Went to visit my girl last night... finally caught up on some sleep, I slept 11 hours and I still feel really sluggish this morning. Actually I didn't feel sluggish UNTIL this morning.
Feelings are growing, as is inevitable... I feel closer and closer to her. Kinda freaky for me since I don't really want a girlfriend. I don't have one technically but it feels increasingly that way. We have been seeing other/having sex since mid-September, it's actually been a while now. Thing is, I WANT to feel close to her like this, because it feels good to have that in my life. For now it's perfect because we're just enjoying what it is without defining it. I wonder how long that will be possible? Indefinitely for me (at least as far as I can see at this point), but is the same true for her? We shall see.
Maybe it wouldn't be so bad anyway, I don't think she has any desire to restrict me at all. She thinks it's great that I'm so busy and working so hard at music, she's never once tried to even apply slight pressure to me to hang out with her instead if I tell her I have other stuff to do. Even a couple of times we made plans before I knew I had band practice, and she was already hanging out at my house, she was totally fine with me leaving and just staying at my house til I came back and even if it was 8 hours later at 3am she was just happy to see me when I got back, no hint of resentment or anything, she just hung out with my cats and read books and slept til I got back. I think she'd actually make a great girlfriend. The only issue I have with her is that I sometimes think she's not exciting enough for me. It would be cool if she wanted to come do these things with me more often. Then again, she wants to trip on mushrooms with me soon.
Guess who has two thumbs and just received a tracking number for his AL-LAD
Hmm... is it celebrity chef Emeril Agasse? Come on bro, I'm not psychic!
My girlfriend of five years expressed to me that she thinks I use hallucinogens as a crutch. I'm beginning to realize that I use all drugs as a crutch. I can't imagine a reality void of drugs. Hell, I'm two days sober from pot, but in loo of smoking, I've cleared 5 beers and am probably about to drink a few more. Fuck. I'm beginning to realize I have serious issues in my life. I don't know how to face them. I've been listening to my favorite rap songs on repeat and all I want right now is to blaze down a fatty. I have a couple g's sittin in my stash... the internal conflict right now is heavy.
I'm the same way, or I have to really watch myself to avoid it. I guess I should say, deep down I'm that way and only self-control keeps it at bay. I'm sort of keeping it at bay now, I mean, I've been tripping a lot less than I used to but it has been weekly usually, and between psychedelics, weed, alcohol and MXE, I use something almost every day. Thing is, for me, it does feel like it's enriching my life still... weed is amazing for jamming (truly) and we always smoke if possible before jamming (and weed is my usual suspect, not the others). Psychedelics continue to provide useful and beautiful experiences that keep my inspiration and creativity flowing strongly. MXE provides a great tool for dancing at shows as well as connecting with my friends. Alcohol is fun, though I'd say of everything that one does the least to add anything to my life - I never do it unless my friends are, which is frequently, and then I think, hey that would be fun, I'll have some beers too. It's really the same pattern I have always had, when I'm in a really good place in my life and feeling excited about things I like to use drugs to further that. It's not that I'm not aware of it, it's that I'm not sure whether it's a bad thing. It certainly CAN be a bad thing, but is it, the way I'm doing it now? I'm not sure. My brain likes psychedelics more frequently than most. Tripping weekly has never seemed like it caused me any negatives, even when done for long periods of time. Tripping more than once weekly for periods of time does, but I'm not doing that nor do I want to. I will say I know I'm generally doing too much MXE, recently the magic reduced significantly, which is actually a nice self-limiting factor, the last couple of times I would have used it, I didn't want to, and didn't.
Drugs... they're a slippery slope. Gotta really watch your ass.
Anyone else fucking love Sumatran coffee? Fresh ground sumatra beans make for the best tasting coffee ever. It's dark but not ashey dark like french roast and has a bold herbal taste. Sheetz used to have a sumatran espresso that actually hurt my stomach like a hardcore stimulant. Twas the most effective coffee drink eva, no idea why they quit offering it.
I actually like French roast more than Sumatran. I like that dark, rich flavor, rather than light fruity flavors, in coffee. That's just me though.
