I just watched the movie Blow

Theres something so appealing to me about a lifestyle of decadent risk. Running your life with the constant knowledge that one day it will all come crashing down. It makes everyday a bit more beautiful knowing that it all must end. Now one could argue that this is true regardless of trade profession or skill set, we all die, we will all rot, but for some reason thats not enough for me. I want to be strapped to the torpedo, riding the lunatic high until the big bitch goes Hiroshima. Perhaps i'm a masochist. Crazy? Maybe. But this day to day lifestyle doesn't do it for me. There is no sense of accomplishment. I am not meant to be a part of the proverbial machine, of that much i am certain. I suppose all i am really looking for here is either reaffirmation that i am not alone in these melancholy musings, or to ultimately find out that I am a bit crazy after all. I just need to know where I stand.

you're completely normal dude


























I think

Nah I feel the same way, man. That movie kicks ass too. I'm going to watch it now.

with weed its fine to do stoners are less serious about shit.....once you start selling coke espcially around bikers its a real wake up call, you have to be on point at all times, i lost a friend to a shooting, been shot at, and did a lot of violent stuff i wouldent have done normally. Im so glad i left all that shit and moved. The money was booming, but at the end of the day money does not buy happiness. i still got a nice amount put away for a rainy day from my younger days

Blow is one of my alltime favorites

My favorite line in the movie is when Tuna comes in and says

So you know how we were wondering what we're gonna do for money seeing as how we don't wanna get jobs and whatnot?

CLASSIC

cool movie....don't worry....you're not any different....I am guided by.....as long as your mistakes don't put you in jail or kill you....just try not make the same mistake too many times...

He, who has learned to doubt and to ask questions where the norms forbid it, can never stop the habit. As such, every creative person is building bridges to those masses of people who are tied up helplessly by the pressures of peers and society. His is a step out and above the group. And however strong the creative person is enchained by conventions, he has unshackled himself on his way as a free and autonomous personality. As such, he may have cleared a new path for his group, his society and perhaps humankind in order to transform culture and
to create space for other free personalities who want to set new goals.

--Franz Oppenheimer (1864-1943)

blows a good movie but kind of fake. I have yet to see a good drug movie that really is like the actual shit. Weeds is kinda close. Blow never explains how they get the money to buy that pound from david or dameon the gay hippie dude, and i dont fucking think anyone would front some white boy that just walked through the door a pound.

Scarface was another classic of course. But never explains how they go the start up money.

LMAO....That is hilarious if you look at his screen name....LOL

Everyone should also watch the documentary COCAINE COWBOYS....Two thumbs up!!!!!

I too am constantly thinking that "school" is maybe just not for me. LIke this can't be all there is type of shit... When you find an answer to that let me know...

cool...I found that documentary...and downloading right now (700MB)....can't wait to watch it...

Hmm, to be honest Ive only seen Blow once, and I didnt think it was that amazing. I should probably watch it again, but it didnt stand out like Fear and Loathing, Scarface,etc.

but forsure alot of us are attracted to a lifestyle on the edge...only few actually live like that.

Cocaine Cowboys is also another good movie, but dont forget that blow is a true story. Also, when i watched cocaine cowboys it was 5 am with no sleep and a lot of white.

cocaine cowboys is true to, dont know if you knew that or not....lol

i have always made dangerous decisions but nothing too extreme like a lifestyle of dealing blow. i probably could have dealt a little powder, but not like kilos or anything. but that lifestyle is hectic. there arent many old kingpins, and if they are alive most are on the losing end of a life bid. i bet if anyone did a long bid they would surely say i wish i would have made some different decisions in life. i like danger but some gangsters say when the feds pull up with guns drawn they were relieved because it wasn't their enemies that were gonna kill them and it relieved some of the hectic pressure. i like the movie blow too. american gangster is not bad either. oh yeah my dad has met frank lucas and nicky barnes.

in the time period it i bet you could get a pound for practically nothing. Especially being beside mexico.

i would have to say requiem for a dream is the best all time drug movie...
I was kind of shocked after the first time i watched it just staring like WHoa!!!

Cocaine Cowboys is an outstanding documentary....it underscores the futility of the war on drugs......it demonstrates the enrichment and creation of criminals due to the prohibition of cocaine...


Another movie worth watching is Drug Store Cowboys...one of my favorite drug movies.

Spun is good also....

That's why I love this place, now I have 3 more movies to go find and watch

i actually liked American Gangster better than i liked Blow or Requiem. Blow was good, and requim just makes me not be able to sleep at night. And yes i know, thats real world shit, but i dont need to think about it all the time. I havent seen cocaine cowboys, but sounds like a interesting flick.
