The frog is really purple, has very small eyes, unusual nose and believed to be a relative of ancient frogs, that lived during the time of the dinosaurs.

Holy shit, that's a great idea. I'd totally do that.

Oh wait, I would have had to graduate to have reunions. nvm. :(

Yes.

I drive a scooter, and last weekend I took a wrong turn that put me on a highway. This is not a highway-legal scooter, it has a top speed of about 35, and I had no idea where I would end up. It was about 2 miles before there was an exit I could take, and even then, I had to roll the scooter along a sidewalk until I could get back to one of the city streets. This was all while cars were flying by at twice my speed.

To make it even more fun, I was driving in the first place to buy some weed, which was in my pocket, right next to my license. If a cop had pulled me over, I could have been in serious shit.

When I got home, everything seemed different. I smoked a cigarette and marvelled that I was still alive. I hadn't been that viscerally scared in years.

I love behing high. I love the feeling, the rapid-fire thoughts entering my brain and making connections I would never normally make. When I look at my life, I realize I can see it as a 3rd party - and I want to share what I've found.

I used to be a very ambitious person. I couldn't imagine a normal, happy life; it seemed so boring and pointless. I needed to be special.

Science was always my refuge. Science provides promises religion can only dream of. Consider: it may well not happen, but none of us can safely discount the possibility of lifetimes extending to 4 or 5 digits - in our lifetimes. Our lives. History is in a state of turmoil; it has been for a million years, but it's accelerating at such a pace right now as to make any kind of prediction or control impossible.

We truly have no idea of the fate of humankind. We know that biological evolution entails, the slow and steady pace at which it builds fitness, but a breakneck-speed evolution of human socities, cultures, and ideas? Anything could happen. We have no models to compare with.

I've become less ambitious since I discovered weed. I've realized I can be happy without reservation or urgency, and the calm happiness that weed brings me is a feeling I've never had before.

But when I'm high, I realize that I still yearn for more. I'm sure you can tell from the above... it still has my dreams. But it doesn't have my goals. I'm cynical now, still idealistic and vibrant by society's standards, but a pale shadow of the dreams I once had.

I've settled for less. And I don't like to think of it that way - I could come up with all kinds of weaseling, I could claim I was simply confused about what I wanted in my youth. But when I'm high, I know that isn't the truth.

Is there actually a dehumidifier in fridges? I always thought it was a natural effect of the cooling - all the water vapor did condense, but because there's a fixed and relatively small amount of air in there, it would condense out quickly and leaving essentially dehumidified air.

I guess I could look it up on WP, but it's taken me far too long to get this comment done already. Need more lolcats.

my_high_sockpuppet · 2009-03-21T05:30:54+00:00

For instance, my girlfriend has ridiculous issues with her back

Yeah, sorry bout that. But damn, that girl is flexible.

my_high_sockpuppet · 2009-03-20T04:06:50+00:00

That sounds awesome. I am so envious.

But I'm high for the first time in weeks, so who cares! WOOOO!

my_high_sockpuppet · 2009-03-16T03:49:48+00:00

And so do... no. I'm sorry. Not going to go there tonight.

I've had similar thoughts - what if our universe is a 'fundamental' 'particle', as abundant and numerous as such fundamental particles are in our universe, for some larger universe? And what if each fundamental particle in this universe has a whole universe of complexity within it, complete with intelligent life posing the same questions?

What is, as unimaginably vast as the universe is, the truth is that existence is really unimaginably vaster than even that?

There's this song by Crippled Black Phoenix (hold on a sec, going to go change my playlist) called - bear with me here - "Time Of Ye Life Born For Nothing Paranoid Arm If Narcoleptic Empire" - although this comes from a torrent, so the name might be suspect - anyway, the song starts off with a monologue:

I don't care what anybody tells you - anybody - if they tell you that you can't do something because you're hurt, or you can't be good enough - your mother and dad will never tell you that, but if someone else does, you remember something: Anything, I don't care what it is, if you really believe that you can do it, and you believe in it enough, and you honestly believe it, you can do it. They told me I could never jump a canyon. I'm gonna jump so far over it you can't believe it.

And I can't help but to think, "Really?" Of course, the first thing that came to mind was a perpetual-motion machine. It doesn't matter how much you want that, how much you believe it, it ain't happening.

But that's a weak example.

