chapter 2- technology, god, and crocodile dundee
it was not long after i ate the shrooms that i could tell i was in for a wild ride. about 5 minutes into it i was already feeling the pre trip anxieties. i caught myself staring at the carpet for an extended period of time, and before long i was well into the come up. it was at this point that i decided i needed to walk to the 7-11 for some cigs. it was either now or never, cuz later it would be completly out of the question. about half way there i decided i wanted some gum and pop rocks as well. this was where i ran into the slanted side walks taking me through a jungle. (see pics above) at first, i thought that i just "thought" that the side walks were at an angle...but as it turns out, they really were.
we walked past a house that had a massive amount of plants in the yard. i stopped and looked, and i felt like i should be seeing a monkey swinging by a vine any time now. it was dark, so what i saw was not the pictures that i had posted. what i saw when i looked into that persons yard was a jungle. the plants looked alive. not only alive, but evil. these plants were posessed by evil spirits wanting to take my soul. but i wasnt scared, in fact, i wanted to see what would happen...i stared into the eyes of these evil plants for only a moment, but as far as i was concerned it was hours. the tall plant with the purple flowers (in the first pic) was the boss. all others were just this ones minions. its vines were spiraling out of it like tentacles from a giant octopus, and i had come to the conclusion that it used these tentacles to suck the souls out of people just passing by. it danced around quite playfully, as did its minions, but i was onto it. i knew what they were up to. they wanted my soul. they were trying to lure me closer in hopes that i would venture just close enough so that the boss could latch its tentacles to my eyes and suck the life right out of me. hah! i may be dumb, but im not THAT dumb. i like my soul, and there was no way i was gonna fall into their evil trap. i laughed as i caught my train of thoughts concerning these plants, took one last look at the evil-soul-sucking-purple-flower-demon and its minions as they danced around, and continued down the slanted sidewalk towards the 7-11.
alas, we have arrived at our destination. standing before the door into the 7-11, i knew it would be in my best interest to keep my trip to myself as i wander through the store looking for goodies. this was hard. very hard. while in the store i got very paranoid, and it felt like all eyes were on me. i felt like i was a fugitive on the run. i was half expecting to see a wanted poster behind the counter with my picture on it. and im sure by now that my eyes are quite dialated, and knowing this little bit of info didnt help my paranoia at all. so it was now my mission to be in and out, get my supplies before anyone recognized my face and called the authorities.
i found my way to the candy section. damn, no pop rocks. i really wanted some pop rocks. gum, gum....wheres the gum? oh, there it is, right in front of my face. lets see....what looks good? ahhhh.....twisted tornado, bubbleicious. k, now all i need is cigs and im outa here. i feel like im gonna explode. i ask for some cigs, marlboro reds, pay the man and we are on our way back home.
god, i was so happy to get out of that store. i couldnt handle much more of that before i just wigged out. not the perfect place to be tripping, and by this time im well into my trip. the come up on these shrooms was faster than i have ever experienced. it was like a tidal wave. by the time it took to walk to the store and back, i had successfuly stepped into the other side.
oh, and just in case you were wondering....the gum sucked.
a letter to bubbleicious
dear bubbleicious-
this is in regards to your "twisted tornado" flavor bubble gum. i recently purchased this product and was not happy with it. i would like my 79 cents refunded immediatly. also, the team of employees who came up with this sad excuse for bubble gum should be fired. was this an attempt at a low carb, diet version of your gum? its taste was bland. tasted like rain water. not that rain water tastes bad, but with a name like "twisted tornado" i was expecting a little more. this gum was so horrible that not 2 minutes into my first (and last i might add) piece of this blue gob of shit, i had to pull it out of my mouth and throw it to the curb. oh, and this isnt just my opinion. my two friends, chris and chris both agree that this gum sux a donkeys dick. so there you have it, our own clinical study.... 3 out of 3 customers agree that this gum isnt fit for human consumption. please remove this flavor from your big-book-o-flavors. thanx.
sencerly yours a very unappy customer
we went back into 40s room, and im tripping....staring at shit move and breath, nothing too fancy or worth bragging about. we were taking pictures with our new digital cameras, listening to music and watching the visualizations on winamp....and i couldnt help but notice how cool this shit is. i love technology. the internet, the music, the toys.....all of it, awsome.
then i remembered about something that i wanted to do while tripping. you know that flashback shpongle video thing? well if you dont, you will by the time your done reading this part of my report. i wanted to watch it. so i get on the computer....ummmmm....how do i work this thing? i hate technology. so i have 40 help me.....but we cant find it. we did however find this....kinda funy-

god i hate that shit, but i made everyone watch it for god knows how long. i remember babling on and on about it, and 40 was like ....dude, its just looping over and over. this was so funny to me....i love technology.
so we had a laugh, and continued with the search. using the computer was nuts. the buttons were moving all over the place and even using my own skin the shroomery looked completly foreign. we searched and searched but no, it was no where to be found. i hate technology. finally.....we found it

and it was just as amazing as i thought it would be. even the sober people in the room found it to be quite amazing, as im sure you will as well if you havent seen it already. (edit....i just now took a rip of some salvia. this has nothing to do with the trip report exept for the fact that i did it while typing. look for my next trip report entitled, trip report of me writing a trip report while on salvia. continue reading) so ya, ummmm.....where was i? oh ya, technology. i love it, and i hate it. its a love hate relationship.
now, done with the computer and all things technological for a while, i lay back in 40s love sack and stare at his tye die sheet hes got hanging on his ceiling. heres some pics....
  
 
and heres some pics that 40 took of me while im looking at it...

 
this is where god enters my trip. and this is where this chapter ends. i was gonna talk all about the tye die sheet, and the visuals i was seeing while listening to infected mushroom on headphones in a dark black-light lit room and stareing inot the sheet.....but as it turns out that goes into the next chapter. hope you enjoyed it so far, if not....at least i did.
