Entheogens: The Movie

There is a new movied called, Entheogens: Awakening the God Within, currently showing at the Sundance Film Fesitval. Here is a 5 minute preview. [via Bruce Eisner]

Had a pretty low key day yesterday. Did some painting. The sun was out and I took the pooch for a walk. Went to Stephie's house and had feta and roasted red pepper omeletes and watched a couple episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Did some more painting and then went to the rents house for dinner. We discussed my recent decisions about quiting my job and what not and they were pretty cool about it actually.

They know Im too cool and have to much potential to sell out this early. I mean I'm 22 and i have college degree, a roof over my head and a means to some ends. I'm ready to party and spread my rare breed of insanity around the world not put on a monkey suit and go to a meeting with a bunch of exhausting extroverts who do nothing and drive jags.

look within

Went to Yems and there were a couple people there, One of which was the dude. He had k and shrooms and busted out a book on them when wags started talking about them being food poisening which i never believed. We smoked a couple splifs and i observed a reverse cone rolling technique which im tyring to incorporate into my rolling style.

Did a little bit of K and chilled. We all got real quite and listened to Sterolab which is Yems favorite band. Wags did a bunch and was pretty groked out. We peaced and Steffie DDed thankfully. Got back, made a fire, put some chillout tunes on, rolled 2 and did a rail. Meditated and felt the warmth of the fire and the vibes of steph sitting next to me. Looked deep within and saw a beautiful eye morphing and changing.

DD's rule

Made some soba noodle soup, and finished painting. Steph brought over a delicious mini banana cream pie.

rippin in vmont

we were at UVM for maybe an hour before a couple people showed up at the girls room and requested the holy sacrament. Yem and I couldnt resist and dosed as well obviously commiting to staying the night.

As dorm rooms go there was pretty set up right for tripping but it was still a little wierd being in that atmosphere again for the first itme in 4 years. All the kids were great though. The trip kinds of creeps on me and I dose again before it really hits.

Its snowing and everything looks all crystaline and sparkely. Snow is way trippie. I go with one guy to the money store and to his dorm to get nugs. his roomate needs some alchohol and agree to do my part as a person of age.

It ends up being a crazy adventure. First to the liquour store, where i do very well except that i got captain instead of jack or something. but what do you expect when you send the tripping kid to the liquor store. Got some Samy Smith Otie 22's for myself and the crew.

Then we went to the City Market or something that is just like whole foods and I almost wigged. Inside was way to Vermont for me all dreadies and hipsters so i bought a superfood and went outside where i stoood around awkwardly untill I noticed 2 massive wolf dogs. I observed from a distance for a minute till the owner said they were friendly and then approached. I hung with the white one for a minute and then moved the black one.

All these emergency vehicles went by with there sirens blazing and the dogs went nuts howling. It was quite intense. By this point it feels like ive been outside for an eternity and I start to think that this store and place and people are not real, just figment of my imagination or something and i start to have crazy buggin thoughts about being stuck out in the cold and god knows what else and right before im about to bug my buddy comes out and says he almost bugged inside.

But the journey is still not over we have to get pizza and cigarettes, park and walk about a mile back to the dorm. Needless to say it was nice to be back in the safe place. Oh yeah , and he played some good tunes in the car. 311 down is a great song and he played some really crazy Wu tang that had lyrics about the scenes from the bible becomeing reality and cops banging down your dorm room door.

Get back to the place and chill for a while. The cops show up but for some reason i dont bug even though we have a pot, beer, lSD and a couple grams of molly. They tell us to move some fire hazard and quite down the drinking party. gotta love vmont coppers.

The rest of the night was farely unneventful expcet for the wierd kid who we ditched with this girl we sold a bunch of molecule too, who invited us to an orgy party which we obviously should have gone to but didnt cuase we took sleeping pills. And watching shark tale, playing with light ball things and having a great time chillin with cheese head.

Negative Negatorials

Montreal was mad cool. I took Anuck's Yoga class, which was in French but it was great anyway. The French was really soothing and i got a few good tips.

