the dirty kid who had started living and getting high with the arabs was telling Michael about the time they had gotten into a fight a few years before after they threw urine filled ballons at the dudes they were fighting and Michael couldnt remember it at all.

That scene is real as shyt.

The other day I was talking to a younger family member and I brought up a story about something I felt was very memorable that they were involved in and they couldnt remember. It put it in perspective to me how much she has been through and is currently going through. Like What Im going through and have been through would probably be considered a lot to most of you all on here but it's normal to me so i dont geek over it. But the things she was telling me about what she's going through and shes been through had me like mentally saying "dam yo, i aint going through nothing compared to her" but this is her normal.

When she couldnt remember the story it immediatly reminded me of that scene from the Wire and how real it was.


What that scene did was put in perspective how our experiences change our view on the world. You see, Michael couldnt remember that story anymore because he had been through so much since then that story was like ancient history to him.....even though it was only a few years before.

Yeah I love that scene. Also spoke to how all of his childlike innocence was completely obliterated.

Randy in that boys home :sadcam:

The scene that kills me is when Randy was in the hospital after he and his foster mom was fire bombed...

"You gone help me?!" .... Instant :to:..... The feelings of loneliness... Vulnerability... And current and future despair

That scene said a lot about Dukie as well. He was desperately trying to hold on to some semblance of a normal childhood/life, Michael not remembering that killed him. shyt is just a powerfully poignant scene :wow:

That's how I saw it. It wasn't the Mike he knew.
