it always comes out of america, it really does!
you start listening to these guys
in the 21st century talking about psychedelic
"pioneers" from the 20th century...
- hey man! like take this l.s.d.
- n'ah man! d.m.t.! 15min of fab!
- magic mushrooms!
to be honest, i wouldn't do that -
i don't know why i wouldn't...
maybe because it's no longer a secret?
carlos casteneda's anthropological study
of a yaqui shaman, don juan -
and don juan says: keep it to yourself!
but no... the americans in the 20th century
had to write poetry... shout the mystic experience
from the rooftops!
and i'm like: well... that's ruined, what's the point
of doing these eywa roots?
eywa? the avatar planet goddess...
i'd love to have tried those things,
but these fungi have been contaminated by
other people's experiences, which they noted down...
is it really that bad? someone might ask...
yes!
it's a bit like disrespecting other people's privacy,
the term privacy? should anyone attempt it...
you can easily create junkies that way...
i was watching this video once...
this american girl went in search of ayahuasca
in south america...
she posted regular videos...
after a few videos, and she's
back home in america...
she's no longer eating / smoking it...
whatever... she's injecting it...
move it back to europe...
well, compared to you
"cool kids" in america... (apart from the dutch)...
we're still going: give us enough *****
and a good song, some tobacco and we tell you
of mysticism of another kind: the type you see
with your naked eyes.
i can't remember how many times
i had mystical(?) experiences drinking and listening
to music... usually nordic, but also germanic
music... ok even some slavic music...
english music?
you trying to bribe with candy
and a heart-numbing anesthetic?
you think i'd emotionally get-off
on english music? some henry the 8th greensleeves
suite? but, it's, only, alcohol...
i'll mystify alcohol for you... end up feeling
so much that you have to burst into tears
without any "enlightening" images,
geometric geriatrics...
i base everything on sounds,
**** the images, if there's a heaven i want to be
sitting next to homer, blind as a bat, as he ended
up being.
you want to know a mystical
experience from europe?
well... yesterday i woke up with this unforgiving
pain in my neck, like i might have popped a ******
and it got stuck in my neck...
i blame the builders making a racket
too early in the morning...
so last night i was like: that's it! i've had
enough! **** this *** is good...
so first it was 70cl of capn' morgan's white ***,
not bad, not bad at all...
and then onto the pièce de résistance
capn' morgan's original spiced gold -
making up about a litre of ***: in m'ah belly...
i'll be doing an apache yawn in a minute:
ap ap pa pa pa - lazy onomatopoeia, i know:
i can't be bothered exacting that battle cry...
but the zenith of this mystical experience came
after i butchered some food (ate it like a ravenous
wolf) - but i said to myself: not tomorrow!
i'm not going to lie in bed with a neck-ache
like i might have popped a ****** and it got stuck
in my neck (austin powers' ref. third movie?) -
and lo! behold... i woke up today chirpy like
a sparrow... chirp chirp! chirp chirp!
and did the oddest thing
imaginable... i watched a "movie" -
watched batman: arkham city...
the walkthrough... up to chapter 20...
now i see the funny side of professional
gamers... i can sorta start to build up a respect
for them now, before today i thought they
were a joke...
it felt like: the opposite of an audiobook?
in my life i might have listened to about 10minutes
of 1 audiobook... couldn't stomach it...
but these game walkthroughs? now that's an
area i'm really going to discover after today -
they're practically movies (games these days) anyway -
i remember times when playing games
meant you had sore fingers... like the first
time you pick up the guitar and one of your arms
starts aching because your fingers are getting
fried on the copper strings...
for some reason i can't imagine
myself playing a game like the one i ref. -
i prefer the game of hacking google...
but yeah... these games are great to watch,
but actually play them?
i'd rather shoot myself in the foot
before i start playing them...
so yeah, the zenith of yesterday's mystical
experience...
a. about a litre of *** (white and amber)
b. 25mg of amitriptyline
and crucially
c. 500mg of naproxen.
and this is for you, *******, having ruined
the potential of having a psychedelic experience!
i didn't want to know... but thanks for telling me...
**** yourselves, 20th century buggers
and your poetic buggery.