She and her roomates threw a party that night which was interesting being that it was my first french speaking party. I mean, everyone speaks english but primarily they speak French. So, someone will just come up and start blabbing and Id have to be like "uh, i dont understand you". But they were all good people. I got my face painted and once everyone was good and drunk they busted out these outlandish costumes and we basically had a hoe down in the living room with a fidel and the train on the banjo.

Got up and out next day, ditched the train there. Got some Sushi for breakfast and headed for UVM. Got there and heard about a blizzard at home so we decided to stay and eat LSD with the kids.

Everything You Know is Wrong

I mean they had me working for drug companies and power consortiums or whatever Cynery is. On the one hand you have an industry that is making people sick and dependant and treating medicene like movies and on the other you have the ultimate monopoly created and facilitated by the government.

got a new book

Quit that shit

So, I just officially quit my job. Bossman was mad cool even though he is one of Satan's children. I just couldnt do it anymore. It was like the whole time I was holding in a laugh becuase they thought I was something I wasnt and now Ive just burst out laughing in their faces.

Dear Train

DUde! What up? HOws makin Bunk beds goin? I didnt make it to Cincinatti. So that basically means i quite my job even though i havnt told them anything, yet. Went back to UVM and heard it was snowin real bad at home so we stayed and triped out. It was a crazy night. Little wierd trippin there with all them but I really like Lauren so it was all good. Just chillin since i got back, Wagar Had an artistic vision while i was gone and decided that we needed to smassh the big mirror and make a mural out of it and paint the walls. So we been doin that. Hit me the fuck up and let me know whats going on. Send my love to anook or anuck or however the hell you spell that candadiens name.

Love Howie

Boycoth

Im sitting in a hostel in mOntreal in the Viex Montreal or old Montreal section, talking serious out there politics with a dude from Vermont. He was watching CSpan on the internet when we came in and we immediately got political. He says hes here escaping from our government. Hes breaking down economic slavery and the tyranny of money.

According to him, at some point China will own our country becuase we are influxing them with cash and they are buying our debt.

We got onto the green economy tip and now I think we are gonna get high together. I think Hes wants some L too.

We have to Boycott china

Gettin Freaky at UVM

Somehow ended up at UVM in our good friend's little sister's dorm room on an all girls floor and her roomate is a cutie. We party to say the least. We get all kinds of dank beers and some whiskey too. We take some prints of molly and start drinkin.

The roomate and I connected right away and had been havin fun together all day. We all go to see a hypnotist show together which was pretty wierd. I still think they have plants in the group who help set the stage and make the poeple do stuff.

After the show we dose a bunch of chicks and start taking more molly. the roomate who we will call the incident and I talk for a while and she starts getting deap with me aabout her fam and her getting arrested and everything and right there I knew I was in.

The night goes on with us drinkin and smoking bongs with these girls. Next thing i know Im on the floor in a pillow and blanket nest and everyone has left except the incident. She basically seduced me and I loved it.

Partying with the girlies

Had some girlies over for dinner. Blue eyes and the cutie, and I invited steph cause we all just friends here ya know, they brough another one of their friends too. We made a salad with miso/ginger dressing, steamed seasoned veggies and shrimp scampi over lemon pepper linguine. Only prob was the cutie is allergic to shrimp, just jave to cook for her another time.

Went to the 218 to check out our friends band but they sucked so we went to Soma cuase the chicks wanted to dance and I certainly don't mind that.

Soma is pretty cool, but nothing special, basement hole in the wall really but they play club music and it gets packed and everyone gets watsted and get down and has a good time.

Lizard met us there when she got out of work and broke the ice well by grinding all up on my shit. Slowly as they consumed the beverages the other girls got into it as well.

Went back to the pad afterwards and the train showed up all E'd out which is unusual for him. But it was all good. tried to get him to take one for the team with the friend. She was salt cause some dude wanted to take her home to roxborough but the cutie told her to have more respect for herself than that. She was just trying to get a piece. Cant Blame a girl. I couldn't really expect ari to wing man with that chick after she showed us her cavernous plummers crack, seemed like I could crall in, kick my feet up and chill out.

