She almost looks like she's about to strangle the baby. Or maybe she is trying to comfort her after punching her in the mouth for crying.

The original vulture and the little girl for reference (kevin Carter, 1993):

Carter's suicide note: “I am depressed … without phone … money for rent … money for child support … money for debts … money!!! … I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings and corpses and anger and pain … of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners … I have gone to join Ken [recently deceased colleague Ken Oosterbroek] if I am that lucky.”
"Gentle and Merciful Lord God, I want to speak with a open and honest heart. Today I ask you to take my sins and the sins of my family into your Merciful heart. I have lived my life in full awareness of the consciousness of my sins. I pray for your mercy and wisdom and mostly for sight to see in full awareness what I have forgotten. Amen"

Seeing Ailyn was interesting. I waited for her in a Starbucks in Lapu Lapu, a suburb of Cebu City closer to the airport than the city itself. I hadn't seen her in a bit and seeing her walk in and look around made me smile despite my best efforts to look cool and composed...but then, as she walked towards me with a smile matching mine, she opened her mouth and said,

"I'm leaving for Hong Kong in the morning."

I asked her why and she told me that she had finally landed a job that I had helped her to get with an NGO devoted to demining, removing land mines from former conflict zones. My smile long gone I asked her if there was any chance that she could delay the flight for even a day. She shook her head no and told me that her flight was at 4AM.

I burst into tears like a child, at the same time angry and embarrased for having done so. Ailyn softly told me to come with her and find a hotel. We took a Jeepney, the local form of mass transit,* and after only a kilometer found "The Bellevista." It definitely wasn't a 5 Star but should have been for the price paid. I paid for 2 days, 8,000 Pesos per, almost $90 US per day, in a nation where most make less than $3 US a day.

After 3 hours Ailyn told me that she needed to process some paperwork before her flight but promised to return. She returned to me after dark bringing a Hawaiian pizza from the Philippine chain "Greenwich Pizza." After a bit more of some "quality time" her youngest sister, age 18, called. Ailyn told me that the girl had never been in a hotel and asked me whether I'd mind her coming to stay the night with us. As there were twin beds I thought it a fair opportunity to meet a member of Ailyn's family that I had never seen.

The little sister came at almost 10PM and after excitedly texting her friends about her first visit to a hotel she fell asleep in the other bed. Ailyn and I spent the rest of the night "saying goodbye," despite the other sister being a meter away.

230AM came far too fast. Strangely, Ailyn said she'd go with her sister to the airport but that since she didnt like emotional goodbyes, I should just stay at the hotel. At the time I didnt ponder it too much. I had that giddy feeling, as if I really was falling in love. It was only afterwards that I would begin to wonder about the strange co-incidences that had taken place during my 8 hours with Ailyn.

* Jeepneys were originall surplus WWII Willys Jeeps with their drive shafts extended to the point that they were as long as small schoolbusses. Painted in garish colours and christened with fabulous names like "Sex Champion" or "Rooster of Light" they fufilled the role of public transportation. Nowadays those are almost extinct and the new Jeepneys are made in the factory and rarely have anything but a solid paint job.
When it comes to affairs of the heart I am the epitome of a sad sap. Case in point, picking up where I left off in my previous post...

Layimh in the hotel bed I still smelled Ailyn's perfume. I have a traditional Jewish upbringing. I was not even allowed to speak with female first cousins since the age of 8. As I approached my twelth birthday I was enrolled in a Command Boarding School. These are schools in Israel wheee children are trained for military careers. On my sixteenth birthday I was inducted into the IDF as a First Sergeant. Even most Israelis do not realise that the IDF inducts soldiers younger than age 18. Today these inductions only take place in the IDF's C41 and AMAN (prinarily Unit #8200) formations (C41 is the info-computer web that connects all cogs in the IDF military machine and AMAN is IDF Intelligence. Unit #8200 is AMAN's largest sub-formation and deals with SIGINT). In my day though these inductions took place in top tier combat fornations, in my case Tzanchanim, Paratroopers.

