I just had the strangest moment of my life.
We (me and my dad) are currently in the LA Airport, we got here about .. two hours early, so we needed something to do. He got on his laptop to do some work, I realized that I wouldn't be able to use it for a while, so I decided to head over to the Book place, w/e the fuck you call them. Anyways, so I saw this new Rolling Stone, and on the cover it had "New Guru, New Drugs, New Visions THE PSYCHEDELIC REVIVAL" So, of course, I read it. It turns out, this person has like the exact same thoughts on life that I do, quoting a guy in questioning: Why do anything? We're all heading for the void. The article is VERY potent. He talks about how brainwashed and zombie-like most people seem to be, and how none of them have ever WOKEN UP(he also mentions the world ending in 2012, saying that all of his friends feel the same way about it). That's when it hits me, the reason why I freaked out when I was tripping, the reason I've been feeling so out of place, the reason I just dont care. The reason I flipped out and went crazy while I was tripping WAS mostly in part of the fact that it was bad acid, the second reason is that, I have no fucking idea where life is supposed to take me, and it'll all be over soon. Like; whats the fucking point?! It made me feel nauseous, I really almost threw up just by thinking about it. It was like an epiphany, or something. I mean the world has just turned into this vile, nasty, disgusting thing, all because of our need to kill, pollute, and live comfortably. One of these days the world is going to either fight back, or it's just waiting for us to kill ourselves off.
It's also one of the reasons I've almost given up on guitar (or maybe its just an excuse). But now I feel that I have a message, all I need is vocal cords for my voice (and a bassier one, with a bit of rhythm to it too wouldn't hurt((oh yea, and the chimey part))
We NEED to do something, I think I'm going to start making flyers or something, to communicate how bad a shape our world is in, to at least TRY and wake people up, not by drugs, but by teaching. It's sick what our world is become, and only our generation can stop it, we need to voice our opinions, even if the media wont show what we say.
I don't think anyone understands how urgent this feels. THIS is the reason.
For those that don't know(which would be everyone) I've been feeling completely INSANE lately, not because I'm the insane one, but because everyone else is. My mind can't understand things like anger and fighting, and intensity, it REALLY freaks me out just by seeing it and it makes me think I'm going mad, now I feel secure, like I know why things have been happening as they have. (I think I reached a new level of existence =P)
Sorry for the length, its just important to me. And please comment, I would be more offended if you didn't comment than if you did.
