"me and my shadow," the story of kevin's relationship with jason mewes, jason's heroine addiction and recovery, and how he probably would be dead or in a gutter somewhere without kevin

http://silentbobspeaks.com/?p=235
this is part 1, and you can get to the other 5 (so far) parts on the right side of the page

this is an amazing story, people, and kevin tells it with such humility that you'd think he was telling the story about someone else.

Kevin Smith is my dad.

haha, this is great

Kevin Smith is the man. I don't even need to read that article to have that opinion.

4/7/2006 2:17:04 PM

I approve of this thread!!

4/7/2006 2:28:07 PM

good read, thanks for the post

4/7/2006 2:34:37 PM

Good read. I couldnt help but laugh at the guy that was calling Mewes "Dum Dum."

4/7/2006 2:49:45 PM

Well, that killed a good chunk of my work day. Good read.

I was dumbfounded, to say the least. “You memorized ALL the lines in the script?!?!” “Even the girl parts.” “What’re you, fucking ‘Rain Man’?! Why’d you memorize the whole goddamn script?!” “I don’t wanna piss off that Rickman dude.” "

haha

reading this while doing other things, and quite enjoying it.

4/7/2006 3:19:05 PM

dude, I wouldn't to piss off Alan Rickman either.

rickman > norris

4/7/2006 4:27:41 PM

I wonder how much of this has he talked about at speechs

he talked about that rickman bit on the dvd set "an evening with kevin smitih"

4/7/2006 4:38:49 PM

i read through all of that earlier....very crazy and very interesting!

4/7/2006 4:47:18 PM

is it finished, or will there be more

seems like it ends with no closure about him cleaning up, and how we got to today

the last line in part 6 makes it seem like by thanksgiving afleck had not relapsed, but Mewes had???

4/7/2006 6:07:44 PM

i stopped reading this thread at "heroine addiction"

4/7/2006 9:56:54 PM

I read it, but it was fucking killing me. You can't make people change if they don't want to. Jason's destructive lifestyle is going to kill him sooner or later...probably sooner.

4/7/2006 10:38:32 PM

part 7 will hit the site on monday apparently.

speaking of Kevin.... Anyone of you guys going up for Vulgarthon?

4/7/2006 11:04:02 PM

Wow for every kevin smith helping a personal friend with their heroin addiction there are 10000 not kevin smiths.

if you really read it you may have read the part where he mentioned that Mewes has been clean for 3 years now

Honestly, after reading 132541235 pages of that shit, I forgot about the positive introduction on page one.

4/8/2006 12:32:45 AM

it was extremely painful to read.

4/8/2006 12:33:38 AM

i saw his special on hbo the other night.. an evening with kevin smith.. mewes is in some of the footage.. was great!

4/8/2006 1:48:32 AM

I'd participate in this thread, but I don't enjoy sucking dick as much as you all clearly do.

i was flipping around the channels last night, and saw them both on Degrassi. that's some wild shit.

4/8/2006 3:14:17 PM

4/10/2006 3:11:01 PM

An Evening with Kevin Smith is indeed fucking great. His story about having sex with his wife for the first time is simply hilarious.

4/10/2006 4:15:10 PM

shits worse than Oprah after the show

4/10/2006 4:28:48 PM

damn.

4/10/2006 5:56:32 PM

4/10/2006 6:09:15 PM

4/10/2006 7:25:47 PM

"Walt and I watched with wonder as Mewes grabbed a pool cue and pretended to suck it off. Losing interest, he ran up to the phone on the front desk, grabbed the receiver from the cradle, and pretended to suck that off. He grabbed the flag pole and did the same. He grabbed a whiffle ball bat and did the same. This went on for twenty minutes, with seemingly no regard for our presence whatsoever. He never looked at us as if to say “Are you seeing this shit?” He never looked at us at all. He didn’t seem to care that we were even there. This wasn’t a show for our benefit. It was as if he’d been walking around Highlands moments earlier, took a gander at his watch, and was like “Wow – it’s two o’clock. I’d better get down to the Rec and suck everything off.” The kid had an agenda, and he was actively fulfilling it."

hahahaha

4/10/2006 8:53:05 PM

My favorite line is still "I don't wanna piss off that Rickman dude."

4/11/2006 12:47:30 AM

2 hours of my life gone. Good read-H is no joke for anyone involved.

4/11/2006 3:38:13 PM
