Whatever small ego boost I got from that was quickly destroyed when I started to write this blog-off and realized that Hey, knowing grammar does not make one good at writing. Sadly.

Missing Rain

This is the worst part of winter, even more depressing than the constant dark. This is the part that makes me long for summer. Snow is fun, the first few times, but when it snowed last week I couldn’t help wishing it was warmer. The first rain of spring is always fantastic – the smell and the sound and the way the air hangs slightly heavier before and after. Summer rain is easier to go out in, but spring rain is more wonderful by far. And so I sit here, hoping this warmth isn’t another will-o’-the-wisp, and anticipating the rain.

Why drinking is cool

"Theoretically, you can recreate all states of consciousness just by thinking about them but having tried both meditation and drugs and often both at the same time I'm not sure about this one. It's a bit like saying you can recreate the feeling of a Thanksgiving Dinner using meditation. Maybe you could but why would you? Meditation can take you to some places that some drugs can also take you too but I don't believe meditation can reproduce a full-on acid experience or a high dose mushroom or DMT trip, nor would it be helpful if it did. It can reproduce something like an ecstasy experience. Meditators who claim they can recreate all of these drug states are probably either unfamiliar with the drugs or they're being slightly disingenuous about the whole issue."

-Grant Morrison

Okay, so quoting something tangentially related doesn’t really answer the topic question, I suppose. It’s just not that interesting a topic to have to write on, that’s all. Drinking is of course fun because altered states are fun. Seeing the world differently, whether because of drinking or other drugs or new ideas or new people, is almost always worthwhile. I’m of the belief, though, that talking about drugs qua drugs can be – and almost always is – extremely boring. Especially when that talking is a monologue. Which is why I'm letting that quote basically suffice as my entry.