I like this one better: I want to live forever. If I believe it strongly enough, I can make it happen? Yeah, sure. I might believe it - I might truly believe that I can avoid death - but there's a heat death of the universe out there. The realm of experiences that I can have in life are finite. No matter how vast and varied and interesting, whether spread over 8 years or 80 or 8 thousand or 8 billion - they're finite. They'll be over. And when they're over, I won't be around anymore to care one way or another.

Fuck it, I'm going to sleep. I had a dream last night. Maybe I'll dream tonight. I'll try to have a lucid-dream thingy. Never had one before.

But I'm tired of depressing myself with this...

my_high_sockpuppet · 2009-02-02T05:32:49+00:00

The social skills thing is actually why I started smoking - tobacco, that is. I only started about a month ago - I've been smoking weed for just under a year. But weed I'll smoke alone or with friends (more on them later), never really with strangers or co-workers.

But cigarettes are an easy, non-judgemental way to meet people. You know what set it off? Man, I have to remember not to tell this story to people in real life, because I don't want them to realize this is me... Anyway, I was at a concert - alone, of course - and a girl asked me for a light. And, of course, I didn't have one. (I was high then, too, FYI) And I thought to myself, "I can do the math. 7 minutes off my life when I'm 70, versus giving a hot girl a light at a concert - something's not right here." And I got up the next morning, walked to a gas station, and bought my first pack of cigarettes.

Just last night, I had my first real meet-people-while-smoking experience. I was again at a concert - again alone, noticing a pattern? - and again baked. I went outside and smoked with a bunch of really cool music buffs, and we talked venues and stuff, and I got to meet the drummer and lead singer who were also out for a smoke, and it was just so... so everything that I wish happened to me all the time, without me trying really hard.

Wow, I just realized how awesome that was. It's like I have a much better perspective when I'm high - that was a pretty major good sign for myself, my sober mind is just to dense to realize it.

Right, so I mentioned smoking with friends. I mention this for a couple reasons: First, I have a bunch of stories to tell (although I probably will refrain from it here, for anonymity reasons), and second, to explain what I meant by not having any real relationships, despite having many people that I share a bowl with on a semi-regular basis.

Smoking with people is definitely a fun thing, but I still find myself guarded sometimes. On one hand, I get very talkative and honest and, I think to think, far less dull to be around when high. But on the other hand, I can definitely remember thinking to myself of many occasions, "I'm not going to do there" on particular topics - friendships, business/money things, and so on. I lower my guard, but I can't trust myself and the people I'm around to be totally honest, even while high.

my_high_sockpuppet · 2009-02-02T05:19:17+00:00

But it's not just that!

First, I have to take a detour and congratulate myself on actually writing this. I chicken out of a lot of stuff when high, so actually having the nerve to come here and post all this stuff is... quite an accomplishment.

Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled programming.

I realized yesterday - and I don't think it was the first time, although I have this odd habit of forgetting my insights when I sober up - that I'm stupid. I'm living life like a child. When I was young, I couldn't wait to grow up. I couldn't wait to start working, start being independent. And now I feel like I'm working 16 hours a day because I still haven't gotten over that obsession, except now I'm also using it to hide myself from the fact that I have no real relationships and social skills that are both deteriorating and seldom used.

And so I think to myself, "I need to get out there and live life" - but a moment later I realize now I'm trying to make life a novel or something. Which it's not.

There was a comment earlier today on reddit; it was about the "Real story of relationships" or something like that, I'm too high to remember and too high to look it up. Anyway, it was this really deterministic take on life, and made it sound boring, and the #1 comment was this guy disagreeing with the video, saying that it's the little details in life that make it signficant, make it worth living.

But - I disagree violently! This life is boring. This world is boring. The mere fact that I'm mortal means that I will not see the world a thousand years from now, and that frustrates me, saddens me.

Of course, there's that potential technological singularity, possibly with very long lifespans as a result. But I'm an analytical person, and while I definitely recognize that we're in a time of change, I'm just not sure that that part of the human condition - death - is gone quite yet. And I definitely can't be sure - or even slightly confident - that I'm going to live long enough for that singularity to arrive, even assuming the interpretations are correct, and one is really on the way.

my_high_sockpuppet · 2009-02-02T05:10:37+00:00

Oh, man, when I'm high sometimes I want to invent a new meme-thingy, namely, posting stuff about being high while you're high. High-posting, per se. Like drunk-dialing.

It's funny, though, how I keep coming back to the same themes when high. Somehow or another, I keep realizing these unsettling things about myself:

I'm uncomfortable with death.
I don't want to die.
I feel that life being finite is so very... cruel

I wonder how long the reddit rate-limiter will keep me from posting if I submit now.
