A quick stream of consciousness

I ate a half-bag of mushrooms today. They didn’t kick in until about an hour after my tea. And my friend is having a party tonight, but not with the usual crowd. These are her friends. New faces. And it would be really nice to see my friend and meet all of hers, but the mushrooms have yet to wear off. Wouldn’t want to scare them off or offend someone with how honest this trip is. Auras are clearly showing their true colors today.

AND now sitting on my couch during the day of May 26th, 2012, I would be proud to say that life is what it is, and we much use everything to our advantages.

The Youth Generation took America and it’s time to a far out place while it was here. Hunter Thompson was to take a great role in his involvement with his book, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey into the American Dream. It was a book of honesty, laughter and paranoia. With Thompson being a part of the Youth Generation, his influences definitely show throughout the book with the use of psychedelics, and mentioning songs of the time. A small section of the book, The Wave Speech (which can be found on pages 66-68) I found very interesting as it shows that Hunter is very proud of the moment in time of which that it was. As he says, “Maybe it meant something”, something as in it was very important in time for later decades to reflect on. Besides the drug use, the Youth Generation is what kept youth alive today, and challenged authorities about the basics of humanitarian rights, then everyone else in America with moral values. How Fear and Loathing connects with the Youth Generation, why I feel that the Youth speech is such a prominent part of the book regardless of its length is that throughout the book there is nothing all that satisfying to Raoul Duke (the alias of Thompson). His attorney slightly seems to be of some entertainment to Duke, but the motorcycle derby and the convention wasn’t at all of interest, but that might go hand-in-hand sometimes with the job. “Strange memories on this nervous night. Five years later? Six?” The fact that he is reflecting back to those days shows that he cares about something. Which doesn’t show throughout the book of anything else. He had faith that America had done something right, and with a republican in office that was as crooked as a nail hammered in by someone heavily-intoxicated. The time that he felt that there was a little bit of light in his heart that was worth showing, especially with the civil rights movement finally getting what they deserved. His personality has been fueled by focusing on such hatred towards the president and how much negative prejudice there was in the country growing up. I would like to agree that the world has learned from the Youth movement, and even today is still keeping it alive through influences in music and the arts. Even social norms, along side the civil rights movement, the world has become a more compassionate place. Not to speak for all through out America, there are definitely places that do need to be worked with, and it all depends on where you find your influences, with prejudice still alive today as well, just kept down with a “don’t ask, don’t tell” manner. The Wave speech is what I believe is Hunter reflecting back in his days to what he wanted to believe was the American Dream. As he had such devotion to his words and honesty. Then compared to how honest he was through the rest of the book. It was love at first sight.



I just blew through this in about ten minutes for English, an essay. Worth 70% of our grade. Hopefully it’ll get me a passing grade!

I’ve begun to use the schools network drive to store all of my music. So I can have the comfort of listening to my music instead of the shit ass radios playing around school, without having to carry and external hard-drive. Fuck ye.
14GB, and still growing.

Buy low and sell high,
remember there are apples in your eyes.
You probably look your best,
when you feel your worst.
Fill yourself with happiness
until you’re fit to burst.
Run a little each day,
it will stop you from thinking.
Forgive yourself and others too,
it cuts down on my drinking, anyway.

Crystal marbles fell from the sky
and landed on my outstretched hand,
but my warmth melted the glassy globe,
all things eventually die, all things erode.

And when you came, you were precious
as the liquid drops are at the height of a drought,
you were salvation and I said I’d love you forever,
but forever drowned at a season’s change
of clime and weather.
