic bad attitude– i was kidding and i should’ve been more clear. i’ve spent most of my life fighting the same, and ecitolopram has saved my life.
