But it ain't quite the same now. In many regards, it mind maintenance. I'm married to the experience for life and have to repeat it with frequency because it is the greatest stress reliever around. You have to blow out the cobwebs and remind yourself not to get too caught up in the shit around you.
The other thing I note is that tripping has made me more creative. I tend not to be governed strictly by the false parameters of a lot of my colleagues. Many people will say "Well, you can't do that." The people I know who indulge tend to instead ask "Why not?" I think you look at life differently once you've seen the walls breathe and touched a bass line as it wafted past you a few times. Or maybe I'm just a burnt fool waxing nostalgic and rationalizing brain damage. Either way, it gets me through the days.

False paramters? Can you differentiate those from the real ones? Bc I think thats a definition of insanity, which as we all nkow, occurs when you take acid nine times. Remember that one?
I remember a time in my life when I carried around a deck of cards with me at all times bc I had that kind of free time and would just sit in the sun with people and break out a game of rummy five or hearts if people were up for it. I made about $4.50 an hour but lived in a very pretty place and had no debt. I left bc I didnt want to end up that old forty year old guy with the leathery skin that skeeved out the just out of college set. gotta wonder if you are better off now.