I entered the army a total virgin, not even live letters. Around my 17th birthday I had an arranged marriage and was lucky in that she was neither a first cousin nor a niece, the latter being the ideal match. I had plenty of female relatives but I was a Paratrooper and we were at war. Noone wanted common cannon fodder like myself pairing off with one of their virgins and then dying without having created any sons. The point in getting into my far less than fascinating romantic travails is to illustrate how, at age 49, I an anything but a dashing leading man-type of a bloke. To put it bluntly, I am well into middle age and have never experienced romantic love.

Of course I have come close and at least two occasions felt that I MIGHT in fact be in love only to find out I was dumb as a doornail when it came to affairs of the heart. One of those two experiences was with Jackielou, which I discussed in the old BL Blogs in great detail when it transpired close to a decade ago. The second? Ailyn...

Later that morning, after Ailyn and her sister had left, I went to take a shower and alarming discovered a very large bruise across my abdomen of the kind seen with internal bleeding. For the life of me I couldnt figure out how it had occurred. The Bellevista threw in a free breakfast buffet and so I took the lift down to the lobby. It was the usual cheap nonsense, sliced dragojfruit and sliced- bland- pineapple. I cannot speak upon the rest of the buffet but can very safely say that the rest of the spread failed to even come near to middlin quality of the fruit.

Dejectedly trying to nibble away a the bland fruit on my plate I scanned the room and it was a predictable scene. Almost all the tables were occupied by overweight older whitemen and very attractive Filipinas in their late-teens and early-20s. In the Philippines white men are rockstars. Wherelse could fringedwellers on the dole wity beer bellies and serious personal problems score a gorgeous and exotic lover who makes him the centre of her existence? Of course should he be so stupid as to bring his sexy Filipina home with home the game is over, checkmate, fold up the board.

A semi-interesting aside. Years ago I used to post on expat websites. Days can be boring on Mindanao in between bputs of malaria, dengue, ebola and fending off murderous cult militias and Maoists wh roam the jungles. So it is the internet that helps me pass time. On such a website a poster asked about the reason why so many old white nen ended up with nubile young Filipina. I almost fell out of my chair laughing withan answer thsta"1- cmm
But I am sad today. I am sad because my friend whom i do business with got busted during a robbery investigation, he wasnt the robber just the "drug dealer" they didnt know lived next door. I know he will be ok in the end and will most likely avoid jail time but thats not what bothers me. What bothers me so is I never got to say how thankful i truly am for what he did.

Before we met my now ex g/f but still my best friend and i were IV heroin addicts. We had the typical IV heroin addict story, broke constantly trying to get money anyway we can. She was depressed and at worst suicidal i had completely lost direction in a sense. There was a time shortly before i met him that we were on methadone struggling to stay clean then one day i went to a show with the intent of finding molly. I found someone who would later introduce me to the only real friend ive made in a while.

Its funny because i always felt that it was all supported by pillars of sand and that at any point it could change. Its not the idea that i may have to source or pay more but does he even know how important his role was in 2 peoples recovery? I never told him that before we met we were so into heroin that I held my now ex g/f who overdosed in a drug den begging her to come back crying not to be left alone and how we were both so lost i didnt think there was a way out. It just so happened we met a friend and were able to resume smoking copious amounts of weed right when we needed it most that methadone worked. Through his friendship the girl i love grow more confident and started coming out to shows with us and enjoying her life more. Its because of him that we have the lives we do now.

How do you tell someone that its probably because of them that you have focus and direction back how through nothing more then friendship we were able to change our destiny. Its one thing to get clean its another thing to pick up a new life new friends and new activities... he facilitated all that provided a place we were welcome and never judged us. Hell he never even really asked left me around enough shit to feed my former heroin addiction for a few days and never wondered if i would disappear. He only asked a few times what it was like to shoot dope and smoke crack he is a very kind and understanding person.

I owe my life to the one single event that made us meet, how do you tell someone that. I just wish i could say "if you ever see me as a famous person down the road please know its only because i met you that my life got fixed, only because you embodied the same ideas i do and have the same fun loving and caring personality that i do. How can someone whose never had to beg for money and steal understand the life that he managed to stop just by being who he is... I just wish i got to tell him how thankful i was to meet him.

This ones for you T, whether we see each other again or not you were crucial in all of what i have now. Anything i ever do now i have you to thank for in a sense. You restored my faith in myself and humanity.

