 Truth
#219 posted by Tronyn on 2006/06/03 23:56:48
well, what is truth worth anyway? Not much from my point of view, within which I include philosphical as well as aesthetic reasons. I mean I sentimentally go for truh, but aside from sentimentality I think there is no reason at all.
Existentialism blah blah blah. We are monkeys on a rock in space. As sad as it is.
I never tried drugs to escape though; I drink to escape (and still do, and am doing so now in fact). In my own experience though I learned a bit about how I think, and what I apply to perceptions, from drugs. Not that I am saying it has really been that useful; of an experience.

"Kinda pointless to feel stuff if it's not real and all that reasoning. I'm slightly drunk btw."
You don't see the 2nd part of your statement to be contradicting the first?
 Yes

it was mostly intentional.
Habits and trends define much of what's "the ultimate absolute truth and principle that has always been and always will be".
Drunkenness is a thing. Sometimes it makes you somewhat happier and sometimes it makes you just pity yourself (which can be almost hilarious in hindsight). Some friend speculated that it amplifies whatever mood you already have. Dunno. Then there's the social dimension, which is probably often much bigger than the actual effect.
I don't know if any lasting good has come to me from any drinking ever. It's like being out on saturday night and you're feeling that the place you're in sucks so bad, but you know you'd feel even worse at home. (Sorry, my english ain't that colourful.) I heard there's a new non-smoking bar in town. Gotta check it out some time.
Do you guys smoke?

I mean cigarettes, tobacco, the plain thing.
 Yeap,

but only when I drink. I smoke nasty Camels so I don't get a compulsion to smoke while I'm sober.

Although if I had a good source, I might be tempted to try a hit of DMT. Then again maybe that is just a fleeting notion.
 Absinthe
#226 posted by Kinn on 2006/06/24 15:20:41
Ow, my friggin head... o_O
Last night, I ended up sharing with a friend, the better part of a bottle of imported Czech absinthe, with 72% AbV, that he'd got as a birthday present. Once we ran out, we brought out the Scotch >_<
Got to bed at around 4am, was woken up at 8.30am by the shitsmear living below me doing DIY (who the fuck does DIY at 8:30am on a Saturday morning?)
Needless to say, I'm feeling absolutely scrazzled, and I don't think I'll be repeating the experience in a hurry oh christ I need to lie dow-
 Excellent Story,

Don't you celebrate midsummer? I know you do in Sweden?
Advice:
Sleeping outside without a tent needs, besides good weather (warm & no rain), a somewhat windy weather and place. The mosquitoes are really annoying and only leave when it gets warm and light. Also pick a place which doesn't have an ant path. >8C
Also, swimming in cold waters tends to make you feel somewhat more alive compared to all these virtual experiences that nowadays fill out a big part of a day. It doesn't last very long though.
Nature gives such incredible wealth of detail and forms and colors and sounds and smells and even touches of surface texture that it's hard to remember that when just living your days in the city.
At this old age, I don't understand the people at 5 am drinking ever more even when very tired. But a beer or few at times is good for relaxing or firing up some extrovertion. Like now.
I was using a car so didn't drink much, that's a reason too, why I didn't take much then but now some.

was drinking 3 days in a row: the first day was my friends bday, the second was a pagan holiday we made and the third one was the continue of a pagan holiday.
Just came back from woods/mountains/sea where we celebrated it. And got some vodka and beer after I had returned to civilization

I had my first beer in a week. Weihenstephaner original, 0.5L bottle. Nice beer. I might try their Hefeweissbier next weekend.
I'm laying off beer during the week while I read about ancient Mesopotamia and the next-dumbest "science" after sociology: anthropology.

Oh my god. A 10% AbV stout on tap in my favourite Derby real ale pub is just asking for trouble.
It did.
Fuck.
 Err

wtf - the title of that post should be "Durham Temptation" - the name of the stout in question.

Sammy Smith's Lager Beer tonight. 550ml. Nice yellow color, small white head. Little lacing. I still have an excess of mucas from being sick last weekend so my sense of smell is a bit off right now, but it smells vaguely sweet. Taste is bitter, hops, reminding me of Warsteiner (it seems I compare all lagers/pilsners to that), alcohol becomes present as the temperature approaches 50F/10C and goes beyond. Carbonation is nice, but not tons of CO2 thankfully.
I'm not sure it was worth the $3, but it's cheaper than going to the bar.
 Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier

I had Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier last night. I don't remember much about it other than it wasn't as floral or spicey as I thought it would be.
BTW Kinn, you should take it easy with teh b00ze.

built on the steps of the road of excess or some shit like that so keep drinking Kinn. Though Absinthe, I don't know man, I have heard stories of dudes shaving their skin off with razors after embibing the green fairy. Could be pure bullshit.
I've been drinking Amstel light, tonight.

Me, bamb and Jago. I think bamb was sober nearly the whole evening, I was mildly buzzed, and Jago had that blissful look of someone who knows he's got to get up early the next morning but doesn't care about it right there and then.
Another tomorrow?

I've appointed a m�kkireissu.
I'm so old I don't do that alcohol thing much anymore. All the workplace parties years ago with free drinks etc... kinda took the magic off. And my parents have never taken a secretive or forbidden aspect to drinking, it's normal to have some with good friends. So there was never a mystery for me to "explore". :/
I think my stomach didn't like that whateveritwas half-salmari-half-unknown shot and I've been a little tired and painful today.
Jago: for some reason it was quieter than two weeks ago, even in the bar I went then later to. But on weekends it's always more stuff.

Yeah, waking up at 7 AM the next morning was slightly painful, but I did manage to do it and get to work on time :)

I get off work at 15.00, leaving Helsinki at around 17.20 and I am out of money until Monday, so I can't stick around unfortunately. Maybe some other time :)
