^ Yeah, actually I'd love to go, but it's a fairly good drive from where I live, and I sadly don't have my license yet. :\
 
Roger, chemistry aint easy, but it can be very rewarding. Grades don't matter much in the long run, depending on what you want to do afterwards. Actually doing chemistry can be very disheartening, because things that should work don't and there are so many variables that are hard to control, and many times its near impossible to figure out what is actually going on (Being a mechanistic chemist is pretty brutal).
 
Yeah, that was an amazing interview! Thanks for sharing. Seeing people talk about advanced sound manipulation and audio programming tickles a certain spot for me -- although I can't say I'm anywhere near Squarepusher's level, I've programmed some pretty sweet patches in Reaktor, and I've spent a lot of time experimenting with various combinations of Reason's modules too. Twiddling knobs and pushing buttons in order to make cool digital sounds is one of the most fun things in the world. As is simply sitting at a piano and making it ooooze its rich, warm, complex, organic tonalities in the most soulful ways. :)

No prollem, yeah I share the same love for wacked-out sound design. I haven't even scratched the surface of what's possible in Ableton Suite, I feel like I don't even deserve to have this piece of alien technology at my fingertips :l It's hard to remain objective and keep hacking away when you hear stuff like that, sounds which I've only heard in DMT trips and far away voyages into the K-hole. The hardest part is bringing something back that's synthetic and organic, and which is possible to be crafted into music that people will remember and appreciate.

I used to have a secret fantasy of being a chemist, but I could never hang with it and all the complex math that it involved. It's hard, hard stuff, makes reading Wittgenstein and Heidegger seem like light work intellectually. But think about it, at the level you're at, even failing is more than 90% of us here could accomplish. I failed a philosophy of religion and a philosophy of mind class, and didn't even show up to a 21st century philosophy class (that's how post-post-modern I was ;) and even though my parents were pissed, and I was frustrated... I still probably learned more from doing that than the kids who passed, it was just a more difficult life lesson that only makes sense to me subjectively.
 
The problem with using a drug to keep on living is that when you need to take a break from said drug, the hope and optimism you've been carefully cultivating tend to crumble and leave you back where you were before you started.

You know, if I asked for all the rest of my money which I'm having held for me, I'd still have enough to go where I wanted and go through with things. If I wait much longer that opportunity will be gone, and then if this attempt at improving things goes awry I'd have to end things here...and I'd much rather make it back there so that the things I see when my eyes are open are the same as the ones I see when they're closed. But I've kind of committed to living more I guess, just gotta hold out till I get more H to get some emotional fulfillment or whatever. This shit is way too expensive though, I'm severely limiting the time I have to work with with such a pricey emotional-stability plan, but if I didn't need it, then I guess I'd be in a state where sustaining myself wouldn't be an issue.

This is a story of a broken man,
...............................................G..............Em
there's far too many details but I'll tell you all I can.
....Am.......Em.........D..................Em
He lost his way on a long forgotten road,
..........G.......D...........Em
and he met a charming toad.


This is where the story really starts to get surreal.
The toad's hypnotic power made him question what is real.
He smiled back and said 'show me the world',
and it's oily tongue unfurled.


He was thrown into a no-mans land, but he felt no fear.
Glowing orbs benevolently whispered in his ear:
'We can see, you're a very troubled soul,
who resides in a vacuous hole'.


And then we lose him for a while...


Later he awoke beside a gently babbling stream.
He felt himself a new man, he even dared to dream.
He never remembered the wonders he was shown,
but the seeds of a new hope were sown.

Am Em D Em G D7 E


Just knocked this together last night on my acoustic. It's quike folky, thought some here might appreciate the lyrics.
 
Nice one Splitz I really like it.

Heading to Germany for Oktoberfest today, leaving in 2 hours. Debating whether to mix some 2C-E into my water, since it's a 15 hour journey..
 
Yeah Splitz, cool stuff. I'd love to hear you sing along to the chords! Something tells me there was some psychedelic influence in the lyrics? ;)



I've been making really exciting progress in this particular style of meditation I've been practicing lately. The states of consciousness that I'm approaching remind me of being a child, reveling in a pure and innocent fascination with something, like the mindblowing ideas and mental imagery sewn by some of the first science fiction novels I had ever read, or the novelty of the first fireworks show I ever attended. Also, I am reminded very much of LSD. This drug gave me a tool without which I could never have reached this purity of consciousness and being.

I was listening to Shpongle's "The God Particle - EP" during meditation this evening. That's such a cool track... it's so incredibly psychedelic, in a DMT-flash-like way. Actually, the first time I listened to it was while coming up on Ayahuasca, which, contrary to common sense, doesn't really work well with music for myself and quite a few other people apparently. So instead of being an enjoyable experience, it was like a demon trying to engulf me, and for twenty minutes I had to battle Shpongle's EP as if I were resisting the tremendous force of a black hole trying to suck me into sheer chaos and madness. LOL. So tonight was the first time I really got to savor and enjoy the music.
 
Aye, I suppose it's not too discreet either. I have a good couple hundred of songs from a few years of writing, in various styles. Inevitably, they sometimes end up being about drugs, sometimes psychedelics (I write about many aspects of my life, and drugs are obviously a part of it). My references to drugs can be anything from blatant to unnoticable.

It's best though when there is at least some ambiguity, like the song above can be a metaphor for any mystical experience and it would make sense. I have no idea where the toad came from. Thanks for the feedback though guys, much appreciated.

AppleCore, meditation is something I've always been interested in. I've tried the sort where you concentrate on your breathing, but I find it very difficult to clear my mind. Once I managed it for a few minutes, and then a huge wave of energy buzzed through my whole body, which made me go 'whoa!'. It was startling enough to throw me out of the meditative headspace, but it was really cool. Does anybody know the cause of this phenomena?
 
What a nice morning. Some espresso, heroin and modest mouse :) Gotsta work in 4 hours but I only work a half day :)

Lol any of you guys ever banged up crystal? Or used it any other way really. I wanna know how long after dosing does it stop being "fun" and starts being over-stimmy. I'm thinking of coppin' some glass and a sizeable amount of benzos for the comedown. :D Part hard haha...

20mg of MXE insufflated on the tail end of some amps taken for work, with the pretty lights song I linked last night, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6T5depSysg , is making me grin like a fool.

So far low dose MXE feels absolutely nothing like ketamine. Not that was expecting it to be extremely similar, just thought it would feel a little closer to it than what I'm experiencing. Also not a bad thing.
 
I'm still waiting on my mxe uhhh; I plan on starting out with a low dose 15-20 mgs to get a feel of it. So far ketamine and nitrouse are the only disasociatives I have done.
 
Yeh, its really not much like K at all, especially if you are familiar with dissociatives, 20mg wont be anything ground breaking but it will be a fun time IME.
It wont be till you get to higher doses that its dissociative characteristics come out. But even then its different than a k-hole due to how lucid you are during the trip.
I wish i could join you in the head space right now but mine is in transit, i buckled and ordered 3 more grams before i told myself i would :\

Be well Cloudy.

Also isnt it time for a new social like 3000 posts ago?
 
Does anybody know the cause of this phenomena?

I don't think so. Maybe during meditation you can actually alter your neurochemistry, like a natural intoxication, which would explain odd phenomena like that?



I'd love to try either MXE or Ketamine. I absolutely adore DXM and nitrous, so I'm sure they'd be the cat's pajamas. I'd rather start with ketamine though, being that it's been around for a lot longer, and we are more certain of its safety profile.
