A thought that landed on my plate
I just thought of something.
Most of the time, people hang out with people in their similar cliques. Jocks hang with jocks, hot girls hang with...well, the jocks, hippies hang with hippies, punksters hang with punksters, and preps hang with whoever is coolest.
However, there is one thing that trascends (sp??) these bounderies. There is one thing that can knock down these walls like a wrecking ball. What is it, you ask? Drugs.
Only when drugs are involved will you see different types of people hanging out together. You could get two people in a room who would NEVER say two words to each other on the street, and they would be hanging with each other like they were best friends...if there were drugs involved.
And the most unsuspecting, innocent people are always the ones who are into the drugs. For example, there are people at Netspoke who I never would have imagined that indulge in some daily usage. I got asked to come along for a lunch time ride, and when I declined I was looked at like I had 3 noses on my face. Its sad that its come to the point where the weird thing to do is to not do drugs. Are people's lives that sad, meaningless, and dank that they need to rely on drugs for some form of happiness, or, more simply, stimulation? If you smoke weed once in a while, fine...knock yourself out. But its just...gross...when someone makes a habit of taking drugs.
I just don't get it.
