Trip report on an 1/8 and a half! (AMAZING)

What's up all, just thought I would post about a recent trip I had, now that I have had some time to mull it over and reflect on it.
It started just before my winter break (I am in college), and it was about 11:30 AM. I ate a full 1/8 of mushies in my room by myself and sat back waiting for the "stuff" to grab me. About 45 minutes went by and I was just starting to feel a bit "electric", if you know what I mean, and then a couple of my fraternity buddies came up to my room and wanted to know if I wanted to hang out with them for a while. I don't drink at all, but they were already a few beers deep and I was beginning to think this was a bad idea because I was soon to be on a completely different plane of existence than them. But I said, what the hell, I'll just go hang with them for a while. Fortunately, it all went really well. We jsut sat there and bullshitted for a while, they made me watch this funny flash video from some website ("Oh Papa smurf, want me to lick your ass? YEAH BITCH, LICK MY ASS BITCH!"). Maybe some of you have seen it Anyways, that was good fun. Then one of my friends decided to give my other friend a haircut. Now, as boring as this sounds, it was incredible to watch. I mean, I was sitting there thinking about how strange it was that we have these thousands of little tentacles coming out of our heads and we just chop them off every now and then...
Okay, so about 2 hours has gone by, and I am really starting to feel it. So, I part ways with my friends and try explain to them the best I can that I just need to be alone to fully explore my journey. It's really snowy outisde, so I decide to go for a walk. WOW is all I can say. I bundled up really nice, put on my blue lensed aviator glasses , and decided to walk around the block. I explicitly remember looking at some trees and thinking to myself (I think I was speaking outloud to myself too, but I can't remember now) "Those trees are not real, they are plastic. If I walk over to them, and climb them, I will find a copyright mold or made in china tag on them." Then I began to hysterically laugh, and then immediately ran back to my house because I realized cars were driving by, seeing a lunatic staring and laughing at the sky and trees in the frigid cold.
Anyways, I manage to get back up to my room, after walking up and down the stairs twice trying to remember where it was I wanted to go and almost flipping out at the prospect of not being able to remember it. So, after that little scare, I am back in my room and I remember that people have told me to listen to the whole Lateralus album by T00L when tripping. I am a really big T00L fan to begin with, but I was not prepared for what I was about to experience. I started it up with "The Grudge" and instantly I was mezmerized. Mental imagery and bodily spasms (I remember sort of feeling like I was dancing, but it was so much more primal and natural that I didn't even think about it) began to explode throughout me and I turned my music as loud as I could possibly stand. I then, and I still can't remember why, stood upon my chair in the middle of my room, took my clothes off except for my boxers and then just swayed and pulsed and sang with the music until the entire album was finished. I vividly remember trying to listen to certain corners of my room because I felt that there were secrets and answers in everything that was surrounding me. While I was standing on my chair, I kept examining my body and all the curves and textures that make us what we are. Every little detail was absolutely mezmerizing. Particularly my hands. I felt so much power and emotions pouring from hands, like I could do anything, perhaps even reach out and destroy or heal anything with my hands. I also remember looking into one corner of room, that was darker and had my shadows cast up on it, and I could reach out and touch the wall with my shadow. I felt sad for some reason that something so simple such as a corner of a dark room could hold so much power. So, I am about 3.5, almost 4 hours into the trip and I am definently tripping balls, so I begin to feel a bit poetic. Using the "corner experience" I write down in a notepad on my computer "Appreciating the touch of your skin, if only with my shadow." For some reason, this flexing and pulsing corner had completely taken on a humanistic quality and I practically fell in love with it so to speak. Not on a human emotional level, like "Oh baby I love you, lets get married", but more on a survival, almost primalistic level. I felt like it was me and I was it. Like, if I didn't reach out to it and caress it with my shadow, it would fade away and in turn, I would fade too. I could go on for days about all the intricate complexities and "epiphonies" I had while listening to this album, but I will refrain because I almost think they need to be experienced on your own to really fully appreciate them (much like every aspect of a mushie trip). One song though, in particular, was Schism. At about 3:29 in the song, I was completely taken aback. I hunkered down on my chair and hugged my knees into almost a fetal position and had somewhat of a breakdown. For no reason at all that I can even come close to describing, I started crying. It was the most comfortable and beautiful thing I have ever witnessed. I was in this state of complete security. All I could see and feel in my mind was the color yellow, and this sense that something was holding me tightly all over my body and my mind. I still don't remember why that happenend, but know that I will remember it for the rest of my life. After about 5 hours into the trip, I decided I didn't want this beautiful journey to end, so I popped in about a half an 1/8th. The rest of the trip was pretty basic and beautiful as well, but much more predictable. I played some World of Warcraft and found myself just venturing all over the vast game not even bothering with the mindless gaming aspects of the game. I just got on my tiger, and rode around looking at everything. I also found it pretty cool to chat with my friends online in the game while coming down.
Anyways, this was fun for me to just reflect and write this up, so I hope I didn't sound too long winded. Mush on!

For some people, it is a frightening risk. To me, that's the psychedelic experience." Terence McKenna

A few weeks ago I was tripping on a pretty heavy dose(about a quarter) I was alone in my room and also being a huge tool fan decided to pop in Aenima and listen to it. I laid down in bed and listening to the last track..third eye, everything just started going crazy. Reality was being torn away and things get way chaotic. Its hard to explain, Its like something would go off in my brain and when it did I would duck my head and look around the room and be like "what the fuck happened". Not a very comfortable feeling. Anyways tool can be very intense whilst tripping but on a normal dose it can be very beautiful too.
