Heroin @ MindSay 
drugs
Anyway so the main reason I blogged(and sorry for those who have been expecting me to blog daily, or a lot sooner.. just hasn't felt right). I had a wicked fucked crazy dream. Here it is:
I remember it starting out at a chilll party, people drinking beers.. nothing really interesting going on that I remember at the time. I fell asleep and fast foward to the morning. I woke up, looked aruond got a beer.. usual things I'd do. Went back to sit down and I saw this female playing with a needle.. and I was thinking "Ohh noo". I've never tried the shit, but she was getting heroin ready.. mainly checking out the needle. A guy comes up from behiend her and she lets him examine it.. and he stickts it in his vein and checks out the plunger(with nothing in it).. I'm thinking "God these people are fucking sharing needles? How disgusting". So then he fucking starts throwing it at the drop down celing like a pencil!! WTF. Then I'm like this is fucked up and walk away..
It turns out this is my friend Stephanies house, whom has had bad experencies with the drug.. not her personally but old friends. Anyway I was walking back, subconsciousnly knew steph was getting out of the shower and I pass her while she is going back to the living room, letting out a whimper.. She comes running back crying and I stop her and I'm like "I KNOW!" And we both start just bawling in eachothers arms.... very emotional. We end up going to the back and we find an amazing stairwell.. I commented "This place would be amazing to trip in(well cause it would)" and she totally agreed! Anyway we went down to a crazy uneven basement and there were a lot of crickets down there... strange. Anyway I decide to leave and I do.
I walk outside and go sit down on a bench. I'm not sure if the kids were there before, or after, but they were smoking cigarettes.. and we were right outside of a gas station.. so I'm like.. fuck it... *smokes one too*. This other girls comes up, I think it is one I met from California lastnight on 321sexchat.com. It looked a lot like her and her boob kept falling out, it was nice, but I tried to keep my composure and ignore it.. I'm cool like that. Anyway she disappeared or something and a cop rolls up.. how did I know that was gonna happen! All the kids walk away but I'm like whatever, I'll just chill here. He came up and made me pick up all the full cigarettes.. and apprently there were a lot of them.. but I did it willfully and enjoyed it! Haha. He even said that I don't have to pick them alll up and i'm like, might as well get the job done well! He didn't care if I bought the cigs for them or not lmfao.
Anyway yeah. That's prettymuch it! Was pretty awesome.
Sorry again to all those people who have been waiting for a post! Hope this made up for it! (kinda long) hehe.
PS I forgot that my phone was broken in my dream. I didnt think about it untill I wondered why my phone was in one peice.. it was broken in a very abstract way.. strange..
Andre Young Jr. was found dead by his mother at his Los Angeles home after spending a night out with friends.
After toxicology and other tests, the coroner ruled his death as accidental and says the case is closed, spokesman Larry Dietz said on Friday.
The presence of drugged fighters is not unknown in the history of warfare. Yet widespread drug use on the battlefield is now part of protracted conflicts largely fought by nonprofessional combatants that take place in an international system characterized by the process of globalization. From marijuana, khat, hallucinogenic mushrooms, cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine to looted pharmaceuticals, irregular fighters have found a ready supply of narcotics to consume for a variety of combat purposes. Such consumption has led to unpredictable fighting, the commission of atrocities, and to the prolongation of internal violence. The presence of intoxicated combatants will continue to be a feature of armed conflict and requires a fuller accounting to adequately prepare policymakers and military planners for future conflicts.

April 24, 2007 – The United States has a "five-pillar" plan to counter the Afghan narcotics industry, which supplies about 93 percent of the world's opium and has a virtual monopoly over the global heroin market, a top Defense Department official said here today. "The five pillars are public information, alternative livelihoods, eradication, interdiction and justice reform," Richard J. Douglas, deputy assistant secretary of defense for counternarcotics, counterproliferation and global threats, told reporters at the Pentagon.
Narcotics trade in Afghanistan hinders the country's economic growth and undermines its democratic institutions by providing extremists, terrorists and other dissidents the resources to oppose the central government, Douglas said.
