I was going through an old journal and found a half written entry... I could immediately tell after reading the quote with which I started how sad I must have been when I started to write this...

From the movie entitled "Blow" which tells of the adventures of drug smuggler George Jung...

George: "So in the end, was it worth it? Jesus Christ. How irreparably changed my life has become. It's always the last day of summer and I've been left out in the cold with no door to get back in. I'll grant you I've had more than my share of poignant moments. Life passes most people by while they're making grand plans for it. Throughout my lifetime, I've left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there's almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door".

as to whether George Jung ever actually said those words... or did screen writer David McKenna embellish and thought that maybe George Jung would have said this... who knows???

regardless, I think about this movie quote quite a lot... I'm pleased that as I get older... I tend to disagree with it more and more...

perhaps I'll expand on my disagreement with George at a later time, I was just amused with myself and the journal entry I found ...
