ok i read the guidleines but im just giong to try and flow with this... forgive me if i leave out certain details but this happened on january 9th and its not like i was sober!
i was 2 1/2 weeks into my monthlong vacation in thailand and i found myself on the island of koh samui. having read articles in a magazine some months earlier i was quite interseted in the upcoming full moon party on koh pagnang. i was there with my buddy eric who was partying hard with me the whole trip. eric had only taken x maybe ten times his whole life including the 4 times we had rolled on vacation, i on the other hand have taken x lots of times, i couldnt put a number on it but its been alot.
we had scored some blue skies and some k too. i had tried k twice in thailand but being super careful as to how much i took i hadnt felt a thing either time
anywho we took our sppedboat ride to koh pagnang and arrived at about 9 pm we surveyed the mile long beach and the tens of thousnads of people there and decided to try and score some shroom shakes from this wicked bar on a cliff at the end of the beach. it was fairly simple, we went to the second floor and asked the bartender for 2 shroom shakes. 10 bucks, nice price i think. while the real fruit juice and chunks of strawberries helped take the gag factor down a notch the shrooms still tasted like crap (and im sure they always will). we washed down our first pill along with the shakes.
about 20 minutes later we decided to split up and go exploring, one of my favorite activites while rolling. i started blowing up hard. this was my second expeience with blue skies and i was not dissapointed. good clean rolls a bit on the speedy side, just how i like em. there were maybe 20 bars all on the beach and it was amazing. everything was lit by blacklights and there were vendors everywhere selling those little glowing bracelets. unfortunately noone was selling regular glowsticks, and i only had one left from my personal stash that i had brought with me.
i sat down and watched some guy that had flaming balls on the ends of chains. pretty impressive. this candy kid sits down next to me and asks me for a ciggarette. can this be?! "are you from america?" i ask him. he says he is and tells me his name is chin and hes from san fran. i tell him im from florida and we start asking each other questions. turns out hes here with 3 other friends on vacation. i tell him im a marine and im on leave. he asks if im rolling. i tell him i am, and he is too.
so he asks me if i want to meet his friends and we go over about 1/2 a mile and find them. on the way there i pop a second blue sky and chew it up. those are the hardest pills ive ever had. i mean cement hard but theyre good and i wanted my roll to just explode so i bit down and tasted the icky taste of fun.
when we finally arrived at his friends spot i was overjoyed to meet them they didnt roll anymore because they were taking a break from it but they were cool with me. they also had 2 backpacks worth of glowsticks! whooooo hoooooooooo. i sat down and got a light show from one of them. i asked if i could see some and proceded to get my groove on. i dont think im the best with glowsticks but i think im pretty good and i have a few little tricks. these guys were awesome totally different style but awesome nontheless. i seemed to be holding my own with them and we soon drew a small crowd of onlookers.
i decided to sit back and just chill for a minute. as soon as i laid back on the sand i jumped up and said holy shit! chin asked me what was wrong and i told him to look at the moon and tell me it wasnt the shrooms. it wasnt. there was a lunar eclipse going on right at that moment and it lasted for a long time. amazing ! i travel all the way to thailand and go to a full moon party and theres a lunar eclipse! i mean what are the odds of that?!
anywhoo im starting to feel my roll taper off a bit so i pop my last pill and go talk to one of the djs. hes from europe and i dont recall his name but he was spinning with cds, i told him i thought that was odd but that seemed to be the norm in asia as far as i have experienced. finally met back up with eric and he said he wanted to try the k.
so we went off the beach to a secluded litlle spot and set up two pretty big lines. eric did his first and dropped mine into the sand (bastard) o well he only had one pill. plus its not like i was down or anything, i was rolling balls again so i just gave him a hug and told him not to worry about it. we went out to the beach and eric decided to lay down and just chill. he said he was feeling really jacked up but it was good. i decided to keep an eye on him as i didnt understand what he was feeling and neither did he.
i talked alot to random people and the san fran crew was right next to us so i was having a really good time. i came to the understanding that, as good as this party was it was missing one thing, my friends in florida. i had noticed that while i was in thailand that everytime i rolled i felt all lonely. i hadnt really figured it out until that moment though. i finally understood that its not the rolling i like, but rolling with my close friends back home.
eric kept jumping up evertime fireworks went off and a couple people asked if he was ok . i told them to look at the huge grin on his face and figure it out for themselves(heheh). i met a girl named bree from australia who asked me if i remembered her. i told her i didnt and she explained to me that the other night in a club i had collapsed and she had helped me up. i gave her a big hug and had wondered who had helped me. that night i was completely sober and was dancing my ass off. i didnt know what happened but i think it may have had something to do with the fog machine because i couldnt breathe and i just fell over. i rememberd hearing a girls voice asking me if i was ok and the next thing i knew i was sitting at the bar with a big bottle of water being dumped on my head.
the night went on and eric finally came back to me and told me that he had been looking for me for hours. i told him he hadnt even stood up in hours but he insited (his words exactly) " the dude from house of pain picked me up and we walked up and down the beach forever man!" i called him a bitch and laughed my ass off.
the sun started to rise and we got back to our speed boat and just chilled the whole ride back. i ended up seeing bree again a couple of days later and i still talk to her through emails.
eric is in california for three months and i wonder if ill ever see him again. makes me kinda sad cause hes like the brother i never had and im leaving for north carolina the 7th of april. again i apologize if this seems more like a story than an exact recountance with milligrams and stuff but i just thought id give it a whirl. peace and hopefully ill see ya in florida in april!
