20-Something Boy Sells Second Memoir
From the Dept. of Extensively Documented Youth: Nic Sheff, whose memoir Tweak was published 17 months ago, has sold a second memoir. It is also about his drug addiction! Which is very unique and exciting to publishers and readers alike! His father is also busy pimping the family's involvement with programs that have the word "Anonymous" as half their names, and, you know, I guess they find that whole idea totally confusing because it's so blatant and obvious?
You know what? I done enough drugs to kill a horse, but I don't get to write a fucking book because I'm not some pussy-assed addict. So tired of the addict-meme.
Conclusion: BOOKS ARE FOR PUSSIES.
The whole "I done enough …" thing might be another publishing prevention.
Seriously, his problem seems to be that he's a teenager, not that he's an addict. There used to be a time when being, like, an alcoholic, MEANT something. It was an achievement over a decade or more. Now it's seasonal.
I think it's just wonderful that you can actually make a career from being a drug addict.
Ever hear of the music business?
Well yeah, but at least there you have to try to make people dance. You ever try to dance to a memoir?
Relapse No. 14: Excedrin PM, A Memoir
Still putting the finishing touches on 'yesterday'. A pretty gut wrenching first-hand account of a Sunday afternoon and night spent broke because my work didn't deposit checks before the holiday Friday. When I split a capucino with my son using change from my couch Balk is going to go all 'faucets'.
The relapsing to come up with new material will kill him.
Don't get my hopes up.
Hey 'Ceph! Get thee to Gravatar.
A memoir at 20 years old. So that would make it a pamphlet? Maybe one of those tracts that the watchtower people leave when i won't answer the door?
I thought this was an Onion article. The photo screams such…
Gah, I long for the days when being a god damned addict was something you were embarrassed, and thus, quiet about.
I fucked up getting a book deal by not getting fucked up.
Hey: I'm deprived on account I'm not depraved!
I'm gonna go out tonight and snort a shit ton of research for my upcoming memoir. As soon as my "ghostwriter" calls me back.
When the religious types tell you society is degraded and deranged they never tell you this is what they mean by societal collapse. If they did we'd all be in church now. Just prayin' away like little Tracks n Trigs n Cliff Richards.