3-hydroxylation of methamphetamine and its metabolites does not generally occur, and neither does deamination to 1-phenyl-2-propanone.

In a urine sample taken 24 hours after the ingestion of methamphetamine, about 1% will consist of 4-OH-methamphetamine, about 50% unchanged methamphetamine, and with the rest consisting of benzoic acid. The other metabolites shown above are minor.

So today is yet another boring day at my desk job at a failing small business. Dont get me wrong we are doing everything we can to stay but I do customer service mostly and theres a direct correlation between crap sold and work for me so yeah, no garbage out equals no garbage in makes less phone calls.

Anyway I feel like I am approaching a critical point in my life. With all of these changes occurring in fast order its almost like for once i dont know what tomorrow will be like. That might sound hard to accept to people but this is a former heroin addict talking so yeah days that dont repeat the same cycle are always welcome.

Lately I have had more projects going on then I can keep up with. Its all basically extractions of compounds found in plants but its a lot of work when your doing 2 at once and some other silly things, making wine trying to grow lavender to make lavender oil eventually as well as various inorganic chemistry... sometimes i wake up at 630am so i can work in the lab before i have to get ready for work at 9 only to come back at 630pm and stay in there till 9pm. And since its straight forward motion all projects are creating messes that are piling up so that looks bad and is just unorganized. But I dont think anyone gets just how fulfilling it is to to watch progress happen so i could probably sit there and "watch the lavender grow" just like i tell people when i do anything in chemistry its largely "watching water boil" but thats exciting shit for me.

I cant wait for the summer as it makes the first year single in 6 years coupled with 0 addiction to heroin/crack the first time im not an alcoholic and single the first time i have a lab of decent size probably spent a grand on it so far, the first time im good enough at home made gun powder to maybe make some stuff for the 4th of july. Once i let go of methadone i literally had nothing binding me anymore for the first time if i want to walk off into the woods for 2 weeks i wont get sick and i wont feel like im leaving my g/f behind. I am infinitely thankful her and i are still best friends...

So much so we went to a datsik set together and she absolutely loved that shit. She was always a goth/metal head in high school and for 6 years we were together i couldnt get her to come to shit because it wasnt her music she claimed, comes to the club with me on my bday when we arent dating (she is my best friend after all) and she had a great time there so she chose to come to datsik too. There was mosh pits and sampling from metal songs Eminem, god if it wasnt a show tailor made for who she was. She said to me "i didnt know electronic music was like that!" i didnt either. I am happy because this also means she will come out with me more. She was always depressive and socially shy but now we can all change who we are now. I was worried she would have gotten over her heroin addiction but still never made the large changes needed to lock that shit in the past.

Good days are on the horizon... i think. I have also learned to be cautious and have realistic expectations but I couldnt have predicted any of this shit last year so i am optimistic about this whole thing.'

Plus in 1 weeks time i am going to FL to visit my friend and go to "tipper and friends" I havent left the state in forever and have never gone on a plane alone and havent seen my friend in 6 years... since before i got into heroin and we went to ultra in 2010 all those years ago.
I'm here still, yet a million thoughts pass me by.
I'm locked within a dark room, there's a light but way too high.
Outside, there are people,
Long to join them yet here I am, sitting still
I long to join them n be included
But I feel they want me so I hid

Lonely yet people, there are many.
I long to feel include yet I fear them
I wish to be amongst their chatter yet I don't feel worthy
So I crawl away, make my excuses
I'll try again another day
I just want to be included but that will never be
You see they don't want people like me

It's dark outside, yet lights are many
I peer throuvh the pane and see
I see them together, chatting n laughing
I am on the outside looking in
I walk outwardly silent, always calm n silent
Inside I am screaming, battling, in torment

I just want to be included but will never be
You see they don't take people like me
My heart aches to be included, loved n wanted,
But that's just a dream I feel taunted
Fear it so i reject
Possible opportunities I neglect
I just want to be included but that will never be
Bevause they simply don't want people like me

I cannot try I know it wont work
So I watch, feeling isolated I watch n I lufk
Full of comfidence n laughter they seem so happy
More than I could ever be
You see they don't want people like me

Frustating when what you want you also near
Standing from afar I'm never too near
I see them n I hear their laughter
With them n besides them I csnnot ever be
Because they do not want me like me

