^ Damn that's awesome. Since it's just an effect in Sony Vegas I totally have to record something and try that. It'd be cool if cities of the future looked like that :D

Unfortunately no sign of my drugs yet, it took 4 days last time so I was hoping they'd be here this morning, but I guess with it being close to Christmas, mail is probably slow.

Edit: Check the video in the description too: http://vimeo.com/24084352

Awesome, pretty cool how such a simple effect can make something so beautiful and dream-like
 
dude! that guy has talent! :) been watching some of his vids all morning :P

mushrooms. they are awesome. seriosly. tehy are mindfucky, but the way in which they bring back memories and allow moments of pure joy to be experienced... most delicious.

interesting talk about living in the present, as is it the only "real" time that we have... but while i do agree this is a nice concept for certain aspects of life, i dont see it as the endpoint for everything.
just think of your future plans. sure, they may not really happen the way you plan them, you may suddenly chance focus, or some tragedy might drive you off course, but still, some things need preparation, planning and the constant application of will to get there.
lets say you are 20. you have a sense of what you want to do in life. lets say you want to become a chemist. living in the now, you go to college, enjoy parties, take up whatever subjects you fancy, from eastern philosophy to applied biophysics. but in the end, you have to think where you want to get and follow certain steps to get there. you will never become a chemist without taking up chemistry classes.

dont you think that living in the now might strand you on a path in life which you may feel is not your own?

plus, living in the now removes some anchors from the past, and may leave one prone to giving in to fears that seem far grander in a moment in time than on the large scale of things. think of a time when you had to sacrifice something in order to get to where you think you belong. if your fears get the better of you, you may lose that opportunity...
 
^Word. Really, I consider enlightenment to be a red herring (and I consider the whole inner-peace/be here now thing, while being useful to a point, to be taken way to seriously as an enlightenment-equivalent by many). The concrete answers, the definite goals that such concepts provide us are illusory (or at best our attempts to give answers to them are like the parable of the blind men and the elephant). I believe I have said before, trying to know the world is like trying to fit the ocean in a single glass.

Ate some kava kava pills that I was given (the kind they sell at the 99cent store), doubtful they're any good, so I took the maximum recommended daily intake all at once (2g). Well, there's a slight sedation that I can count as non-placebo.. Now Imma vapin' mah reserve meth. 'cause I feel like it.

Good on ya man, glad to hear from you and that your in a good place :)
 
This is one of the worst pieces of drug journalism I've been exposed to in a while.
 
^ Ya, pretty bad. Self-proclaimed shaman, ceremony, waiver, sounds like a set/setting not for me.

Ayahuasca seems to be getting a lot of press lately. About a month ago there was a story on the evening news about an addiction researcher in Vancouver who was doing a study of treating heroin addicts with ayahuasca. The researcher himself looked kind of like Jonathan Ott :P. Press about psychedelics as medicine can be good but it has to be done right.

I've been reading stuff about ostracism and how the silent treatment is one of the most painful things a person can experience. Interesting stuff. Going to do some more reading on activation of the anterior cingulate cortex.

~7mg oxycodone + ~7mg MXE for me tonight, I find this mix to provide some nice weekend escapism as well as making you think.

Best line I've read all night:
The experience of being rejected is subjective for the recipient, and it can be perceived when it is not actually present.

Now there's food for thought.

I somehow didn't read this. Good reasons to not live entirely in the present if I ever heard them.

Hey You! It's not too often someone out of the blue makes their one and only post on their join date in the PD Social thread. A rather good post at that. :)

Who art thou?
 
Ahhhh. Man, santacon was fun. Sooo much whiskey, and sooo many drunk santas. I walked a lot too. Also, the night ended early, we started at like 2pm, and ended at like 8... still, 6 hours of drinking is a LOT.

Nothing like packing a trolley full of drunk, crazy santas
 
hai gauise, just wanted to let you know vapires dont drink blood, that red stuff dripping from their teeth is NyQuil :!
 
^ Oh deliriants. ;)

So I'm excited because I think my drugs will probably arrive tomorrow :D I'm going to play some Rome: Total War, and also going to try and write up a covering letter today so I can apply for some jobs instead of being lazy. :p
 
^ ah i had a friend who always use to play that. he was good at it, but he was also embarrassed by the fact that he played it ??

on another note i have another friend who thought i took him to a gay bar, but it wasn't, and the short time we were there he thought it was a gay bar the whole time, and even the next day he still didn't believe it wasn't a gay bar ??

ah neuroses .................

+ sad i just wrote "had a friend who" ...
 
^ Maybe it was a gay bar except no one knew it but him. ;)

Afterglowing this afternoon. :) My sleep schedule is FUBAR again though. I'm going to bed around 2-4 and waking up 1-2 on a regular basis now.

Must study and get sleep schedule reset.
