Are they at odds in you? Please see the urgency of finding a constitently positive direction on your soul compass so to speak. It is the only way forward that will leave us with the feeling that whatever happens, we have done our best. Completely despite things we might regret in the past. That would be about the sorriest thing to determine your compass' direction. Align your senses, see what it is you need, never mind what you may want... and go step by step. Over time that mindset pays off and reinforces itself.

^that is like the happiest mario song IMO. It's all ragtime-y and almost manic sounding to me.

why do you say that pharmakos? you know Otzi the Iceman was all tatted up right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ötzi#Skeletal_details_and_tattooing

I've recently rediscovered how ridiculous the stigma against research chemicals is. It's annoying how people are so quick to judge things they don't know about, and how few people actually care about researching the drugs they put in their body. People are already so quick to judge other peoples substance use/abuse so when you say you're doing some drug nobody knows about you get extra ostracized.

Thinking in terms of success, winning, and pleasure doesn't sit well with me. Nor does the message itself resonate, as a naturally sullen person, I've never been told that I should be more serious, but I have been told plenty that I should be more like the sorta person he is, so I get why he's bothered about being told to be different. I disagree with the sentiment that people should act one way or the other (not to mention the idea that being vivacious and happy is a choice), and say instead that we ought to represent ourselves as authentically as we can, and try to accept others as they are. I can see why you enjoy it though, you're a positive and good-natured fellow yourself, so stuff like this sits easy on your ears.

Leaving tomorrow early morning on my road trip with my girl... getting a bit nervous, not bad nervousness but she and my family are going to meet, it might be a bit of a culture shock for all involved (except me). She was raised by hippie parents in hippie communities, and my family is, well, full-on Chicago-area yuppies. I/we live a very different life here. But my family is really nice and I'm sure it'll go well. We're gonna have dinner with my sister Tuesday at her house... hang out with my parents tomorrow evening and probably most nights. We're going into Chicago to see museums such as the Field museum and some others during the days. Also we're going to go to Wisconsin next weekend, the only thing is I'm not sure if I can convince my mom to let us stay at the lake house, she's nervous because I've never closed it up myself for the winter. She had said I could go if my cousin went too but he can't. He told me it's really basic stuff though, mostly just shutting off the water. I mean I do that every year when I leave for the holidays here, for my own house. I guess we'll see. Maybe we can camp there one day so she can see it at the very least, we could canoe in the lake if the boat is up for the winter (which it probably is). And we can go to Lake Superior. She's excited to see some more of the north (nature-wise), our other option was to go to Maine but we decided to do Illinois/Wisconsin since then she could meet my family and see the places I grew up.

Anyway today I gotta get ready and go to bed early... get my tires rotated, clean my car out, pack, etc.

Yeah, I can appreciate that you value authenticity over anything else. To be more happy-go-lucky and less serious to me suggests authenticity, because it seems more natural for humans to be jovial, but that's just a matter of perspective.

Also, loving the haikus!

To me "happy-go-lucky and less serious" could be a negative (indicative of superficiality and lack of authenticity) or a positive (implying freedom and openness). I think the latter is a worthy goal and something adults (myself included) are generally not very good at.

There is a lesson to be learned from children. They have an innate openness to experience, which tends to be shut down over the years due to societal expectations and the development of habitual patterns of thinking and behaving. Psychedelics are useful for disrupting these patterns and getting me back in touch with the virtues of childhood - openness, wonder, curiosity, and the value of play.

Hope PD folks are well. I'm relieved to be a little bored for a change...felt like I was always on-the-go this summer, though lots of good backpacking trips and Burning Man experiences to look back on. Here's a photo from Kings Canyon.

p.s. Xor, hope meet the parents goes well! Seems like a great time of year for a visit to the midwest.

So, I feel like the shittiest of friends... I got really hammered last night and hung out with my best friend and his new girlfriend, and in my drunkenness I blabbed multiple times about doing psychedelics with him, of which he had yet to tell his girlfriend about. Obviously it's not great to hide stuff from people, but my friend isn't the type who trips much anyways, so by mentioning it I was putting him in a bad situation and forced him to talk to his girlfriend about it the next day. He said she seems indifferent about it, but in my experience, girlfriends dislike it when they find out you've been doing wild drugs like lsd, even if they say otherwise... I think I'm starting to have a problem with drinking, because a week ago I got blackout drunk and the same friend had to baby sit me essentially and I was a dick about it when I was blacked out... and here I went again, causing him trouble because I was too drunk and lost control of myself. It's a terrible realization and an even worse thing for me to have done to him, he didn't deserve that.

I just feel like a shitty ass person now. And I have no idea what to do about it now, other than trying to quit drinking, but that's a long term thing... I don't know how to make amends with my friend, he's my best buddy and I would hate to drive him away. In the mean time I think I'll just mope...

Honestly I think it might be best to be straight up with him -

"Bro, I really want to apologise for last night. I probably shouldn't be sharing things like that about you, regardless of whether I'd think it's a non-issue; it's something for you to share with your partner; not for me to blurt out in drunken stupor (which I would also like to apologise for...it's no excuse, and recently I've unintentionally pushed my developing-problem on others. I regret my recent drunkedness, and would like to say sorry for my behaviour).

I realise it's put you in an awkward position, and while it seems there may be no cause for concern, I still mentioned things I shouldn't have. I hope I haven't upset you as a result, and I'm certainly undertaking steps to ensure such things never occur again :)"

Or something :)
