@CG? ; Wow, good on you for your determination, it does sound like a really responsible thing to do. I think I would never do something like that, but I wish you the best, three years is indeed not that much time.
 
Moving to San Francisco today.
Pretty happy about it, always wanted to live there. Gonna be taking a train all the way across country. They said it is a 3 day trip, but by the end I'll be in a better place. Wish me luck on my new journey, its the start of something new. What a long strange trip its been. And it only just began.

Hey man, good luck with the move! Moving to a new place is exciting and scary. But SO worth it when you find a place you feel like you belong in.
 
I miss moving. In fact, a career disrupting thing (like getting fired recently) would have been just the impetus that would usually have me packing my bags. Now, as a divorcee with shared custody, moving is no longer an option. Sure do miss it though! Good luck, Muddy Glow!

So I'm going to shoot for something big. I'm going for the money jobs. I know I can do it.

Man, I just got back driving from Illinois back to North Carolina. Fuck, fuck fuck, that was the worst that drive has ever been. I was already feeling sad and confused about leaving my dad again... but then there was construction constantly. We had to detour and stop a bunch of times, and the places we were seemed so terribly sad and desperate... billboards were garishly screaming at people to BUY THIS AND BE THIS, and people were doing it. And it was fucking crawling like an infestation, you could barely move on the highway from all the people. A previously beautiful town I used to stay in sometimes as a kid was overrun and terrible and scarred. I started thinking about how much we've fucked up the environment, like really it all hit me, oh fuck, we're unforgivable psychopaths. Oh god, what have we done?? Heard some good music though, which helped me, and my loving girlfriend was there with me. But then I saw a dead cat in the middle of the road. She was so sweet-looking, had a collar and was obviously loved, was very beautiful... and her face was looking up from her body and she was staring at me. And right then, the tape player in my car decided to stop working, with 4 hours left to go. The cat was all I could think about, it was horrifying. I wanted to go back and move her off to the side of the road because I didn't want her to get flattened and turned into roadkill for when her people found her. But I didn't go back because it was a 60mph highway in the mountains. It was really disturbing, I couldn't shake it. And then like 15 minutes later I saw a dead dog, the same way except with a long splatter of blood over to the side of the road like it dragged itself away. What. The. Fuck. :( The rest of the drive was physical and emotional torture. It was on top of a week of facing my dad near the end and also watching the Chicagoland news every night and my mom preaching anti-Trump stuff at me and repeating the same stuff over and over and all I can think about the whole time is how fucking fucked up shit is.

Until I got to my mountain region. As soon as we crossed the border, it somehow just became sublimely beautiful. Everything turned purple and there were cloud mist pillars and wisps floating up into the sky all around, and the air felt different, and I felt like all of that melted away when I got home . It's still there but I feel like I can face all of that stuff again. This place is magic to me, it's so crazy. I'm SO glad I live here, I think I'd be in a way different mental and emotional space than I'm in now if I hadn't moved here. I truly, truly love this place. <3

Sometimes all the negativity of the world just hits you all at once. :/ The roadkill story reminds me of Ann Shulgin's first psychedelic experience on peyote, in which she witnessed an automobile accident which killed a dog. She said she could feel everything around her, the trees and birds and so forth, tensing up for a moment as if in empathy for the dog's pain, before it passed away and the world breathed a sigh of relief.

I'm glad you can find solace in the place you call home. I absolutely love it where I live too, and that is tremendously important, something that I would never want to give up.

Sweet. Go for it, man. What career line are you thinking of pursuing? :)

Felt like recording today: Listen to Better Man by escapegoat pharmakos #np on #SoundCloud
https://soundcloud.com/charles-hundersmarck/better-man

Cover of Pearl Jam's "Better Man"

I thought I was doing well on the vocals until I listened back to the recording :p. My dream is still to find a dedicated vocalist to work with, while I just do backup vocals.
 
Nice one pharmakos. Keep singing man, and keep recording, good for you putting yourself forward like that.
I liked the next song that came on on your stream "The Way I am" your voice came through very genuine once you got warmed up. Guitar sounded out of tune though :p maybe that was on purpose, kind of suits the song.

~~~

Drugs like ketamine, DXM, nitrous we call "dissociative" - Do you think it would be fair to label classic psychedelic drugs like LSD, mescaline, mushroom as "associative"?
 
That was the first day I learned The Way I Am. I do it better now. :). I think the guitar was slightly out of tune, I recorded that one near dawn after being awake all night
 
Oh man, I just got back from the studio. We've got 3 new tracks we're recording and I'm now done with all of my parts. They're sounding awesome, I'm so excited. :)
 
Being unemployed sucks. Hopefully ill be working here again in like a week or two. I need money im sitting around at hpme with nothing to do and no money to go anywhere
 
Some fantastic experimental folk stuff, really worth a triplisten :)

 
^ I checked that out a while back when someone posted it on here, maybe you Swillow? Really cool performance. They've created an aesthetic that simultaneously feels completely fresh, and completely familiar. It's like they invented a genre of music that we knew about all along. You can really hear how it's metal deep down inside in it's core, but without any of the normal instruments for expressing that metal vibe.
 
^I might have posted it before actually, good enough to repeat really. :)

There is a few of these bands now but I think they are hugely influenced by Warduna.

People might have heard this before too

 
Holy crap, that was amazing (the Heilung video). I love the message, too. "What if I want to talk about peace and not the current standard? But you only understand the language of the sword."

My kind of people.
