Middle man to survive

Time: 2009
Place: Baseline & 27th, Boulder CO

This building with the beautiful art on the side of it, located just off Baseline and Broadway used to be a Wendy’s. I used to live on one meal a day from here. My diet consisted of $5 worth of Wendy’s, spiced rum, cigarettes, blow, ecstasy and any other shit I could get my hands on. I had to hustle up about $25 a day to sustain this. $5 at Wendy’s, $15 handle of Admiral Nelson and $5 pack of smokes. I could usually get free uppers from middle-manning deals. And I pulled it off... Every. Fucking. Day.

Funny enough, I drove by this Wendy’s yesterday trying to help out another, still active, addict. I spotted it and saw that it was shut down, so had to stop for a picture. Memories came back pretty intensely as I was driving around, and spotting this building, they came back very vividly. The world works in funny ways, another amazing reminder of how lucky I am to live the life I do today.
