Imagine this!!!

Imagine this… In Singapore a man swallowed more than $500,000 worth of heroine and then tried to smuggle it into Australia. He is 40 years old and he had 91 packets of heroin in his stomach when he was arrested. He pleaded guilty to one count of a marketable quantity of a border controlled drug. He had a flight from Hong Kong and was questioned by customs officer after looking nervous, and he quickly admitted to having swallowed a large amount of heroin before the flight. He spent two days in the hospital until he passed all the packages.
He swallowed 500g of powder and the pure weight of heroin was 286.1g. the estimated street value was $572,000. He said he really needed the money and they were going to pay him $5000 for doing it.
Wow imagine swallowing all that. But ew imagine buying it after he poops it out =S that’s sick!! 
American Gangster

I was watching American Gangster with Denzel Washington in it. And in the movie what he does is goes to China (I think) and gets hundreds of kilos of pure heroin and brings it to the states where it is sold on the streets for a pretty cheap price. It was the purest form of heroin that anyone had ever seen, they called it “Blue Magic”. But there were also scenes where the users died from over dose. One scene really caught my eye where a man died from an over dose and he was just laying on the bed, a baby was sitting next to him looking at him crying, then another person comes in and takes the crying baby but just leaves the body there. It’s amazing how much this drug can kill people. Whenever I think of addictions I think of how hard it is to quit and how much it ruins your life, because it did ruin mine badly. But overdoses never really crossed my mind often. What do you guys think about this?

I like hearing about celebrities more than I do about the elections or Iraq, but thats just my preference. I dont like hearing all the serious stuff on the news becuase it makes me start worrying and I just get plain bored of it. I watch TV to entertain myself not bore myself.

I cant talk to my parents about ANYTHING! They flip out over the smallest things I cant imagine ever telling them about my former drug addiction. To them I'm still the little boy who hasn't grown up. Although I'm 23 right now. Even as a kid I couldn't even talk to them about my girlfriends, they made it so impossible tot alk to them about anything except priorities in life and day to day things.
RE: Can someone get addicted to PC games?

I have a friend who used to be addicted to diablo. He would neglect sleep jsut to play it. He would be up literally day and night just playing it and sometimes even called in sick to work. Computer games can be very addicting, infact the computer its self is highly addictive also. Think of it this way. Would you be able to live 2 weeks without out your computer or any way of getting on the internet? Very few people would answer yes to this question and actually be able to fullfill it.

Why do you think celebrities get caught up with drugs so much more than regular people? Or is it just the paparazzi that makes it seem that way?
