Oh you play the drums dude? That's rad man, I dig it. Like the band Tool at all? I play electric, gotta fat strat and a telly and a whole bunch of analog pedals and a tube amp with just two dials on it. Old school beautiful sound and I play in the dark corner of the basement with the amp facing the cement wall for natural reverb (got this idea on 2C-C and moved my stuff all in there... no distractions, dark creepy space in the dark man no seats, guitar at my waste. I'm gonna set up my telecaster today (ash bodied, blonde finish, beauty guitar with a maple neck) and play some chill stuff, not the usual more intense stuff I shred. I need to practice my cover track though too (Memento Mori by Architects... my idol guitarist who died of cancer at 28 last year... his last art).
I am frustrated by this as well. I would dedicated hours and hours each and every day I could manage to, which would be at least 5 days a week.
Yeah man once I got clean I hadn't played in like two years cause my addiction stole all of that energy and creative drive from my spirit, but my playing is better than ever before from very little practice. I am coming back with a vengeance. Glad you got playing again too!
That's super cool man, no shrooms up here really. Rare types, no cubensis. I've seen amanitas though, and even yellow ones. I have a crazy picture of one somewhere, maybe I'll find it. It looks like something out of alice and wonderland I found growing at my cottage. I forage chanterelles sometimes too, and boletes. Yummy. I need to find people who are dedicated to music too and I will do this by hanging out more and more with my brother. We're going to a show together this week, I bought a second ticket just in case he could go and he could. So psyched to spend time with him rocking out at a local band premier! His bday is coming up real soon so that is my gift to him, plus I want to get him that book Inherent Vice captain heroin mentioned which is my favourite film. He mentioned it to me today actually when we were talking about the film, already knew about the book. I knew right away I gotta surprise him with that and then we'll trade reads as we do and I'll get to read it too.
So chill. Time to spin up another unfiltered joint... only way I will smoke pot.
Man... I didn't even sleep last night. I was highly active all night and I am at this time too. I've been learning a lot about astrology all night while on the phone with a lady friend of mine. It was super cool. I just made breakfast, rolled a couple unfiltered j's, and did some yoga... 6 minute downward dogs to get exercising more after detoxing. I am not sure what I am going to do today but it is definitely going to be a busy day in terms of having a hell of a good time and working on my creative outlets. I'm going to continue reading my book this morning, and I ran some errands... I've had a very productive morning.
A lady friend of mine crashed after work yesterday and woke up at 3am as we were planning to have a phone call. We talking for 3 hours about various topics, and we studied astrology together learning the various signs in detail. We compared ours to each other, and she read me today's horoscope from Annabel Gat. She sounded like a cosmic weather lady, speaking in a delightful, cheerful, calm, and enthusiastic voice. (I got her into astrology just a few days ago, I love changing other spirits energy like that!!!). "The Moon in Libra clashes with Pluto at 3:12 AM, stirring up intense emotions. The Moon opposes Uranus at 6:36 PM, bringing surprises, but a grounded energy will arrive once the Moon connects with Saturn at 7:50 PM."
So I am in hysterics at this because it's like listening to a lovely, sweet, soothing, cosmic variation of a weather lady. I advised for her to be careful at 6:36! That's one of your ruling planets dear friend, some mystical stuff might go down. It was amazing and she told me I am a Chinese dragon which I already knew from my acupuncturist. I realized that my spirit animal is a beaver, and hers is an otter. How cute. Although, I am a also a symbolic bull, so I need to learn the difference. My ruling planet is Venus and I have a tattoo idea incorporating the Pentagram of Venus (crazy phenomenon, look it up), with my little astrology sign in the middle, with something occult like maybe the eyes and horns on the cover of the satanic bible in the pentagram there. I'm getting it done asap lol. Then she read our personal horoscopes, and my brothers, and my friend's... it was so damn cute, I normally just read them by myself.
I did some more "down to earth" things such as laundry, cleaning, and breakfast. Then I worked on my trip report on all of this that I am writing for erowid for a few more pages before desiring to move on to something else. I am presently about to open a book that will completely blow my mind to shattering soaring shining sheered slices of golden flakes exploding in universal, eurhythmic glory like a celebration of fireworks. In other words, further much welcomed fryage of my brain. I like to rail the stuff. I didn't even sleep, and such a lovely, beautiful day! I need to get outside at some point and take some more photographs. Maybe head to the mall, I could use some more candles ; )
I really have no idea what to do today but I can sense a high level of activity. It will most likely manifest as creative expression, and already has. I need to pick up this book, and perhaps aim for a 10 minute downward dog just before doing so.
Craziest thing of all. I have been taking way too many benzos for a long time, especially while in withdrawal from heroin earlier this year, and I am honestly forgetting to take them and not even noticing. I am at such peace with myself that I don't even care. I would say over the past week my use is down 50% and I have been on them for multiple years. It's fucking CRAZY like that, normally I'd be having panic attacks and tremors.
I created my first ever thread (in sex, love and relationships last night). It is called "pro choice ; pro life" and already has 17 responses and I am so delighted that I was able to engage people like that. My own decision has been on my mind a lot lately. Check it out if you'd like.
