Random Ass Update
Alright y'all. I think I've been down south a little too long for my own comfort. Actually no, things have been just alright. I now have a new travelin' crew. It's a bus of awesome people I met in Rainbow-saurus land, and we're going to be traveling to the West Coast. The quarters are a bit tight, and we don't have much of a plan, but none of that really matters right now. We're living the moment to its fullest fruition, and nothing is holding us back. Two days ago, we headed down south of Ocala, originally to visit the keys, but our prerogatives changed, and we decided to attempt to help out the tornado relief effort after we dumpstered a ton of food. Sadly, we were impeded by a gaggle of police, morbidly obese baptist preachers accosting us about whether we understood authority or not, and baboons. Well, maybe not the baboons, but the 5-0 and the baptist dude were enough. It's all good though; none of us were arrested or baptized, so we're all fat and happy (Well, not as fat as the preacher, but he certainly wasn't a happy man.)
You know what's nice about traveling with cool people?
Lots of cuddling.
And hour long jam sessions consisting of guitars, banjo, mandolin, bells, and a washboard.
I tried mushrooms about a week ago, and it was the closest thing to a spiritual experience I've ever had. It was like, a visualization of understanding how to cope with my own confused consciousness. It kinda reminded me of the Matrix, when Neo is offered the blue pill or the red pill. I had to focus on love, peace, and happiness in order to manifest those things in my life, or I could just be frightened by everything around me and never feel any elation. A friend I met at Rainbow put it really well: what you focus on is what you get out of life. And that's exactly what mushrooms helped me understand that night. I know it seems weak to have to use a chemically-altered state just to realize this, but an epiphany is an epiphany nonetheless and I'm happy for what happened. But it was so beautiful; whenever I focused on something, I would become immersed in whatever that was; be it music, people, or myself. But beyond the emotional aspects, I saw some really pretty visuals. Imagine being surrounded by a green and white aura of light and feeling every sound quake through your body like a warm, calm tidal wave. But yah.
I got a mandolin the other night, and I'm planning on acquiring a banjo too. As long as it's cheap and sturdy I'm gonna do it. Hmmm.
I'm gonna go try to find some IWW or traveler songs to learn.
Aye.
