I just watched it, I know it bit late :-// but it's a fookin great film.



Made me think a bit. Like i'm missing out on the drug world. Also that i'm missing out on a world where the DJ's care about the music and can take you on an emotional rollercoaster. I'm going to have to get out of this town, seriously.



"We wanna go somewhere else. We're not threatened by people anymore. All our insecurities have evaporated. We're in the clouds now. We're wide open. We're spacemen orbiting the earth. The world looks beautiful from here, man. We're nympholeptics, desiring for the unobtainable. We risk sanity for moments of temporary enlightenment. So many ideas. So little memory. The last thought killed by anticipation of the next. We embrace an overwhelming feeling of love. We flow in unison. We're together. I wish this was real. We want a universal level of togetherness, where we're comfortable with everyone. We're in rhythm. Part of a movement. A movement to escape. We wave goodbye. Ultimately, we just want to be happy." wow.



The soundtrack is amazing too, I got this when the film was released so I'm not that out of touch.

Glad you liked the film, iguanapunk - it is great, isn't it? There are a lot of truths in that film if you've ventured along the path that the people in the film have. There's something about it, you know - you just nod your head and say, "yeah, that's IT! I know exactly what that means!" It's funny, the first time I saw the film was in 2000. It had come out for rent when we were visiting my folks in London - and we watched it... with my mother. Oh dear, I don't think she knew what to make of it!!!



Me, I'm just hit with waves of nostalgia when I watch it nowadays. My life is so tame and settled now, for the better because that's just where I am, and I'm OK with that - life goes on and I have immense responsibilities and a young life to care for. I suppose it makes the extrememly rare occasion when I do go out, more special, and it's all good.



I understand what you're feeling, I really do, I'm about to get maternal and crap, because I've been where you are. Wanting to experience something extraordinary, and be a part of something extraordinary, to sort of "find" out who you are/where you are/why you are/where you belong. Be apart of something much bigger than you are. I think that's 100% of the reason why people do the things they do - be it drugs, drink, church, sex, marriage - whatever. It's weird, but it's natural to feel that way all the same - am I making any sense here? ;)



My motto: no regrets. I never did anything that I've regretted. OK, except for that time I was pissed off at my husband and went to the bar, had 9 rum and cokes on an empty stomach, tried stumbling home, was rescued by my husband who was out and about looking for me, and spent the entire evening and next day with my head in a toilet. But that's beside the point.



My husband and me, we did our own thing and discovered worlds together, with no peer pressure and no regrets. Sure, wanting to be a part of something much bigger than ourselves was a huge factor in doing what we did, but at the end of the day it was all a part of where we were in our lives, and we felt ready and comfortable with who we were already, and it never got to the point where we let other things control/dictate who we were. As I've said before, it's all how you go into it. ;) These things just comes with the territory, if you let it - as does wanting to experience extraordinary things comes with the territory of self discovery.



So anyway, sorry for being absurd and overly mommy-like with the length of this post. That's my experience, and enough ramblings from me for now!

nice words whirly :)



I never regret anyting because I know I make desicions for a reason.

ah human traffic again!!!



i think i've said before that human traffic was a snapshot of my life between 1999 till the end of the summer 2003. it was nice that someone made a film of what my weekends were like, in fact most uk clubbers life was like. for this reason alone it is a great film! some times on a mash up session we would put the film on for a laugh. i do find i can't watch it these days, just find it a little over acted and some of the scenes are weak, like the national anthem scene wtf was that all about?? but i'm glad i've got it in my collection. i know i can watch it in ten years time i can watch it to remind my self of my wild day!!



my life has changed alot since last summer. our weekends were just getting more and more heavy and expensive. always looking to get more outta the weekend. for the final 4 months of our mash ups, my friends and i gave up sleeping at the weekend. i guess we were just trying to extend the weekend. we never wanted the party to end. i don't think it was a very healthy way to live. august bank holiday was the worst we went from saturday out clubbing that night, had the mash up on sunday then clubbing on the sunday night before finally getting to sleep on monday mid morning.



things need to change in my life and they did. we went out on a nights clubbing down the zap in brighton in october. my best friend pippa told me she was 5 weeks pregnant. that became the catalyst for us to change the way we live our lives. now i'm looking forward to becoming uncle sneaker, the god father!! i got best man duties to perform in about 12 months time. start of my new club night 'makoosa'. i'm just getting my buzz from different things. absolutely no regret over anything i've done over the last few years, it's been a hoot!!!



it's a bit of a strange comment to make iguanapunk that your 'missing out on the drug world'. you have always seemed very anti-drugs on he, which is very commendable. if you go down that road it's a concious decision, but not something that should be inspired by a film. but your other comment about 'missing out on a world where the DJ's care about the music and can take you on an emotional rollercoaster'. dam right your missing out!!!! muzik is the answer.





old's cool!!

It's not just a film though. It's telling a truth, of the effects of drugs. I am anti drugs to an extent. Seems rather dangerous to mess with the chemicals in your body, but it can take you to another beautiful place it seems.



My friend said he'd cook some 'special' brownies for the Glastonbury Festival. I'm thinking about trying one, but I don't want it to mess up my weekend.



Muzik is the answer, just not here unfortunatly :( It's the same in every club but i've mentioned this many times before.

you just go to the wrong clubs.

it's all we got here.

oh and while we were on the subject of human traffic can i say.



to quote moff



"peter andre?? i mean peter 'fuckin' andre"



how apt that line seems to be again.

Go for it mate, it's like being wasted but different sort of. A great social thing, but you might not wanna leave the tent. The words 'can't be arsed' will be the most common thing you'll say. It's something you should do at least once in your life, just to see how much the government and health officials lie about it. Dangerous? Don't make me laugh.
