RIP boots. We went on many adventures together. TSA always hastled me because you gave the wrong impression. I forgive you for the blisters.

MoZella - Hold On

Back and forth, stuck in the middle of love and hate.
Can’t solve the riddle. She broke your heart, tore you to pieces.
You’re all alone, I know what you’re needing boy.

It’s all right, love takes time.

There you are, right in the thick of it.
Broken up, I know you’re sick of it.
How come love just make you wanna quit?
Build a sand castle to watch the water ruin it.

It’s all right, love takes time.

When you think the world don’t care, just reach out and I’ll be there.

“I had long wanted to see “true” indigo, and thought that drugs might be the way to do this. So one sunny Saturday in 1964 I developed a pharmacologic launchpad consisting of a base of amphetamine (for general arousal), LSD (for hallucinogenic intensity), and a touch of cannabis (for a little added delirium). About twenty minutes after taking this, I faced a white wall and exclaimed, “I want to see indigo now—now!”
And then, as if thrown by a giant paintbrush, there appeared a huge, trembling, pear-shaped blob of the purest indigo. Luminous, numinous, it filled me with rapture: it was the color of heaven, the color, I thought, that Giotto spent a lifetime trying to get but never achieved—never achieved, perhaps, because the color of heaven is not to be seen on earth. But it existed once, I thought—it was the color of the Paleozoic sea, the color the ocean used to be. I leaned toward it in a sort of ecstasy. And then it suddenly disappeared, leaving me with an overwhelming sense of loss and sadness that it had been snatched away. But I consoled myself: yes, indigo exists, and it can be conjured up in the brain.”

Woes of being a Gardener

After having finally recovered from three weeks of poison ivy rash, today I weed-whacked right through a poison ivy bush. Here’s to another miserable three weeks. Just in time for my brother’s wedding.

I'm In.

Well, that was fast. They received and went over my medical kit. I’ve been cleared. On to the next step.

Finally sent in my Peace Corps medical kit. Now I wait.

“Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behaviour and information processing. They open you up to the possibility that everything you know is wrong.”
