Waaaaah!! I was a litle 'tarded last night/this morning.

Jingle ringle tomorrow - sounds good, m'lady!!

I think i'm the only one here who doesn't do anything recreational except throw a few drinks back once and awhile. hrm.

^ Nah, you're fine. I have a feeling you're not the only one here. Either that, or people just don't want to post about their indulgences. :P

Well I'm back and still in one piece. Camping was awesome. Tanned the bevvies pretty hard, slept maybe 5 hours all weekend, drinking straight out of the whisky bottle at 9 AM. Dropped the acid, friends brought out a bunch of charlie, two-four and two-six demolished. Got tons of sun, got rained on like crazy, forgot to take my camera and cellphone out of my pocket before going in the lake... Oops.

^ thx Whirly. It could be that I'm ancient (32 i mean) by current music-listener standards.. haha...

Dude, evermin, we're older than you.

And Darkstar... BWAHAHAHA, you get some sorta sloppy award for forgetting the camera and cellphone.

dude, isn't that the second cellphone you've done that with?

Yeah, on NYE I took a wee tumble on the dancefloor and a couple more in snowbanks and got water inside the LCD screen and killed the battery. I could not be less pleased with myself on that one. Next one is going to be bubblewrapped and strapped to my wrist. Especially seeing as I'm trying to get finances under control, I'm somewhat choked about needing to drop a few hundred on replacements now.

At any rate, two weekends from now, at Folk Fest, I think might be my big farewell to being a total mentalist. Not that there won't be the odd big piss-up or one-offs from time to time, but there are other things I need to get onto. I don't thing I'm going to go too mental at Folk Fest, either really. I haven't done pills in almost 8 months, so I think we'll bag a couple of those and enjoy a clearheaded weekend in the woods feeling bright and happy.

I've been getting a little bit more hardcore as time passes on and there really haven't been any consequences. My body laps it up and then laughs while everyone else is sitting the next round out. But it won't forever. I've earned my stripes and sometimes you need to know when one more tour of duty is a bad idea.

We'll see what happens though.

I know the feeling man.

I've given myself until next year, then I'm gonna knock off all the hard stuff.

yeah.

right.

It's the booze as much as anything for me. I was drunk enough I remember almost nothing of my acid trip, which I'm saddened by because the other time I did it was so glorious and memorable. I went to bed well after everyone else but still woke up at 6 AM and enjoyed a peaceful morning by the beach waiting for the others. By 8 AM I'd cracked a beer. By 9 AM I was drinking straight from the bottle of Jack.

Not that I felt any sort of compulsion to do it or anything, I just knew everyone else would be starting to drink shortly and I might as well get a head start. Woke up at 6 AM the next day too, though I didn't have my first beer until early afternoon and only had a couple.

Everyone talks a big talk about going mental but almost everyone falls off by the wayside while I'm just hitting stride.

Although I suppose it's the drugs that give me the hardcore reputation with my friends. That and the fact that hangovers and comedowns are mostly non-existent. Other than an hour or so of feeling poo the day after the charlie binge and the fact I needed a 13 hour sleep to get rested up when I got home, I've felt no adverse effects from this weekend's binge. That can't last forever, I don't think.

Meh.

We'll see what happens. I've never thought this seriously about knocking it off before, so we'll just see.

(PS. I did creep out my friend Alison by standing outside her tent at 6 AM while on acid. She asked me what I was doing there and I told her something was scaring me and I needed to stand there. :) Just an amusing anecdote...)

Sometimes it's a good idea to step back and clear your head. IMO. Partying is good and fun, but sometimes the body and mind need a break.

It doesn't have to be a permanent thing, but you know when the honeymoon is over. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future to let 'er rip. And I know you'll be up for it!

Rock on. I'M YOUNG AGAIN!!! Muahahah!

Actually, you're the third oldest person on here.

Quit making me feel old, dammit.

I think I just need to take a step back from the combinations of substances. And, most importantly, cut the binge drinking down. I don't get too wasted too often these days, but when I do decide to give 'er, I really give 'er.

I'm mostly sad about not remembering the acid trip.

And I need to take a step back for the sake of my reputation, too. I can, for the most part, handle the amount of things I do but I can't handle it if I become known as a waster, which is bound to happen if I keep it up.

d00d, there is no shame in being king of the wasters. srsly.

wear it proudly.

it's really the only thing you need to do for the rest of your life.

bwah

Mips is coming to Amsterdam in two days.

Keep an eye on this thread ya'll ;-)

Bringing this one back from the dead.

It's 4:45 AM. I have to be up for work in precisely two hours. I'm stoned, a little bit drunk (not much, only had a bottle of Chilean wine), and VERY tootled. My friend Charlie came to town. Bought some for the first time ever. Hollywood line at 3:50 AM... Probably bad idea?

just skimmed through this page - darky - for god's sake u'r the last person on earth i'd expect to mix alcohol and sid! u'r the drugstore cowboy chemist for god's sake! alcohol kills sid - it's a fuckin depressent - i never mix it with uppers - never psychedelics - unless u'r overloaded n dosing strong.

damn, it's been almost 6 months now since i've gone clean - no alcohol, no sid, no nothing, except the weekend reefer. i miss just the sid tho. i have like 35 gel tabs and 5 hits of e lying on me for 6 months - i don't believe what i've become!

Yeah, I should definetly have known better. I thought the acid would cut through the booze but it didn't really.

And work is going to suck. I look and feel like a zombie. I'm going to send myself home at the earliest convenience, probably about 5 hours in, hopefully, with a little luck...
