Club Vietnam!!

I love to get high, and I love Vietnam era American Rock and Roll. A sad time in our country to be sure, but great art can rise from pain can't it. Not that these songs are masterpieces by any means. But in terms of building imagery in your head and taking you on a journey back in time, they are gonna be pretty hard to beat.

I rent all my music, via the wonderful invention of the Microsoft Zune and it's GLORIOUS Zune Pass monthly subscription. Some people might like their Vietnam with a bit more MoTown in it, but I like mine to be a BIT more "stoner" in character.

The Tracks Of My Tears - Smokey Robinson, the one that started it ALL for me. The song that plays durring the bunker scene in Platoon. The scene where Charlie Sheens character gets high for the first time in life. Showing you the fun side, if their was one, in Vietnam. One wonders what those soldiers would have done without the great herb in their lives.

Dear Mr. Fantasy - Traffic, possibly the best of the bunch. Don't believe me, just smoke some pot, give it a listen and look through vietnam photographs.

IF you have any sugestions, I'm ALL ears.

RiP Vietnam Soldiers....long live the music of your generation...as long as it lives so does our memories of all of you who fought and died.

Check out this amazingly cute picture I took

I got a new digitial camera, I got a great discount because of the place I work. Sony a700, so i've been farting around with it and a bit of HDRI image magic. :-) I'm trying to figure out what looks good with HDRI and what doesn't. Sometimes you get these amazingly odd images, sometimes images that don't look that special at all. This picture falls into the later category I think.....but it sure is cute...and makes me wana' smoke!

First week back to work, ON WEED!!!

Ahhh, the life of a pothead.

I was living the life "kisses the sky".

On an average, say, Monday I may wake up around 9:30 or so. First thing I might do is smoke a bowl, in my opinion there is NO better high than a W'n'B. After that bowl, I might walk down to a starbucks and get a late' and perhaps a breakfast sandwich. Walking outside, I'd go out the front, I'd be greeted by the beach sand and ocean instantly.

"Ahhh, nice breeze today. Quite a bit of sun already, what is it 70? I guess that explains why there are all these people on the beach."

After I gather my coffee and sandwich I'd head back to my place. Going inside it's time to open the blinds and let the outside in, ahh, much better. After catching up on some television my coffee and sandwich are gone, time for a shower.

Cleaned up, we're looking at 10:30 or 11 by now, what should I do before lunch? Any and all errands are run after smoking a post shower bowl. Driving around in my little sports car, I'll find somewhere for lunch, I got all the time in the world, lets drive down the coast and eat on the beach. At some point, I'll usually end up in a weed store to buy a few goodies and since I have a lot of time why not sit inside the store and smoke a bowl. OK!!!!

Getting back at home post errands and the sun is shining, sunset a couple of hours away. Feels like a good time to put on some tunes and ride my bicycle somewhere to catch a beer and the sunset. All of this of course, is done after a bowl or 3.

On an average day, I'll ride my bicycle once, do 2 or so errands, walk about a mile to various locations nearby and smoke about 4 or so bowls. THAT IS THE LIFE.

WELL IT ENDED.....eventually we all have to work don't we?

Now I have to wake up and be somewhere by 9. I have to have my wits about me since I'm learning some complicated new software so no W'n'B for me. My lunch is limited to 1 hour so no smoke breaks yet. GRRRR. I love my new gig, but man, I sure miss the best life ever.
