Still feeling a bit tired today... this weekend really took it out of me.

I'm pretty excited, tomorrow my bass player and I are going to get together and jam. Our band has been on hiatus for quite some time, but lately I feel like the universe has been telling me that we need to start playing again.

I recently joined my friends' band as a hand drummer (for now... I'm slowly learning the guitar and I also sing but they have a lead singer already so I'm backup). It's been awesome, I have a djembe and when I can I'm getting congas too. I may jam with them this evening, we'll see. I'm not always at the jams because hand drumming is auxillary percussion and their set drummer is nice but I think he isn't too keen on sharing percussion, that's my feeling about it. But there's this other set drummer some of them have started playing with who plays great with me and loves the extra rhythms, and gives me a lot of opportunities to come through the much louder set sounds so we'll see where that goes (the main set player plays kind of boring and constantly so you can't hear me much through it, he keeps a good beat but doesn't do anything interesting, but this new drummer is constantly interesting to listen to, he rarely plays exactly the same thing twice even though he keeps a steady beat). The bass player and one of the guitar players are some of my best friends in town... the bass player is amazing and he built his own bass recently that sounds SICK. He and I have been tripping together a lot this summer/fall and we have this mind-meld going on when we play. When we tripped on T-7 on Saturday, we jammed SO HARD, it was seriously mindblowing. The guitar player used his loop pedal to build a complex base rhythm and then soloed over it... it was some of the most psychedelic music I've ever heard, let alone participated in. Everyone listening was freaking out, as were we. Unfortunately we didn't record it, I really wish we had though.

Well then, I gotta ask whether you've seen my less known (only fan translations into English) candidate for any best anime list, and my favorite space opera, Legend of the Galactic Heroes? It features an unreasonably large cast of well written characters, where you can't help but root for both sides of the 110 episode war (not to mention such instances as the good guys attempting a coup against the good guys on the same side). It poses interesting questions to the audience, with a conflict that eventually centers around an enlightened autocracy fighting a corrupted democracy, and the short vs long-term moral implications of both forms of government.

I'm not too into animes but a really good friend of mine is and when we were like 18 we got super stoned and watched his favorite, Record of Lodoss War. Lately this bass player friend of mine wanted to watch animes with me and asked me for a suggestion and I managed to remember it, and we turned it on. Oh my god, it was so much cooler than I remembered it. The art and music are phenomenal, we commented that it looks like it belongs in a museum. Really good shit. There are 2 "seasons"... I think when you find it online the one you want is the second season but it's a bit confusing. They're two entirely separate stories/set of characters and the other one isn't nearly as good. Really good shit though. If you get the English over-dubbed one some of the translations are hilarous... the Japanese one with subtitles is better translated but it's kind of a pain to read subtitles because you just want to stare at all the watercolor-painted details.

It was hard while I'm still so scattered from the weekend, but I'm all packed and ready for Thailand tomorrow :D Goddamn am I excited

Nice man, that's exciting, I'd love to see Thailand. Have fun!

 

[theacidtest]

I quite enjoyed the first few things your band recorded and you posted on youtube Xork. Hopefully they end up going with the drummer who's willing to share the spotlight and has a more creative flow.

 

[Dawglaw]

Trozzle - make sure you go to Koh Phi Phi. It is very laid back compared to the rest of Thailand, not to mention IMO the most beautiful place on Earth. The 19 year old french birds running around topless might help...

Also, Khao San Road in Bangkok is pretty much a given but GTFO of BKK as soon as possible. Do hit up the ping pong show - fucking hilarious. I can almost guarantee you that there will be a group of 5-6 20 year old Brits that are drunk as hell that dare one of their buddies to get on stage and participate in some of the craziest shit I have ever seen.

Make sure you hit up Vang Vieng in Laos. There are no laws there regarding partying and the river floats are legendary.

After I took the bar exam, I flew to Vietnam and bought a shitty honda 125cc motorcycle and romped around Nam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand for three months. Craziest adventure of my life. My dad, a USMC Vietnam veteran, saw my posts on facebook and joined up with me for the Vietnam portion of my trip. We rode from Saigon up to Hanoi via the Ho Chi Minh trail. It was very cathartic for him to go back after his terrible experience 40 years ago. We even found a old American dog tag at Khe Sahn, where my dad was stationed, that we are trying to reunite with its owner back home.

All and all, have a fucking blast. SE Asia is so much fun but it is changing so rapidly. By the time our kids get around to traveling, it won't be how it is now.

Random Fact: the area of land devoted to growing corn in the U.S. is approximately the size of Germany.

Record of Lodoss War

I've heard good things about it, though I have not seen it. The only things I've kept up with the last couple years are series/franchises that I'm already invested in, and the works of my favorite director, Masaaki Yuasa.

it's kind of a pain to read subtitles because you just want to stare at all the watercolor-painted details.

