Kevin Smith and his shadow
Over the past couple weeks, Kevin Smith has been chronicling the story of his relationship Jason Mewes, and Jay’s struggle with drugs. It’s a FASCINATING story, incredibly engaging, but LONG. It’s in 9 parts. I’ve been wanting to blog about it since I read the first chapter, but I wanted to be able to post it all at once. And after reading Anthony Kiedis’ Scar Tissue over the last two weeks, it was an interesting few looks into the life of a junkie. The funny thing is, this was all precipitated by the news stories that broke a few weeks ago about how Jay had sex with Nicole Richie in a club bathroom, which is the tiniest itty bitty part of the end of this story. So, here’s the links to all 9 parts:
Me and My Shadow, Part 1
Me and My Shadow, Part 2
Me and My Shadow, Part 3
Me and My Shadow, Part 4
Me and My Shadow, Part 5
Me and My Shadow, Part 6
Me and My Shadow, Part 7
Me and My Shadow, Part 8
Me and My Shadow, Part 9 - The Conclusion
Update: It seems that Kevin took all of these entries off his site, probably because he decided to publish them in a book, and didn’t want people to be able to get it for free. For those of you too cheap to buy the book, I’ve updated the links to the Archive.org cached versions.

Too funny — at first, when I saw this post pop up in my newsreader, I thought that it was mine. Not _quite_…but close enough to amuse me.
