CHARLENE's MAH RIFLE I TELL YOU h'WUT
was it charlene or darlene?

I think it was charlene.

In the book, that end of boot camp scene is so evilly psychedelic:

"I hold by weapon at port arms, gently, as though she were a holy relic, a magic wand wrought with interlocking pieces of silver and iron, with a teakwood stock, golden bullets, a crystal bolt, jewels to sight with. My weapon obeys me. I'll hold Vanessa, my rifle. I'll hold her. I'll just hold her for a little while. I will hide in this dark dream for as long as I can.
Blood pours out of the barrel of my rifle and flows up on to my hands. The blood moves. The blood breaks up into living fragments. Each fragment is a spider. Millions and millions of tiny red spiders of blood are crawling up my arms, across my face, into my mouth..." -The Short-Timers by Gustav Hasford
 
^^Yes pi was great I agree. Has anyone ever seen the film Stalker? It is foreign but fantastic!
I think Shambles has recommended it before. I really love it -- probably my favorite of Tarkovsky's -- but be forewarned it's a heavily contemplative film that's libel to piss off your friends if you make them watch it.

Another darkly carnal passage from Hasford's novel:

Humping in the rain forest is like climbing a stairway of shit in an enormous green room constructed by ogres for the confinement of monster plants. Birth and death are endless processes here, with new life feeding on the decaying remains of the old. The black earth is cool and damp and the oversized greenery is beaded with moisture, yet the air is thick and hot because the triple canopy holds in the humidity. The canopy of interwoven branches is so thick that sunlight filters through only in pale, infrequent shafts like those in Sunday-school pictures of Jesus talking to God.

Beneath mountains like the black teeth of dragons we hump. We hump on a woodcutter's trail, up slopes of peanut butter, over moss-blemished boulders, into God's green furnace, into the hostile terrain of Indian country.

I haven't even read the book, but there's something about the unsettling, graphic prose that makes the words sink in.

Rog, I remember you posting this quote in the past.
 
In case anyone is interested, Jonsi of Sigur Ros is playing a show in L.A. tonight, and it is being video broadcast live here. This is a first for NPR...should be interesting. It starts in 15 minutes.

Great month in music...just got back from a Vampire Weekend show, now this, then two more shows in the next two weeks. I'm disappointed I can't make it to Moogfest, but I still get a piece of it since Caribou is coming here for Halloween.

:)
 
I need to get some mo movies, it's been a long-ass time since I was entranced by a cinematic masterpiece. I've never even watched a movie while tripping, can you believe that? I'm the type that's more likely to imagine whole my life as an elaborate movie or some shit... Maybe tripping to a good flick would correct that feeling.
 
Sigur Rós framleiðir himneska hljóð sem hafa leiðbeint mér með nokkrum af flestum ótrúleg reynslu af öllu lífi mínu.

RIP Mandelbrot. Very brilliant man indeed. For some reason I think psychedelic art just wouldnt have been the same without him. :)

I need some movie suggestions guys. I've been catching up on classics I'd never seen before this week by watching one every night. So far this week I've seen 1984, Shawshank, A Clockwork Orange and Citizen Kane. All for the very first time. :)

Any suggestions for tonight?

Forrest Gump?

:)
 
It's comforting to hear about other people that are experiencing the same thing and are doing good. I'll tell you what just the last few days on the med's and I feel a whole bunch better. It has even allowed me to talk to and open up with my loved ones, which is been helpful. I've spent years exploring myself and it feels as if it's now time to venture back out into the world. Get a taste of the clean air and a new sense for my surroundings.

Change can be hard, But it's most often for the best.

*edit*

Charlie you are so awesome dude <3

I'm really happy to see you're doing well, just make sure (I know you are but i feel the need to say it)- you are very careful with the benzos, ~80+ percent of the stuff I've read about benzos have been bad, in a lot of cases very bad. I know you probably realize this as well but I just really hope this doesn't somehow turn out bad.

Much love brother. :)<3
