Trainspotting (1996)

Now I've justified this to myself in all sorts of ways.
It wasn't a big deal, just a minor betrayal.
Or we'd outgrown each other.
You know, that sort of thing.
But let's face it. I ripped them off.
My so-called mates.
But Begbie. I couldn't give a shit about him.
And Sick Boy. He'd have done the same to me, if he'd only thought of it first.
And Spud. Well, okay, I felt sorry for Spud. He never hurt anybody.

So why did I do it?
I could offer a million answers, all false.
The truth is that I'm a bad person, but that's going to change, I'm going to change.
This is the last of this sort of thing.
I'm cleaning up and I'm moving on, going straight and choosing life.
I'm looking forward to it already.
I'm going to be just like you: the job, the family, the fucking big television, the washing machine, the car, the compact disc and electrical tin opener, good health, low cholesterol, dental insurance, mortgage, starter home, leisurewear, luggage, three-piece suite, DIY, game shows, junk food, children, walks in the park, nine to five, good at golf, washing the car, choice of sweaters, family Christmas, indexed pension, tax exemption, clearing the gutters, getting by, looking ahead, to the day you die.

Jeg's Final Win

Dave Barcelon's win in the final in Comp Eliminator at the 22nd annual Jeg's Allstars competition, held in conjunction with the Ameriquest Mortgage NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway outside of Chicago.

Barcelon, owner of Truck Town in Bremerton, Wash., trucked through the star-studded Comp field in his F/A '02 Cavalier with victories over Michael Johnson and David Eaton, then eked out a win by just .004-second in the final against Frank Aragona Jr.'s G/EA roadster, (-.52) 8.11 to (-.59) 8.49, thanks to a clutch .003 reaction time to Aragona's .078 leave.
