Meth Face

[Ronin13]

Couldn't stand me, hehe.

I was a shithead of a kid though; we were the "cool" hardcore kids, so we did whatever we wanted: just drank, skipped class, got in fights, etc.

I was a real shit. Had a lot of fun though. I worked at the movie theatre in bergen park too, so I had a fun cake job.

And sorry OP

Like so many, you now have left the nice serene mountains to go dwell in the city... but the cost of living up here has risen, and with the housing market going back up it won't get any easier. I was friends with the original owner of the BP Cinema, although it was so long ago I don't remember his name. 1st Movie I saw there was the grand opening when they played D2-The Mighty Ducks.

Wasn't it Howie or something? There were three owners: Hayden Sillick (think so), and two other guys

It was the builder/owner guy, I went to school with his son, Adam. I can't for the life of me remember his last name. But man that was back before the youngins took over and made that place the best spot for Jeffco to sit and write marijuana tickets.

Meth kills...

We had a close friend go through meth. Or should I say it went through her.
Very sad, she was a beautiful Indian (feather not the dot) girl who was an awesome mom to her kids. She ended up getting divorced and lost her kids and then hooked up with some tweekers and it went downhill from there.
In 4 years she went from a beautiful caring person to a hollow shell that became very ugly, inside and out. It got to where you couldn't even hold a coherent conversation with her, her thought process went about 50 different directions.
We haven't seen her for about 5 years, last we heard she was HIV positive, either from sharing a needle or getting turned out by the tweeks for money.
Very sad.

There used to be government programs to help addicts get off drugs by helping them get jobs. The government (us) would pay part of the wages of the recovering addicts. I used to go to a sandwich shop that was part of the program. I had to quit going there because a sandwich maker/employee would smile a meth mouth smile and I would lose my appetite. If they kept their mouth shut I was OK but that smile was a killer. It was too bad because it looked like they were getting their life turned around. I found out latter we were paying to get their teeth fixed as part of the rehab program.

Whenever I see the methproject billboards around town, all I can think is "zombies"...though one of them made me say "you got a purty mouth" out loud and got me some wierd looks from the wife.
