“I was too proud to admit that any of it hurt; too proud to think that even for a second it could phase me.” (91) He lost his plumbing job. (52) He and his friend got thrown in jail because they were caught trying to ship weed to a friend so he could sell it. (53-54) They had to put their business on hold that they had started because they didn’t have a contractor’s license. (64) He and his friend were picked up by federal agents on their way out from seeing their marijuana dealer and taken to prison. (79-80) While he and his girlfriend were over at his his former employees house for dinner, they all were busted for selling to a undercover agent. (83-84) Jimmy took off and left the other 3 at the house to be arrested. (84-87) He called a lawyer to check on what the cops had and decided to turn himself in. (87) He called his sister to ask her for $50 so a lawyer would present him but she wouldn’t give it to him. (89) His girlfriend wrote him a letter in jail saying that she and his former employee had fallen in love and she was leaving him. (91) While in jail he was kicked and pistol whipped, then drug by several detectives into an office to be interrogated and then pummeled until he wouldn’t feel the blows or see out of his eyes. (92-93) They then flung him into a car and drove down a highway, opened the door and tried kicking him out so that the police car behind them could run him over. (93) How he deals with his adversity is he would smoke weed and get drunk. Which wasnt very effective because half the time it just made him edgier. My response to what I read was I still feel sorry for him because no matter what he tries to do it always gets blown up in his face and he just can’t seem to get a hold on things. No matter how hard he tries he keeps failing.
