I have a hard time really feeling bad for someone who ODs though.
Not trying to stir up anything, but why? Just MPO, but people who OD are in a pretty dark place. I would feel bad for anyone that is in that much mental and personal turmoil in that they feel drugs are their only escape. Whether it was intentional or accidental, it is still a pretty bleak outlook to have and a personal hell I wouldn't want anyone to even imagine experiencing. I agree, I'm not surprised by his death either given his very publicized history, but still....
I don't mean this in an "oh, poor you, awwwwwwwww, i should feel bad for you, you poor addict" sort of condescending way either. The circumstances will vary from person to person, but addiction to any sort of drug is not fun, and shouldn't be taken lightly.
I also don't mean anything towards you notman. You're an awesome dude. Just putting out that food for thought... though I have still yet to learn to keep my mouth shut most of the time........... my All-Stars have teeth marks.
lol he wasn't in goonies.. that was corey feldman
That's the thing, drugs are not their only escape. Many other celebrities manage to handle the pressures and media spotlights without going into drugs.
I don't mean it to sound heartless, I just lose respect when people choose to get involved in heavy drugs. Like I said, I'm disappointed, because I was pulling for him to recover, but I don't feel sad, because he did this to himself. Does that mean I'm right to feel that way? Who knows, but it's still my emotional response.
Josh your thinking of the little brother and that was played by Sean Astin (rudy). Damn man drugs or not lost boys is still one of my favorite films of all times. R.i.p Lucus~ Corey!
Yeah. That's a shitty way to go man. Apparently it wasn't even illegal drugs that did him in, but some prescription abuse. There are people who use drugs because they just like to get fucked up all the time (party animals), and there are people who do drugs to cope with mental/emotional issues. It's the wrong coping mechanism for sure, but you've gotta have a little sympathy for those poor souls who feel so lost the only way to escape their demons is to numb their minds to it. Well, I do anyway.
R.I.P. Corey Haim.
Lost Boys + Silver Bullet FTW.
It really doesn't matter if its illegal or not, abusing drugs will get you killed. Be it by the drugs themselves or by what they make you do they will kill you. He lived the dream as a teen, started to party harder and harder with no one stopping him until he partied too hard and lost it all. He didn't stop once he lost it all, he kept going because he was trying to run away from the fact that he killed his career. Yeah there was probably something in his childhood that fucked him up, but he had choices that he never took that could have saved him. The best way to get away from your demons is to take them on one by one not hide from them with drugs.