The Defense Department is using the five pillars to "increase the capacity of the government of Afghanistan ... to stop narcotics trafficking," he said. "When the Afghan government is in a better position to pick up the load, it's going to take a lot of pressure off of our people, and that's what we're hoping to see."
Douglas, who visited with the governor of Afghanistan's Helmand province last year, said that despite some "sobering challenges" operationally, there is "quite a bit of political will on the part of the Afghan government to deal with this problem."
"The fact is, we're better off than we were three years ago when we started the program," he said. "There's certainly cause for optimism that Afghans themselves ... are going to be able to deal with this mission."
Drug Enforcement Agency mentors are training and equipping a specialized Afghan interdiction unit to directly address traffickers. "We are developing an Afghan intelligence fusion cell, a communications system and a number of bases of operation," Douglas said.
Additionally, a squadron of MI-17 HIP H helicopters will support the interdiction unit. "The helicopter squadron is very important because of the need for air mobility in a country with extremely rugged terrain (like Afghanistan)," he said.
In conjunction with the State Department, the Defense Department will engage in the "border management initiative, which will assist in hindering the flow of drugs leaving Afghanistan and the importation of precursor chemicals needed to turn opium into heroin," he said.
Douglas said the tactical training Afghan border police are receiving "has already reduced casualties during confrontations with narco-traffickers at the border."
The Defense Department also is cooperating with counternarcotic authorities in Central Asian "transit zone" countries to help clamp down on illicit drug exports from Afghanistan -- the "source zone."
"We have efforts under way in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan," Douglas said. "The idea is to do similar efforts to build capacity on the other side of the border, so the Afghan and bordering authorities are able to cooperate and work better together."
A softer approach in which the departments of State and Defense are jointly engaged is the "alternative livelihood pillar" that aims to introduce new crops or alternative yields into Afghanistan's agriculture to wean Afghan farmers off the poppy crop used for opium and heroin production.
Douglas said international challenges are exacerbated by consumerism in "arrival zone" countries. "The No. 1 narcotics problem we face is demand in the United States," he said.

April 19, 2007 – The illicit, but lucrative, opium trade is helping to finance Taliban operations while placing a stranglehold on Afghanistan's economy, the commander of U.S. Central Command testified during a Congressional hearing yesterday. In fact, some military analysts credit the recent relative lull in Taliban activity to their participation in the annual opium harvest that's under way now in Afghanistan, Navy Adm. William J. Fallon told House Armed Services Committee members.
"This is opium harvest season, I'm told, and that's probably one of the reasons why the Taliban have been relatively quiet in the last couple of weeks because (intelligence analysts) tell me they're busy out in the fields harvesting their crops," Fallon told committee members.
Opium is a powerful illegal narcotic that's derived from poppy plants cultivated by many Afghan farmers as a cash crop. Heroin is an opium derivative and most of Afghanistan's opium is sold on the European drug market.
Fallon said it is unfortunate that some Afghans are dependent on opium-poppy farming for their livelihoods.
"It's painful to watch this, because the impact of this criminal activity runs throughout the country and I suspect it's one of the reasons life is challenging in Afghanistan, because it appears that at every level, from growers to farmers on up to higher levels, there's some degree of gain from this illicit trade," Fallon said.
As desirable as it would be to remove opium as Afghanistan's mainline cash crop, Fallon pointed out that a viable alternative agricultural crop would have to be identified to replace it.
"I think we have to come up with a realistic alternative," Fallon told committee members. Some have proposed that orchard crops could one day replace opium growing in Afghanistan, he noted.
"What I don't know how viable this is as a realistic, major 'muscle mover' in the (Afghan) economy," Fallon said, noting that he's been told it would be very challenging to get the orchard produce to market, given the rudimentary and poor state of Afghanistan's roads.
In fact, that's why ongoing work to establish a ring of paved roads that connect Afghanistan's major municipalities is such an important project, the admiral said.
"Everybody that I've talked to, from President (Hamid) Karzai on down, tells me (the new road network) is absolutely essential to the economic future" of Afghanistan, Fallon said.
Fallon took over as CENTCOM's chief March 16. Since then, he has traveled to Iraq, Afghanistan and other Middle Eastern countries that come under his command's purview.
