THE JUNKY'S CHRISTMAS (1993) Nick Donkin & Melanie McDaniel

SO AFTER.....
Christmas and falling flat on my face after the holidays. I decided to write about what I love and know the most about...
JUNKIES

So as mentioned above, I was on the nod and decided to just fucking lay in a pit of despair until I had the strength to walk over to the bathroom to take a piss. I was that bent outta shape. Now before I go into this review, I just want to say that ANY TUESDAY BEFORE A MAJOR HOLIDAY IS THE WORST FOR BUYING D-RUGS. seriously dudes, motherufckers are cashed out because people are stockin up and forgetting the rest of us need to fix (responsibly of course haha). So with all the busts going on around my way it was hard to get in touch with anyone and so i was stuck hustling up some subutext or however you spell that shit.
ANYWAYS
THE REVIEW:
I FUCKING LOVE THIS ANIMATED VERSION OF THIS CLASSIC BURROUGHS SHORT: THE JUNKY'S CHRISTMAS (narrated by WILLIAM BURROUGHS OF COURSE!!)
Oddly enough this aired on VH1 and i guess its when shit was cool on TV then or McDaniel pulled some strings with her music video creds.

Let me start off by saying that THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN, I mean not with me anyway. I've pulled many a hustlin schemes so i would totally think the kid in this story was a fucking liar. So here goes, the story is about Danny Carwiper (hah!) who is out looking for skag on a blistery and lonesome christmas day,; DOPESICK no less, wandersthe streets of a New York Burrough. Without any luck he tries to steal some shit or at least find some shit to steal from some dudes car on the street. Caught, Danny decides its time to give the croaker a call (doctor). Danny walks over to
the croaks house and pretend he has got some sort of weird facial seizure and The drunk ass doctor decides he's grown a conscience and decides that writing illegal scripts for dope is ILLEGAL and tries to set Danny with half a grain of a painkiller... danny totally surprised and ready to whine about the amount races to his hotel/motel room home and gets hiw kit out to "get well". Let me tell you something, if it were me hearing a kid scream next door i would do my shot THEN see what the noise was about. So Danny hears someone yell in a room next door to him and decides to check it out mid tourniquet squeeze. He walks next door to see a kid screaming wretched sounds of pain. the kid has kidney stones. Danny asks him "whats wrong" and as the kid replies he has "kidney stones" Danny offers to call the ambulance but his new found friend in pain replies "they wont dome".  Danny then concludes its because the ambulance will think or does think its a JUNKY calling for pain meds.
Danny is really a stand up guy because in that cold dopesick heart of his he decides to give his grain injection to this kid.
After the pain subsides, the kid decides he's ready for a nap (hey i would be too if it were my first fucking intro to dope in a needle).
What happens therein is basically something of a miracle.... a miracle that I wish would happen to me after i've shared my fucking downtown with other junkies... oh well
There's your fucking story/review for the holidays motherfuckers!
BACK ON THE NOD...
