Bread
So im eating bread right now. Seb is asking me who's bread am i eating, but i can honestly say its my bread i bought from the shop today. Damn its good bread over here, fresh and warm even from the supermarket. I eat so much bread its not funny.
So tonight seb and i have been to the pub, for one of Joels famous 1 beers which suddenly turns into atleast a few more. Tonight we went to the pub 'great escape' which is probaly the most english pub in town we have been to. We played some darts with some random french couple which was heaps of fun, but i do believe that i lost both games which isnt the best.
Anyway the reason for this post. Well there isnt really a proper reason for it. I was just thinking about drugs, u know those good ol' things, the things which every generation goes through and you can usually define a generation by it. Our generation, i guess its ecstacy, or maybe even ice, im not too sure, but ecstacy would be my main guess.
Drugs are a funny thing, some are legal some are not. Some take drugs for certain reasons, some people take them for others.
Me personally, well i take drugs.....as in alcohole quite abit, i have been drinkin' quite a bit since in switzerland. I guess its nice to have a drink with someone you know well. Or even in italy and england its also nice to drink with total randoms which then turn into friends. Some people dont consider alcohole a drug but i do, it definately affects the mind, i think its just not as potent as other drugs (if taken in some sort of moderation) and also it exits the body quicker then most drugs. I also guess our body has come to handle the drugs better then others as its been around for ages and we have adapted to it. Its nearly in every type of culture in the world and is highly accessible to nearly all. So yes i guess its my drug of choice as they say.
The reason i take it? Well usually because im pretty happy to have a beer or two or three, no other real reason i guess its part of society and society's norms. Compared to other drugs because of its accessibility its widely ackwoledged as a normal thing to do and socially accepted by nearly all. Does that make it a good drug though? I dont think so, it is the reason for the majority of car accidents, nearly kills the most people and is definately causes the most problems....well that and cigarettes. So what the hell am i getting at, im actually not too sure either.
I guess to me, it comes down to motivation. Why do people take drugs? There are so many variables that it really comes down to the individual. Everyone is different and has different reasons obviously. I guess soceity would be a lil' to perfect if no-one took drugs. Drugs are part of our life and are part of growing up too. We all go through stages, as more mature people would say, we go through stages where we are more opened minded (ie younger) and take/experiement with different types of drugs. I do sometimes wonder what its like to be older and what my opinion will be on drugs. Because i dont know many parents who are 'pro' drugs, i guess some parents do realise and remember how they where at a certain age and hence dont mind there kids experimenting with different types.
Again i quesiton wtf im getting at. Well personally i dont like the idea of taking drugs to give you confidence. Im the kind of person who will take a drug not to get confidence but usually because I like the drug (alcohole) and m already happy/confident or because i have never tried it before. Im usually willing to try any drug besides like really really hardcore drugs (ie heroin) because i would like to experience the effect of it. It just seems i never really am in a situation when they turn up or are offered compared to other people. Im not really a person who becomes addicted to drugs either. Some people have the so called 'addictive jean' and become more dependent on drugs then others, me im pretty controlled. Like i could stop drinking for a few months without a problem, though socially it would even be taboo to do, but i could defionately do it. Ive actually done it before. In perth for 3 months i didnt get drunk at all and never felt like i needed/wanted to either. So when it comes to experiementing with drugs i have no real issues because i know the reason im doing it is because i just want to try it not do it on a continues basis. I guess i really enjoy my current reality. hehe i guess u can never say that, who knows i could become hooked on something, but hopefully i wont.
Hmmm i seem to be blabling alot. Well i should also state that i dont have a problem or try to judge people for taking drugs. There is not doubt that i have before especially in a relationship. Theres no doubt that i obviously did actually. For what reasons, i guess to do with security, i didnt really understand it, also i think it was alot to grasp for someone who was quite naive about them. But im trying to be more opened minded with these things and accept things for how they are. I guess it really is a part of life and thats just how it is, you shouldnt judge people for it, they have there own personal reasons and you may never know why. I guess when your in a relationship wiht someone and u care about them more then anything in the world, things are blown out of proportion, or that you just care a lil' too much that was me i think. However, personally drugs to me are nearly the most un-attractive thing someone can do. Now i mean this on the level of not like having a drink occationaly with friends but other stuff. I must state this is my own personal opinion. Taking drugs on a regular basis for me is a turn off. I dont know why, i guess its got to do with maybe my upbringing i was never that into drugs my entire life and no-one in my family has been heavily into drugs so they have usually been like a thing you do occationaly. It also has to do with how i treat my body and care about myself. I do, most of the time care about myself and try to stay healthy, though i cant say on this trip it has been my #1 priority. But in general i do try to keep fit and healthy and i guess thats why i have my opinion on drugs. It also has to do with confidence and reasons for taking them, if someone is entirely happy with there lives but chooses to take drugs anyway, for me i guess this is more acceptable ..i dont know why, it really shouldnt matter the motivations but for some reason it still effects me. Maybe im not as opened minded as i should be? or as i hope to be? Who knows it could always change, change is the only certainty as they say. But for the time being thats how i stand.
Funny because ive wanted to write something about drugs for a long time, like i have been thinking about it quite a bit, but seems only now after ive been out and had a few drinks that i write this? Hypocritical, entirely.
