btw xorkoth do you play the harmonica? I bought one today after messing around with a borrowed one for a couple of weeks. lovely instrument and I like the fact that it is so transportable... basically the complete opposite to my way of making (electronic) music. :)
 
Nope, I mean I have played them but I'm no good. I own one though. We've got a guy in my friend's band who is playing in our project now too, who plays harmonica with a huge pedal board of nearly limitless effects. He fills the role of an organ and a synthesizer with it, plus he does harmonica solos sometimes. It's so cool. :)
 
nice, do you have any video or something where I can see how he plays the harmonica through his effect rig? since I am already into electronic music, I of course have been thinking about stuff like that. hell, I even wonder if I could use it for Trance :D
 
would be dope :)

damn, I have to work tomorrow morning (almost 1 am now), but I am not tired at all... too much negative stuff going through my head (family issues), no weed, and allthough the amount of kratom I have loaded in the course of the evening has helped me stay calm, it doesn't make me tired. :<

lol just checked my work schedule and I only have to work in the afternoon... well that's good I guess
 
Xorkoth, crazy stuff. I don't understand the way things are going these days... people seem to be more divided and hateful than ever before. Everyone sees in black and white all of a sudden, it seems. I don't know what brought this on... honestly, I think the planet is overpopulated, and because of technology, now everyone can know about everyone else in the world... and it makes them frightened. Humans inherently fear that which is different... at least prior to the 20th century, people didn't really know much about what was going on outside their little town; now people know just what's going on in Cairo, or Boston, or Baghdad, and it frightens the crap out of them so they lash out.

At least, that's my theory.

Three days ago I met this Greek girl and I really like her, it seems like she likes me too. I already miss her...

I love Greek mythology, all the Gods and stuff. They even have four different words for love.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_words_for_love

The term erotic is derived from eros. Eros has also been used in philosophy and psychology in a much wider sense, almost as an equivalent to "life energy".

In the classical world, erotic love was generally referred to as a kind of madness or theia mania ("madness from the gods"). This love passion was described through an elaborate metaphoric and mythological schema involving "love's arrows" or "love darts", the source of which was often the personified figure of Eros (or his Latin counterpart, Cupid), or another deity (such as Rumor). At times the source of the arrows was said to be the image of the beautiful love object itself. If these arrows were to arrive at the lover's eyes, they would then travel to and 'pierce' or 'wound' his or her heart and overwhelm him/her with desire and longing (love sickness). The image of the "arrow's wound" was sometimes used to create oxymorons and rhetorical antithesis concerning its pleasure and pain.

I once knew a Greek girl. She was probably one of the biggest heart breaks I endured. Bummer man... I still dream of her from time to time. I remember when she would get a tan, she'd turn a literal color of orange. Strange stuff. Gosh how I liked her.

That's an interesting theory, and you might be on to something. But I think the two-party system has been utterly hijacked. They're purposely working people up with hot-button issues and creating a wedge between the two sides. I have to believe it's for the purpose of more easily controlling their interests; everyone is too frothing mad over immigration, or transgender bathrooms, or abortion, or whatever to notice what's happening or god forbid vote on anything or have any opinion counter to what your party is supposed to do. Part of that is creating a sense of resentment/hostility towards the "opposing" side. It's gotten really, really ugly. They've been working on this for a long time and it's going to come to a head at some point. Ugly stuff going on and extraordinarily damaging to our country.
 
Thuis is not the first time I have had to shake my head and say this in just the last week- so much injustice, so much hypocrisy, so much misunderstanding, so much fear. Xorkoth's friend's story is just one more incident to add on the pile of many personal events in my life as well as many additional incidents witnessed through the Internet.
Hold that peace guys, keep the mind and eyes openl- abilities I've noticed psychonauts tend to be very good at, so lets try to leverage it to share light with others. With that said it is also important to stay grounded right now, to be *rational* psychonauts. Too much of the world is not that right now, and I know I don't want to be part of the problem.
 
Interesting and disturbing tale xorkoth. PC bullshit is bullshit. I hate that we supress truth now for fear of offending people. Personally, I think being offended is a choice.

We need to bring down the government.
 
I don't know what needs to happen. I want to believe that we have the ability to rise up out of this, but it's the same cycle repeating over and over again. A lot of people want to be told what to think, and a few people really want to have power over others. It's the logical course for it to take. The only thing that will stop it is if we can get rid of that aspect of human nature somehow. I mean, you and I, and probably anyone who might reply to this, we just want to live our lives, personally I'd love it if we could all get along, not sure why we shouldn't be able to since we're all humans and want the same basic things out of life, like love, happiness, safety, fulfillment, and so on. But there are some people who want something else. The most common form it takes is greed for material wealth. Everyone wants to be comfortable, to be able to support themselves and their people. But some people want more, no matter how much they have. They'll do whatever it takes, they may even make decisions that hurt other people to get it. They might even topple economies, start wars, or drum up one half of the people against the other, twisting something in their nature against one another, so they can be richer and more influential. It's really about the power. Some people want power over everyone else. I don't get it, but it's there, and if it wasn't this group of sociopaths, it would be another.

I try really hard to believe that this can change. I really hope it does.
 
Yeah me too. It's hard to believe it could keep going on. I want to believe people are becoming more self aware but it's like you said, many people don't want to have to think! Life seems like it'll just keep on the downward spiral but I can't keep believing that because I don't want to exist in that sort of world...

Thanks for the support guys! I could defintely use it!<3
 
still awake at 430am ^^

I've been nodding a bit watching mad men though ;)

I've been watching that lately. Good show, interesting social analyses.

As for harmonica; i play a bit.
I made an amazing investment a few years ago - i found a 1950s harmonica microphone on ebay going pretty cheap.

It's a 50's Shure harmonica mic, think it's the same model as this (but you can buy newer equivalents that aren't practically antiques)

It gives it the most beautiful grinding blues sound - it sounds like Junior Wells' harp playing or something.
I'm not one for effect pedals, but damn, i can get some great tones just plugging this little mic into my guitar amp and wailing away.

hey spacejunk :)

cool find, that mic! well I am still only learning the basics, but the book I bought along with my harmonica is definitely helpful. do you have any tips regarding technique, and maybe even easy songs to learn? I have a Hohner Marine Band C major.

on a sidenote, I have been loading kratom 24/7 the past couple of days, mainly because I have a pretty bad family crisis right now and don't know how else to stay calm. I cannot say anything specific here, but my sister and I found out that my mother is fucking up bigtime and basically risking a lot of things for nothing. maybe it's a midlife crisis or something, paired with a manipulative boyfriend. there will be an intervention, and I am already sick thinking about it.

now it's almost 8am, I have hardly slept at all and I need to go to work.

fuck me
 
Oh man.
So many people going through such hard times right now.

I hope she is ok man; take care of yourself.

Much love to all you beautiful trippers <3
 
who knows if she is okay... she's that kind of person who never learned to open up. I seriously have no idea what's going on in her head. I still love her though, but right now she is behaving like she doesn't care about her children. we both are still students, and especially my sister is still a bit financially dependent upon her, so this makes it even more complicated. maybe I shoot you a PM later today, for your opinion, because it really isn't something to discuss in public.

I hope we can see her tomorrow or the day after for some real talk.
