Hey all ya’ all,
Are you my tribe? Because I’ve been asking that question all my life. It seems like I never really fit in where ever I go, like I’m a little up tight about things, do you understand? I’ve had a lot of jobs and hung out with a lot of people but it always seems in the end that I’m a bit of a loner. Except, of course, when it comes to my wife. I’m extremely counter-cultural and I guess I just don’t get it. Mainstreams society’s values, that is. I mean the whole drive for money and power makes people so fakey and petty it seems to me. So I vote to turn on, tune in, and drop out. Except one has to earn a living so you cant completely drop out, can you. Anyway, I’m new kid on the block. I mostly do alcohol, have had periods of cocaine and meth use, but my true love is LSD. Always has been, always will I suppose. My wife is an artist, she does watercolor, and I’m a writer, poetry and memoir mostly, I’m also into altered states of consciousness with meditation and used to teach meditation and yoga. I live in Western Wisconsin about half an hour from the twin cities. We’ve got our first blizzard of the year going on here. Good to meet you,

Hi Danny, I think this is definitely a potential home for you. I felt very much like an outcast before joining this wonderful community as well. Some forums that might be of interest to you are Philosophy and Spirituality and Words. Out of curiosity, what kind of meditation are you into? I've been getting more and more into mindfulness over the past few years and it's done wonders for me.

I'm also in Wisconsin (Madison). I used to spend time in Hudson when I was younger. It's definitely a pretty area. I'm loving this snow too. We're not getting hit as hard as you though. Here's a pic I took earlier today of my kitty watching the snow. :)

Welcome to the forums. I think you'll find a lot of great people on here that can relate to your way of thinking. I can totally relate to the quest for monetary gain leading to more shallow individuals in a lot of cases.

One other forum that might have some interesting reading for you is Healthy Living. Even though it can be intimidating at first don't be afraid to get into the fray and start posting. There are tons of potentially great friends to be made.

Any questions at all, don't hesitate to PM.
 
Welcome to BL Danny. You seem like one of the gang already here on Bluelight lol.

Love the picture of your sweet kitty Spork. I loves kitties. :)
 
Hey Danny! Welcome :) The folks at BL are really wonderful. I know what you mean about looking for a tribe... maybe you'll find BL is your tribe, and maybe it will make you feel more comfortable to find others around you who "get it".

I used to spend time in Hudson when I was younger. It's definitely a pretty area.

Funny... that makes 3 of us familiar with that town. I grew up around that area, but live far from it now. Take care with all the snow!!
