Coffee

Tonight, during the consumption of coffee. A friend asked why I "wasn't over there".

Alex : Man why aren't you over there with them? Is something wrong?

Me : What? Why would something be wrong?

Alex : I don't know man, she's over there you're over here.

Me : No no no. I don't want to barge into their party, you know?

Alex : What?

Me : You know, like would you go to a party if you weren't invited?

Alex : Yes. Last night!

Me : Yeah I do that to. Ok, that wasn't a good example.

Alex : Nooo.

Me : Ok I got it! I don't want to be an american.

Alex : What do you mean?

Me : Were the americans invited into Iraq?!

Alex : HAHAHAHAHA!

Me : See my point?

Alcohol and writers

Why is it that most great writers were practically alcoholics?

A small example :

Lord Byron - “Man being reasonable must get drunk; The best of life is but intoxication; Glory, the grape, love, gold."

Dylan Thomas - "An alcoholic is someone you don't like who drinks as much as you do."

Edger Allen Poe - "I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom."

William Faulkner - "First you take a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes you."

Ernest Hemingway - "An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools."

It's always been that writing such great works must be a job of mad men. And the only way mad men can calm their thoughts is through the use of alcohol (Jim Morrison might be a great example as well).

As I write this I also have consumed a few glasses of Jack Daniels, not because it may or may not help me write, but because I just like bourbon.

Cure for depression

Hahahahaha, Well I have to agree to some degree.

Drugs

Drugs

Here's a list of some of the drugs i want to do within the next 3 years

Lsd

Mescaline

Shrooms

Amphetamines

Poppers

Salvia

It's been almost a year since I wrote this. Scratched amphetamines and poppers of the list since that shit scares the fuck out of me now and poppers just seem useless at this point. Still haven't taken any steps towards acquiring any of the substances on this list, apart from lsd (since Brandon still doesn't want to get me my fucking acid already!).

Letter to the Countess Teresa Guiccioli

"I love you, and you love me, - at least, you say so, and act as if you did so, which last is a great consolation in all events. But I more than love you, and cannot cease to love you.
Think of me, sometimes, when the Alps and the ocean divide us, - but they never will, unless you wish it."

-Lord Byron

P.S.

P.S. Could not you and I contrive to meet this spring? Could not you take a run here alone?
