Blasted to the point of not breathing (MJ)

[Boss.man]

Alcohol abuse, Oxycontin, Demerol, daily injections, body so full of drugs it forgot to breath any more. $400 million in debt, $100k per month rent on the house, plus never trusting anyone for anything. Michael Jackson.

I spent enough time in alcohol slumber wishing I could just stay in my haze forever and never have the real world again. AL makes your whole world view shrink so only two modes exist; haze and depression, which makes haze a logical choice.

My doggies would miss me. And the kitty said -I- was being indolent.

Today I have plans to go out for dinner, Thai food. I got some Knudsen pure blueberry juice the other day, and with some soda it will be my "wine" for tonight. Breakfast tomorrow will be fresh melons, buckwheat blueberry pancakes with some turkey sausage and really good coffee. Can't wait to smell all that cook up. I like this road better than the endless-haze-unil-you-die approach. Scary to think how close I got to it.

I must have missed the details on Wacko Jacko. I didn't know he was in debt either. Guess my head has been under a rock, or I've been spending too much time at MWO!

Your blueberry juice and soda sounds yummy. And what time is breakfast? Mmmm.....

Enjoy your weekend, BossMan!

Good post Boss man thanks, it is straight to the point. Life is so much better in so many ways and it could have so easily have taken the other path.

I'm with you Boss.man,

He spent his entire life escaping from reality, one way or the other.

Your menu sounds delicious. I have a bumper crop of raspberries in the yard right now. Just found a recipe for raspberry lemonade - gonna go make some, yum

Lavande,
You can make raspberry preserves -- it is really easy. I use the recipe on the back of the Sure-Jell box (I use the low sugar Sure-Jell). My raspberries used to be a bumper crop, but have been pretty thin the last couple years (weeding helps!). Hopefully I'll get more in the fall.

Update, this gets scary. We're all pikers compared to the pill popping MJ was doing.

" In addition to the mind-bending painkiller Demerol that the "King of Pop" took three times a day, he also took 3 milligrams of the overwhelming narcotic Dilaudid as well as Vicodin daily.

To add to the reality-altering effect of Demerol, Jackson also took a drug called Vistaril, which amplifies the narcotics' effect, experts say.

Rounding out the staggering pharmacopia, Jackson scarfed down the muscle relaxant Soma, antidepressants Zoloft and Paxil, anti-anxiety drug Xanax and the heartburn medication Prilosec on a daily basis, a source close to the Jackson family told the British paper The Sun.

The source said the 5-foot-10 Jackson weighed just 125 pounds when he died at age 50 and was eating just one meal a day. "

Raspberry Lemonade sounds nice. I'm working on making some decaf iced tea for the afternoon...

Hey Boss Man I am so impressed, I had no idea you were a part of Michael Jackson's entourage! How else could you know such intimate detail of his alcohol and drug abuse? Wow! Did he leave you anything in his will?

On the other hand, maybe you are just reading bullshit tabloids and gossiping. Who is to know?

Liza Minelli was a friend of his and said that when the toxicology reports come in all hell will break loose.

If she told you that you better not tell her any of your secrets because with so-called friends like that who needs enemies. She was no true friend to him obviously.

I dont think there is any question that there was drugs in the picture. Why all the hostility about this it is what it is. He was only 50. Just think of what we are doing to our bodies when we are drinking heavily or engaging in drug use.
