I look back and wish i had started my ride a lot earlier than i did. Had a few test runs in my early twenties but didnt really get on board till my late twenties.

Same, actually. The problem with it is that you don't have enough time to sow the wild drug oats, so to speak.
 
The ride isn't over it just changes, must admit though these days mentally are way better than the old ones mixed with crazy relationships & drugs. This roller coaster is nice and slow now and doesnt change direction too often I am far happier now than I ever have been.

*wave to some old friends*

Congrats Muzby on being a Dad! :D that made me smile. xx
 
I'm with Mooshie here - the ride has changed considerably over the past few years. I don't indulge in anything anymore, and rarely drink. Still having a boatload of fun, though :) I definitely agree on the differing headspace nowadays; i'm stupidly happy with life and love, which to me, is the most important thing.

As for Muzby being a dad - his little girl is heart-breakingly cute <3
 
^i still have a photo of you, taken by wigga several years ago, in some toilet stall =D
 
Oh lordy, that was a HUGE, totally rock star night, at the Press Club, just before he left for Canada-land. I still haven't seen those photos - am i wearing Mr Sparkle underwear? :D He gifted me with a pair that night, the thoughtful bloke <3 =D
 
oh you can't see yer knickers, unfortunately, but you do look like you you just racked up. ;)
 
ooosh 10 years of being apart of the BL community, obvious the last few years not much at all. I think my prime was 2001-2006. I wouldn't say it's completely over for me, I still attend the odd gig, its definitely tapering away though.

I went through some crazy times, both good and bad and there are some things I would do over again if given a chance. But what's in the past is behind me, and i think i have come out the other side alright. I enjoyed some pretty fucking good parties and made some pretty awesome friends who I am still friends with today.

So overall it's been something definitely worth being a part of.

thats encouraging - I just figured I looked creepy. :)

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, glass of wine in one hand, joint in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming “WOO-HOO what a ride!"

Edit: OMG just remembered, this is a harm reduction website. I shouldn't be posting shit like that!

I think adopting an optimistic, love life/live life attitude *is* harm reduction. Just about everything people have said in these two pages could apply whether or not somebody is into substances to enhance their particular ride. Personally, I didn't touch drugs.. never even smoked a cigarette, through-out the years I spent riding the crest of my wave. I'd drink sparkling wine, but never enough to be sick the next day.. just enough to feel good on the dance floor.. hands in the air to some brilliant bit of trance, climbing up on the podium to feel all the energy.. my mind an explosion of euphoria inducing dopamine, brought on by nothing more than what was already inside of me, and the music!

So this ride you speak of.. I think it's more a state of living.. a time in our lives when we feel at our most alive, and receptive to happiness. For most people this is when they are young. Their bodie's healthy and fit.. which leads to confidence at clubs, at parties, openness to connecting with others, and most likely they're in love.. the most heady drug of all! But, as with substances, I don't think youth is crucial to being in that state either.

Even when 'The Ride' is over, it never stops completely. There may not be whole weeks/months/years of non stop partying, as we transition through the various life stages, moving out of one phase and into another.. But, like aftershocks following an earthquake there will always be moments of pure joy showing up every so often like an echo of the days of our ride.
 
So that's it....

Well Kids.... whatever the current status of your 'ride' or Journey is... Enjoy it. In the words of Ferris Bueller:

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while.. you could miss it"

I type this, thinking about the years 1997 to 2004 - And it makes me smile. The snap shots in my mind will last a lifetime...

Party on Wayne. Party on Garth! Live it up kids, Just like life..... it won't last forever so milk it while you can!

BOOYA!
 
i miss the people who didn't make it from those days.

i wasn't her best friend by any means but i miss Aunty Establishment
 
how the fuck did so many years pass. for me the ride is not over per se, but prison and serious injuries have forced me to slow down, be smarter & acknowledge that despite signs to the contrary im not boss of the universe and am not indestructible... i have managed to escape with my life, bout the best i could hope for...
 
Its over, Im not old.. but I just cant do it anymore! My younger mates still do Fri-Sat-Sunday benders. I struggle to even have a few drinks at my local most nights. Sure, theres the odd occasion where Ill end up in the cross or something but they are few and far between.
And babies..... so many friends having babies. Even my old drinking buddy (only 21) now has a bub and wont be heading out for some time I'm sure :(
 
Bunny... how are ya mate? Be nice to catch up again sometime... I live over East now.

Is the ride over? Strictly speakng, no it's not. However, that's like saying life isn't over to a 60 year old. It has tapered off a lot with no hope of picking up.

The part I miss is the crazyness. I like hallucinating all sorts of shit after a massive night out with no thought of dying. I like not giving a fuck. I spent years sleeping 6 nights a week and those were some of the best in my life. The crew that can match that with you and still be good people are the best folks in the world.

Now my priorities have changed. I realised I was getting older and decided to see the world. You need money for that. And you can't do it alone.

If I had to say why my life has changed, I'd say it was because I'm getting (gradually) less selfish as I get older. Sure I enjoyed my fun times before, but it wrecked my family.

That said, the times I got into it last year were the best days in that year, so sure I miss it. Normal life feels like being asleep....

Still not impressed we never really caught up.
 
All good things must come to an end I think. I'm 25 and at times get dragged to a club or two in syd but it's never the way it used to be. Started going out to raves at 14 (a tad young i know) but it was always about the music, your friends and having a good time. Going to a club in syd nowdays feels like going to a fashion show - whatever happened to clubs that are about the music?

And i second Miss Apple's comment, how the hell DID dudstep become mainstream?
 
^ Jaded and faded at 25?? Perlease!

Perhaps you're the first of the cotton-wool generation. -.-

Now shut up and get back out there and party!
