That was a lovely piece of writing. You touched my heart with that bit about "complete life"- it is so true....that small bit of wanting that is left keeps us going the rest of the way!

I work in a rehab. Some people will never change what they're doing.

And other times all it takes is for someone to treat them like they're still a human.

Garrett,
great post!

what's that neil young quote "every junkie is a setting sun..."
how true.

Wow! Crazy stuff. This is was really well written, and sadly, something that's really out there.

On a lighter note--where's this Chick Fillet? My friend is obsessed with it...I'd win big points if I told him where one was!

Most of the people I knew at college didn't do anything more than occasional dope so I'd never have recognised what was wrong with the guy you saw. Only one person I knew went onto heavier stuff and after seeing him high once, I was put off for life, not even knowing what it does to your sense of taste.

Thanks for a very thought provoking post.

This was a great read. You really pull the reader and in and make them "think." I love your writings because on a level I perceive things or maybe I'm in tune with the world like you. One of favorite places to come and read in the middle of the night when I have trouble sleeping. I'm feeling very grateful now for my little place in the world thanks to the post and I needed this.

2 things:
1. Your descriptions! You are such a talented writer. I could really go on about this...

2. Your honesty. Thank you.

Really makes me appreciate even the taste of the Lean Cuisine I had for lunch. Thanks Garret.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Garrett- I hope you don't mind but I linked back to this post from my Friday Random post. If it's an issue I'll cut the link. :o)

I came here looking for your latest food creation...but was intrigued by your social commentary.

Ok, intrigued is the wrong word...appreciative, whatever....it was visual and reminds me that we live in complex world.... the food guy is next to the druggie but can see that he is human.

Ugh. This should be printed and posted in every high school. Gave me the heebeejeebees just reading it. Thank you for always being so honest. - Preeti

2008-08-14T08:43:00.000-07:00

I'm very tempted to print this and hand it over to my younger siblings. Both are in college now and I sometimes worry about what they'll do. They're smart, but I still worry.

Thanks for the insight into that side of life :o)

Starfruit - Thanks so much for that. =)

Unmatched - Thanks, though I think this sort of falls under food writing in that the story comes back to food and taste. Kinda. ;)

Sonya - You're welcome!

Thank you...

that "healthy" chicken salad sandwich has 20 grams of fat, unfortunately. stick with the chargrilled - only 3!

amazing blog, btw. i wouldn't mind seeing more of your non-food writing :-)

This is sort of hearbreaking. Another reason to add to my list of why not to do drugs. I hope that I can "stay above the influence" as I transition into high school. If I am ever, ever tempted in the four years to come, I'll just read this. Thanks.
