Culture - History channel George Jung ~ the guy the movie blow is about

[nwpsychonaut]

There was a show on the history channel about the life, and misfortunes of George Jung the man that inspired the book and movie "Blow"

Man, this show makes Swim want some blow, when they are showing kilos upon kilos of shiny flaky pure shiny uncut powder laying out in columbia *heart pounding* theres swims addiction rearing its ugly head again...

Even though its showing the bad side, of the trade. It shows it is a very lucrative business, I could see how someone could easily become caught up in the promise of great wealth and massive amounts of product for personal use in the c0c@ine trade, but its so very dangerous... George was quite the entrepreneur one of the first in the game, he must have felt like pimmmmp fucking shit i could imagine like he was on top of the world, all the women he could ever want, the millions of dollars, being the man with the connection and being able to do anything he ever wanted, he could always be *UP* and not have to worry about getting that next line or hit of crack like the addicts at the lower consuming end spending every last dime, and scheming on how to get more, SWIM has been there himself and he knows hes not the only one here.
~Its just good swims source of money was brought to an end before it got worse, because swim was going to school every day, getting decent grades, being a good family member(Unless he was jonesing then he got very irritable almost violent but the family didnt know why, or atleast wouldnt accept it) but he was spending every single dollar he could get on the stuff, not many people except his close friends really knew what was really going on under the surface so in his mind at the time he had no reason to stop because he was *maintaining*, but people started to get the idea after a while and it changed him into a different person, and how started losing alot of weight, He is now a known cokehead among people his age and its damn sure a reputation thats stayed with him.
It was like he devoloped a split personality.. Him- which was calm, honest, generous with other drugs, caring, friendly, unselfish..... And there was the alternate personality, the coke FIEND that was like another person deep inside- He would be on edge, lieing, anti-social, selfish, caring only about himself and always trying to indulge himself with the shit whenever he could, always scheming, scandalous with coke, violent. Swim is lucky his parents never found out, and that it ended for the most part on its own, because he had already spent most of his teenage years in lockdown drug rehabs, and each time he came out wanting to try new things he heard about, but he also learned how to better keep his secrets a SECRET from people, if he would of got locked up again theres no telling what he would of done or been into after he got out.

There is a bonus extra on the Blow movie DVD (PAL edition), which explains this, which is actually quite interesting.