Man I don't even know where to start for real. Like On the one hand I am doing really well and making progress on the other hand I am stagnate and regressing. I have made real progress dealing with my childhood trauma and my addiction to drugs. On the other hand I have made no progress on my depression and suicidal ideation. I shower maybe once a week its a struggle just getting to the methadone clinic everyday. I just lay around eat, play xbox, and read stuff on the internet. I don't really have any motivation to do anything else. I just feel like I am not cut out for this planet. I feel like a burden on my family who must pay for all my medical expenses which are running at around 700 dollars a month due to how expensive mdone is here. I try to show them I care by doing the dishs and little stuff around the house but I often don't feel up to the task of doing those chores.

I haven't always been like this. I used to have a social life. I went to school and sometimes held a job. I went to concerts and music festivals. Hell I even used to shower everyday. I wish I could point to one singular event which triggered but its been more of a slow decline.

Anyway my therapist has given me the assignment of answering 2 questions
.
1. Why would someone want to be in my life?

2. Why do I want to live?

My first reaction too both questions is fuck if I know? But I am going to try a little harder I guess.

So why would someone want to be in my life? I am generous and will go out of my way for a friend without asking for anything in return. In short I am a good friend I offer emotional support and whatever practical support I can. I am loyal most of my friends are people I have known for many years. I can also be fun to hang out with as I am open to doing activities other people want to do with no complaint. I guess the gist of it is I have a big heart.

The question of why I want to live is harder to answer but I will try and these are not in any particular order of importance I don't think. I don't want to hurt my mother by dying. I am her only child, her world really and I don't think she would cope with my demise. I want to see the Eagles win the Super bowl. I want to go to Burning Man. I want to see Moscow especially Vladimir Lennons mummified corpse. I want to see Paris, Rome, and Berlin. I want to catch a premier league game in England. I want to see a Formula 1 race live. I want to fall in love. I want to do lots more drugs. I want to help people. I want to be involved in a revolution. I want to go skydiving. I want to make my mom proud.

That's a longer list of reasons to live than I thought it would be. I don't know I feel like I am at war with my own brain. I have this voice up there telling me I will never be well enough to hold a job or find love. Then I have all these people telling me I have all this potential and shit. That I just need to get it together and everything will magically be better. And I am just paralyzed.

So I think of the third option. Death. Maybe everyone would be better off without me around? Maybe my mom would eventually get over my death? Maybe she would get into activism and save the lives of hundreds of more deserving people. Maybe me sacrificing my life really would be for the greater good? Just a thought.
I'm getting my license back soon after 9 and a half years.:D=D=D Alcohol related, but should have had it way sooner, but either way it's gonna be awesome. Gonna be so grateful for that shit, no d4iving gets REALly damn old after awhile. Already have a car as well, so that's taken care of, should only be like a week
so here it is. It's about how I used to be a girl.

Anyway, I didn't want to post it to the words forum this time, as I'm afraid it's even more offensive (in terms of political correctness) than 'A letter to you, Dear Jennifer' (my masterpiece lol)

Anyway, @IJustCantHelpMyself I emptied out my message box FYI.

I, as many of you know, love metal and punk music, though I like metal heads a lot more than most 'punk rockers'. There's only one self proclaimed 'punk rocker' that I've ever met that I liked, and he is the real deal. Anyway, in opposition of punk music, I've been rotting my brain out with a steady stream of Iron Maiden. For those of you that don't know, Iron Maiden is the best power metal band in the world-that being said, it is not an accomplishment worth bragging about, as power metal is the absolute worst kind of metal (unless we're to include all that arty drone shit and screamo crap-which is far to 'ironic' and 'hip' to truly be metal IMO). Anyway, I can't help but feel bad for Bruce Dickinson, the lead singer, as he truly bleeds his heart out, to the point that I sometimes feel sorry for him, and myself. So here's to Bruce Dickinson. Cheers, mate.

Anyway, I am happy to announce, that in the spirit of metal, and the absence of a real life, I have embarked on a horror film festival. You should all watch the following movies:

  • The Babadook
  • In Fear
  • It Follows
  • Starry Eyes
  • The Hollow
  • The Honeymoon

The best ones are probably, In Fear, and Starry Eyes, in terms of intelligence. I am really liking this new genre of 'Body Horror' movies, which is what inspired my newest short story. Starry Eyes is a perfect example of the genre.

