Finally saw it tonight. A friends idea, and a wonderful one at that.
We both insuffilated two good lines of Ketamine and pressed play...
Within 5 minutes I was entrenched in this fantastic movie that is the basic reality of my existence.
Such loneliness.
Such exploitation.
At one point I thought, "We are all so lonely. And we can only pretend we know whats going on."
This is a bit of an exaggeration I believe, offered to me by my heightened sense of being "in the movie".
It does frighten me though.
And I know I am only one small smeck of human here, yet so vast inside.
Where am I riding this train? Where did I begin my quest? Is there any ending that isn't just a means to an end? Is their a brighter path for the human race?
From a balance beam, there are so many footfalls we are unsure of. Yet we walk the plank!

Truly well said, like prose poetry, like the voice inside my head. I've never seen the movie or done ketamine but your description hits close to home for me, I've felt that way most of my life.

Ah man! That movie is truly amazing, it inspired me as well as some of my friends to make some changes in our lives after seeing that movie on mushrooms.
It's really a masterpiece of art...everyone who watches it gets something different from it.

Ketamine gets a bad rap...
Though I am a devout Mycophagist and readily pay homage and bow down to Teonanacatl before any other "god" or "spirit", there is a place in my heart for ketamine. A special place i might add.
One where I tend to wobble when I walk and have a tendency to get completely consumed by Music and Movies while still retaining a sense of self.
Favorite thing to do with K:
Put a good fat line up ma nostril and another up the other! (remember you need two wings to fly) put on a cd I enjoy (instrumental or bardic, it matters not you just have to enjoy listening to it normally) lay down in the dark with headphones on or music blasted! COMMENCE TRIPPING.
wee!
