Stupid NBC wants me to have cable/satellite or somesuch nonsense to watch live. Bastards.
Our broadcaster plays live in the middle of the night, but it's often not the event I want to watch. Tomorrow night and Tuesday night I'm planning to stay up all night and watch the snowboard events; if it's not live on TV they have the feeds online.
You should have a webcast option available to you.
I think some people just have some primal instinct while going hard while tripping that causes strong urges to take their clothes off.... Maybe it has to do with a feeling of complete freedom or something.
:D That's Me! If I'm fully rolling, it's warm, and I'm on my own often I get in my birthday suit. Either clothed or not I always end up sprawled on the floor. If I'm at a warm bonfire around close friends I give them the courtesy and stop at my underpants. :D You hit the nail on the head; when I reach a certain state I just feel so free, and I can't explain it; taking clothes off just feels like the right thing to do.
Sounds like a good time for sure. Pretty much everyone who posts in this thread seems like genuinely good people!
No kidding eh? I wish we lived closer to each other. I only get to see BLers when crossing the continent, no one where I live is on here. If any of you are in the path of my travels I really would like to hit you up, and vice versa.
no, lol
i'm sure i would be better off if i did, though. i'm in dire need of some ego softening. i've been meaning to eat some acid and have a good trip for a while now, it just never seems like the time is quite right.
I get this all the time with the traditional psychs. I really do think that part of my life is behind me. The state just doesn't feel conducive or compatible with my now adult life, and the societal obligations and interactions required of me.
What need for ego softening that still lingers with me in a way I see it continuing for the long haul; is an MDMA experience when it feels right. For the last while it always seems to feel right about once a year. Maybe every second year or every six months; but certainly not frequently. It brings me back to center, brings all the things I've unconsciously been suppressing to the fore, and in the end, feels fantastic.

Traditional psychs take me to far out for what feels healthy for my mind. It sort of feels like because I've gone there before, repeated experiences are not needed anymore, and more strongly; feel like something I should not keep going back to because they separate me too far from the 'normal' world in which my family and friends live.
MDMA feels like the perfect psychedelic for long term use that isn't socially isolating afterwards. Every once in a while when camping with friends around a fire I'll dose 15mg of 2C-B about 45 mins before the MDMA for that little extra wildness.
Roger has always been an adult trapped in a younger persons body in my opinion.
Yeah, Rog is wise and level headed beyond his years. I've felt this even when he was 7 years younger!
My previous thoughts of being wise beyond my years really were only because the people I was around were wise
under their years.

I'll seem logical and sensible, but then the pepper side comes out and I'll get all impulsive and crazy and my reputation takes a smash. It seems to be a cycle; cool, cool, smart, cool, WTF!!!???, cool, cool...
i'm watching this documentary i recorded on cnn called "blackfish" about sea world and how fucked up it is. whales aren't supposed to be held in captivity like that
Hey I saw that too. It's definitely outlived it's usefulness in educating people in the 50s who had no perspective on biodiversity and the consequences of irresponsible industry.
I knew animals kept in captivity got really lonely and depressed, but what really hurt was watching how they still catch them in the wild and violently separate them from their families.
had a glass, got a nice little buzz, and then stopped drinking. success.
Awesome dude

Moderate drinking is so much more fun in the long haul. It's cheaper, it can be done on a night you have to get up the next day, it's just a nice way to relax if you can leave it at that.
(Patrick Chan still might take the gold though, good luck Canada).
Nope, another measly silver.

Seems to be the Canadian male figure skater's curse. You can win consecutive world championships, but you'll only ever get olympic silver.
Congrats on your guys' wins in the other stuff though. I don't think I've ever seen a podium filled by people all from the same country. You've got more medals that us, but we're above and in 3rd in standings because we have more silvers. Four countries with 4 gold though, Germany has less total but are way ahead with 7 gold.
We have four seasons, some people enjoy winter (I think they do winter sports or have winter hobbies or something). Spring is cool but there is slush/sleet (whats the difference? had to check from dictionary that word) so its shit but you know that summer is coming and its getting lighter and warmer every day so its ok i think. Summer is the best ofc but I don't mind autumn, temperatures are still ok for me at least, starry sky looks amazing when its so dark you cant see in front of you especially when im out of nowhere in my summer cottage. 4 seasons are pretty cool after all I think but im still pretty jealous of your warm climates
Another 4 seasoner

I haven't really done much in the way of winter sports yet this year, but I very much like to have the
option. One thing I think that's cool about your situation at those latitudes is
aurora borealis. I've never seen it; I'm going to travel up north sometime to strike it off my bucket list. The flip side is the summer. I think it'd be really cool to just see the sun do near the horizon but never set. That'd be fun to camp and party in; just have to make sure you sleep. :8
Do people have "summer cottages" there? In Finland its super common thing and everyone who can afford it has them, they go there when they have summer holidays to relax.
Most people who have been fortunate and worked their whole lives have them. It seems to be a thing where only the grandparents own cottages. To go to the cottage means to go visit the grandparents in the summer. Here you can get a little plot with a small cottage on near a lake in the boonies for about 50k. To have one right on the water is a bit more, but not crazy. The thing is that the property is small and the structure is inexpensively built; they often have a woodstove in them, but generally they're not something you could feasibly live in all winter.
We don't have a cottage because where we live is generally where other people have cottages. Lots of people live here year round, and it's where I grew up, but the local population approximately doubles in the summer.
This rural life has a downside in the winter though; it's work to keep the driveway clear. This year especially; this is actually the most I can remember ever having. I thought we got that 3 years ago, but this is more. I was actually saying how much I loved winter in this thread a few days ago; well I'm willing to review that a bit

Today I spent all day clearing the driveway and a path to my uncle's house, and there's more to do tomorrow. We have oil as primary home heating when we're away to keep pipes from freezing or drywall cracking, but when we're home to save money we burn wood. Well, currently our woodpile is totally inaccessible, even with a full size 4x4 farm tractor. In the past the tractor is what was used when ATVs or a truck couldn't make it, but this year even that can't get through the drifts. We have enough wood for a couple days in the house, but tomorrow I'm going to have to go on a marathon snow clearing mission to get to the main pile.
After the 4 hours of clearing the driveway (the land of the 150 meter driveway) my uncle invited me over for a couple drinks and they must have been triples; they sure tasted like it and I'm pretty friggin buzzed :D
Here, I made a map of my conception of the US, not my academic understanding, but this is reality to me and probably most people down here:
LOL, in FL I'd put "Where the rest of America goes to die". :D
I wouldn't say that about New York though. Maybe NYC (I've never been there though). The rest of NY especially right across the border, people are really easy going and nice. If it weren't for the different license plates and mono-coloured money I wouldn't be able to tell that I left Ontario.
So whats the best state to live in the states?
As for feel as a Canadian whose been all over the east I would choose either New Hampsire or Vermont. Super nice people, amazing scenery and mountains; world class ski hills. I think Vermont has bigger hills, and New Hampshire has the best license plate slogan ever; "Live Free or Die" :D
I haven't been out west (in America anyway); I'd love Colorado or Northern California for the mountains and ski hills. I think I'm not hardcore left-wing enough for the rest of the pacific coast though. I'd feel like Michael Moore when he went to order coffee.