Anyway, I'm really having an artists block, which I suppose is okay, as I have been writing more, but it stresses me out.

I have long had an apocalyptic fantasy in which all of Earth's inhabitants have been terminated, except for me, of course. It's not because I hate the human race so much, but more, that the species in question, my species, gets in my way.

I envision a decimated planet, the only things standing, me, and every fully stocked pharmacy and empty stash houses. Prime directive, obliteration, of my mental faculties.

I took some kratom today, and got very buzzed. Strangely it seems that kratom is the only opiate/opioid type drug that can give me that 'old euphoria' that we all love, miss and chase, and perhaps its because kratom is not an opiate.

I found myself almost skipping as I left the house to get myself a pack of cigarettes. Something on the ground, I forget what it was, something stupid, reminded me of my girl. Normally this would fill me with nostalgia, sadness, a feeling of loss, but instead, I felt great-I didn't care at all. It was simply a memory, that I could objectively observe, without any feelings of attachment. A total feeling of 'well fuck it, I don't care!'

Speaking of apocalyptic fantasy, my two new BL short stories:
A letter to you, Dear Jenniffer
How I saved the World from Aliens
The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success. Ian Fleming

NSFW:
Giorgio De Chirico - The Soothsayer's Recompense (1913)

&#8203;Slick tricks of a single pin prick,
a fix that exists to make you sick.
Whipped by the bitter liquid that's mixed,
I stick it through my own skin and push it in quick.
They say it's a sin, but I wanted to mention,
it becomes a religion with evil intentions.
Clearly I wasn't paying enough attention,
'cause this bitch has taken me to another dimension.
I just wish I could find my way back home,
but the path only gets thicker the further I roam.
A labyrinth of creepy catacombs, dark and cold,
is the domain of the fiend to which I sold my soul.
Forever encased in this tortuous cave,
I feel like the blood is travelling the wrong way through the vein.
This is insane!
How do I make my way out of this place?
I have to tear these walls away,
and escape a seemingly inevitable fate.
I wanna believe that it's never too late to change,
and make peace with the power for my own sake.
Taking the weeks as hours in days,
counting every second spent finding my way out of this maze.
Perhaps one day I will wake to see,
my spirit reunite with my mind and body,
no longer calling to this pernicious deity.
Then maybe I can finally consider myself free.

So lately I've heard there's been a resurgence in envy over Richard Hell (voidoids era) body. Upon finding this out, as I'm often the last to hear gossip, I thought I'd shed some light on how, I have nearly attained this pinnacle in physical perfection, and how you, fellow readers, can too!

First off, you're going to need the right genes, hopefully your mom and dad are either thin or not obese, if this is not the case, try to work on it because this is a must.

After that, try to get addicted to heroin, preferably using it intravenously as early in life as possible. I started sniffing it at age 18, and then 6 months later started shooting it.

Then, get into shooting coke for a few years, this'll do a number on your body, and you might be unhappy with how you look at this stage, but keep your head up high! It gets better!

Continue shooting coke and heroin for a couple more years and then try to contract some very dangerous blood born pathogen, MRSA was the one I chose. Whatever one you acquire, make sure it has you holed up in a hospital for a minimum of four weeks (I did five weeks). During this time, your muscles will atrophy, now it is imperative that you are BED RIDDEN, don't try to sneak in a little jog around the room, stay the fuck in that bed. Again, you're not going to be very happy with the results when the four to five weeks are up, you'll probably barely weigh 130 lb's if you're six feet tall like I am. But perseverance is key if you want to get that perfect heroin chic body.

Okay, now here's the real important part, you got to say 'fuck it', forget your family, forget your dreams, just hand it all over, surrender....to heroin! And while you're at it, what I did, which worked wonders for me, was to relocated to an area that was saturated in methamphetamine. Once you're there, don't just stand there looking at it! Dig in! I mean, really, just fucking go for it, it's not like it's going to kill you or anything, just take the plunger out of your syringe, and backload a few large shards down the barrel and draw up a couple cc's, not too many (the blood'll do the rest), and start shooting (with precision). Do this for a few years, occasionally switching it up with crack, but NEVER, this is fucking key people, DO NOT GIVE UP ON THE HEROIN, if you need to start muscling it at this point cause your veins have all gone to hell, than fuck it, but try and learn how to hit that deep femoral vein ;).

