Friend and Fiend?!

The Wire must be the best tv-show ever made and I don't want to hear any other arguments. That's what I think and that's how it goes...

The man behind the show is the same man who was behind "Homicide - Life on the Streets" some years back and it was then my favourite show. You've got to give the mean credit where credit's due. The characters he creates are wonderful however bad they are. It might not make much sense but that's how I feel. Omar is fantastic, Barksdale, Bell and all the other drug dealers and murderers have that complexity that makes a person a person. It's not just a question of good vs bad as it so often is in these kinds of shows.

The only thing is that I have extended my vocabulary quite a bit and not with "nice and pretty" words. I am now in possession of a vocabulary so foul that I'm surprised my tongue hasn't rotten and fallen off at this stage. But I guess it's the price to pay and it could come in hand one day when I've gotten lost and find myself lost in the worst part of the worst areas in drug dealer-land. Boyfriend aside - I have a tendency to fall for the bad 'uns. God, they're hot when they're mean - although I wouldn't say no to 'Cutty' as nice and sweet as he is...