Walked the girls home, cept for blue eyes, she stayed with wags, after they got there Lorenzo's.
They made it apparent that we weren't coming in and we went home ans smoked till we passed out on the same pillow

What you funkin for?

Last night was beatiful; mid January and its in the 60s. Wags and I took his girl blue eyes aka sweet tits and her cute friend to the George Clinton show and the World Cafe Live.

The best part of the show was definetly the venue. It was my first time in that place and it is sweet. The mainstage is larger and swankier than the TLA or the Troc and its got 2 other floors. One has some kind of private party room and the other has a cafe/bar also with a stage. ITs hooked up.

This dude I know knows the band and was onstage and brought the girls onstage. W went out afterwards to McGlincheys and then headed back to the hood and hung out till last call at the Mom's. Came back here with some peeps. Couple of chicks and some rando dudes. One of whom was the cute friends dude. I was kinda pissed about that. moving on.

Some people jammed out for a bit and we hung out on the deck in T shirts. It was sweet.

Went into the office yesterday, for the only time this week, got some face time with some peeps, first time for the project manager of the pro bono thing. Shes real cool. But other than that it was pretty oppresive. Maybe i was just tired; im really not into the "work" day schedule, I dont think it works iwth my natural rythms,

Waitin for my jaun

Its about midnight and im getting a little antsy becuase ive been waiting for the train to come home with my car and the K. we are only getting a little but we should be ok cause cletus has work tomorrow and says hes not going to indulge. Hope he get here soon; cant wait to get tranquil. Its kind of wierd to get excited about getting relaxed.

Im watching some ATHF mooninite episode.

hot tubbin

I wake up on the couch not remembering how i got there. Last thing I remebre is passing out in the afternoon on the beach. Oh well. Josh made some steamed veggies which were great and some salmon on the grill. We eat and then start getting drunk. Some play holdem while other including myself hit up the hot tub.

a couple of dude and 3 lovely ladies get in the tub and i pull ou the Johnie Walker Black and a J and pass both around a couple times till everyones loosened up then I loose the trunks. The Train follows suit and after a couple more swigs all the chicks are naked too. Oh how I love titties.

After I get thoroughly pruned i get out and check out what happening inside. I join the hold em game but dont fair so well. I think i still owe money for that actually. So, i turn my attention to the only available female in the place. keep in mind how wasted I am at this point.

I give her a massage and then ask she wants to join me in the other room for some stimulating conversation. Im flowing pretty well and we talk for a bit and then I lay on her the ol "we havnt known each other for that long but i think we a connection" . It works and we make out for a while and then meet in the bathroom for a minute but ultimately i get cock blocked by her older sister who sleeps in the same room with her,while her fiance sleeps by himself in another room, just to spite us.
leave out the part about unnecesary aggression
I pass out in a bed next to a hottie though so things didnt end up that bad

The morning after

We go down to Penns Landing, or whatever that place is called that goes over 95 and has that cool tall people sculpture, with the dog to see the sun rise. The rays are really warming and looking beautiful over the river.

Stop at Wawa for Sizzleys but sadly they were all out of eggs. I had a hankering so we ditched the dog and went to the diner. I'm still feelin good but my friends are starting to drag.

Go out to West Philly do drop off a friend and ride her surf board length long board a bit. That thing is sweet and it was really nice out.

Head back to the place and clean up from the last nights festivities with the mummers on in a pretty cracked out state.

They are dropping like flies and I decide I have to keep moving till I get to the beach. Wake Village up and head to Jerz stop at john's and smoke a bowl or 2 then pick the train up.

wait till the expressway to smoke a J and get a nice buzz on that keeps me up till we get to the shore house. As soon as we get there I take a clonopin and a swill of whiskey so does the train but village abstains. Go down to the beach and it is absolutely beautiful. January 1 and I'm on the jersey shore with my shirt off. We go for a walk, burn one do some yoga and pass out. I wake up hours later at my boys house.

picken up ladies at seven hundge

Yesterday was a pretty flowey day around the homestead. We ate mad sushi and decided that we had to get out of the hood tonight and try to talk to some females. We started lookin for a cab but didnt have much luck initiall,y so we went to Manny Brown's to visit our favorite waitress and get a pitcher of Lager. That place was beat so we drank our pitcher and hopped in cab to Northern Liberties. Wags wanted to stop somewhere before our final destination of The 700 club. We get out at Finnigans Wake, hear the music comin from the joint and find out there is a cover and immediatley get back in the car and continue on to 700 club.

