LINKIES BINKIES

It's a quite long read (not sure of the page count because it's webpages but it took me well more than an hour to read through all the entries), and yeah on one level it's just another story about a Junkie's journey to and from hell, but in the context of Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes, I couldn't help but get completely captivated and affected by it. if you're at all a fan of these guys and you have some time on your hands it's worth reading...
Definently a long read that I spent most of the day on and off with among other things. Within the Kevin Smith/Jason Mewes relationship it's much more intriguing. Espcially if you've seen those Chasing Amy DVD/LD intros to deleted scenes where Mewes looks to be in another place entirely almost proped up on a comic rack, or listened to the old Clerks commentary while they were shooting Mallrats and Mewes proceeds to get more and more intoxicated.

If you can't read all of it, at least skim the pages. There are some wonderful bits of humor in there too, like when Mewes discovers who's in the room next door to him at a malibu rehab clinic and quotes himself from Chasing Amy('Look at this morse motherfucker right here...') when he sees it's Ben Affleck.
