Alright, here's the thing....
When I brush my teeth normally, I go through the action and don't really pay attention. I try to get all my teeth, my tongue, and get it over with. I HAVE to clean my mouth, so I do.
When I do dishes normally, I hate doing them and do them because they've got to get done.
NOW
When I brush my teeth high, i think of the angles. I spend good amounts of time on each side and surface, and I set out on a proud mission to, not go through the actions and get it done, but do it right.
When I do dishes high, I organize the dishes first, stack them in the order I want to take them down - I think two moves ahead on positioning and never hit or break a glass or dish. Were there a dishwashing show, I would be the star. And it's not a bother, or annoying to do.... doing the job right is the satisfying part and spending time doing something happy instead of annoyed is a good way to spend your time.
I recently thought that what I truly wanted to do with myself was find a way to perpetually smoke weed and play video games since playing games high is one of the funnest, most engrossing experiences I can think of (at least to do at home without a vagina around)
The truth is that I've realized it's important to accommodate that interest, yet not entirely. I need to put myself in a position where I can do that "when I want to". Same deal with eventually living a life that has nothing to do with an alarm clock.
It seems clear and easy what needs to get done, and for all the shit that goes around about smoking weed - I gotta say.... left up to my own devices, I don't ponder life as much as I should. Rather, I'm frustrated and seek nothing but distraction.
For me, weed engages me in my experiences and I naturally put additional thought into it.
High, last week, I wrote a routine. High, last night, I got on stage and did it.
I probably would have done that eventually, but I started and finished a satisfying, creative project and it's all because of weed.
Just sayin.