We get there and things are as usual but a little slow becuase its still early. I havnt been to too many places in philly or otherwise but this one seems to be one of the better ones. Downstairs is a pretty standard bar with a cool atmosphere but upstairs is like a dance party in your grandma's house. Its decorated all old fashioned with wall paper and couches and chairs. The DJ plays a pretty decent mix, although I have to admit its starting to get old for me, of dance, hip-hop, 80's, electronic and indi dance rock stuff.

We rocked out, in our usual pimp style and started booty shaking with all the babes. Wags disapears for a while and when I find him hes by the bar with a beautilful female. Shes DD but shes a couple of girls with her who are getting wasted. We dance and get crazy or least I get crazy till last call then bounce with the babes back to the crib. Sickley and I grab one of the hotties to come get a cab with us and we meet the rest of them.

We roll up a couple spilfs for the ladies and get blazed. The chicks are all 22 cept for one Wags is into, shes 26. One of them is a serious ball buster, hard ass but we can take it and the other one had met some guy she met on myspace on the club and she was all bugged out cuase he was doing coke in the bathroom. Damn shame too cuase I was ready to get a ball and start doin lines off there asses. But seriously, they were cool chicks and we got some Maoz and I think we will see them again.

We get back to the crib, and continue to indulge in alchoholic beverages and our swiftly dwindling heady supply. We list to some Donald Byrd, Electric Byrd but thas only a guess becuase its one of my favorites when im real gone. We chill and get real silly tills its mad late. Grass wants to go to sleep, but I wont let her pullout the couch bed in the living rooms and she wont sleep in my room cuase she and I and it have a past and she wont sleep in Cletus's room becuase its dirty. By the way my roomate has many alias one of which is Cletus which he turns into when he gets very wasted and rowdy. So for some reason I and a few of my compatriates are not tired at all. Its gets to be a game of keeping up the people who want to go to sleep with the threat of them getting "Architeched" which is what cletus called "Antiquing".

Village falls asleep, with his shoes on, which makes him completely fair game for getting his ass architeced. We live on top of a bakery so Wags run down and gets a bag of flour; Grass steps up and hits Village and we burst out. Then we notice that lizard is has passed too and she was involved in the no passing out with shoes on discussion. Grass wails on her and loves doing it. I'm not satisfied so I get up and pow the both of them really creating a work of art.

A couple hours later they wake up and we cant contain ourselves and they realize what has happened.

A Tale of 2 Crews

So the one crew is starting to fade, but the freaks are still ready to roll over to my girls place where they got some NO2 flowing. We do some K for the road and After much motivating I get like 6 people to come with me. The Train plays his banjo the whole way there like a troubadour pickup some crazy dude as his vocalist along the way. When we get there the place is thoroughly gassed out and some kid I've know for 10 years and haven't seen in like 5 is blue.

In no time I'm into my gas zone, which after years of experimentation I have much more controls and awareness about. Strangely this nitrous experience did not center on the auditory as it often does but on visuals and physical feelings. With Each balloon I get a compounded peak to the point where I am having like quintuplet peaks. I get this multi-colored TV fuzz thing going on over my whole field of vision which comes to form pulsing cocentric circles.

I start to get some real heavy vibes from the purveyor of the tank who was getting antsy over his quickly dwindling gas supply due to the hungry freaks I brought along with me. By this time Ive gotten about as high on shit as I can without doing some serious damage. So, we return to the streets to disturb the locales

The eve of the new year

So we get mad food, and when I say mad food, i mean several hundred hors d'vours, huge meat chease and vegie tray, etc... We got a stocked liquor bar, a keg of Amstel light, K and molly as usual and some yey for the ocasion.

