Turning it all aroung...

^got the right idea for sure. good words.

and to the poster one above bill, you are so right about hugs! my roommates and i realized at some point during the year that we had not only stopped having stressful episodes during trips, but that all of our recent trips had been 99% anxiety free, which was a novel concept to us. even on the best of trips before, there would always be at least a few uneasy times when we just weren't sure of something (anything? everything?)
later on, this summer while rolling, perhaps the reason for this was that we had gotten over our physical hangups and were just hugging a lot more. we were all very close to begin with but just that little bit of physical intimacy with a platonic friend can make worlds of difference. the power of touch is not to be underestimated.

 

i came across this thread again and realised what a great idea this is, to draw a smily face and/or other things on yourself before your trip so that you can place yourself in time or something , when lost

 

that seems like a smart idea, it's good that it worked out

 

last year on my birthday my friends threw a big party in the woods. almost a hundered kids were outthere in and old redowwd grove. i had a bottle o 3 in 1 concentrated chzech. mixed it into a bottle of J garcia wine. then another friend of mine shows up with this really cool stealie print and starts rippin it up and sendin it around like it was goin out of style there were only bout ten people not spun cookies. that ol alligigator wine is wht really got everyone. great time though, lots of love lots of whiskey no black eyes(strange occurance for my crew) in the mornin when everyone was just startin to collect theyre thoughts a forrestry ranger came down and there were about ten of us smokin some dmt in a stump. he knew what was going on and bassically told us to clean up after ourselves and to stop burning treated wood cause it stinks. if only he knew it wasnt wood. shows are kinnda wierd to be that high. its all good and allfun cause usually theres a ton of people i know from all over thecountry at eery show igo to, but theres still somthin weird about bein around that many people some high some not, some good somebad. ya know what toi mean? i used to be notorius for the bottles of alligator wine but i feel like i got way toomany people who didnt need to get that high, high. i sometimes forget not eeryone has gone quite as far as i have. dont get me wrong i dont spin people out unknowingly but i tend to act like its not very strong knowing damn well its a concentrate. there was this older head at the phil show in sf a few weeks ago and we had an XXX bottle that we were spinnin around the circe. this guy was already high and drank a good quarter of this bottle that had 9,000 mics of swiss wash that had 3 grams broken down in it. the guy ended up losing his shit and jumping in the marina. saw him hours after layin on a bench in the parkin lot shivering and babblin gibberish. i gave im' my cats down under hoodie and told him jerry luvs him.