Okay, so you've now been homeless a few years, trashed your brain and body with drugs, haven't sleep for months, can't tell reality from fantasy (does it matter any more?), have long lost any care in your physical appearance (or have you, you vein bastard!), now, here is the difficult part. Find a reason that you need to clean up. For me, I had an easy out (father got stage four lung cancer). Clean out, get those drugs out of your body, hate every moment of it, be spiteful, bitter! But persist dear friend, you've put yourself through what most would consider a living hell for a third of your life now-you've got reasons to be pissed off right? DO NOT REPLACE YOUR HORRIBLE DRUG ADDICTION WITH A FOOD ADDICTION, that will be your downfall. You're almost there. Instead, replace addiction with a horrible, overwhelming depression that consumes your life to the point that you spend most of your day in a dark room with the lights off, just..sitting there, thinking of clever things that your friends (who only exist on the internet) might appreciate. Oh, and do like 70 crunches 4 times a day.

Bam, you're there, you got Richard Hell's body! Shame you can't change your face as easily haha.
When the game is over, the King and the pawn go back into the same box.

This Is my Testimony.
i need to rant and rave
people might think i'm out of my mind and i would agree

as of right now life is good financially stable, a beautiful woman that cares about me and a job opportunity that i've been working for my whole life...........

everything looks fine and dandy on paper...but inside i feel numb and with no help of meds to achieve that feeling, as if it's not enough...then again i dont even know what will be enough

everything feels meaningless well no....feels like i have a void in my life still and i dont know what im missing .....

i force myself to smile but its not enough anymore....think my spiritual journey is about to start
I've posted now three, 'things' (don't know if they are stories, well one is for sure, the other are sort of autobiographical with some fantasy/sci-fi elements) in the words section, they are all one piece of a whole, there may be more to come, and there may not.

Here are the links:
  1. The Age of Narcotic Enlightenment- a manifesto, time capsule and satire in three parts
  2. A Chance Encounter with an Angel and a Demon
  3. Confessions of a Speed Freak

Anyway, those are all pretty long except the short story. I DARE you to try to read through all of them straight, when you're confronted with the massive walls of text you'll find.

Well, my dad started chemotherapy today. Finally they changed him from roxi 15's (every 3-4 hours) to Fentanyl patches, so he should be feeling a lot better. I bought two benzedrex inhalers so I was tweaking the whole time. Been a bad week, I'm very angry, and Very Alone. Still got one inhaler left for tomorrow, which is good.

I'm also down to taking .875 mg of suboxone a day. For everyone tapering, I really suggest the following when you get below 2 mg. Go from 2->1.5->1->.75 so far this has worked out pretty well for me, though I'm not quite down to .75, but .875. I dose twice a day if you're interested, so I'll do (at 1mg for instance) .5 in the am, and .5 late afternoon. It seems if you keep cutting your dose down by 1/3 or 1/4 there is no drastic difference in terms of the 'effects' you get from your dose (where there is if you say, jump from .5->.25), the only thing I notice when tapering this way is that sometimes between the hours of about 11am-3pm, I'll feel withdrawal symptoms (I wake up and dose around 7:30 am) while I'm adjusting to the new dose. The beneficial purposes of tapering are that a)it gives you a purpose when you have no life, and b)maintaining at micro dosages is cool because you feel each dose wayyy more than you do if your taking 8mg a day, and if you're having a really bad day, you can double your dose and get a chill little buzz going. Nothing too exciting really, and I'll be curious to see if that changes once I get used to maintaining on a SL dose of .25mg 2x day. Basically, I want to see how low of a dose you have to adjust to and maintain on where you can start to feel noticeable agonist effects by upping your dose on a bad day (basically testing out the ceiling). Like it would be sick if I could maintain at .5mg/day, and then once a week take 2mg and get blasted, but I'm thinking I'll probably have to lower it down to .25mg/day.