I put on a pimpin pink paisley shirt and we start partying early in the afternoon. By the time everyone shows up, its dark and im wasted. Tomas got there with the yey and hottness tunes and the party really gets going.

After some confusion and some molly we get everyone out of house and mosey on over to the E-factory. We get some drinks and a hot spot stage right for the crew. They come on shortly after and kick ass. They play some new stuff some old stuff, covers; hip-hop and rock and a bucnch of sit ins including black sheep and rhazel for the oncore show stopper. I get down and silly and start grinding with everything in sight. Some dude tells me he likes my moves but wants his girl back for the ball dropping.

When we leave its about 12:30 and the city is mobbed with dressed up people and limos and everything else. We try in vain to get a cab but have a great time walking home amongst all the festivities.

When we get back, the real party begins. our place turns into the Afterparty mostly for the concert but also for some other events. We all start getting down and dirty till we're all nice and fucked.

At this point 2 crews emerge...

Good eats and drinks

So Thursday wasn't really anything that special but it sure was nice to be off. Got up late and took the dog out with Garcia. The highlight was definitely Sarcone's, best Hoagies in Philly. Only thing that compares is White House in AC. Picked up some hot pepper shooters (stuffed with prosciutto and provolone and olives for the party.

Actually, now that I think about it I ate real well that day. Went to Smith and Wilenski with the rents. They have a dediculous salad with warm mushrooms and bacon. I had some kind of white fish with crab and mushroom stuffing that was really good.

Went to McGlincheys to meet up with the roomie's female and her peeps. She had a great looking friend this time who happens to live in the neighborhood. We Chatted for a while and I think she was vibin even though she had some dude she just met with her. The place was pretty cool, low key for center city but nothing special.

We got stayed till they kicked us out and got wasted. On our way out Wags tries to tackle me from behind and I duck, he grabs my hat and tumbles head on into the street, does a roll maneuver and pops back up.

The crackhead chick made me want to go get out there so we went back to the place and blew some rails of K and immediatly holed out for a bit. We got up and took the dog out and felt totally tweaked; motor skills and speach retarded. The dog park was emtpy so we just let the pup do his thing while we groked out on the pebbled concrete

My Favorite Blues song

Im gonna wake up in the morning and clean my house,
Said, Im gonna wake up in the morning and clean my house,

Im gonna mop those floors and do the dishes till they gleam like my pearly whites.

Had enough Funk

So right when the show starts, I push all the way up so that Im right in Maceo's face. Hes so classy in a pimp suit and workin the crowd. I start gettin into it and piss a few people off but they mellow out when they realize that my intention are only for myself and those around me to have the best time possible .

I get down hard for bout five songs and them just get bored and we decide to go get some air. When we go to the front the security let us stand in the vestibule, thankfully, and this crack head chick i seen around before comes up and starts rappin at me. Shes saying all kinds of crazy stuff to fast for me to comprehend but the fact that she says everything in double speak makes it a little easier or maybe harder, Nevertheless all I gleened was that she is insane and or on drugs and has unique verbal abilities. I'll definetly see that one again, Im not lucky enough not to.

kickin it off with maceo paker

Started the weekend off, on wednesdey becuase, like I said it was my last day on the gig and due to that I had a reason to get fucked up. My Roomate has turned in to an all out K head but the shit is almost gone and we dont will really have easy access any longer. He made some heady miso soup with the wired mushroom I got that are supposedly good for thickening soups beucase of the gelatin in the caps. So, he had been doin that shit all night, I wasnt really cuase I had been workin all day and wanted to stay up for the show. I ate some shards and they were nasty. Went over to the TLA and was feelin pretty good but ancy. they had a DJ and he was playing some pretty good shit including a remix of Beck's Debra which I'm all bout.

As a Side note, for weeks the largest act at that shit hole the TLA had his name mispelled .

Must go Hit Bongs....