As far as keeping up with subtitles while appreciating art goes, this is the only show I had problems with, it is by the aforementioned director. It won't even take a minute for you to get an idea what I'm talking about.

Pretty much nothing lol. Not keen to wind up in Thai jail for having a joint

Yeah, I've heard that they've really cracked down over the past decade or so, as their economic situation improved and their nation gained prestige (recent dysfunction and military coup notwithstanding). Cambodia, on the other hand....

Your travels ought to offer plenty of fabulous experiences, drugs or no. May you find fun and fulfillment.

Always a good time hanging out with samadhi_smiles... glad you're sticking around for a while buddy.

Yea Cambodia has gotten more lax on users and are mainly concerned with exporting. Cambodia is pretty high on the list of new travel destinations, it's a very beautiful country.

 

[pharmakos]

dosed that 50mg capsule of MXP 4.5 hours ago. barely any effect for me, probably due to my perennial dissociative tolerance. going to double the dose sometime in the next week probably.

 

[Help?!?!]

^I told ya, but Why listen to a guy named Help....! Anyways have fun in Tland, I got it caused with another Asian country and where you could go and get some great OTC goodies! Also coming up on 450mgs of pregabalin! Hip hop hooray! Feeling dat love my brothers!

 

[SONN]

you should go to the temple of chiang rai while you're in thailand

 

[Dondante]

Or hop over to Bagan, Burma. I'm hoping to spend a couple months in the region next summer.

[Xorkoth]

Wow, those temple photos are incredible! Especially the first one.

I could go for some pregabalin today. Feeling a little sketched this morning from MXE and alcohol last night. I'm gonna resist taking phenibut even though it occurred to me. I'll go work out in a bit instead on my lunch break.

Lots of work to do today/the rest of the week... but the good news is that tomorrow is Creature Carnival! Halloween celebrations!

 

[Help?!?!]

Don't worry about it to much, brother! I'm starting to eat only healthy!! I'm starting to work out too since I've finally able too! I've got to get healthy again! Even in high school I was about 260ish but my cavles were crazy! Every girl thought it was as super sexy.! Could've bicycle kick someone if I wanted to, I'm increadinly flexeible. I recommend trying out some Yoga man, totally zen, increases your flexeibiy, meditation sort of stuff! Don't worry if your not flexeible now, the instructor will guide you through it. Real intense work out too. Different from weights and stuff but...

About to IM some a DOC, MXE, O-DT. Super excited for it, first opi experience in years!!
Love ys my brothers!

 

[Dawglaw]

I cannot wait for Friday. First candyflip ever (150ug al-lad and 100mg of fire mdma) at a huge indoor rave.

I need to get back on the exercise train. I was so good this summer about hiking 2-3x a week but my new job has me exhausted at the end of the day. After work all I want to do is grab a beer and relax.

 

[Xorkoth]

Yeah I'm really into exercising these days, I go to the gym 3 days on/1 day off, and I try to hike on the off days. Also I have been doing cool outdoor stuff like rock climbing and river hiking (hiking in a river across the rocks) so I've gotten in great shape. It feels so good.

Creature Carnival tomorrow, bought my ticket today so it's official! Gonna meet up beforehand for face painting/pre-party, and I'm taking DOC and MXE later at the show. I'll probably take the DOC at like 1 in the afternoon.

 

[Dawglaw]

Nice. Have a blast. I have yet to try DOC. I am just breaking into the RCs and other psychs as MDMA is losing its novelty/magic.

Going through a very experimental phase right now. I have a great job, great friends, not too many responisbilites and my life is really on track so I feel its prime (responsible) experimentation time.

I have 5g of mxe supposedly on its way. Had no idea the dosages when I bought it. Looks like I went big haha.

 

[SONN]

Dude the creature carnival is so beautiful and awesome I know you'll enjoy it xork.

make sure you have a lot of energy that day because it's seriously that awesome of a show that I regret not preparing my body more for it.

also Dawglaw while responsible experimentation is entirely possible with MXE and I know quite a few people who think its a really spiritual substance, be careful because the tolerance really sneaks up on you and there are lots of people who really can't put the stuff down.

 

[Cream Gravy?]

^Indeed, it is a hard to kick habit. I'm a week sober from mxe and I frequently think I'd like to be doing it. But I need a break, and I think I'm finally gonna force one.

Yayyy, Creature Carnival! I just put on a Beats Antique playlist for some warm fuzzy memories of / flashbacks to that show. Have a great time!

 

[Help?!?!]

Lucky bastards! I unfortunately haven't been to a feast for four years ago!

Holy shit I'm nodding hard, and the other chenicals are just adding to it! I think I'm having mind movies! the CEVs are amazing!

Seriously, though Xorky, try yoga it will do wonders for you, and get you real strong In no time! Just by the huge, gun like musclee��!
