Mushrooms for Christmas

I didn't read this whole thing (I might eventually) but this is a LONG article discussing the relationship of magic mushrooms to Christmas and Christianity in general. Pretty interesting stuff. Ya know, if you're like me and enjoy mushrooms.

my favorite quote:
"If you have mischief, wickedness, or secrecy in you, then entheogens [e.g. natural psychedelics, used for the intention of a religious experience] will take you down into the depths of your own hell. But if you have kindness, love, and truth within you, entheogens will raise you up into the heights of that heaven. When people of a poor disposition or in a negative mood eat magic mushrooms they usually have a “bad trip” and experience frightening or depressing hallucinations."

So what this tells me is I have kindness, love and truth in me :) EDIT: oh, and also mushrooms

Get High and Watch this Film

Fractals - The Colors of Infinity

Yes. It's a documentary. It's about an hour long. Teaching you about fractals. Accompanied by crazy pictures of fractal art and a psychedelic jazz background, it's fucking AWESOME.

Just search it on google videos. Seriously. It's a little dry at times, and kinda ridiculous, but SO interesting. And Stephen Hawking is in it for like two seconds.

Goerg, you, in particular, will like this

Legalize Shrooms

Parody of the MPP advertisement that came out yesterday in honor of 4/20. I feel like I'm a lot like the "trippin out" guy :). See the original here :

Crazy how it's actually very likely that we'll see the legalization of marijuana in the next 10 years...

Halloween Exploits

So the rave was a total bust. The DJs were awesome, but nobody showed up :(. Of course this left me and Doug trippin our balls off with nothing to do. So we did what any self-respecting drug users would do on Halloween; that is to say, we bought a shit ton of glow sticks, turned off the lights, and put my playlist of dance music on random until after 6 in the morning. It was a really fun night despite it all. I never really got balls deep on the mushrooms like I sometimes do. But I was certainly real fucked up, and I'm sure I just couldn't relax enough to really enjoy since the beginning of the trip consisted of a trip to walmart and then me basically alone in some warehouse dancing by myself as the rest of the crowd dissipated one by one. It's just a real shame that people are not really interested in the whole electronic scene here. The guy who put this whole thing together spent a lot of money, and it was a real labor of love, but by the time that Doug got back with Jess there's was no way that the 3 of us could save the party. Ah well. Half a fifth of vodka, a bunch of beer, a heaping bowl and a few hours later as I laid on the ground, listened to Hallucinogen and watched Doug and Jess do a bunch of crazy shit with glow sticks above my face, I realized that the night wasn't such a bust after all. :)

PS I will be home alone in the Roch over Thanksgiving which means two things:
1) I need people to celebrate T-Giving with. I'm not inviting myself to dinner or anything, but if anyone is free during the day or whatever, it be nice to hang out with my extended family :)
2) No parties at my place but... I may be able to acquire some more trippy stuff and we could have a "party" with a few peeps in my basement. Or regardless, we can all hang out. As long as no one's playing bongo drums or skinny dipping in the hot tub.

PPS I'm thinkin about goin to one night of the Umphrey's New Year's run, if someone can come with me. I'll be in South Bend area at my grandparents up til then so I'd be happy to drive into Chicago if someone met me there. If no one can go, no big, but I'm just not sure if I'll be around MI for New Year's Eve or not. The current plan is to try to find a good dance party with Doug and groove into 2009.

PPPS I'm WELL aware that I'm totally becoming a raver kid. haha. It was only a matter of time. But I'm getting a lot better with glow sticks :-D
