You see,I don't get it,why did Lane Staley and Curt Cobain not live.

[Swede]

Know me broken by my master
Teach thee on child of love hereafter

Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

Drifting body it's sole desertion
Flying not yet quite the notion

Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

Into the flood again
Same old trip it was back then
So I made a big mistake
Try to see it once my way

Am I wrong?
Have I run too far to get home?
Have I gone?
And left you here alone?
If I would, could you?

1. Drug addiction, that's why.

Layne Staley would have lived if he kicked his habit. I'm pretty sure Kurt's heroin problem contributed to the mental state which resulted in his blowing his head off.

I don't get people who play with recreational drugs.

2. Do you drink?

If so, you're a hypocrite...alcohol is no less a recreational drug for being legal...

[Swede]

4. Of course I am not judging them.

I judge the people who would judge them. These tortured souls speak to us.

6. You're correct, I should have said illegal drugs.

Illegal drugs aren't required to have certain standards, for one thing. That reason alone should be enough for people to pause before using it, as they cannot be sure what they are getting.

I'm not perfect, I don't expect other people to be. But you do have to wonder why someone would get into heroin, for pete's sake, when they know what it does.

I do drink, and when I do I don't have more than 2 glasses/drinks at a time. I also don't get people who drink so much they throw up/pass out/black out. And then do it again next week/tomorrow night/whatever.

I'll defend their right to do so, and I do think most drugs should be legal, I really just don't understand it.

7. Plenty of alcoholics have committed suicide, too.

Would they have become addicted to heroin in the first place if they'd been happy and well-adjusted? Not likely. The drug addiction was simply a manifestation of something deeper. Self-medication, or, at first, the only pleasure in a life that seemed cold, empty and meaningless. People whose lives aren't almost unbearable in one way or another generally don't become drug addicts.

And I can understand why someone would get into heroin to the point where they acquired a habit. It feels wonderful. Almost like floating in the womb. And a good nod is like a vivid waking dream. People want to repeat anything that feels that good. But then they get a tolerance, and have to do more, and more, and eventually they're shooting or snorting two, three, four bags a day just to keep from getting dopesick. Not a good place to end up. But then it's not that different from someone who starts drinking, has a few on the weekends because they like the way it makes them feel, moves up to drunk every weekend, then drunk every day, then has a three-day blackout and DTs. Different substance, same trajectory.

3. Why do these artists' have to go when Britney blarrs away?

These people are tortured,that is when they do the best music. What a horrible fucking place to be.

5. I once met a sweet girl that dreamed so much

That the world around her changed in tiny, almost inperceptible ways. Things weighted a little less, and the drops in the sink dropped at their own rhytm, casting a slow ballet under the air.

She made me dream of cities that connected across the mountains. Something i always remember is that the cities had hexagonal grids, instead of cuadrilateral. Why the heck all cities are cuadrilaterals? the hexagonal shape is just as space efficient, and a lot more elegant...

But she passed away three years ago now, and the world is so much heavier now

8. that was beautiful.

:hug: i'm sorry for your loss of her.
